You're too nice. We have one squat rack. If someone is doing something other than squats or deadlifts, then they gotta go. I just walk up and say are you almost done curling in the squat rack. Usually they say yea no problem. Although I am 6'5 280 right now...haha
I had that same guy in my gym, but he was Asian and tatted up, doing curls at the rack......FML....

Yeah I wear my era buds and Rock my iPod. I leave my cell in the truck. Work can wait 2 hrs. The gym is for work out time.. Right. Now of course I have had a sales person take me to their gym/social club. After a work out they sit around drink wine and smoke cigars. That was an experience.
that is bullshit.
my gym is very anti-rules.. you can scream, grunt all that shit that other pussy gyms don't allow.. HOWEVER they have a sign when you walk in NO CELL PHONES ALLOWED!! why must this douche in that pic bring his cell phone to the gym? if you are expecting a phone call then stay home..
i hate the people who leave their phones and other things on benches, the benches aren't for leaving your shit that you shouldn't even of brung into the gym, they are for working out!

Had a guy do that the other day....I was on one side heading over to use a bench in the power rack because everything else was taken. Guy grabs it and pulls it to the smith machine so I grab another from by dumbells thinking he is going to presses or something.....no he needs a table for his towel, phone, and water bottle.
Also I bring my phone with me not to talk though. I use the note program to log everything I do. If I do get a call I ignore it unless it involves my fiance or daughter...then I pick up my stuff and go out of the way to use it leaving the equipment open for use. Usually even if it is the fiance ill ignore her also and make her send a text to see if its urgent or bullshit.

Man I wish I could of got a pic of this guy the other day. He wasn't aggravating or anything, just goofy as shit. Little short shorts like umbros, a jersey shore abercrombie tank...the ones that look a bit like sports bras, and it was tight on him with his stomach pudge sticking out. Sweat band on and everything. Had me laughing out loud and I had to try and keep a straight face around him.

In all fairness I bring my phone to the gym. Now the ringer is off but I use apps to track my progression and shit. I try with pen and paper but I can never keep track of a pen then I just forget stuff or any notes I was particular about. I think my pacing and glaring inform ppl to stop being stupid and gtfo of the way!

I don't mine when young high school kids want to ask question about how to improve this or what are u doing to get that size and strength. But I had this one kid that would ask me the same damn questions everyday for months and it was always how can I get your size and strength. The kid was 17yrs old. One day i walk into the gym and here he comes i guess on this day He just caught me on a bad day I told him the secret to get to my size and strength was that the moment he was done training he needed to eat a can of alpo dog food for 30 next days and he would start noticing a change in his size and strength. So that's exactly what he did. He comes back up to me after 30 days all pissed off cause nothing changed. I go, so I bet your not gonna ask me that question anymore. Felt kinda bad but never got bugged again.

I saw these two buddys working out together doing shoulders.. They were both on the same bench right on eachother spotting every rep on lateral raises.. If you cant even do 1 rep dont touch the damn weights!
what about the guys who bring their gf's with them to the gym and work out together doing pussy weight. we have like 4 or 5 couples like that at my gym. one of the guys wears a belt the whole time for his 95 pound bench press while the girl spots him. then they switch and the girl benches 65 pounds. if you can only out bench your petite gf by 30 pounds then you should probably change the way you workout and eat.
also we have 2 fat old slobs who walk around the gym with their chests out wide like a cock ready for a fight and flirt with every skinny chick in there. and wear one of those huge leather belts around their stomach with the flab wrapped over it. i'm sure they consider themselves 'bodybuilders'.. they hog the bench for like 90 minutes and do like 1 rep at a time and spend most of the time socializing with all the trainers there. they do the same exact workout every time they go and never work their legs.

Hahhahahaah the couples one is so true. They stay at the same weights year round to! Luckily the gym I go to doesn't have the 300 pound fatass that always talks about "back in his day" more like back in his dream
I saw a chick doing this the other day...she was very in love with her arms...
and we have mirrors
I keep my phone on me for emergency phone calls from my kids but it doesn't come out of my pocket and its always on vibrate
hey hey hey!!!
I go with the husband to the gym about once or twice a week when our schedules line up
but hes mainly there to make sure I dont rage on ppl hogging the squat rack doing curls
which in my new gym seems to be epidemic..my old gym it was only ever hogged by people doing little 4 inch range of motion squats while i wondered how their knees were holding up
the good old days..
ironically one of the guys I raged on (and lost enuff control that I punched a bar on a bench...dumb) about doing curls in the squat rack asked if I could spot him on something the other day...then comes running over to spot me doing bench ...I had to ask him as politely as possible to not touch the bar; Im not afraid to do the roll of shame
he went to like spot me and was taking most of the weight off the bar/hands on the whole time
no wonder why these people look the same yr after yr

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!
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.

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.
^^ non weighted pull-ups...pussies
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
douchbaggery
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.

while we are on the way guys treat women at the gym subject.
how bout the guys who always stare at females and try and show off in front of them. I don't think women care how much you can curl buddy. or the guy who starts talking to them and talks about how wasted he got the night before and how he 'went out' .. i don't think women care about your loser drunk life either bro.
the gym i go to is like 85/15 men and i swear every chick I have taken with me there has said she feels like every guy is staring at her the whole time. its so creepy to be around so many douchebags.. even the guy at the front desk the other day i was having a serious conversation with and he starts staring away from me and then shakes his head and says 'my bad steve i was staring at that girls ass, what were you saying?'.. i was like sheesh go fuckin take a cold shower bro.. how pathetic are these guys to be that pussy whipped? its an insult to all males out there.

That's the main thing my fiance complains about. There are a good amount of women that go to the gym we go to but most go during the day. In the afternoons when all the guys are off of work she feels harassed just by stares. Sometimes she says some creepers may follow her or talk her about weird stuff. Makes her uncomfortable. Also she complains about the same conversations you mention. It's like they think its cool to talk about partying and women in front of other women....she calls it douche bag hour.

I wonder why the girl never took the empty one in the first place?
Complaining wont make you look good naked!
Well the empty one was being used, and after she was two sets into her front squat it was then empty
ya I gotta be honest if Im lookin at any dude in the gym its to figure out what hes on (new gym is FULL of joosers old one was not) or to see what weight youre doin to compare to mine (haha) OR to make fun of pithy little legs compared to gorilla arms
OR if I see you doing an exercise Im not familiar with..trying to decide if it might be useful.
thats it
DAYM I love working out at home.
IDK how you guyz and galz put up with it. I reckon that I would just zing a 5 or 10 pounder off their head at close range.....and then go to jail and be done with it.
Why are people like that? I cant figure it out.

No I wanna tell you about this disgusting douche bag who was on the decline bench (doing pussy weight btw) and this dirty little Asian bitch bastard rips a fart that could have knocked over a horse. I was doing dips and was plugged in to my head phones and I swear, I have a STRONG stomach, I gaged, struggled to breathe, dropped the weight I had on my belt onto the floor and took off. Everyone around him covering their face and running away I swear it smelled like he ate a small child. It was horrible!!! Now today this son of a bitch does it again!!!! He does it tomorrow I swear we are plugging his ass with a 10lb kettle ball. Shit was uncalled for.

get him a bottle of pro-biotics and maybe he will get the hint.
what about the guys that shit in the toilets in the locker room and stink the whole place up. i mean you are at the gym for 1 hour, you are seriously telling me you couldn't take a dump at home before coming? i don't get that at all.
Ok so serious question here peeps.
You all workout at public gyms for whatever reason.
Most of these idiots are posers anyway or dumb ass high schoolers.
So when they do this dumb shit why dont you just tell them to get the hell out of your way or to quit being such a douch?
From what you are all saying on here most of them wouldnt have the balls to do anything but get out of your way anyway, would they?
And if they go "tell on you" then you would just explain the situation and I would think that any reasonable person would get the picture real fast that your serious and wanna work out but the idiot is just fucking off.
Yes, No, Maybe?

^^ hahahaha its funny you say this, i was in the sauna and their was an old naked asian guy who raised his leg and ripped ass three different times before i finally got up and walked out. He then apologized about 15 minutes later! You would assume if you realized what you did was wrong you wouldnt do it three friggin times. But ive been to china, it appears to be more acceptable among their culture to be what us americans would call "discusting"
I am sympathetic to a lot of bad gym etiquette cause we all were new at one time. if they get in my way I politely tell them about it. example i had some kids take my weights off the ground I was using for leverage on my bench press. (they obviously did not understand why the weight was on the ground, unless a person competitively lifted at one time they may not know that is totally legal to do for us guys with shorter legs) I told them I was using that weight with a smile and they gave it back to me.
another time I had X amount of weight on and the personal trainer who was training a female took my 2.5 pounds off my bar on one side.. I had no idea they had taken it cause I had a 45, 25, 10, 5 etc on there.. luckily a buddy of mine noticed it.. could of been a potentially dangerous situation having more weight on one side of the bar cause of that PT's mistake (i'm assuming they thought no one was using it and looking back i should of told them something) i said nothing to them and just grabbed another 2.5 pound weight.. not a big deal and not worth losing focus over. so it all just depends on the particular situation.
I like to stay focused in the gym and as long as they don't get in my way I'm good.. luckily my gym isn't crowded so things like doing curls on the squat rack is not an issue but if i worked out at a crowded gym I would definately have a problem
I wish everyone at the gym was this mature. All the juice heads at my gym are dicks and mock the new people. I hate seeing a teenager starting lifting and these guys laughing at him instead of helping him with his form. We were all new at one time

I've seen this a bunch of times and I'll be the first to tell someone "hey don't do it like that do it like this" but then I feel like a know it all. Either or, I'm a friendly person by habit, and I think, or hope no one ever takes it as being a know it all. I like to help where I can. On the flip side, people who are dicks to me just get a right hook and a spin kick to the throat. I never argue with anyone. Shits pointless.
My gym has a lot more members than it has lockers in the locker rooms. As a result the policy is that no one gets an assigned locker and needs to take their things home at night. I have not problem with this as my clothes need to be washed and my shoes need to be aired out after each workout. For some reason others think that the gym policy does not apply to them. I see the same locks on the same lockers everyday. Today I saw one of the people that feels entitled to a locker and it does not look like he goes to the gym often to put it mildly! I saw another one of the locker entitled people and he is no regular either. Not sure why people think they can just call a locker their own.

Nah see we got the same thing in my gym, so the personnel keeps track of lockers and of ur shit is left there one day too long, they bust ur lock put your shit in a garbage bag, label the locker # and put it on the side for you to reclaim when u come back. No one leaves their shit now.
I got to look like the noob ass noob the other day....and have to now go back to the gym at a different time every day for fear someone will recognize me
so Im benching my little heart out and get to the last rep of my last set and I just cant put the weight up...I can get it maybe 2 inches and thats it.
so I start the roll of shame...rolling the barbell off of me (no biggy doesnt bother me) only my husband sees me from across the gym and runs over thinking I cant get the thing off of me...proceeds to fight with me in an almost tug of war while Im telling him "let go" only he cant hear me cuz his ear buds are still in and hes like leveraging one side off my ribs...now that hurts and I scream "FUCKING LET GO"
he pulls it off and racks it...I sit up and like three guys are laughing at what they just saw

Lmao that's funny as hell. I did the same shit about 3 weeks ago but I got hurt. Had 315 on bench and my last rep of last set, and my muscle in my left shoulder popped and it slowly came down onto my chest and a bunch of guys across the way are just staring at me (it was obvious it was stuck on me) I say "Ay assholes!! A little help maybe?!" thennnnn they go "oh sorry bro" smh ahhh o well we love to fight another day
I always try and help people whether they are newbs or experienced.. there was this gigantic dude the other day while i was doing deadlifts he comes up to me and asks me if i can spot him on free weight chest butterfly's.. no problem cause i like to take 3-5 minutes in between sets on deadlifts anyway.. he was doing 120 per arm and he trusted me enough to help drop the weight on each of his arms and to spot him.. now next time i need someone to spot me i expect him to do the same for me.
its just like EF, I will hook you up, but you better hook me up as well.. kinda like the karma system on here.
I'm surprised they laugh at new kids, they must have forgotten at one time they were new as well and likely very skinny kids (hell we all weighed 100 pounds at one time right?) ... i know I was skinny as a rail at 14, looking back i wish i had started lifting earlier than 15 cause its an awesome thing to get into.

There were these 2 guys who were really into acting all hard core. Really into themselves and to each other it seemed. All kind of grunting and dropping weights and looking at themselves. They used to do donkey calve raises, like they were Arnold and Franco or something. (There were plenty of other ways to do calves in that gym).
So one day the one guys partner is missing, and the other guy asks if I'll help him by sitting on him while he's bent over going up and down doing his donkey calves. (it has to be the gayest movement ever). I just had to say sorry man, no way I'm going to do that. His face looked so hurt it was hilarious. Like he never imagined anyone would say no to the opportunity to ride on his frickin back.
LOL to Shirls story, but at least you've got the nuts (figuratively of course ) to go to failure without a spot. Most guys would have racked it 2 reps prior.

same problem at my gym until they put up a sign saying "at the end of the week, all locks and contents within the lockers will be thrown out". They "flag" your locker on thursday and saturday they throw your shit out. I love the people that complained. Management said "if you came in once in awhile, you would have seen the new policy". And it's true. People got the hint really quickly after two weeks.

Holy shit this one kills me too. There's a couple of guys that do this at my gym. I call 'em the cable guys. Fairly big guys too, but they're always on the cables and the thing is, we have one cable machine and it also has the only decent pullup grips attached to it. Every time I'm at the gym and I see them pull up I whisper out loud to myself "You gotta be fucking kidding me.".
You just can't do 45 minute plus cable workouts several days a week. I just can't believe people who obviously work out quite a bit and are probably even using gear can be that stupid. It's against the laws of the universe, you just can't do it.

I'm not a big talker, and I have social anxiety disorder. But a lot of times I'll make it a point to encourage a guy who's not very advanced that I see doing deadlifts. Had a conversation with a guy the other day. I maxed out on the deadlift, got a PR, and after stripping most of the weight off he said, "You can just leave that I'll take care of it." And he actually did deadlifts. I was proud of this dude I never met in my life. He sought out a routine using heavy compound movements and was adhering religiously. I told him he was the only guy I've seen besides me doing deadlifts there. I talked to him for awhile about how I put a couple hundred pounds on my deadlift using something similar to Stronglifts 5x5.
Maybe we all have to do our part. There's a part of me that says if I encourage people to do squats for instance, I'll get stuck with no rack at some point. But if we all did our part maybe our douchey gyms would all have more than one rack.
