Dont Walk In Front Of Me While Im Lifting In Front Of The Mirror!!!!!

[punch]

Doing incline dbl curls at my gym in SOHO a few days ago this Personal trainer walks in front of me while Im grinding out my 8th rep w/ the 60's. What the fuck!!! I was so pissed My next set I moved close enough wher I placed my feet on the dumbell rack. I had to muster my rage not to crack her one.

Show some respect damn it! She was reaching for a dumbell and could have waited 2 min until I was done. This is precisely the reason I invested a fortune in my own home gym.

LOL...I'd hate to see you when something really bad happens.

yea, is that really so bad? did he take your hand and stop your movement? could you not continue your reps without seeing youself in the mirror? just keep pumping man...dont worry about how pretty you look doing it.

You must be one of those people who walk in front of others lifting to get your weights. It isnt about looking pretty. You use the mirror to keep your form in check. Instead of having your head bent over looking at your arms you use the mirror. Besides it is a BIG destraction to have someone walk in front of you.

Maybe I came across a little strong, but think of it this way, if your watching your form in the mirror and someone SEES you performing your excersise you dont walk right infront of that person knowing that they are concentrating on the excercise at hand.

I dont care how focused you are, that is simply distracting and disrespectful. There is certain etiquette protocol that needs to be followed in a gym.

If blocking the view of yourself for a split second is that much of a distraction, I suggest that both of you need to work on your concentration. Either that, or purchase a home gym.

Most people at a public gym have no real idea of what's acceptable and what isn't. To expect otherwise is unrealistic IMO.

People walk in front of me all the time while I'm working out. Long as they don't stand there and block my view, it's simply no big deal.

Gymtime, this lady was a Personal Trainer as I stated. She should know better. I would never walk in front of anyone doing there set. Its 2 minutes until the set is done at most. Its just being courteous.

if youve been lifting for any length of time, im sure you can keep your form in check for a second while someone is grabbing a weight...

Besides it is a BIG destraction to have someone walk in front of you.

ummm....maybe if you have a really short fuse, but to most of us it may be disrepectful, but its certainly not a "BIG" distraction. Besides, the mirror isnt doing the curls, you are.

Like she was keeping up with what your doing and what rep your on and read your mind to know how many you had left. Fact is other people pay gym dues, your post makes you sound like you deserve special treatment because why?

1) relax, shit it is just curls
2) it is gonna happne more often than you think
3) your goal is to get big not to enforce etiquette
