today while i was doing side bends infront of the mirrors and some fob behind me doing some preacher curls comes up to me while im doing my set, leans on me and says "how come you come in my way when im working out"

i dont even bother, i just look at him and move out of the way because i wanted to get his digusting stench of me...yes, hes that smelly guy in the gym!

whats wrong with 'fob?'? it could be a fob of any sort of race...i was clearly implying that he could not speak english properly. i wasnt trying to offend anyone.

not when your there training first and hes five meters behind you expecting you to realise your in his way. why dont i also move out of the way for the guy on the other side of the gym posing his 12" arms?

Come on you moved cause you were a little intimidated :pfft:

I have started going to this new gym and there are 3 guys that come in every evening and assert their manly ways in the loudest and most aggressive manner. It's awesome. Lots of grunting, shouting and slapping of backs (Its not a hardcore gym, it's not even that good).

Anyway I saw them the other day doing Donkey Calf Raises? on a Smiths machine. One of the guys bent over whilst the other two basically jumped on him and started to hump his back in the most vigious manner. 3 massive guys all getting very comfortable with each other. I thought about trying to film it but I would have been killed for that.

It was quite powerful to watch. Very Brokeback.

haha, i too have seen this phenomenon unfold in my gym - it must be a new mating ritual

[lazyeye]

knob heads throwing weights

your 5RM is as difficult to me as my 5RM as to the skinny asian guys 5RM

if i can lower it to the floor with my weak ass arms, then you can too.....its all relative ...not absolute

something the meatheads cant understand

You don't reach absolute failure with heavy weights very often do you

Most of them need to train legs. :grin:

You speak for yourself :pfft:

I tend to think more about "please don't let me get stapled under the bar AGAIN!"

@PD I used to think "It's your workout, you put the weights back!" until I truly reached failure..... now I'm with you, there ARE times when you simply can't unload the bar.

Alternatively, to those folks who grizzle when I leave 440kg on the leg press "If you can wait until I stop seeing stars, THEN I'll unload it. If it's so dam urgent that you can't wait 'til then to do your little 160kg reps, YOU unload it :grin:"

[PeterDolan]

Hell yeah TFB! No problem you get to the end of your final set of DB press, the weights will be making tremors, the leg press will be unloaded in due time, some where between setting up my next exercise and stretching

[teamfatboy]

Just another of my peeves from when I was doing the Sheiko Squat/ Bench/ Squat..

One evening I finish the first batch of squats, I dutifully unload the bar and put the plates on the horns attached to the side of the squat rack ('cos I'll be back in a bit after bench for more squats). Fair enough, I think and walk away to go do some bench.

As I leave I get some twerp telling me to return the plates to "their proper place".... :shrug:

An associate of mine is known by alot of the personal trainers that oversee the gym and on Monday when it turned 9 we had to get out then he goes "This gym finishes when I say it finishes!" she kinda laughed it off cause he's a regular....

Tuesday it turns 9 and im in the gym by myself and a lady tells me to get out, "This gym finishes when I say it Finishes!" :doh: I got a meaaan telling off and am on a warning sucks too because it wasnt the same personal trainer she wanted to slap the shit out of me.

I reckon when your training hardout with hardcore intensity..peeps leave you alone...they take a look at you, take a look at the weights you are pushing or whatever style or form of training you are doing and shit you not..a lot of them actually get initmidated by your workout intensity and keep away, unless they know you personally they will come up for a yarn at the right time in between your sets but not so long as to interrupt your training. The thing about the gym I train at is that we all know each other, and being a small gym, me and a few of the guys and gals here always make a effort to introduce ourselves to new members just to make them feel at home. No Arseholes in my gym, we look after and compliment each other. 8)

People see me train and think "this guy knows what he's doing, I'm gonna go annoy the fucking shit out of him by asking 21 questions and even ask for a spot!"

I've got no problem giving spots to my good mates but I tell them that if they want a spot, get a training partner, if you don't want a training partner, don't lift as heavy. One day I had just finished my final set of squats, was absolutely fucked, and a guy came over and asked for a spot, I said no cause I was too tired and he turned around and called me a "roided up little wanker" haha my reply was "yeah but your wife thinks about me when you're fucking and not your fat ass"

That's the fitness style type gyms though, wish we had a powerhouse in Kapiti
