Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below im just wondering how many people are with me here...but does anyone notice how there are assholes at the gym that always try to stare you down? shit is fucking annoying. ive always noticed that its either younger kids anywhere from 18-21 who flex all day or the big, 45 year old bald guys who bench press 1000lbs. a lot of my friends notice shit too like that when they go to the gym too. im in my mid 20s, im in good shape, fairly muscular, but i generally stay low key, say hi to a few people every once in a while and keep my head down and focus on my workouts, so i never do anything to warrant it. im just wondering, since the gym isn't a UFC ring, why so many guys get off on "stare downs" at the gym?

I'm one of the guys who gets in, does my workout and gets out (Not a metaphor or analogy for anything). I don't really pay attention to what anyone else is lifting.
I don't get stared down, but I do get people watching when I lift. Especially when doing deads. If you can throw on a few plates, then people start taking notice. I think it's more so because people are uneducated and/or intrigued. They freak and think you're going to break in half when doing a big dead.

On a side note - this is a major reason why I prefer old-school, dirty gyms. The people are there to LIFT.
One of the gyms I trained at in the past (my favorite gym) closed down - but it had dust all over the ceiling fans, old-school equipment, a shit load of free weights and a stereo from the 80's. THAT is how I like to train.

I used to like it when I was stationed on an Aircraft Carrier and you get the weekend warriors in there thinking they are big and bad, well I would strap on a 45lb and a 25lb weight to a rope and do pull ups, these kids would laugh and giggle like little girls cause they didn't see the weight tucked behind my legz and saying look at that kid struggling, well after I knock out 15 or so, I'd jump down and jus to see there mouths drop that someone my size could knock that out.. They didn't look at me for the rest of the workout.. But yeah once some douche is in the gym it's automatic that they are a bodybuilder and know more than anyone else in there..
We like to call it Amatuer Hour!!

There is this one dude at my Gold's Gym who will "super set" between 8 different things at once. He does about 1/4 of the full range of motion with WAY too much weight. The best is standing arm curls with an EZ bar, he sways his whole body with it. Shit is annoying. He's about 5"8' average build. Fucking idiot.

my theory bro is the people forget that we all have something in common when we go to gyms. We are there to better our physics our mind or just push some heavy ass mother fuckn weights. Some cats like to let their ego take control of themselves. But the gym is not for that. I have a great physic and i'm verry confidant in myself. Some people thing i'm one of those guys who you're talking about. I dont look down at the small guys if i c you're struggling i'll be there to help you or give you advice. We all need help, to me i dont have to know you in the gym but to me we're good bros and i'll have your back anyday, dick heads like that bro i have no respect for em too. People might think their cool or what ever but the people who know what their doing in the gym we look down to them.
You are absolutely right!! You said it all.. Only if these douchebags read some of the shit they do maybe they would understand gym editquette..

I'm glad I have my own set up; I used to work out at a gym but if it wasn't the attitude it was waiting for someone to quit goofing around so I could use the equipment. Plus working out in my own little place{a wooden shed
} I can turn up my music and do my thing. Only drawback is not having a spotter, unless my girl is around. And I still need some stuff added but I make due; better than the bs at the gym imo.
Not much but here's some pics of my little heaven...
