People at the Gym :/

I've got a list! (cba typing it all though)

Top 5
1) PTs teaching poor technique
2) Half Squats
3) Back curls
4) People who hold onto the treadmill when they add an incline..!!!?£"
5) The pain in the ass manager who doesn't let you use the boxing ring for anything other than padwork >.<

My top gym hate is people who do a set every 10 mins and just dick around with their phones in between. Phones should be banned from gyms.

I noticed this today...one guy did 3 tricep pull downs looked at his phone did 5 bicep curls and then sat down texted for about 15 minutes and left :o

Pet hate is people socialising on the benches. It just seems to me to be extremely disrespectful to those trying to work out...while they also occupy space. I'm like the smallest guy in the gym:p but when i asked them to move to the seated area at the front they moved. One guy thanked me afterwards :o
 
Here's one of my pet-hates: people coming in before going to the swimming pool to grab a glass of water, already dressed in swimming gear/flip-flops. 'GTFO' is the typical thought.

Mind you, if it was women I would probably not be complaining.
 
Loads of my peeves have been mentioned, but one that does my head in. is one specific guy who ALWAYS drops his weights, or when using any of the machines (cable etc), just lets go of the handles fully extended, letting the weight plates clang. This ******* also then just leaves the free weights where they lay!

I also hate people who don;t put stuff back where they belong!
 
Supercrow, my favourite deadlifter does this with all sorts of weights. Yesterday he was doing DB shrugs with the 45s, and just dropped them from full height. The free weight room is upstairs and when I was downstairs the sound was so loud it made me jump. No need to dump 90kg of db on the floor. I rolled my eyes at a friend and said this guy needs to learn to control the weight and improve his grip. Although we both knew he was dropping it because he's an attention seeking ****.
 
I hate it when I get caught perving on birds wearing tight lycra, I get caught all too often :(

Some women wear it not out of practicality, but for attention, I'd no idea that lycra gym kit was meant to display such OTT cleavage, not that I'm complaining ;-)

If I owned the place, i'd give him a warning quite frankly, then a ban, stupid mofo.

Luckily the place I train doesn't really get anyone in there, occasionally some students use the room, but not a lot. Worst time was when they were all in there with a massive boom box and dancing around like little pansies while I was trying to do BOR's :o

Another time I came in and they were all sat on the benches...not even in training gear or anything. They then decided to be racist towards eachother (one was asian the other wasn't) then one of them decided he was black :o...Meanwhile, I'm deadlifting 2 foot away from one of them, queue me taking plates off the side and missing his feet by less than an inch :o He soon moved.

They get on my whack sometimes. The other day I was squatting and there a window right next to the squat rack =/...And guess where they where? On the other side of the window pratting around. I've asked for the window to be blocked properly (usually there are posters stuck up but they've been pulled down.

Bloody mongrels :p
that had the weighted collars on the floor for the squat rack, they were dismantled, it was ridiculous
 
I’m no beefcake or do I ever intend on looking like a beef cake. I tend to go to the gym and do mostly cardio but i would love to do some free weights mainly to achieve some definition but I find it so hard to do so with all the mirror hugging beef cakes in the free weight room.

Would be nice to go in and do what I want without being judged for doing it slightly wrong :(

Don't worry about the beefcakes, the more you get in there and just do it, the more it becomes easier.

Hell, I hate the idea of training with massive guys...Then last week some of the guys on here went to a well known gym with some pretty big guys in there, but you just get on with it. Hell, I was warming up with PINK dumbbells next to some huge mofo :D

If you are worried about form, get in the gym ratz thread or something and feel free to ask away.

Projecting your own insecurities there bro - no one;s judging you for going into the weights bit.....you only get judged for always sticking to the cardio! :D
 
Using one of the heavy medicine ball type things the other day and girl wearing hot pants and a sports bra is "getting stretched" by her PT on her back and hes pushing her leg further and further back, Desperately trying not to perv while not dropping the ball behind my head was very difficult :D
 
Nogi grapping with female counterparts gets some terrible looks....

I know how bad it can look being in guard but it's difficult to be thinking sexual when they're trying to break my arm :D
