Does the following piss you off.....

135.

I had that next to me a while back and one of them asked the others why they weren't going to do warm ups first. One of the guys started pumping out 3" squats while the other two counted them out for him.

I think that's where we might just have the edge over the Americans: our idiots aren't smart enough to handle rap language lessons and do supersets alone. Our idiots would need to compete in team gym lunacy events. My favourite is team bench where two spotters heft the bar at each end while one other spotter stands in the middle and hurls abuse at the guy lying down whose sole purpose is to hang onto the bar to add resistance while striving to dodge the drool of the center abuse-hurler. When the set is over the spotters usually rub their sore muscles while the bencher knocks out, typically, a double-biceps or most muscular to cries of "Oh, yes!" and a general refrain of "good set".

I'm fortunate. Working out at 4:45 am tends to get rid of the BS group. I do get many looks when doing dl's.
One of the other things I hate is watching some one do an exercise completely wrong. I stand there saying to myself "he's gonna hurt himself". Then seeing that he's just another pretty boy, screw him. Let him hurt himself. Then he won't be at the gym taking up space

nothing pisses me off.. except people walking in front of me when I'm lifting, or standing way the fuck too close when I'm doing something. That and little fruity guys who stare at my ass when I'm squatting (curse those booty shorts)

The Smith Machine is the biggest, most useless piece of junk I ever came across. But your right, if it keeps the squat rack free, I'm happy to have one in the gym!

On that note this would qualify the smith machine as one of the best machines ever. I'm free to use the rack whenever I need it.....everyday.

You are a member of a 24-hour gym? If you are, then you are one lucky individual to have one at your disposal

1. When you are one of the strongest MoFo's in your gym, yet all the guys who can't lift for shit are way more jacked than you are.


2. When you do the best exercises there are like Deadlifts, Squats, Cleans, yet everyone looks at you like you've 2 heads.

3. When you see a group of Bros using crap technique on the squat and Bench, yet under the bizarre influence that they're doing it right and actually getting soem benefit from their "training".

Proper raw weightlifting sure as hell is a minority sport and people who like me who value strength over everything else are a dying breed.

Imagine if Posing in front of a mirror, grunting out a few half reps, and pumping yourself with Androgen was an Olympic Sport, Britain would fucking destroy any of your boys countries and take home all the gold medals!!!!

to be honest those things dont efefct me. there are so many people who are stronger and bigger than me, and sometimes i wanan point and make excuses or pull the fairness card, but when i tcomes down to it i dont really care and it isnt important to me. im competing with myself when i lift and do it for myself cause i love it, not because of girls, guys, or money

Basically yeah, while your idiots are having afternoon tea - our guys are hard at work looking for ever more stupid ways to mangle themselves in the weightroom or giving out advice in order to train a whole new generation of idiots. Believe me, even if they aren't the most gifted, they work hard ever day to forge themselves into the paradigm of an idiot's idiot.

One day you'll see one of our 115lbs boys flexing hard in the mirror, grunting and drooling between supersets of tricept kickbacks and anus squeezes. He'll be talking incoherently in half-rap like he was born and raised in inner-city Harlem incongruous with his soft whitebread 'golfcourse' look. A bell will go off in your head and you'll realize, he's an American and his skill can't be questioned. Just thinking about it brings a patriotic tear to my eye.

ANUS SQUEEZE!!!!!! LMAO!!! Whats wrong with those? I do those to cool down.

The other day i was waiting 20 minutes for some dude doing curls in a rack. After his last set he took his shirt off and hit a most muscular pose. I would have laughed but i was too pissed off at that point.
Other than that i dont care too much about what other people are doing.....

Just stay the fuck outta my power rack.
