Biggest peev in the weight room

Well here's mine. the six in bench presser or 6 inch squatter or the 6 in shoulder presser.
Man they make my blood boil.
Load the bar up with weight you cannot control or dream of lifting and lets see how much we can impress the other morons around us.
YOur not kidding anyone who trains properly you look like idiots.
 
We have 2 guys at the gym I could strangle........

One is very load and grunts and moans very loadly on every single fuckin rep. And he is just some average Joe thats probabbly been going down there for years and hasnt made the least bit gains.

The second guy is a shorter guy that has a good shape but he wears a bodybuilding string tank top, the biggest weight lifting gloves possible, and of all things a pair of sunglasses. He does 1/4 lifts and he had 405 on the smith machine and doing 3in to lockout shoulder presses. Then he goes straight to the decline bench and puts 325 on there and does 3in lifts on that as well. And leaves all the fuckin weights on the bar on everything he touches. The dude probably could do 225 in proper form.

Burns me up
 
I saw this guy a few weeks ago doing hammer strength rows and it looked like he was riding one of those kiddie rides they have out front of wal mart. Havent seen him since....

Saw this other guy about a month and a half ago, wearing 80's style striped workout pants, and a very loosely fitting cut t shirt. His pecs looked like ric flair's pecs and he loaded up the bench bar, slammin the plates on there and unracked and did 3 reps of 1 inch bench presses. I was laughin to myself but I seriously thought he was gonna hurt himself.....havent seen him since either....
 
They strut around head high in the air shoulders back, arms 14inches from the sides and walk with their legs 2 feet apart.
I have zero tolerance for people like that.
 
There's one guy in my gym that loads every 45 that will fit on the leg press machine, I'm guessing around 20 plates give or take two, and then does three or four sets of maybe 2 reps each with a ROM of about 3 inches. Then he struts off and leaves every damned plate on the machine. I never use a leg press, but it still pisses me off.
 
Some people are delusional indeed but eventually they'll start cycling anadrol with test and become real pricks.

Hey Cap, got another one for ya...dude next to me today I was doing deads and he was doing a form of cleans I've never seen before. From the start position he would hop while moving the weight. I myself dont do cleans but I've never seen anyone else hop like that. It was really distracting and I had to move on to something else. Kinda pissed me off!!!!!:biggrin:
 
Hahahahaa... this is awesome.. I hate all those people as well...

There is this ONE dude... he would dress up in his 2 tanks 3 tees, and one BIG ASS sweater... with HONESTLY like 5 - 6 gold chains... he'd BATHE in cologne, and step out into the weight room.. to this DAY I have YET to see him lift ANYTHING! He just stands there staring at people, and chattin' them up about the latest supplement, or training method... then after an hour or so... goes in... changes, and goes home! It's SOOOOO WEIRD! lol
 
Well Captainahole just thought I would stop by to wish you a very merry Christmas & a happy new year...all the best ...

from the guy @ the other gym LOL... Tim Horton's

sooner
 
Timmies is the SHIT... I heard they got a few of them in the states now... :D
 
The only peeve I really have is the horrible R&B music my gym plays. They will not change it either. I swear it's a form of reverse racism. My hearing is now shot from my iPhone being turned up full blast constantly. I need to relocate.
 
I don't care that much about other people's workout routines, only concerned about myself. With that being said I can't stand when people block the DB racks and do curls or shrugs in front of it, or put their legs up on it when they bench blocking me. Same goes for the Ez Curl rack.

When I am walking with heavy weight and people don't move for me.

Leaving weights on machines.

Puddles of sweat on the benches.

People that stand in front of the mirror while I am working out. I need to be able to see myself otherwise it messes my concentration up.

I hate the Gold's Gym Music network so much that English doesn't contain the words. I get catering to the taste of the majority, but after about 9:30 p.m., the majority doesn't give two shits for Rhianna or Justin Timberlake.

One glorious night, the night guy commandeered the music system in the aerobics room and blasted Sabbath for at least the whole time I was there. He was subsequently reprimanded, and Justin was back the next night.
 
Yeah golds has some shitty music on which is why i bring my ipod where ever i go. Only thing i get pissed about is when people are taking there time using something im waiting for because 9 times out of 10 its some schmuck that just shows up and does a few things so he can tell himself he goes to the gym and holds up people who are actually training for a purpose.
 
Dude, I tend to not care when people do things to make themselves look like idiots, but when they do things that affect my workout it can be infuriating.

The worst thing I can possibly think of is just people that use the Rack, and the fucking oly bar for bicep curls. Or anything else retarded.

And it's even worse if you go up to them and ask them if you can use the Squat rack for squats. And they say, "Yea I just have a couple more sets of bicep curls here and you can have it after that."

WHY DO THEY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN'T REST THE F-iNG BAR ON THE GROUND???

The worst part is these are the guys that are loading way too much weight on the bar and are attempting some sort of "powercurl". And it's too much weight for them to pick up off the ground without hurting themselves. It's just simply the most retarded thing you can do in the gym.
 
Oh I have a new one. Fucking cell phones in the gym. Little pecker heads yesterday holding up the bench cause they were texting a friend. I blew a gasket and everyone heard it. I don't think it will be a problem anytime soon again.
 
At the LA Fitness I frequent in a very well known town in the Florida metropolitan area, there is a ton of bullshit that goes down. I'm not at liberty to discuss it all, but I will name some of the sins:

1. At my gym, the high school kids will play basketball in the court and usually not work out. This is not a tragedy, however after they shit all over the court, they bring their crap into the weight room. These fucking kids will horse around, roll around balls whilst people are working out, and yell bullshit for no reason.

2. There are way too many bros. I know that EF has many bros, but nobody in EF can match the brodom that my gym has. There is a bro code at my gym, I think I have come close to cracking it. These bros will spot each other on their curl sets, when they do their situps with the weighted ball and when they try to bench 225 for one rep, oftentimes yelling COME ON!!! PUSH!!!!. It is usually painfully obvious that the participant in the whole charade is not up to par physically in order to complete the task. These brosefinoids will talk about cool supplements like Superdrol NG and when asked about what their PCT protocol is, they will tell you that they bought a supplement called 'PCT'.

3. All the trainers at LA Fitness teach their complacent soccer moms and out of shape weekend warrior dads the P90X system. I blew your secret LA, oops.

4. I know most mainstream gyms play garbage, but my gym in particular must be hooked into the top 20 pop charts 24/7. I never hear anything remotely close to "good".

5. I get mean looks when I fail a difficult lift like a clean and jerk or a deadlift, but when the brosefinoids cant curl, they get encouragement to try again. Fuck them.

Im in La fitness as well. I am looking else where...The same crap applies..The high school kids arent as bad in my location though.

Im only dling 330lbs for sets of 5 reps....the entire weight room people move away from me and stare. I am the only person who dl's in the gym. There used to be 2 or three but they were the wrist strap/all lower back dl's. Havnt seen them in a while.

Im still hung up on the people doing barbell curls in the squat racks. they are using the olympic bb to do 90lbs.....the annoying thing is not even 7 feet away from the squat racks are two sets of preweighted barbels that go to 110lbs....but they insist on using the squat rack to curl.....i just dont get it.

There was one guy squating..he was going for 225lbs. no collars....as he was doing half squats, he was locking out so hard the weight was bouncing on his back. he didnt realize the 45lbs plate was about 2 inches from falling off the bar...i ran over and pushed it back on..He racked the weight and gave me a dirty look. he didnt do 225 lbs anymore.lol

I've had this happen to me more times than I can count, so I just don't help people anymore unless they explicitly ask me to.
I'm moving to Gold's Gym soon. I know it's still bad, but I bet it's atleast 10x better than LA.

Yes i learned my lesson this time...no more...
 
My peev has more to do with the cardio room than with weight lifting because with my Ipod in I can usually tune out everything. When I jump on a eliptical or treadmill and their are 8 other ones open, why does the old man have to come on the one right next to me. He is 12 inches away trying to stair at my computer screen to see what I'm doing. Then he tries to compete by going quicker even though I'm at a fat burning pace. Does he not realize his machine is whipping around because he has his machine is at a 2 and mine is at 12 for intensity?
 
Has anybody else noticed a huge in flux of clueless retards into their gym since it became January again? - God I fucking hate January and the weekend warriors who seem intent on taking up perfectly good space that I could be using to put my water bottle in. - Role on March when they have all fucked off back to their sofas.

- rant over.

No shit man. I hate January at the gym. My sister goes to 24 Hour Fitness, and I got to the Gold's across the street. We were discussing this same thing today.

Since I live in Austin, which is pretty much just one big college town, the two weeks in late Feb/early March before spring break and the last week in July/first couple of weeks in August are almost as bad. There are so many morons that think hitting a cycle and doing curls and bench for two weeks will get them ripped in time for the beach or the first frat party that it is astounding. I'm still waiting for the day one of the overheats on the ab machine and bursts into flames.

Haha, I do that one all the time, not to compete, just to piss people off a little, like when you do the same thing at the movies.

I hate the texters. How hard could you be focusing if you're doing other crap between sets?

There's also this one new guy. He gets on a cardio machine, like the treadmill, turns it up so much you can hear the maching struggling, then hangs himself over the belt by the handrails and kicks his feet, as if to convince us he's running 20mph. Plus I just hate people who do that in general on the stairmasters.
 
I thought that the 1 gallon milk jug water bottles were out of style these days? Wrong!!! I saw a dude with one last night. Not really a peeve....just sayin

How hard are you focusing if your watching some prick texting on his cell phone?
 
I really hate those fucking guys who don't stop bragging about how good they are and do it in such way so every hears them, yeah this one includes the loud grunters and social trainees too... one of those came to me and asked me how it felt doing squats to the ground, why I did them and if I ever had knee problems, I told him if you are afraid of knee injuries don't do them.

Those dudes who go to the gym with their cell phones and sit on the benches that I actually need to workout, it's hard to focus with these punks in your way LITERALLY. And those who don't agree with this and post it are among these peevs...
 
Not training from 5 till 8pm has solved 90% of my problems with other trainees. Those are the crowded hours. The more people in the gym, the more retards fucking you over.
 
~Grunters and screamers
~Spandex pants
~Socializing on the equipment. If you want to talk, please move the fuck out of the way
~Walking 1" from the bar or DB while I'm lifting. Freaks me out, walk around
~People who stare at you while waiting for the equipment but don't ask how many sets you have left or if they can work in. They just stare
 
When I do heavy DBs and I mean like 140 and 150s and have some skinny ass mf set up shop next to me on another bench that if I let the weights go is going to land on his stupid ass legs or something....move the fuck away. Better yet just fuck in watch form a distance and after I finish then use the bench...fuck in retards!!
 
i basically hate everything anyone does around me when i workout.

like if i have to walk around someone on the way to the water fountain, i just wanna shove them over.

or if someone stands in front of me while im working out using the mirror to check form, i want to throw the weight at their head.

one guy pushed a bench over right into my benches personal space to get it out of the way of his..

so its like his bench, a fuckin seated bench for shoulders, that he just pushes toward my bench while im waiting between sets and he starts working out..i take one look at his pencil neck and shove it super hard into his bench. he got the hint
 
+1 on leaving weights on the machines / bars
+1 on cell phones holding up your workout

There's a guy at my gym in his 60's that wears a wrestling singlet and works out. Something close to the muscle heads on Family Guy they always show.

There's another guy that after every set he runs around the room back to his area and does another set and repeat for his whole routine. There comes a time when you're walking to work on another muscle group and he comes running right past you like you're in his way even though there's no running track anywhere.
 
The guy who has all the props but doesnt lift any weight. EX. construction boots, gloves, pulling straps, wrist staps, belt, knee wraps.

he is usually in the squat rack shrugging the 95lbs barbell. or curling in the squat rack using all lowerback.lol

Im sure you have seen him..oh i forgot..He also has the super potent power drink.lol

My biggest pet peeve is: Someone making fun of someone in the gym for poor techniques. Especially younger guys or Brand new folks. I think the same thing of most of you guys. "What in the hell was that guy doing?" or "This woman comes into the gym and hits every single machine every single day."

They are in there to better themselves. More than likely can not afford a trainer to educate them. I let them know am not going to train them and I would not recommend anyone a PT from my gym; bunch of Mickey Mouse's and Goofy's. But 90% of them have ZERO clue. Why not point them in the right direction and encourage them. Internet sites to educate them on form, diets, etc. There are a few sites that are beginner friendly. Saves them time from lack of progress and helps keep them motivated.

This opens up a major concern for MOST: NOW they think they can bother you whenever they want.

You can weed out the ones that are there for the social club meeting and the ones that genuinely looking to learn and take it serious. These are some of the folks I do not mind talking to.
 
Kids that don't use collars with ridiculous weight they can't lift.

People that just create lifts that are pointless and work nothing.

3in squatting.

People that always smell like B.O. (lysol your gym bag once a week wtf)


Retarded fat or skinny people that offer hot chics advice when they know absolutely nothing about lifting technique,training, or diet.
 
doing barbell curls on the squat rack...

Unless you're goin to curl 405 lbs, move the fuck over!
 
FunFun said:
I know it's a little off topic, but what's more impressive. Strict 200 lbs curls or 405 lb squats? I'd go with the curls.
Click to expand...

Ahmmm... I think someone who can do strict curls with 200lbs can easily 405lbs unless it has real bad knees.

I never thought i would live to see this but yesterday I had this problem with a punk ipod ass who was doing bitch ass curls when I wanted to do squats, I was about to start a war. Luckily we have to two squat racks.

AH HA HA HA is that what they are thinking while i tie up one of the racks. i do straight and olympic curls there back to bach then a fascea stretch and im only using 155 at the heaviest with good form though.
 
i cant stand when new members join and feal the need to stare at you the whole time your there, ask a billion questions on your way out and completely waiste your time because they refuse to do what it takes to grow. they train like a mother fucker but eat like a 4 year old.
 
OK I don't even know how to begin explaining this one because it is so over-the-top!!!!!

I actually saw a guy doing dumbbell curls ANSWER his cell phone MIDWAY through a set!! Basically he put one dumbbell down momentarily to answer the phone while still continuing with the other. He then placed the phone on his shoulder, and tilted his head tight against it to hold it in place. He picked up the other dumbbell and continued his "set" and conversation with his head tilted holding the phone............ I thought I was seeing things. I cannot really call this a pet peeve because of the sheer entertainment value it provided. This was something Mr. Bean would do!!!

My true pet peeve would also have to be the music played in my gym. It is DOWNRIGHT HORRIBLE.

After New Years all the people that make resoulutions that they aren't going to be fat anymore. This doesn't necessarily bother me because the crowd of newbs usually contains a gang of hotties. What bothers me is how crowded the gym gets and there is usually a mob wanting to use the same piece of equipment as me. They'll be gone in a month though and they're trying to better themselves so whateveer.
 
People ( shitheads) who stare around at everyone like there the hottest shit in the gym yet I see them doing curls on a max rack smith machine that goes vertical and horizontal on the axis. Thats more bitch then using just a power rack itself to do curls!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe that at the where I workout they threw away the squat rack and placed one of those max racks and so we were left with that and a crappy smith machine. WTF
 
does anybody have a singer in thier gym?

this one dude listens to his ipod and sings out LOUD to crap like CREED while lifting...not to mention his singing ranks up there with william hung from american idol.
 
I had 2 guys curling in the only power rack for over 30 min on Monday. It was my shoulder day.
 
there's a funny guy, which wears a tank top and headphones from the 80s and sings out loud hip-hop while working out, doesn't really bother me I just find him funny.
 
PEOPLE, WHO GIVE ADVICE ABOUT LIFTING. WITHOUT EVEN SAYING WHO THERE ARE AND HOW THEY GAINED THIS VAST KNOWLEDGE ABOUT LIFTING.:chomp::chomp:THEY USUALLY DON'T GIVE ADVICE AFTER QUESTIONS ARE ASKED.:mad::mad:
 
the a-holes, that replace or removw weights from the bench press rear or side excess holders while you are doing a set. A-holes cannot wait till you are finished with your set????????
 
little kids that come into the gym, put 135 on the bench and bounce it off their chests like a trampoline. We has this one kid from a local high school come in and do that. There were 3 or 4 of us that actually stopped our workout because we thought the kid was going to crack his ribs. I was across the gym with 1 head phone on and heard the thuds coming from his chest!
 
There's this one guy in our gym everyone call "The grunter" because he grunts so loudly on every rep of every set despite the fact he's not using much weight. Not only that, he supersets about 5 or more pieces of equipment at the same time so he's on everything and therefore gets in everyone's way.

This is in Thailand where people have a very relaxed attitude to everything, but I'm sure he wouldn't last long in US gyms.
