rdancer Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 I dont really work out in the gym, I like the privacy of my own home, and saving all my hard earned money instead of blowing it on a crowded gym membership. But I had the pleasure of recently visiting my girls gym recently and this one dood was bugging me for spots the whole time, he was obviously trying to lift to much weight, and he was in the process of hurting himself and injuring me. But I guess some other things that bother me:Guys droooling on older women ( milfs.) These women dont work-out they flaunt their stuff.Cheesy Music.Treadmill/Bike Hoggers.Parking.Membership Dues .Waiting for a machine to long.Sweat.Not enough Water Fountains.Not enough ammenities like a Sauna, or Jucuzzi would be awesome after a workout.

But I had the pleasure of recently visiting my girls gym recently and this one dood was bugging me for spots the whole time, he was obviously trying to lift to much weight, and he was in the process of hurting himself and injuring me. I will ask people for spots. On my final set I always go to failure. It is not that you are lifting too much weight. It is just that when you get to the end of the set you try to push 1 or 2 more reps. This promotes growth. But I try not to bother the same person too many times. Unless we are going back and forth spotting each other. My major PET PEAVE is people sitting on a machine bullshitting with another person. One should not have to ask a person to excuse themselves from a machine if they are not using it. Another was mentioned... Those sweaty fuckers who don't know how to wipe down a machine. People screaming across the gym to other people. It is very distracting. If you are going to converse... Walk over to the damn person.People who get in front of you while you are using a mirror during an exersize. People who do not offer to let you work in sets with them when they are on a machine. Normally I am not that stressed by this. I will move to another machine. But some routines I like to do in sequence. And it is not as if the other person is not going to take a 60 rest in between sets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideskies Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 it's a pain when people are lazy and inconsiderate and leave multiple weights on the bar after they're done with their sets... i'm talking a 45, a 25, two 10s, a 5, and a 2.5 on each side... also, when i'm trying to concentrate on my last set of some exercise and people around me are walking back and forth in front of me, making a lot of noise, throwing weights around and doing UNNECESSARY hollering and grunting (there are two men who work out around the same time as i do who literally yell before, during, and after each set), it distracts me and sometimes keeps me from being able to do that last rep. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wind up taking the 45s off the machines for the ladies because the person before was too lazy. So you push 500+ on the leg press. What is more impressive is respect the fact that when a lady gets on the machine, the last thing she wants to do is remove 5 plates from each side... Definately rude... When I am on the bench I will usually leave a plate on each side when I am done. Because the next person usually starts off with a plate to warm up or something. But it is rare when they use less than a plate. ALSO - People leaving Bars on the floor. Especially with weights on them... You don't have to be a cluts to trip over these fuckers. It happens to people ( and myself ) all the time. It is a serious accident waiting to happen. Respect your GYM. You are there almost on a daily basis.

wideskies Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 i leave a 45 on each side of the incline calf machine, because it's rare that people will use less than that... but seriously, if you're too tired after your workout to put the weights back, then you better start using lighter weights. leaving bars and heavy dumbells on the floor is really inconvenient for those of us who can't lift 160+ without straining something.

trancerxn112 Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 yea the whole cell phone things annoys the shit out of me... its like... r u gonna take up the machine for use during a phone convo? or r u actually working out??? The sweaty thing bothers me too.... theres a reason why theres a recording that plays that says "ATTN ALL MEMBERS... TOWELS ARE REQUIRED ON THE EXERCISE FLOOR!"blah. I hate when I go to a class in the gym and someone is in my spot im anal about where i stand during the class... cuz im in perfect view of the instructor and the mirror so i can see my form while working out. i get this uncontrollable anger when i see someone snagged my spot !!!

elementx Posted July 2 Author Report Share Posted July 2 I also cannot stand people that intentionally drop weights harder than they really have to. The only time I will drop weight is during decline dumbell presses and flat bench dumbell presses... But I do not throw them... And these same people bitch constantly wondering why dumbells are bent or broken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyckitty69 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 here's something i find utterly disgusting:people who wear the same gym clothes day in day out & sweat & don't wipe the equipment. so there is a build up of sweat and odour. are they too poor to buy just 2 shirts? the cdc should quarantine these disease reservoirs.people who wash their shirts but not their shorts. when every guy w/ a tattoo has that *same* stupid barbed wire tattoo, in the *same* place.people who won't get the living fuck out of my swimming lane and splash all over me.i hate it when bally's (they gym I go to) shows some halfway attractive people in their commercials and I never see anyone remotely close to looking like them.Originally posted by bodiii social gym rats... people who talk to me...
