If the gal is working out properly she shouldn't even THINK about makeup...I sweat so much none would last anyway. I saw some guy today there with the cell phone on his hip..I burst out laughing...that was right after another guy used the seated calf press machine right after me...tried to use the weight I did and couldn't move the damn thing....bwahhhaa...and I don't use that much either!! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Dont: wear sandals to work out in (i see it all the time) o and speaking of makeup, there is this one girl who comes to the gym, totally decked down. She wears spandex shorts and bra tops everyday, never with shorts over them! She does cardio the whole time...and 1 machine.. the lying hamstring curl..so all the guys will look at her ass, i assume... IP: Logged |

CJ: Wearin sandals in my gym is actually not allowed.  They'll ask ya to leave if you have jeans on when you're lifting. Sandals and shoes aren't allowed at all in the weight room.DON'T... -Say leg training is not important. -Train arms every day. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Amen moe. I don't mind the customary "sup dude, how's it goin?" greeting, but please don't try to strike up a conversation. A few weeks ago some guy was pinned under the bar (benching without a spotter, brilliant), so naturally I save the guy's life since I don't want his head exploding from the pressure and crap getting all over me. From that moment until the guy finally left he would thank me EVERY FUCKING TIME WE WALKED PAST EACH OTHER. Me: *puts dumbbell back on the rack* Gym = lift and shaddup. -Warik IP: Logged |

guys, i dont throw the weights but i do drop them frmo time to time, some of the small ppl dont do that on purpose, its just happens that we cant lift it anymore so the best thing to do is just drop it! You guys are always bad mouthing the little guys as if you were born big and strong and knew everything! It takes time for ppl to learn! I agree there are some ignorant asses but you guys look like you are talking about all the little guys in the gym who know jack shit about weight lifting! Just giving my opinion! IP: Logged |

I don't mind people dropping weights cause they've given it all they've got and they can't lift them anymore, but there are people who drop them as if it were a mandatory part of their set. I've seen some kid who has dropped his dumbbells on the floor after a set of CURLS. On the other side of the spectrum, there was this big guy who dropped his 80lb weights from shoulder height after a set of dumbbell shoulder presses. Wtf is that? He could have crushed some guys foot. If gym staff actually enforced the "do not slam weights," "please re-rack weights," "please wear athletic clothing" etc.. rules, then this crap would stop happening. -Warik IP: Logged |

Av: Don't take it personally. I don't. We fit into the stereotype of 'your small so you act tough and can't back it up', but if your on this site and contributin, you're movin in the right step to gettin big. My arms are pretty small and I wear sleevless tee's to lift. I get looks like "Why is the kid showin off arms he ain't got?" all the time. I shake it off cause I know I'm improvin, my arms are more defined then they were a couple months ago. People that give you those looks are obstacles. Translate my quote and you'll see what obstacles are. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Shit man i am 5'9 165lbs. I am a runt. It takes balls to goto the gym at 5pm on a monday when every body even the fucking girls have bigger arms then you. Everyone had to start some where. they may can say I am small, but they cant say shit about my form. Being small with good form isnt shit compared to being big with the arched-back bench press technique. ON with the pantera and in with the juice IP: Logged |

Don't come to the gym like it's a phucking fashion show. Don't dump your problems on others, especially me cause I don't give a crap. Don't ask for a god damn spot on the bench when you know you can't do it, this way I don't have to use all my strength to put it back on the rack. Do not, do not ask to work out with me, because I know you won't show up the next day. IP: Logged |

When you rack the weight, put it on the rack with the plate facing out. I am tired of smashing my fingers spinning plates trying to catch the lip to lift it off the rack.

Unload the plates when you're done using something. I hate it when I see a guy get off the leg press machine and then some girl has to unload 6 plates off each side to work out. IP: Logged |

DO NOT DROP THE DUMBELLS. If you can't put them down in an appropriate fashion, ie. placing them down without breaking or bending them, don't fucking lift that weight. Wipe off your sweat, I agree. Guys! Wear a pair of workout shorts over your spandex. Women! You guys covered the important gripes on that one. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I know a lot of you do this, but I hate weight belts and straps. Some people wear them all the time. It will do more damage than good. Cell phones and beepers piss men off. Using the squat rack for curls is a waste, and everyone doing bench all the time is sad. Also trainers that use machines, smith machines and do half assed squats "to protect the knees" pisses me off. also, little geeks asking and talking about supplements and not even doing the hard basic lifts. Not going all the way down in the squat pisses me off. Broads doing cardio all the time too. IP: Logged |

Superstar2b, can I rephrase what you said? It was wonderful! I was going to same the EXACT same thing! "DON'T leave a machine w/o cleaning your sweat off!!!! DON'T leave your gym bag Oh, did anyone say, DON'T LEAVE YOUR WATER OR Don't ask someone (especially after they've worked legs), "How are you doing?" If I'm leaning over propped up on my knees, then I'm probably sick from working legs or I don't want to be talked to at that point in my life. ;0 ------------------ IP: Logged |

I like Moe's idea, Don't talk to me, but especially when I'm in the middle of a fucking set. And tell me before I spot you on the bench press whether or not I'm going to be getting a deadlifting workout because your using 100 lbs more than you can lift. IP: Logged |

1)Don't come into the gym thinking and acting like you're the biggest f-ing thing on the planet - you are not!(and if you are wonderful for you) 2)Don't come into the gym wearing a wifebeater and proceed to "oil down" the exposed bodyparts. Nobody will mistake you for a serious lifter. 3)Don't carry aroung a big tub of protien powder with you along with your gallon of water while you train. So - do you want everyone to know you are"BULKING". Who fucking cares!!! IP: Logged |

I think people should stop worrying about others and shut the fuck up and train. Stop being captivated by bullshit. When your physique looks respectable,robotic or comic hero like then say something, for now learn to train and eat properly for a while then voice your opinion. ------------------ [This message has been edited by havoc (edited August 17, 2000).] IP: Logged |

As long as everyone is paying the same dues to be a member of a gym there rights to train are equal to all other members big or small. If anyone is bothered by that go buy your own gym. otherwise respect all...... IP: Logged |

My beef is when you are in the middle of your sets and some guy comes up and says "You shouldn't do that exercise, you should do this..I did it yesterday and I sure can feel it today" and then when you keep doing your sets he looks at you like you're some dumb fuck and is pissed that you didn't just change your entire routine on his wonderful words of wisdom.
