I have many...

1) like you stated, obese people should spend a couple of months doing cardio before attempting freeweights.

2) when people monopolize your time asking questions...I dont mind questions, just make it quick.

3) "Tommy tough guys"...you know dudes that are just there to get a date...they just end up monopolizing equipment and pissing me off.

4) old gay guys that hang out in the locker room (I once saw some flamer blow-drying his pubes at the sink).

I know I have more, but its late.

HERES ONE YOU'VE ALL SEEN I'M SURE....Guys who load up the bench with about 100lbs more than they should be using, then have their equally pussyfied workout partner jerk the weight off his chest two or three times & then say "barely touched it man"! These are usually the same little bugs who insist on screaming encouragement to each other at the top of their lungs, so the whole gym will notice them.

i have 2...people leaving the gym for the day without racking their weights....clean up your shit! The other is the group of 3 or 4 cocky dudes who migrate from one area to another totally making it impossible for anyone else to use the equipment in that area for a good 20 minutes, (this applys especially in a smallish gym)

How about free weights put back in the wrong fucking place. Picture it, its your last set of flat bench presses. You pick up your weights and back up to the bench, lay down and get that first rep but wait, some dumb fuck can't read numbers and stuck a 85 where a 95 should be.

The guys that have the best upper body you have seen in awhile, but their legs look like pencils. Best excuse i have heard is "Chicks don't look at your legs man"

People that:

a) Dress up like Abercrombie & Fitch Model and work out. Come-on its a weight room, dress like you are going to work out, not like you are going to walk down the lane to show off your expensive clothes. (See Pretty Boy)

b) People to busy to spot you. Sometimes my training partner doesnt come in with me, so I have to lift solo. If I ask for a 20 second spot, while you are in between sets it WON'T kill you.

c) People that strut around like HOT-SHIT! Some Gyms not only make muscles bigger, but EGO's bigger as well. (Yes, they are big, but they most remember, there is someone bigger then them)

d) People that sweat all over the eqiup and dont wipe down. (Need I say more)

120lbs wimps who try curling 10 kgs dumbells and try to make out with all their screams that it is the hardest thing in the world. When finished the often grunt and drop it to the ground despite their being a sign saying "No Dropping Weights". Not to mention his from which is not existent.

Also the dumb asses who leave the weights on the floor so on your way to put yours back you almost trip up.

I have one, people who boast about what they can lift, then you watch them and they use like a third of the range of movement.An example is a guy in the gym who is like a stick, and told me he could do 10 reps with 120kg in the squat.A few days later he's in the rack and calls me over for a spot.He's got 100kg on the bar and decends around 6 inches for two reps, so i start shouting comon now, full reps ,all the way down, so he does, and promptly gets stuck at parallell.I had to lift him and the weight up and help him rack it.He shut up after that.

The_Iron_Game, why does it matter to you what people lift?? can't see the diff. if a guy is trying to lift 100 or 200lb.

And it is very hard for the guy. As long as he does the best he can I don't care if he makes some sounds...
But I can relate to some of those things guys are talking about

I have written this before in a post, but here it is again. The worst possible thing is having guys that really stink in the gym, put some fucking deoderant on bro, its just plain disrespectful. The really bad one is having some fat slob leave crotch sweat on a bench. Why the fuck do fat people wear such revealing clothing anyway!!!!This is why I created my own gym in my house. Its all mine and if you wanna train with the phenom you WILL abide by my rules. NUF SAID!!!!

The punks that stand around and talk for 20 minutes at the bench stations knowing you're waiting on them. I may come across as being rude when at the gym becasue I don't talk....the gym is not the place for this in my opinion....I come to lift.

WHAT I HATE ABOUT MY GYM!

What I�ve hated most about my gym in time,
I�ve put together in this nifty little rhyme!

Skinny little faggots, who think they are buff,
When I could blow them over in one little PUFF!

Filthy bastards, unshaven, and who smell,
I hope you all may rot in HELL!

Cocksuckers in spandex with their nuts hang�in down,
Put some sweatpants on, you ignorant fuck�in CLOWN!

Lazy pricks who lay there on equipment, thinking it�s fine,
I�ll stomp you through the floor, the next GODDAMN TIME!

Fat bitches with perfume, who stink up the joint,
Go back to the farm�.OINK! OINK! OINK!

Little Mr. Perfect, with Nsync playing up front,
Through the ceiling you go, your little ass I�ll punt!

If you bring your kids, keep them in tow,
Or out the window�.those little bastards will GO!

You took away my chalk, my heavy metal too,
Here�s what I think�..HEY FUCK YOU!

Noodle-arms in the corner, staring with a grin,
I�ll break your fuck�in arms, if you look at me AGAIN!

This is my gym, a home away from home,
Here I am KING�.The Iron Bar Is My THRONE!

When I am here, I�m in the zone can�t you see,
Don�t even think, of fucking talking to ME!

Go back to your classes, and your fat fuck�in wives,
Back to your hole, and miserable excuse for LIVES!

Leave me in back, where the Iron GODS TRAIN!
Don�t fuck with me again, OR I MIGHT GO INSANE!

What I am getting at is it is much better for him to use less weight and proper form rather than trying to lift heavy when his form is very poor. This is how injurues occur and all for the sake of lifting a few extra kgs.

I would rather press out 8 reps of 260lbs than 3 of 300 where I am using every bodypart possible except for the chest. I try to focus on makign the muscle group I am working out.

Not to diss the fine ladies here but ....
No matter how good looking she is, she does not have the right to do flyes with 10# weights on chest night at the gym in the free weight section. And in between her 25 rep sets, she sits and talks like Kathy Lee to every one. While guys around her are trying to lift, looking for a bench (like the one her phat ass is on) and lug 90-110 # way across to the other LESS sturdy bench.

And while she is phat, she will not ever put out, and then leaves her 10# dumbells behind.

Three guys had to use the same bench (i was doing rows, another pull overs, last flys) all the time she is sitting there.

Not one guy voiced out to the bitch. But we all had the same thought.

-Definitely those retards who think they can curl twice their bodyweight by completely snapping their body back and forth to get the weight up...
-tough guys who clang their dumbells together as HARD as humanly possible at the top of a chest press
-SHITTY ASS MUSIC! The other day the chick at the front desk was on the phone, totally not paying attention to the music. Friggin Faith HIll comes on. We all turn around, and look at her like, what the fuck? She doesn't even notice. So we all pretty much sat there and did nothing until the damn song was over.
-skinny pricks who where wifebeaters and constantly flex into the mirror
-fat guys who bring their fat girlfriends in and they do freeweights. Yeah, thats what you should be doing...just go home and eat that Big Mac in the fridge like you're gonna do afterwords anyway...stop using my weights.

I hate those fuckers walking around the gym with that very common and deadly disease----------I.L.S. Yes, gentlemen and ladies, I.L.S. It stands for Imaginary Lat Syndrome. That is something that igorant fucks in the gym catch after a set on the bench. They walk around posing as if they were competing. Get the fuck off it! Oh, and when they bump into you with their arms spread out and say, "my bad." That really fucks with me!!!

The other thing is the girl who thinks that she is all that and you won't look at her so she does more laps around the gym than fuckin' Jeff Gordon does in the Indy 500 to try to get you to look. To hell with em'.

Then, there's the fuck who thinks he owns the gym who: A. Gets pissed when you tell him you've got 1 more set left and B. Talks shit when you grunt a little on that 8th rep at 415lbs. (or whatever it is that's tough for you).

When I go for leg day I hate dragging 20, 25 45lb plates to the leg press and the drag them all back, hell I didnt come to do farmers walk I came to do legs! And the Little people who grunt when useing a 10 lb dumbell say "Your going to hurt yourself lifting that much weight" I have to say, Beat it before you get hurt! Bob

Social hour at the gym. This actually lasts closer to 4 hours and usually occurs between 5-9 pm. Millions of noisy people, chatting away, obstructing justice by mistaking the incline bench for an arm rest, and accomplishing a total of one set while spending 3 hours in the gym. I find nothing more distracting. Luckily I now have a flexible job and can train in the early afternoon. This has increased workout efficiency and cut the time I spend in the gym by about 1/2.

Guys who use the squat rack to curl annoy the shit out of me. Unless, of course, they can curl what I squat... I'll overlook it if this is the case.

We get a lot of people in the gym who are yuppies. Funniest shit that ever happened:

I was doing a chest workout. The flat benches were close to the nautilus style machines. This guy was in there in his completely designer workout clothes (complete with sneakers and headband) (He actually sneered at me for having a hole in my shirt!) and he was working out with a trainer. This guy was about 5'4 and about 140. The trainer has him do a set of bench press on the machine with no weight (so that little single plate is bouncing up and down). He does 10, and the trainer tells him there going to put some weight on. He puts the pin in so the guy will have to push TWO plates! The guy looked a little aprehensive, but he gave it a try and pumped out 9 reps. He sits up and goes "Man. HArd work" and the trainer says "Hey, you'll be doing 10 at this weight in NO time!" This guy, totally serious, looks the trainer in the face and says "Are you sure that's a good idea? My wife doesn't want me to get too bulky."

The trainer sends him to get some water and without a word turns right to my face and says "Not one fucking word. I can feel your smirk on my back..."

I guess the trainers get tired of it too!! HAHA

Iceman,

I don't get your story. The guy has every right to be concerned. One must be extremely careful when adjusting their lifting parameters, lest they should leave the gym looking like Arnold in his prime. That is what happens to people who aren't careful... Go on. Add that extra 2 1/2 lb plate; I dare you...

this happened last night....

im working my rear delts.. im bent over, looking at the ground, with dumbbells in my hand, bringing them back, working my delts.. and i hear someone hollaring my name. I keep going, and don't look up.. Once i finish my set, the guys like.. i've been calling you forever! I said i know, i was WORKING OUT! The guy sat on a bench and watched me do these. He waited till I started my set to try and ask me a question. Then after im done all he wants to know is.. "Does that work your lats?" I about rolled in the floor.....

Annoying people in the gym

1. the bench 'n curl crew
2. the four guys who come in, wearing boat shoes and slacks for crissakes, and talk & joke loudly as they all use the same machine.
3. the pussy who takes the preacher and puts it on the platform. they're for OL's and deads you fuck, get off my platform!
4. the 160lb jerkoffs wearing wife-beaters and benching ounces giving people 50+lbs bigger lip because they can get away with it.
5. the fucking pimp at the desk who doesn't care what happens in the gym
6. people who complain when chalk goes everywhere. it's chalk, it's supposed to go everywhere!
7. PEOPLE WHO CURL IN THE RACKS!
8. guys who do 15+ sets at one bench or with a set of d.b.'s
9. the little cunts who curl 220lb with everything except those hy-uge 15" guns.
10. everyone else. gym = work, not socialise, hit on, play, fart about or waste time.

People that almost kill me spotting me. One guy pushed me forwards in an attempt to help me on my last rep squatting once.
People that just use the gym to socialise.

Oops. So busy telling my story, I forgot the OTHER thing annoying me...

RINGING CELL PHONES!

There's this guy that somehow ALWAYS manages to get into the gym when I'm there and he walks around with his freaking cell phone (Be one thing if he was talking to his TRAINER!!) It's ringing all the fucking time. Geez, if you are SOOO important you cannot go to the gym for an hour, you can afford your OWN gym. About a month ago, I 'accidently' dropped a 110 lb dumbbell on it. Oops.

Things that piss me off

1) There's this guy, old, bald, skinny, hairy, and ugly. All he does is stretch, I crap you negative, that is all the motherfucker does. Different places, too. On the benchs, by the dumb bell rack, on the little blue mats they use in aerobics, every fucking where. I mean, WHAT THE FUCK?!

2) People that only show up on Mondays, right after holidays, or right before spring break.

3) Dickheads that get mad when you tell them you're still on calves with significant weight and they take your weights off of the machine rather than go get their own for the benches or wherever.

4) Old motherfuckers that just take up space on the track or wherever. They all just take up space wherever they are, anwway.

5) Dipshits that do machines completely wrong and never bother to ask for help. They just look stupid and don't know it.

6)Fat ass old men who have their butt crack showing and either don't know it or don't care.

7) GOD DAMN!! Just get out of my fucking gym and go home and eat potato chips where you belong, you fat fuck!

People that run up to you as you start using a machine and tell you they're right in the middle of a set. Burn-out heroin addicts that pester you to get them some juice. Fat old men in the sauna that check out your dick. People that show up juiced and don't pump iron. And finally women that an hit the stairmaster for an hour and a half and not break a sweat but when you try it your dying after 5 minutes. The scale thats alwayz off... Honestly!

people leave their bags on benches or equipment their not using,people i dont want to come off as rude if i ask them to use it,what i hate worse is when they say thier using it but there really not

people who try to tell u what to do ...usually weak old guys ,or skinny people under 150

Tonight in the gym I was doing bent-over rows... (not that that's relevant, but whatever) I finish my set , look to the left of me, and see four guys... Three of them are standing around in a circle surrounding the fourth, who is BREAKDANCING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GYM! Seriously, just spinning around on his back in the middle of the gym.

I almost shit myself laughing and I lost my concentration for my next set...

When idiots make it a point to tell me they benched this and they benched that when I know from observing them in the past that they are exaggerating by 50 lbs. I also hate hearing the bad knees from an old football injury as an excuse for never doing squats.

There is this fine woman at my gym. She is always starring at me, smiling, waving the whole nine yards. I don't want to stop lifting and have a 30 min conversation but today I was finished early and doing cardio lo and behold I was 5 steps away from walking up to her and this skinny geek comes up before I get a chance and says "are you ready" and leaves with her. Shot down by the enemy, man I went right over to the squat rack.
