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

[heatherrae]

What about the really loud "grunts" made on weight that isnt "gruntworthy"...I can understand belting out when you have a bar so stacked that the shit is bending...But there are these 3 guys that I guess get off to yelling while repping...They are pretty big guys and they are fucking welping out with 225-250...Am I the only one annoyed by this..

That makes me CRAZY when guys do this! They grunt on every single rep, even the first set. It's like they wear it like a badge of honor. I also hate when this girl at the gym sits there on a machine doing a gazillion reps with no weight just so she can be next to some guys that she very obviously stalks around the gym. It's like she uses the equipment like a piece of furniture to park her butt. In the meantime, I'm patiently waiting for the boys to move on so she will go with them. I know it has to annoy these guys too, because they never speak to her.

Is it worse if they grunt like ROAAARRRRRR or like a little bitch?

There were these 3 guys who would train together. Friggen 3 man rotation on everything. Except as they got into the heavier lifting, of course they'd strut around like they were doing the "hardcore" stuff. But what started as just those "I'm pullin' hard" faces started turning into these high-pitched squeals like a little bitch on the contraction. Jeez. Didn't know guys could hit those high notes like that. Every freekin rep too.

rofl...that would be more embarrassing than her hand on my butt.

She'd get her hand off your ass tho!

I would not be able to control myself if I heard a guy squealing like a girl on a rep. I am prone to the giggles when I'm really tired, anyway, and I'm pretty sure I would fall over laughing.

Two of the 3 guys were really into it & all about the "strut". The 3rd guy caught me looking at him once & sort of trying to hold back that laugh. And then he listened to himself -- he's like "God, I'm sound like a little bitch!" He wasn't able to do it w/a straight face ever again, but he kept doing it.

wtf! That sounds weird.

I had a first session with a PT today and she kept feeling whatever muscle group I was working. I really think she meant NOTHING by it, but I felt the eyes of a bunch of people when I was doing glutes and she had her hand on my butt the entire time. LOL. I was a little embarassed.

If she was cute I would working out on the thigh adductor everyday for hours.

i've seen a group of 6-7 guys, rotate on the BB flat bench, doing that tag team bench/row with 150 and getting psyched up, roaring like it's 500

If you think about it. They're roaring like it was 120 but done without the spotters' help.

Hey! What'd everybody do w/ DJeclipse? LoL

O.k. I understand the whole personal trainer touching a working muscle to help the client focus... but some muscles you just don't touch!!! I mean I think everyone knows "Squeeze your glutes" or "Really squueze your chest muscles"... Could you imagine a girl doing an incline chest press and the whole time the trainer has his/her hands on her chest saying,"Squeeze right here darling!" I think not... I'd tell her to get her hand off my butt if you felt that uncomfortable especially...
