Who you hate at your gym!!!!

[enrage]

i hate this one guy I nicknamed "Mr. Arrogant". He's one of those guys that has legs like a 12 year old boy and has them shaved clean. His calves look pathetic but he struts around like he knows his shit. Whenever he walks by the "Big Boys" he flexes his chest to make himself look bigger. Guy is probably 35 yrs old.
One day way back when for some odd reason he jumped in and trained back with me. I started off with bent over rows and on my second set of 225 he was using really bad form and struggling. I then asked, if you want I can strip the bar for you. He replied "nah, its ok". I then continued to go up in weight while keeping good form with no momentum. Anyway he couldn't hang. His form sucked and he was just working his ego to try to keep up. For some odd reason he was surprised that I was stronger than him. He then got on the subject of supplements and dieting. I then told him what i was taking and why. His eyes were just as wide as can be. I guess he thought he knew everything since he's a personal trainer.

Anyway that fool doesn't even tell me whats up anymore at the gym. For a personal trainer he sure does train like a pussy.

there's a white version of Steve Urkel in my gym, literally.
but he's a strong kid (at least 25 y.o. 120lbs, 5'4") for his skelator size, and knows his way around the gym but somehow it doesn't show...

Yeah... those people are called runners

Guys wearing spandex from head to toe.

I don't hate anyone at the gym. No one ever bothers me.

It helps to work out at 5 am. You only have enough energy for your workout. Besides, there's hardly anyone there to annoy you.

People with bad form are funny to watch, though. And the "resolutioners" never last long.

Hey Cracker Jax, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. There is this old man who wears this day glow headband and he loves doing sit ups in the squat cage. One day I asked him if he was using the cage and the bar and he said no, so then I started putting plates on the bar and all of a sudden he said, "hey be careful that is a lot of weight, what if it fell on top of me". And so I smiled and said, "EXACTLY". I haven't seen him doing sit-ups there ever since

 

[cardiosux!]

how about those girls that curl the 2- 5 lb. d-bells and insist on standing so close to the rack no one can get by??? And they don't move for you!! Like the are glued down by their huge bi's and impressive weight! Gimme a break! And they look around the whole time making sure everyone is watching their "progress"!!
Either lift or leave.

@#$@in' inconsiderate kids who don't put their weights back where they belong. The only thing worse is this one rather large dude who not only doesn't clean up after himself, he leaves lots of weight there. I'm sure the ladies appreciate having to remove more than ten plates off the leg press or six plates off the bar on the squat rack. Some folks' mommas didn't do their @#$@in' job!

That and people who drop whatever weight they are using from 2-3 feet off the ground...

or, if it's really crowded, trying to squeeze by you as you're doing flys or side raises... instead of waiting for you to finsh.

I've got the worst person

You've all seen him, and he's at every gym....it's the Mr. Tricep dumbbell kickbacks, from the Dumbbell rack so no body can get any Dumbbells for themself.

He's of course is the same guy that when doing DB biceps curls he stands so close to the rack and mirror you can see his breath on the mirror.

Then he uses such bad form, because he decides his triceps are so huge he needs to be using 45-50's for tricep kickbacks.

Or his wife Mrs. Tricep dumbbell kickbacks, from the Dumbbell rack. She always manages to sneak her way in so that when you need to put the weight back, you have to be double jointed to find the correct spot on the rack without hitting her fat ass.

Well I wouldnt say that I hate this person.....he's just plain annoying.
The gym that I train at is full of pretty cool people.....except for this one older guy. He's always trying to talk to me about powerlifting as if he knows his stuff. I dont know much about it, but I can see that he knows nothing.
For several weeks he used to watch me train and then come over and tell me what he could do. One week its 400lb squat for reps....I assumed he meant to parallel (never seen a powerlifter do less) and thought this was pretty good for an older guy. I got to see him squat a week or so ago. He set up the safety bars really low.....so I figure he's going deep. He could barely stand up under 310.......and he didnt do parallel or even quarter squats.....they were nearer eigth squats. And as he hit the "bottom" he would be shaking like hell. As he finished he was looking around for approval.......then he had 4 plates on each end.....that was the deepest squat I've seen in a long long time

1. How about women who use every piece of equipment as a freaking lazy boy.
2. The "advice" guy who just b/c he bought the newest mag he is going to give me advice about deep squatting being bad for my knees.
3. The younger girls who, while attractive, come to the gym in full make-up do 20 minutes of cardio not to break a sweat, do some cruches, then leave.

There are so many but so little time!
