New Idiots and Morons at the gym thread

[Headholio]

people doing little 4 inch range of motion squats

That's annoying!
And they think they're doing squats and bragging about the weight they use.

 

[Bsdr]

I do half squats for a burnout after my main squats. Fast reps of short motion. It really works on toning up the legs. But for a main workout? That's horse donkey!


Complaining wont make you look good naked!

What about the people who do their entire workout on the cable machine!!! I want to fucking kill them!! We have 1 dude who is like 40 and lifts with a bunch of high school kids. They will do an entire workout on the cables and not let anyone in. So we put an out of order sigh on there it took them an hour to figure it out but they got the point. That's awesome about the dog food

^^^ yeah thats an outside the gym phenomenom. i get a lot of "i used to look like you 20 years ago" from guys who are now 55 and are obese. as if they can't get into shape at that age or something. plenty of 55 year olds look good.. i know some guys in their 60's who are in great shape. one dude i used to train with (former vietnam vet and ironman) can do 45 pullups in a row at 63 years old and that is after a 5 mile run with him. thats called staying in shape and not using bs excuses get in your way.

and then the "yeah beleive it or not i used to bench 550 pounds, but now I am a diabetic so i don't workout" .. as if having diabetes is a reason to quit on the gym, if anything you should want to get into better shape if you are a diabetic!

The other day I watched this older geriatric man walk away from the smith machine not removing any weight, which he had set up for shoulder presses, he went and began to do calve raises on another machine.
He was Doing calves for 5 mins, as the girl came over stripped off all the weight he had left on the smith machine. She was 2 sets into her front squats when fat man ran his fat ass over and said "I wasn't done with that yet, I have one more set."
There was another empty smith right beside him, which he seemed so declined to using. She was so pissed off she just laughed at him, and moved over to the next smith and put her weights back on and began doing front squats again.
10 mins later he was still sitting there "resting" for his last set of 2 plates per side, 2 reps of literally 3 inches of movement.

^^^ someone should tell that prick he doesn't own the gym and he should of let her atleast work in. there are a lot of guys in the gym who seem to boss women around..
i guarantee if you would of stepped in and said something you would of won major points with that chick man. girls love that shit when you defend them from injustice or those types of situations.

Partial range pull-ups. Bothers me cuz people tend to say "yeah i can knock out 12 pull-ups. Bullshit. Go down 95% and then try for 12 pull-ups.

100% truth

I get bossed around constantly with domineering bullshit by dudes with arms and chest and zero wheels....I enjoy leg pressing more than them when Im pissed
all the things they do to other dudes...the shoulder check, the chest puffing, the absurd number of curls in your way
they do that to chicks too...possibly worse. douchebags
because what possible business does the little woman have in the weight room?
I cant even imagine being a small petite thing and putting up with that.


and yeah..if I was single...I'd think a dude was my fucking hero for saying something to some asshole that was being an inconsiderate douche...tho I always ask if theyre done and if not if I can work in rather than just grabbing something...and then get cagey when they say no and make it clear Im waiting on them
this works on all of em except this one arrogant ginger asshole at the gym that probably hasn't been laid in 5 yrs


and not single...I'd still think the dude was my hero but probably wouldnt bat my eyelashes at him...too much

I did at first I walked up to him and pointed to him "there's an open smith machine right there" he looked at it and said "I already had this one set up for me." She laughed out loud and moved her stuff over, and I shook my head and left as I told him he shouldn't leave a piece of equipment for so long if he plans on using it still.

I don't think he understood the concept that it would have been less work for him to use the empty smith than to strip her weight off put his back on, and pull over his bench again. Also when I looked into his eyes as I spoke to him, he looked as if he didn't understand a word I said.
