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

[JDid23]

this one goes out to all the trainers who keep telling me to be quiet when i deadlift.... When you tell me a way to put 300 pounds down without making any noise, i'll be glad to not make any noise... and all the fucks who do curls in front of the DB rack for 2 minutes straight for 5 sets so i can't get any DBs.

So who else just kinda ignores the no chalk and no gym bag on floor rule? It's a gym! They ought to have chalk at the front desk if I need some!

im banned for life from InShapeCity for refusing to stop using chalk... there was no policy against it, and i cleaned it up after myself... new manager came in and made up stories to corporate about me making a scene and cussing him out...
i wish now that i did cuss them out...

ive seen TRAINERS at my gym do that shit... at a Gold's at that... this one trainer is really starting to piss me off actually...
i was talking with the head sales guy (more on him later) who knows how to train right... well he was asking me about the program i was doing for squats, i was in the second phase on smolov at the time... i was telling him my weights planned for the next day, which was somthing like 10 sets of 3's with 365+... well, the deuch trainer walks in, who ive never seen squat before, and says 'oh, i could probably do that...'
next week or so i see the dip with 315 on the bar struggling, not even near making parallel lol...
anyways, that sales rep buddy of mine and that trainer got into it about a month after that... unfortunately the fired my buddy, and then later on the trainer was promoted to head trainer... he also lives with the general manager... what a crock of shit, eh?....

Yea, could have seen that coming. I find it hilarious that in this thread alone a good to great portion of acts of stupidity we have heard about stem from some type of personal trainer. It's fine if you can't squat 315, I have zero respect for the guys I described but I def respect the guy who puts on what he can squat at the proper range and depth with a lighter weight. To me that's way more impressive.

By the way I saw these two again about a week or so later. The guys leave 315 on the rack like some type of trophy for others to see. I did the right thing and took the weight off cause he left. But about 5 minutes later I see him walking by. I made a B line to him took my HPhones out and told him and his partner to take the fucking weights off out of consideration for everyone else in the gym. He made a move to walk upwards them but I told him I already stripped it. Ask your self this. Is the gym really the place you want to be lazy in?

agreed... much respect for any weight squatted to proper depth with intensity... i want so bad sometimes to help others do it right... but i have to bite my tounge unless someone asks me themselves... its sad because another kid was in there a while back, trainer had him on leg presses... i think around 500ish.. and i was squatting 365 next to him... trainer asked me if he could work in for a set... had the kid get under the bar i had set, minus the 25's so 315... he could barely walk it out... got down maybe 1/2 way struggling bad... i was scared the trainer was going to get this (big) kid hurt... once again, gold's gym in oakdale, ca... DONT use the trainers there... come find me,...

This trainer at my gym asked me not to use chalk. I said to him: If you don't get the f out of my face, I'll put you in my trunk. He got the idea I was not impressed with his request.

I still don't understand the no chalk thing. Guys can leave shit everywhere, dumbbells, bars weights on the floor. Guys drying their nuts with hand driers, shaving naked and grinding nuts on the counter, people with sweat problems leaving pools of body fluids on benches but you bust out some chalk and they wanna crack the whip?! Get the fuck outta here. Unless you take it and load it in your hand and blow it in the air like LeBron what's the harm? It amazes me the trainer and staff let all the other shit slide but that. That they won't and can't allow. Meanwhile there are two 8 year old kids on the floor running around using every weight machine in sight. With NO supervision.

exactly why i love the golds i go to. theyres chalk all over half the barbells there and they even put out a chalk bucket. they have powerlifting competetions and whenever i forget my ipod i ask whoevers working to put hair nation on and theyre like yeah sure bro no problem.

youre never gonna go to a gym where everyone cleans up after themselves, ive given up on that, i just clean everything before i use it

Holy shit thats the fucking best bro!!!!



Not being able to train right now, I still am at the gym everyday either doing cardio and/or training my son during his football off season.
Nothing has made me more irate lately than these couple groups of 3-5 early 20's dick wads that come in. Usually one of them is in pretty good shape then his buddies are skinny ass bags. They each do a set or two then they fucking stand there taking up half the free weight area leaning on shit and bullshitting for like 15 minutes. then they each do another set or two and start allover.
It pisses me off so much cause a) your an asshole b) your wasting your time b) your raping my eyes with your faggotry (no homophobic intended here) c) I cant train right now!!! So I get to sit here and watch you idiots train wrong and throw away gym time that they totally take for granted and dont give a shit about....god help them when I can train.
