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

[gmanlax7]

i hate dudes who mack chics for prolonged periods of times at the gym, especially since its almost always the pretty boys or the "i think im huge in my wife beater but im actually a bitch" crowd . More than once i have spit out a " hey buddy this ain't a bar"

People with cellphones are fuc**** ridiculus though...

And the phone ring on their first rep of 20! And they do not stop to take the call!!! I know what you mean

What can I say, I truely enjoy looking at my muscles work while I am working them. Its funny, Ive trained w/ Jim Quinn and other BB's and they all use the mirrors for motivation. Seems like those opposed may NOT like what they see. LOL

The people who go to the gym and spend all their time talking with their friends really give me a lot of inner motivation. Seeing them hardly lift a weight during their entire visit to the gym and seeing them never gain any muscle or lose any fat really does make me lift harder.

I sometimes think of these guys as I am struggling to lift another rep and how if I don't want to be like them I'd better focus and make sure I lift that weight. It's funny to see a group of about 3 men all standing around a piece of equipment for about 15 minutes and not actually lift anything whilst talking about something exceedingly trivial (yes they talk loud enough so you can't miss a single word).

I see those guys, I hear them and then I lift another rep beyond what I thought I could do.

There are no mirrors in my home gym

There are no mirrors in strongman contests...there are none in powerlifting. Wait...there are none in bodybuilding either...

Expecting someone to wait 2 minutes while you finish your set isn't even close to reasonable.

 

[coolcolj]

2mins is one long set

Mirror is good to keep the movement right when you train alone.

My 2 cents...

Yeah, using a mirror to watch your form on some excersises is usefull and in some people's opinion necessary. However, it sounds to me like you were working out in front of the dumbell rack! I HATE PEOPLE WHO STAND THERE IN FRONT OF THE DUMBELL RACK AND PUMP OUT THIER REPS!!! How the hell is the rest of the gym supposed to grab a set of dumbells? What? You can't take a step back or move away 10 feet?

I also hate those people that sneak a fart off in a crowded gym...geez! Talk about wrecking you set as you breath deep!

Everyone has a pet peeve in the gym! The only ones that are sacred are what you have your hands on. Be polite, and leave the egos at the door, and keep the testosterone under your skin!

Mirrors, dumbell racks, cell phones, yaking away... Just politely ask the person to
a)please move over
b)hang on a sec
c)answer that or turn it off please
d)move the discussion away from the machine or please use it.
e) ask very loudly "O.K. who the hell shit thier pants in here?"

If someone were to get pissed about the mirrors in my gym you'd get laughed out of your membership. The room is so busy mirrors there's no room to stake a claim on a section of mirror.

Ease up everyone...welcome to a society!!!!

I'm sorry, but you can't just expect people to put there workout on hold while you use the mirror. That is why there is that "pathway" in between the dbl rack and the benchs. (duh) Esp. if it is a crowded gym like mine. Maybe it is destracting to you, but you also have to share. If you want to be by yourself, go in the corner somewhere and do your curls standing up.



You must have some serious heart burn....

all in love
