: Ok you girly men...it's time for..... GYM Pet Peeves!
SicShift 02-11-2004, 05:35 AM 1. Cell phones. WTF. I just wanna smash em with a weight.
2. This one guy who wears bycicle shorts and no underwear thereby showing every minute detail. Everyone avoids this guy like the plague. Don't look down!
3. I'm pulling into the parking lot and this guy is halfway down the row and trying to reverse backwards making me have to move my car back so he can get this spot that's closest to the door despite there being like ten spots 15 yards further where I quickly parked. This guy was lke 23 too. WTF!?!?!?!!? You're going to the fucking gym for god's sake! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
4. Guys who smell so bad your nose hairs catch fire. Why can't they just throw some arrid on?
5. People with terrible form and just yank the weights around in every which way but the right way.. (not really a peeve, I just want to show them what they're doing wrong so bad.)
6. Guys who will do every possible thing they can in the locker room before putting any clothes on. Why must you shave, brush your teeth, organize your stuff, trim your facial hair and everything with your shit hanging around? I don't want to see that and nobody else does. (except for fiddy)
7. You ever see those guys that have been going for years and are really buff but have a huge nasty gut and you never see them do any cardio and they never change? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
CHiPZ 02-11-2004, 06:03 AM Cell phones in the gym and people just wasting time talking and I have to wait to use a machine (that just pisses me off). Other than that I'm in my own zone and don't care what anyone else does.
-Cell Phones for sure...dammit your there to work out not Blab
-People who try and lift WAY too much weight and as Sicshift mentioned just throw it around, and yank it up http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bitchslap.gif
-People who take a bench or machine for long periods of time just chatting.
- Big Fuckers with attitude, actually have a funny story on that one, I asked a pretty big guy how many sets he had left, as I wanted to know if I should wait on him, or do something else...he looked at me like he was pissed, and just said Yah 30 sets http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Fuckin Smart ass (it was his last one)

me --> http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bitchslap.gif <--sicshift
reason 1 why i stay the fuk outta the locker room unless really necessary, i go to the gym in my workout clothes. i change and shower when i get home, benefits of working out in the evening and living within 5 miles of the gym http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/flipa.gif
cant stand people hoggin benches for doin their bullshit that they can do on the proper equipement, .. theres this big dude.. rather short and fat.. gotta have a 50-60 " waist http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif and he puts a set of wheels on the flat bench with the bar on the lower hooks. grabs the bar and proceeds to do leg lifts,, 1st of is wtf is he accomplishing by doing abs? hes got a huge gut,, hes not a powerlifter either. get your fat ass on the treadmill and do your abs on the ab equipment.. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bash.gif or this one broad,, shes got a bench in the power rack, only one with a mirror in front of it(other mirrors broke), doing some oddball arm exercises.. and reading a magazine at the same time http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif i go through hacks, a set of leg presses and warm up my hams, shes still there fukkin around,, finally ask her how many shes got left.. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wait.gif imagine that 1 set left http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wait.gif
another one is peeps who dont ask if the stuff is being used,, they just jump in change the bars whatever without asking any one around if its occupied,
or the guys who drag 4 sets of db's over to their bench so they can do their sets when its busy in the gym.. your in the gym, dont be lazy to go get the db's when you need them and put them back when your through with your set , not your routine.. other people would like to use them too... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bitchslap.gif
GdSaXnR 02-11-2004, 07:22 AM I thought it was just my gym where the dudes insist on doing EVERYthing bare ass naked. I love when they get on the scale bare ass naked but are still soaking wet from a shower. Like some fucking underwear is going to add that much weight, probably about as much as all the water that is now dripping all over the scale. They read the paper, sit there and BS, everything. Im no homophob, but Christ I am also not completely comfortable in a room full of naked dudes. There is an unwritten rule in this gym that when you walk in you stair at the clock on the far end of the locker room and don't take your eyes off of it. On the way out you act like you are trying to read the poster at the other end.
speedy_angel 02-11-2004, 07:41 AM Ok I'm not a man, but I am girly so I'll answer this...
1. People who grunt loudly like they are having sex while lifting. How necessary is that???
2. Women who get in naked in the hot tub/ sauna....absolutely gross (oh and we aren't talking like Pam Anderson, we are talking 50 year old grandmothers).
3. Fuckers who stare at your chest while you are on the treadmill....(like Fiddy and Sicshift)
4. Fuckers who try to spit game while you are sweating on the eliptical machine....get the fuck away!!!!! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
5. People who are too worried about your progress on the machine (calories burned, etc.) and keep looking over instead on concentrating on their fat ass.
6. People who have all their shit on the floor next to them...hello that's what the lockers are for http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bash.gif
Hey felt good to vent!!!

WTF. Aren't you at the gym to work out.
JRide6 02-11-2004, 10:06 AM People who put their whole back into curls while standing up. WTF is swinging the weight up doing for your biceps.
This guy who jumps on every different machine there is everyday. He also like to "jump in" constantly. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wait.gif
Pretty much the same as the first just with everything: people who have no form at all and just throw weights around.
oldgixxer 02-11-2004, 10:45 AM Everybody hit at least one point,but here are a few more.I'm sure you can relate:
-The high school kids that watch the big dudes train,and then do the exact workout,rep for rep.Were talking 20 sets for bi's,30 sets for back,etc.

-the guys at the squat rack that load up the bar with 495lbs,and un-rack it,but only squat down 2-3" at the most(fiddy)....wtf are you thinking dude?I want to walk over and as they start to squat down,PUSH THEM ALL THE way down and see if they can make it back up http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif
-all the dudes that wear wife beaters(fiddy)and strut around the gym with their lats spread so wide I wanna ask them where their luggage is that they were carrying....
-The guys that insist on putting 315 on the bench,(when they would be lucky to do 225 for 1 rep) and have their partner spot them for 10 forced reps.Although the training partner is doing one helluva set of upright rows for his shoulders http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
-the guys that load up the leg press(fiddy)and refuse to remove all the plates when they're done and assume that the next person would be honored to do it for them.
-fat fuckers giving dieting advice
-Etheopians(sp)telling you how to get huge
-People who use wrist wraps for pushing excersises. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gifdo you really need to wrap your wrists to the bar in order to bench????save them for shrugging or pulldowns jackass http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

2. talking
3. there's this one guy that goes to the gym that walk around arms all spread out like he has huge lats and hella buff, but he's not. Does one set, drops the weights and walks around the whole place, then back for another set like 5 min later.
4. naked guys in the locker room, same reason that was already posted
5. people not re-racking weights.
6. guys that look in the mirrror and flex when they have nothing to flex, or when they lift up their shirt to look at their flabs.
many more thats just all i can think of right now.
Ricerockt 02-11-2004, 11:06 PM The Top Ten List
10) People who insist on not wearing deodorant. You know there is that one guy at every gym.
9) The guys that drag out the 100 db's only to leave them on the floor because they can't physically put them back.
8) The people that come in for one month of every year (January to Febuary). Nice Resolution.
7) The old people that complain about listening to anything other than Kenny G on the stereo.
6) The sweating peeps that don't wipe off equipment.
5) The guy that doesn't use the barbell clips on bench and can't control his weight, drops a plate off of one end and nearly flops of the bench.
4) The grunters. Come on every rep does not require a grunt, especially when your throwing around 35 lb db's.
3) Gym's that don't open until 6am.
2) The talkers, always talking about how they spend 2 hrs in the gym, but don't get stronger. I wonder why.
1) And the number one gym pet peeve; People continually asking how much you can bench.

3. Gay guys checking you out while your doing squats, it just doesnt feel right.

5. people spitting in the water fountain.
6. people cutting you when they see you waiting for a machine, which warrants a backhanded pimp smack.
7. dude wearing watermelon stripped bicycle shorts and fuckin tanks that have their diamond cutter nipples free so everyone can see them, I DONT WANT TO SEE A MANS NIPPLES WHILE I AM WORKING OUT.

Gixkid600 02-12-2004, 06:14 AM People who insist on doing ten sets with like 5 pound plates on each side
People who bench like 185 and swear to the good lord above their the strongest thing walking. And make a point to make sure everyone else in the gym thinks so to.
People who make up their own exercises when they cant do the ones that already exsist http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif
People that have to talk to EVERBODY that walks in the door.
People who lie about their strenght. . . didn't you say 225 yesterday?
It's a locker room and I understand nudity is commonplace, but when you see me trying to get to my locker do you think you could cut your conversation a little short.
people who wear jeans and boots etc in the weight room. At least look like you know what your're doing.
I could go on forever. . .

I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Even better is at my gym there is this woman that would stare at me ALL the time, she was a bitch and an ugly one to boot! Well one day she walks up to the tredmills with her head held high and gets on right next to me (there were about 15 open machines http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif ) She gets on and doest even warm up, she sets the incline to 5 and pace at 8 and starts running http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif At this point it was VERY necessary to look and see how long she lasted........................ 38 seconds http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/spit.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I couldnt help but chuckle she got off like she meant to just do 38 sec. on a machine and went into the locker room (probably to catch her breath) http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif Losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bash.gif
Also the cops that come into the gym and find it appropriate to chit chat while Im running http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/nono.gif This one guy asked me my life story before I decided the work out wasnt worth the misery of listening to the freak.

Sun Burn 02-12-2004, 01:09 PM Pretty much everything everyone else said and this:
Those 40 year old rich broads that have flab all over the place with huge fake tits and colagen lips and couldn't give two shits about lifting weights but they're in the gym everyday with some young ripped trainer guy just so they can go to the club to tell their friends how "Ricardo" would make such a better husband than her own. Even though her man is paying 50 bucks an hour for "Ricardo". You guys know the chicks I'm talking about. They just take up space and equipment.

That can be changed my friend. They were probably your size once too. Rome wasn't built in a day. One day you'll be the guy people hate.

Steve Strange 02-15-2004, 04:25 AM You guys have pretty much covered everything, I'll just add another 3.
1. Gyms that insist on playing hard core techno music at max volume
2. The gym mafia, you know there's always a group of 4 to 5 guys who think they're the biggest and baddest things on earth
3. Guys who insist on standing right over you while they are waiting the use the machine you're using

Good for you if you can do it, but it just doesn't work for me.
I've had my own private gyms to myself when I was working there and could work out in an empty spot whenever I wanted. however, I always get a better workout when there are other people around me and more stuff going on. I like to see other guys in great shape as they motivate me and of course good looking girls in there remind me why I'm there. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Skibo 02-15-2004, 04:09 PM The big fat dude on the tricep pushdown machine using his whole upper body to push down the entire weight stack. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bash.gif
Obviously you guys have covered pretty much everything but I watched a guy yesterday that made me have to add to this thread. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Basically, this little 115 lb. 45+ year-old freak comes in fuggin excited about lifting. It was like he stood out in the parking lot taking adrnaline shots before entering the gym... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif Anyway, he sits down all pumped up and beedy-eyed to do wide-grip lat cable pull-downs and puts about 150 pounds on the machine. It took everything, and I mean EVERYTHING the little guy had to pull the damn bar down to forehead level. It wasn't pretty... He was using ALL his bodyweight AND his back and still is only moving the weigh about 40% as far as he should have. The freak does about 5 reps and then lets his legs out from under the restraint bar and the weight swings him up in the air where he hangs momentarily and then jumps down and looks around flexing like he's some sort of bad-ass. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif I couldn't help but look around and everyone in the gym is giving this guy the ---> http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif.
Keep in mind, this was his first exercise... you should have seen him doing triceps. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Obviously, the twirp stayed away from the free-weights because he would have definately hurt-himself. Ya just can't fuck around with real weight like you can the cable-machines. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Boston750 02-16-2004, 09:36 AM ya i couldnt say much more then whats been said but today in the gym...this one kid was just an idiot, started in the parking lot with him going back and forth in front of a spot like he couldnt decide if he should pull in or not, he walks into the gym about 10 min after me and my roomate do, even though we pulled in at the same time, and he just walks over and starts socializin with his friend....then he walks around the gym for awhile looking at what everyone is doing...like hes tryin to figure out where he is and what the hell hes supposed to do with all the equipment....now this kid wasnt big, but wasnt tiny prob a typical size 18 year old, he was prob 20-22 though, and all he is doing is bi's, thats it nothing but his bi's...well that and walking around looking like he didnt know what to do, and talking on his cell phone, when he was doing curls he walked over to the preacher bench, and sits on it backwards and starts just doing seated curls...why sit on the preacher bench for that! and not only that starting from rep 1 he was pushing the arm with the dumbell up with his other arm....and struggling with a wopping 20lbs, ive never seen someone struggle so much or look like they are trying so hard on such a light weight, my 5'2 sister isnt even that weak...that kid just pissed me off
Boston750 02-16-2004, 09:38 AM oh ya, theres another guy in the gym too....fat guy, puts on real heavy weights on all the machines in the place, never does free weights, and does as many reps as he can as FAST as he can, not usin any form or anything...the guys back almost hits the floor when hes doin pulldowns, he does this everytime i see him too one day somethings just gonna break in half on this guy
