1st day at the gym huh???

Things I notice at the gym and say to my this guy has no clue..

Triceps pulldowns at my gym 2 crossovermachines and pull downs on the ends. Guys will hit the middle crossover cables and do triceps on them and I will be facing them on the other side on the end. The crossover cable has 2 pulleys = less weight being pushed due to leverage etc. I'm doing the 1 pulley cables on the ends. This in itself doesn't bother me, what bothers me is that they look at me as they push down more weight than me not having any idea they problably wouldn't do one rep with the weight I have and they start acting cocky and flexing.. ARGH!! oh well..

Leg presses/squats You know these guys they put on about 10 wheels on each side and go through about 10% range of motion while moaning at the top of their lungs and they high 5 when they get done...

deadlifts.. there's only one platform in my gym, and usually the same guy with 2 25's on the bar running it down his shins, rounding his back and tells the girl hes working out with how to do it (shes hot too!) damn!!!!

Or the really heavy guys that wont touch any cardio equipment but go and do heavy chest and back.. guy try and lose some fat, do you remember what your dick looks like??

And you got to love this, the european guy who doesn't use any deoderant and goes around and follows you bench to bench and just stinks up the place.. or the protein drinking farters who go to where you are and leave mark their territory KILL THEM ALL!!

oh well just venting.. I think when we see this random acts of stupidty we should let our voices be heard! I gotta pay and share this space with you so shape up light weight!!!!

HAHAHA.. . where's them cheque drops..
 
word... few things i dislike more than those who do way more weight than they can handle, use terrible/no form, make a lot of noise, and then act like they've accomplished something when they're done...

case in point: some dude was doing barbell military press today and was arching his back sooooo much that it became much more of a bench press than a shoulder press... before that the same dude was doing lat pull downs with the time-honored momentum + leaning back technique... damn i love that shit...
 
I sometimes miss my days at the YMCA...

A good sign that its the guys first day at the gym, is placing the weights outwards on the bar, so that you can see the poundage. Of course, alot of gyms are using plates with two equal sides these days, so it doesn't happen much anymore.

Another sign that the guy is new is uneven benching. I always see highschool kids come in, and try and bench. One arm goes up the other lags by about a foot. If they didn't bother to put collars on (99.9% of the time), there is a good chance the weights will slide off. Thats what you get for jerking off with the same hand all the time.
 
The only thing I can vouch for is the smelly European/Middle Eastern guys. Sometimes their pits are hummin so bad that it will literally smell up an entire section of the gym. Most of the other stuff doesnt bother me. I really dont care what guys are doing in the gym, as long as it doesnt effect my workout.

I'd agree with you generally... but there are definitely those who become a distraction with the amount of noise they make or if they are in close enough proximity to where you are working out at the time...

Hey I do that.........and I've been going to the gym forever.

A better sign that you ar a newbie is that you are looking around at other people looking to pick holes in what they are doing.....:D

A sign that you have trained a while is that you don't give a shit about such things as which way around people put the plates on the bar......you are too busy training.

I'm European......gggggrrrrr. Don't you think that your comment is just a little too general? Its a bit like saying that all americans are fat, vain and loud.......and they don't train hard because they are too worried about being smelly when they leave.
