Things that crack me up at the gym.

[The Sauce]

Oh I spend half the day laughing at other people. Makes the time go by.

What use to crack me up at the previous gym I belonged to is when there'd be a good looking gal with a nice rack on a cardio machine all the older guys use to get in a group and ogle her. It got so bad that they moved the cardio equipment in different places so the "View' wouldn't be so bouncy. They were never able to achieve that ..which is good:laugh:

There's plenty of stunner's at my gym, I do however prefer the ones that are not afraid of a proper work out and not think they are gods gift just turning up. 😉

Cracks me up when people spend time worrying about others' inadequacies and don't take time to address their own.

People who use the power rack, or power cage for BB curls leads my "death wish" list...

still better than sitting in front of a tv with a Big Mac wedged between thier moobs and belly. however, I think the funniest things are the guys that do one set, check themselves out in front of a mirror, strut around the gym and then on to the next lift.

This is my single biggest pet peeve. Usually it's a team of guys who go. They load up one bar with a good amount of weight, do one rep, then stare at themselves in the mirror, flex, walk around, talk, then the next guy does his one rep and they repeat the procedure.

Flexing and staring in the mirror aside, some people do low-rep/max training, and when you do that, you rest a lot in between. You'd hate my gym if this bothers you...granted it has no mirrors, people will do one rep, and sit around for upwards of 10 minutes before doing another.

Way to ignore half the post.

"I hate my neighbour. He goes to 7-11 for a slurpee, comes home, beats his wife, beats his dog, all in front of my kids."

"The beating aside, you'd hate my neighbour too. Guy's good for a slurpee a week."

Who the fuck cares what they do between reps? My point is that its a very legitimate form of training, and you are incorrect if you think otherwise - and if you get that upset about someone looking in the mirror in a room that's covered in mirrors....uh, you're in the wrong place.

Who said I was upset? I said it was a pet peeve. In a joke thread. About old dudes blow drying their sacks. Jeez, get the stick out of your ass.

Originally posted by: DeekoNothing 'cracks me up' though. I do not consider myself to be that superior that I look down my nose and laugh at others in the gym.

...yet you're superior enough with your zen in the gym to be able to come to AT and look down your nose at all of us posting funny stories in a joke thread for shits and giggles. Virtually every single "complaint" in this thread has had a reply by someone else saying it doesn't really bother them that much, but you're the only one spouting attitude.

Actually I'm not. Re-read and try again. Multiple other people have posted similarly to what I have. Too busy being upset at people looking at themselves in the mirror to learn 3rd grade reading comprehension?

And yea - I'm that comfortable with my 'zen in the gym' that I know that everyone has different goals, everyone has different experiences, everyone is at different wavelengths. Its not my place or yours to judge. Try to retract it and call it a "joke thread" if you wish, sure is convenient when you've been shot down, eh?

I'm going to agree with those who said they get irked by the weight non-re-rackers. Personal pet peeve of mine, definitely. Especially if the person went and loaded a squat bar or the leg press with like 600 lbs.

It's getting to the point where we feel the need to put on a bathing suit just to walk to the shower. Locker rooms are traditionally places where people can walk around being nude. That is the culture these older guys grew up in. Just because we are getting more insecure as a society doesn't mean they have to change. And should you really be looking that closely?

No doubt. It's not like I haven't seen balls before. The homophobia is strong with this thread.

My personal shit list is pretty short - people who don't unrack the weights or don't replace their dumbbells when they're done.

I never use the cardio machines as I bike to my gym to warmup, so the "Cosmo cardio" crowd doesn't really get to me. I just laugh to myself and carry on.

Come to think of it, now that I work out in the mornings as opposed to after work, I notice a lot fewer infractions and I generally have more space to work out.

Are 2 stupid or just plain retarded, love how you just like to throw out the homophobia charge cause we don't like seein another mans junk. It's called common courtesy, I don't care if a man in the locker room is naked while he is changing, it's when he is walking around carrying on conversations with you is the problem I have. I have a problem having to walk in a locker room staring at the ceiling just to get to my locker. I'm glad you 2 don't mind the sight of another man's balls, but the majority of us don't. And women also complain about the same thing also FYI(but I guess they are just homophobes too)
