WTF do you care? Man when I go to the gym I concentrate on my workout. I don't have the time to worry about how somebody else works out or what part of the body they work on.

 

[Saulbadguy]

Oh, I can't stand people who stand in front of the free weight rack and socialize.

 

[silverpig]

I hate the guys who go there, put a ton of weight on a machine, strain themselves for 2 reps, put the weight down, then go stare at themselves in the mirror... flex, turn, flex... bs with their loser friends... flex, go do 2 more reps, flex, turn, bs, flex... 30 minutes has gone by and they're "still using the machine/weights" but they've only done 4 reps.

- Clowns that take twenty minute showers. Hey, buttdart, this ain't your momma's house. Get your ass in and OUT of the damn shower.
- Clowns that stand two feet away from a fan blocking anyone else from enjoying the cooling effect. Hey, buttdart, you're not the only person in here. Besides, you aren't doing sh!t anyway, you don't NEED the damn fan.
- Men. Blow Dryers. 'Nuff said.
- Clowns that turn a locker room into a 'cambodian experience' by using all of the damn hot water during their twenty minute shower... and them making jokes about the 'lack of hot water'...
- You just DON'T bring a cup of coffee to workout. You just don't. Ditto that with a newspaper. I don't give a crap that you're reading it during your 'interval' ... You look like a tard. Tard.
- Clowns that complain about the radio station that's playing. Oh, these clowns only show up once a week, if that. Sorry, you don't count. Non-showing-up Tard.
- Clowns that use weight that is way too heavy for them and use their body weight to 'swing' it. Look, tard, just get out.
- Clowns that blow through their reps way way too fast. You're supposed to be able to feel it, that's kind of the damn point. Tard.
- Clowns that claim you have to do machines in a certain order. Look. Just.... don't. Tard.
- Clowns that can actually hold a conversation and speak fluently DURING their reps. No.
- Clowns that look like Rick Moranis giving lifting advice about getting bigger. Look, I'm not going to a homeless guy for financial advice, WTF do you think YOU'RE qualified for what you're saying??? You're a skinny-no-muscle-having-not-big-at-all-Tard.
- Clowns. Just clowns.
- And Tards.

Clowns that worry to much about what others are doing at the Gym.

:laugh:

LOL... pwned...

You need to find a new gym! We got suckered into a Bally's contract based on seeing the gym during an off-peak time. When I went there after work, it was so incredibly packed in the weight area that I could NOT work out. I'll never sign up with a gym without doing a thorough investigation first.

Or, try going at weird hours. Fortunately my job allows me to take time off during work to go to the gym (job requirement: military) so I can usually avoid the crowds. I either go during the day or later at night (7-9pm).

 

[amish]

i really hate, and i mean hate, all those fvcks that check out my fiancee while we work out. an occasional glance is fine, but strait out staring or moving to get a better look just pisses me off.

there are also the people that bring in a bag, jacket, towel, headset, and all this other crap into the weightroom just to leave it at one station; then start doing something else at the other end. jesus, bring your sh!t with you or don't get pissed when i move it to do my workout.

i workout at a place where you are supposed to sign up for cardio machines if you want to do them. so tell me, why is it so hard to follow the rules and sign up? then they have the balls to get pissed at me because i want to workout for the time i signed up.

my funniest peeve is the assclowns in the parking lot. they come in their super expensive suv or sports car thinking that they are god's gift to the world and park like a complete jackass. some dumb b!tch parked three feet over the front yellow line and gets pissed at us because we "parked too close." i told her "big deal we didn't hit you, were NOT moving." she goes on a rant trying to get us to move back from her car until i stop her and say "look, do you see this line right here? you are parked almost three feet over it, you are in our space, we are not moving." thoughly pissed she leaves.

So a lot of Japanese work on with weights?

Huh. I don't know anyone like that. I'M certainly not 'worried' about them. They piss me off, that's all. That's what this thread is about, that's why I posted.

I suppose it could be worse, I could be some kind of elitist internet f@#ktard, who's never stepped foot into a gym posting stoopid sh!t in threads to increase my post count because I know that my 'internet penis' increases in size with my status in online forums.

Now THAT would be teh suck. I would probably decide to swallow 117 grains of 9mm goodness and do the world a favor. It's already obvious that I'd never spread my seed, so luckily I don't have to worry about further polluting the gene pool. Whew, the world dodged THAT bullet.

Tard.

It takes me near 20 min. to use it. I start my leg day with 2 warmup sets, and 4-5 working sets. I take at least 2-3 minutes between my working sets, and about 1-2 minutes between the warmup sets.

That totalls close to 20min.

But... I know what you mean. I hate waiting for a machine when someone is on it for a long time. Good thing my gym is huge and has 6 leg press machines (3 at one angle, 3 at another), not including the Cybex cable machines.



The person I dislike the most at the gym, is the guy who stands in the locker room, completely naked, talking to you or someone else, with his leg up on the bench. COME ON DUDE! Put a freakin towel on! This isn't the 1920s...

I was doing community service once and scrubbing down lockers at a gym. This old guy about 50 comes up to me and goes you're doin a great job...except he's completely naked and just talks to me like nothings up. Made me want to jump off buildings...

 

[ABitTooSpicy]

My peeves at the GYM:
1) The dudes that don't know what deodorant means...
2) The dudes that walk around buck ass naked in the gym, for way too long...

hmmmm besides that, once I watched a big ass dude do Incline Bench Press with weights that were way too heavy for him... his friends had to help him even get ready to do the sets, he did about 3 reps, and then swung his arms down and dropped the weights on the floor, he dropped them so hard that one of them bent... it was about 180lbs in each hand... The weights are rarely used but its still messed up, especially when he procceded to do the same thing with the 175lbs and bent one of them as well... Slick, real slick...

You could but I guess you'll have to be satisfied with just being a fool going around calling others "Tards" and talking about "Internet Penises"

 

[Rent]

My biggest pet peeve happens when I'm in the middle of running on the treadmill and someone decides they want to have a conversation with me (mind you I'm listening to my MP3 player).

 

[Amused]

Gray haired biker types who brag about their hot fiances and trips to Yosemite.

Seriously, people who don't rack their weights and/or rack them in the wrong place/order are my biggest pet peeve.

1: Always wipe down the equipment after you use it.

2: Be polite and allow people to work-in on a machine or bench you're using during busy times.

3: Don't fill your water bottle at the drinking fountain while people line up behind you waiting for a drink.

4: ALWAYS un-load your free weights from bars and machines when you're done using them AND put them back IN ORDER. Never assume the next person will want those 45lb weights on the bar. The same goes for dumbells: Put them back and back in the proper order. The same also applies to cable accessories. Don't just leave them on the floor when you change them.

5: Don't drop or throw down your dumbells when you are done working with them. It doesn't make you look any tougher, and it breaks the equipment. Nothing pisses me off more than to come in and find that the dumbell weight I need is busted because some idiot droped them.

6: Obese people working out at the gym have more courage than you ever will. They don't need you staring at them and making jokes. They need your encouragement and approval for their willingness to make a positive change.

7: Yes, she's hot and she's beautiful... But staring at her is just bad taste. Let the good looking women work out in peace.

8: Grunting like an amplified african rhino when doing your reps is impressing no one, but it sure is annoying.

if i cant fill my water bottle from the fountain where shall I fill it then? Can you not wait a minute or find another fountain?

if a hot girl goes to the gym and doesnt want ppl to stare why must they wear hot outfits and have make up on? sure sometimes staring can become creepy when you do not make an effort to also communicate with words.

You can fill it when no one is waiting. Or if you are filling it and someone comes up behind you, step aside and allow them to take a drink.

As for the girl issue, how would you feel if someone was constantly staring at you while you tried to work out?

 

[JulesMaximus]

People who drop large heavy weights to draw attention to themselves.

Also, people who don't wipe off the machines after they sweat all over them. That's disgusting. I don't want your sweat on my towel and I certainly don't want it on my clothes. D!ckwad.

go ahead, stare at the hot women, just not the one i'm with. my fiancee doesn't go in there wearing hot outfits. she wears something comfortable like yoga pants and a t-shirt.

I'm not sure i would let it bother me at first.....if it cointinued long enough I'd talk to them and ask if there was a problem or if it was a chick i'd stare back and mouth something along the lines of "wanna fvck?"

I can fill the water bottle when its my turn....I dont think your need for water supercedes my own...I waited in line and you can too.

The worst I've seen at the gym is this naked guy using the blow dryer to dry his crotch hair. Dude, WTF?!

I can beat that story...no pun intended. I was in the steam room years ago and happened to be by myself and some asshat comes in, takes his towel off and starts BEATING OFF. :Q I grabbed my towel and quickly left the room. What kind of freak does something like this??? :Q

 

[DrPizza]

My pet peeve is: morons who sit in the window at the gym riding exercise bikes and walking on treadmills when the weather is beautiful outside. C'mon. Go for a real walk and use the gym when it's not nice outside. But, if you ask them, they always have a good reason: "the bike machines have programs and video on them that make them far superior to the real thing." So, I wonder... do real athletes who ride in the tour-de-france etc. do all their training on an exercise bike? Or do they do the real thing?

The problem is it takes you minutes to fill that bottle and me a second to take a drink. It's annoying and rude. Be polite and step aside to let someone take a drink. The reason most lines form in the first place is because someone is filling a bottle. Otherwise people wouldn't be drinking long enough for a line to form.
