[polish]

Nothing wrong with being subtle as a sledgehammer. Works for me.

no major issues at my gym. but some of the girls there seem to leave weights on equipment, quite annoying as it gives no sign of them being finished with it.

I have major issues at my gym as well but some of the female members at my gym seem to leave the weights on the equipment it can be very annoying at times.

[drizzt]

Leaving weights on equipment has always been a source of major annoyance for me :evil: You can see a trail of where some people have been by where the weights are still out :roll:

It's happened at every gym I've ever been in though, so I guess it's nothing new. I've never said anything to people who do it, but I do make sure I'm really obvious about putting my weights away if I'm next to them

[GHOSTN]

i hate people that sit on a machine for 20-30min like they are having a holiday. I dont have to much patience i just walk up "how many sets have you got left" and stand there and watch them. They get there move on pretty quick. Im a bit of a prick like that but ah well haha

[Milkey]

Thats not being a prick Ghostin. Pricks are the ones hogging the benches/station etc.

I like going up to the chest/biceps trackpants wearing musclebound gorillas and asking them if I can work in between their sets. Then use their 1 rep max weights to warm up with :pfft:

Lmao, dude, just go in there and forget about anyone esle. Of course, dont be rude etc but you fucking worry too much.

How can you focus on your training if you are constantly worrying about other people in the gym? You have gym paranoia....a bit like this:

"and I'm laying there.........doing my 6th rep of my bench press, and it hits me..........some dude is watching me next to me.....I panic...shit...am I doing it right...hes way bigger than me, well defined, full of muscle,.......god, my shorts are so fucking tight my nuts hurt.....ok.....finish this rep, and go onto the next....I lift the bar above me, sweat running into my mouth, and I'm struggling like a floppy dick trying to poke an ass, and f*ck, i hear this rip, shit.....my shorts burst open and one of my balls flops out......i become horrificly stuck in mid lift with this fucking bar with 60 kg either side, i cant move......what do i fucking do......im now making noises like jabba the hut getting raped, fuuuuck im losing strength.......i cant hold it much longer....i let out a desperate yell for help...2 guys come to my rescue......i sit the f*ck up, my ball hanging out, and the whole gym is looking at me, several people laughing...........i stagger to my gym bag by the entrance in horror and shame, weak at the knees, i make it to my bag, i drag it to the changing rooms and sit the f*ck down. Oh my god, i see my hair in the mirror, its a mess, i wish i had a comb, god damn it why didnt i bring my Shirley Temptress designer hairbrush, oh god, you idiot, why did u forget again."

On the note of gym-paranoia, I attended a course recently and one of the things that stuck is that something like 90% of people at any given time are worried about what other people are thinking of them. Which means that practically everyone in the bus or on the street are just as concerned about what you think of them as you are about what they think of you!

Point: Everybody else is too busy worrying about what you think of them to pay too much attention to you, so just relax

oh god, long sentences >.<

Some guys in the gym last night thought it was a great laugh to take turns hanging upside down from the bar on the smith machine during the break between sets. They weren't using the smith machine I might add. They went over to it between sets to hang. Also worth mentioning that they were wearing jeans and skate shoes. Sigh.

[musclenz]

Best to not pay too much attention to those around you. If you are totally focused on your workout then you find that you become oblivious to things happening around you. As far as getting your share of the equipment, I have always found it beneficial to have a training partner that is the biggest bad ass in the gym & they do all the dirty work to clear away competitors for gear for you :grin:
