Damn, I gotta go on a bit of a rant here. I was doing bi's yesterday and started out with straight bar curls. So I have 125 on each side and pump out 10. Then put a 10 on and go get a drink. I come back and the 10's are gone. On the next rack over is "Johnny Big Arms", what me and my workout partner call him because we only see him doing bi's, nothing else. This guy weighs about 250 and is 5'10. I'd put his bodyfat at 20%. He's one of those fat guys that call themselves "power lifters." Anyway, he sets the weights down after doing "half curls" (all back, no bi's). I go over and tell him that I was using them, but since I wasn't that pissed yet asked if he was done. He tells me one more set...then proceeds to start chatting for like 10 f*cking minutes with his "powerlifting" friend. Of course there are no more damn 10's so I go over take the 10's off in the middle of one his punch lines and start my set. Then we hear him, "Damn it, where's my weights." I still had another set or else I probably would have said something. The idiot just threw on 5's and did another set of half-curls before leaving. Any of you guys have idiots in your gym like this or am I the only one surrounded by this bullsh*t? Kain IP: Logged |

yeah used to have a guy who'd come in like he owned the place just grab whatever he wanted whether somebody was using it or not. And he would not take polite suggestions to follow some etiquette either. Eventually enough people got pissed off that the staff finally got the message and the behavior stopped. In your case though sounds like you might want to bring a towel to throw over your weights if you get up to leave to get a drink.Or bring a drink bottle and save the trip. I do both to insure nobody interupts my workouts.Manana.... IP: Logged |

I try to be polite and ask if someone's using something. The other day I asked and the guy said yes. Then he dicked around so long I just took it anyway  ------------------ IP: Logged |

actually my gym has many pillars of the fashion communities. I see guys come in wearing shit you would not believe. One piece bodysuits and shorts that look like something out of the thongsong video. Don't these people look in the mirror? IP: Logged |

I actually had a guy take a swing at me once because I wouldn't let him have the bench I was on. He had assumed that since he was 'bigger' that I should just give him the bench since he didn't want to work in. -iceman IP: Logged |

What really ticks me off is when guys at the gym use the squat rack to do straight bar curls! IP: Logged |

I can't say I have had that trouble yet. I tend to go early in the morning like three am. However, the people at my gym are pretty respectful and conscientous of each other. They ask if you are using something if you are standing near it. Then of course you get the morons every now and then who just like to monopolize everything within their sphere of space that is ten around. Those times I just go to my car and grab my bazooka out of the trunk, and boy, you should see them run. lol...makes me laugh everytime. jk. IP: Logged |

I had a similar experience with some old motherfucker while I was sqatting. I thought he was just a fag watching until I sat down to put my wraps on. When I looked up he was stripping my weight off after I was finished for no less than 30 seconds. I wanted to kick his goddamn face in! Leg day is hard enough without assholes like that. He looked me right in the eye and had the nerve to say "I'm sorry I did not know you were using the rack." I said "Bullshit! You just stood there and watched me do 3 sets! And I still have 5 more so go away!" He wanted to "curl" on my squat rack. He then stood about 30 feet away and watched me do every set without moving - and there was another identical rack behind me that was empty! What a freak! He then loaded a straight bar with 135 on a flat bench and did a set of the worst 1/4 curls I have ever seen. I thought he was going to break his damn spine. And then he left! That was my wierdest experience. I haven't seen him since. He must have been visiting. And the special olympics weren't even in town! What a dipshit! IP: Logged |

Ever tried to get on the smithmachine, and someones on, so you go and do maybe 12 sets on 3 different stations,and come back and they're still doing the same S**T! So not to be uncool ask to work in and they're like, "I just got a couple more sets" so your like F**K it and do some abs and cardio, time to go but just curious so you check again and.... yup, still there!

Yup, got some of those. I hate them but whats even more worse is that I'm the biggest asshole when I don't like someone. I will just say shit around them or take weights from then like what they do to me and just see if they say something back. They never do cause their all big and bad but when it comes down to it they dont have the balls to back up their mouths. IP: Logged |

im gonna change it a lil. there was a woman today at the gym. i wish people had mirrors. first of she had spandex shorts on. it looks like she stuffed 10 pounds of shit into a 5 pound bag. she had more lumps than a cottege cheese factory. this old bitches ass would have probably touched the back of her thighs if she dropped those shorts. it was LOOSE. to top it off, you know those thongs hot chicks usually wear at the gym over spandex shorts??? well you guess it she had em on!!! i didnt know whether to laugh or to barf....unreal. also she had her makeup done trying to cover up her nasty face. im sorry but you should be there to excercise, not try and impress the geezers who hog the fucking bench talking about what is going to happen at the city hall when the politicians vote for the new mall that might be built... chris ------------------ IP: Logged |

A couple weeks ago, I went into the gym all amped for a great chest workout... I had taken ephedrine and caffiene a few minutes before I got there, so I was READY TO GO... I do a couple warmup sets and leave the bar loaded and my towel on the bench while I go get a drink of water. When I get back, there's some guy on the banch... He'd tossed my towel on the ground, unloaded some of the weight from the bar, and started pumping out some reps that were just PAINFUL to watch... His ass was a good 8 inches off of the bench, and he was bouncing the bar off his chest so hard it looked like he was gonna break a rib or five. Anyway, I didn't want to interrupt his set, so I wait for him to finish up and say "Hey, I'm working here, but you can work in if you like" The fucker just holds up his index finger to shush me like I'm his 8 year old son, whips out a cell phone, and starts having a conversation with his wife or something while STILL sitting on the bench... I am not a violent person, but I wanted nothing more at that point than to stick his phone someplace that'd get him on next year's Darwin awards... Instead I just gave him a lecture on gym ettiquete (and fucking humen decency and respect.) Fucker. IP: Logged |

I can't fucking believe it! Not an hour after my last post in this thread (above), nearly the same goddamn thing happened again. This time a marine looking prick with skinny pale calves and a farmers tan and his fat girlfried started to strip my plates off a smith machine so that he could teach her how to attempt military presses with way too much weight. The fucking smith machine next to it was empty!!! I almost hit him. At least the remainder of my workout was intense. Later this prick was teaching his newbie fat girlfriend how to do clean and jerks! I thought she was going to fall over on top of him. What a sight. And get this - on the way out, he got into his miata and drove away. I think I'll just lift my truck a few more inches and just crush him and his fat bitch in his little homo car! IP: Logged |

Here's my contribution: There is a guy that works out at my gym, good upper body, shitty lower-you know the ostrich rider kind of guy. All I ever see him doing is benches. Well last night, I see his fucking ugly mug posted at every single location in the gym: water fountain, locker room, entry to weights and cardio, even the hospital rehab section. He is advertising as a PERSONAL TRAINER! I guess he struck some kind of deal with the owner to post this. Anyway his pic is one of these before/after EAS bullshit type pics with 20% bf b4 and 5% after."In only 90 short days!" What an asshole! I did this to every one of his lying, scamming, and misrepresenting flyers. I mean, its okay to be enhanced, but don't charge people $ and make them think they can look like you without it. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I just loved this one day. I was supersetting leg extensions with squats and had been using both for a little while. I go over to the leg extension, not 20 feet away, leaving my belt laying across the bar and my water bottle next to the squat rack. Some dipshit, who had been back there the whole time I had been using the rack, walks up to it and throws my belt to the floor and starts to strip the bar. Hey, dumb$#@%, what's your problem, where's your manners?! Just a little common sense..... ------------------ IP: Logged |

I love posts like this. I can read them all day. It's like that pain when you're losing a tooth as a kid. You just keep fucking with it because somehow the pain feels good. Some jackass was doing cadio next to me the other day and he decided that he's Jesse Owens now. He ramps up the treadmill to the max incline and max speed before he even gets on it. He's planning to just jump on and go I guess. I looked up at the ceiling and prayed out loud: "Please God, let him fall. Just let him fall." The guy heard me and just laughed. He wasn't laughing anymore when he went from 0 to 60 to 0 in the space of 4 seconds. He didn't land on his back but that thing shit him out like a bad case of supplement ass. Looked like a cat falling out of a tall tree. I got a great abs workout from laughing at him. He was pissed and didn't know what to do, so he left the thing running ( sounded like a blender about to explode ) and took off out of the gym before the staff could tell him to turn off his shit. I love dickheads sometimes. If nothing else, they provide some amusement in the gym. [This message has been edited by aahthit (edited July 29, 2000).] IP: Logged |

One day as my buddies and I were shrugging off the rack(my gym has 6-awesome), some homo pulls his seated chair right up behind me to look in the mirror at himself while he did his 10 lb. db. curls.I waited for him to go and then when he got done we would take our turn.Trouble is the homo was sitting so close that he could have stuck his tongue out and touched my a**.The pri** didn't get off his chair once.He sat there the whole time.

Okay, my turn. All of the above are annoying as hell, but I will tell you one that really got on my nerves. I was doing barbell rows on a rubber mat yesterday. Normally, I will take off my shoes to increase my balance, but sometimes I just take a 5# weight and put it under the front half of each foot. I was doing it with the weights and this new guy obviusly didn't want to walk the 20 feet to the weight tree to get his own. He reaches down and actually pulls the one out from under my right foot, and before I can protest, proceeds to reach across towards my left to get the other. My barbell row became a dead-lift. I came up as fast as I could, with all of the force I could find. The bar caught the guy right under the septum and across his upper front teeth. I didn't get a chance to see if any of his teeth took any punishment, but I saw his septum was torn at least a little from his upper lip. Must have hurt like hell. He left all teary eyed yelling about talking to the owner. He must not know the owner very well, because he was standing right behind me, laughing his ass off. You see, he is my workout partner. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I train at a decent gym, but some of the people there have no common sense or gym ettiquete. I work at a vitamin store part time and am the "Bodybuilding" guy I guess. I get a lot of questions like, "How do I get big?" Or my favorite, "How do I lose weight?" I help out as many people as I can in the store because that's what I like to do. The problem is that the gym I train at is really close to the store. Many people that come in I see at the gym. I was doing some pullovers cross bench a couple of days ago and felt this tap on the shoulder in the middle of my movement. I thought something was wrong. Some dummy recognized me and stopped my workout because he wanted some diet advise on what the Glycemic index of Pizza was. Come on! I just stood there in disbelief. I wish people would have enough respect to let others train without bothering them. I now train with a hat on and headphones so I can avoid eye contact and can't hear anymore dummy's talking to me.
