Morons at the gym (the official thread)...

[Kabeetz]

I'm having the same problem..only the guy always wants to spot ME and change my routine... he always asks me about my 5x5 and then criticizes it. I missed 177x5 on monday, on the 5th rep he yells out I'm cuuurling here!! LOL then today he comes over to spot me as I am redoing the lift and I'm like alright I'm going for 3 and then he's like I'll tell you when to stop.. JEEZ. I just don't know how to be mean to people. And then after I fail on the 4th rep he's like how many times a week u benching?? I go 2. he's like u gotta do 1. I'm like yeah yeah he's like you can do 2 but you can't go for max every time. I'm like THAT'S WHY I WENT FOR 3. And then he goes how long have you been trying to do this weight.. I go two weeks. He goes that's too long.. and I go well I did lose weight last week and 2 pounds this week..so I'm honestly OK with at least maintaining strength at the lower weight. And he goes? 2 pounds?? 2 pounds is nothing your lifts should be going up!!! And then he goes: Are you a trekkie? Cuz I'm a trekkie.... LOL I hate people.

OK, I have a new moron at my gym. Now, to be fair, I don't mind giving a spot or helping someone out. This new guy has been stalking me the past 2 times I've been. Helped him out with his bench the first day, then went back to my workout. Now I can't get rid of him. He stands around and waits for me, then stands behind me and keeps talking throughout my set. I've tried the nice comments "hey I need to hurry" "no time to chat today" etc, but he doesn't get the hint. I actually got pissed because he grabbed me to "help" with my squats when I was no where near failure.

He's using some "routine" out of Stacked? (must be some mag) and keeps asking my opinion on it, which I try not to bash too bad. All bench, all day, then some cable crap. Any tips for getting rid of him other than protein farts?

Try adding some Trenbelone to your diet.... works wonders for gym friendships.

You're sick and I love it. My problem is I can't, and won't, be rude to guys twice my age.. just a respect thing ingrained in me. I gotta start putting my workout before this crap though.

god this thread is hilarious!!! Once I was on the treadmill doing cardio, and this big guy walked in like the baddest ass thing in the world, wearing a weightbelt on his way in. I seen him carrying plates over to the freeweight room, but didn't really think much about it. a few minutes later, he grunted so loud that I jumped and almost fell off of the treadmill. Everyone was looking at each other like "wtf??" So after the 3rd set of 4, I had to go check it out. He had 3 plates on each side of the bench, and as he was screaming like he was lifting a car or something, was only going down 3".

SEE ^^ THIS I can handle ... I was just thinking this morning how that is FINE ... then dude who wears the cotton/mix GRAY spandex waltzes by, after his skinny ass is done checking himself out in the mirror (picture doing free standing squats, no bar, really fast whicle staring at his ass, lol then does a side to side shuffle while grabbing the towel wrapped around his neck & looking in each mirror) ... I had best Chest day of my life, but seriously I have to zone him out b/c it was

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Tell him about trying a 5x5 routine and he can look it up online. I'd also imply that if he touches my eqpt while I'm using it I'll accidently shove a barbell into his groin.

I witnessed some guy at the gym yesterday climb into the leg press machine backwards! He tried to put his head and shoulders against the foot platform and his feet on the back pad. He realized real quick something was wrong. I couldn't help but laugh. What an idiot.

I'm sorry, but I laughed out loud for about 2 minutes when I read this. The mental picture alone from that is enough to make me tear up laughing.

A PT at the gym was teaching a client how to clean and press the other day. Well, that's what he told the client he was teaching. He had him pull the bar from the floor and then upright row it, then quickly bring his elbows under the bar. He told him to do an upright row. What's so pathetic is the client is paying $65 an hour to this assclown.
