Also don't hit on girls in the gym, you have no chance and you look like a complete ass hat. says who? i mean if shes got a bf, then yes, possibly, but for the most part, the gym is an ideal location for the health conscious to meet other like-minded people. unless you have some beat up ass teeth or dumbo ears, most single girls are pretty receptive. besides, what average girl is going to accept the fact that i love my muscles more than her company? :pfft: Chicks already feel somewhat insecure and self concious in a gym filled with fit/buff people and are well aware that guys are eye fucking them through an intricate system of vectors and angles bouncing off each mirror in the gym such that Pythagoras himself would be mind blown.are you saying that girls who come into the gym with their asses flossed in tights and their push up bras lifted up to a plain thats almost causing her tunnel vision, are insecure? So by all means fill your wank bank with as much "inspiration" as you require, we are men we can't help it but don't think because she checked her form in the mirror that, as the 6th in a chain of reflective surfaces that are bouncing visible light from her perfectly formed ass to your corneas, means she is in any way interested. there will always be guys who are like dog checking out a t-bone - these are the guys who fail. i never mind f*ck a pussy cat unless she has milk all over her paws, and has initiated the mind fucking process to begin with.The gym has the wrong pretext and unless she's a major sluzza, she will brush you off as a creep,well maybe if your a sociopath and you try to put your hands on her tits before asking for her name, then theres a good possiblity that will be the outcome. hit on her once she's in the car park (srs) you will have 999999999x more chance. is this the part where you come up behind her with your gym towel covered with chloroform to "greet" her politely?

id have to disagree, refer to my responses in bold.

Hahahaha nah just a casual observation that almost every woman in the world is insecure or self concious in some way with regards to her body and that the gym provides the wrong pretext to work with. I would say the majority of women would assume you are creepy or just after one thing if you approached her in the gym. Its just more of a threatening environment, thats why they have women only gyms like contours for this very reason.

Having said that, there are always exceptions. However these woman would be very confident in themselves and probably very secure with regards to their body image, and yeah they are probably the ones wearing tights flossing their ass cracks :pfft:

People that dont flush after dropping the mean workout dump at the gym.

Those gym toilets must get a hammering eh

I'm sure some peeps are doing some impressive dumps and all but no need to leave it there for the next fella to bowl in there busting to let loose only to find a suprise like that. Flush you fukkas!

[Gym rat]

That would also be gym peeve of mine which I have to put up with a fair bit at the gym that I work like people not flushing the mens loo after going for a dump and also leaving bits of loo paper lying around the loo.

I have that issue at work :shock: i'm one of the younger ones here and fek even I was raised if it's brown flush it down no excuse for 40 yo men to not flush or wash your hands NONE.

[Grover]

Thats nothing to complain about, first time I went into a site toilet (and not many building sites here even have one) was the last time!

Paper is not flushed, used and piled next to toilet and some poor smuck has the job of taking paper out and then burning it!

:puke:

[Riccardo]

Hahahahaha^ don't ever go to Greece then. Their sewer system can't handle toilet paper so after you wipe it goes in a little bin which someone then has to empty.

[muscle99]

People who borrow the plates from a machine or station and take them over to the other side of the gym & leave them there. This is a little annoying when your trying to keep your rest periods short.

People who stop in front of me, pursuing eye contact & waving at me to take my earphones out while halfway through a set (providing I actually have my eyes open).

[loveggs]

the fuken idiots who walk round in there litle tank fukn tops and there 500 dollar walkmans doin fuk all lifting peanuts gazing in 2 the mirror and thinkin they looking like phill heather! do some phukn research eat like a whore on a good night and do it properly!!

and for the asian who walks around in a phukn girls singlet talking on his phone WTF!!! please leave ...........................

and the old 70 year old lol who comes in wearing a phull blowen suit an rows for a litlle then tread mill (in office shoes lmfao!) an does some weird cable shit hahaha good on ya but geepers!

an the guy who does 30 different excersises WRONG , 2 HEAVY. BAD FORM, please get som phukn help!

and phinally the pepz who dont train legs !!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[severe]

The loud laughers, who are usually the same peeps that have conversations across the gym.

Insecure attention seekers, in my opinion. And they only get loud when more impressive physiques arrive.

squeek squeek... :pfft:

[thatwaslight]

people who walk too slowly round the gym and get in my way you're not a piece of wagu beef you phaggot. get the f*ck out of my way before i put a barbell through your face.

[AgentOrange]

wearing golds gym singlets with arms the size of toothpicks. Doing db rows against the db rack so i cant get to my weights til the finish.

Could'nt phucking believe both squat racks today were being occupied by 2 seprate skinny faggots doing curls.....mind= obliterated

Last week, a PT had dragged a Exercycle into one of the squat racks, and had his client just cycling on it while super setting with box jumps.

Reading shit like this makes me feel spoiled. Do people really do this sort of thing, or are these comments about curling in squat racks just piss-takes? Serious question. Cos I've never seen anything even remotely like it at my gym. The only non-squat exercises I've seen performed in the racks are things like good mornings and rack pulls.

[mike27]

yeah it happens!!

I curl in the squat racks.

I don't see what the bid deal is to be honest. I would never curl if someone wants to use the rack to squat in, but if two or three are free then i'll do it.

I guess it is kind of lazy, but if you take the bar out, load it up, and curl somewhere else, it's not like they can squat without a bar.anyway :S

I hate waiting on some dude who's doing shitty form on squats with a lame arse weight and thinking he's super hard core... that's my pet peeve... lol and yeah I am usually waiting for the rack so I can do curls or standing military press.

Unless I wanted to squat, I wouldn't necessarily have an issue with someone BB curling in the squat racks at my gym, because they disposed of any pre-made barbells over 20 kg.

Although there's one short (10kg) straight bar and some EZ bars and loose plates, if you're curling (or indeed standing mil press, upright row, or clean-and-press) you'd be using an oly bar.

Squat racks are for squatting, however - so if there ARE spare bars NOT in the racks, go use one of them.

But why would someone do dumbbell curls in a squat rack - which I have seen, as recently as this week. :doh:

It sounds like I'll be very happy there :grin: It never fails to amaze me the things some students use the racks for at Unipol. On the bright side, they're usually easily intimated twigs, who when asked how many sets they have left, it always seems to be 1 :pfft:

I also hate this! Idiots squatting in our curl racks. When will they learn. :naughty:

[bang_bang]

You must have missed seeing me then. :wink:

Good place to do curls with the the thick bar.
