A lot of people here are way too focused on what other people are doing at their gyms. As far as I’m concerned, if it doesn’t get in my way, I don’t care what the fuck anybody else is doing. 65 lb. curls in the squat rack; 20 minute sets of 10 lbs on the hammer strength machines; falling asleep on a bench - hell yes, gym crimes. Watching your own DVD while doing cardio, who cares.
Gym crime…back when we trained in the 80’s we were all guilty. I loved my Popeye Pants with my red and white high tops tucked into my Socks and my Pink T Michael, I miss the Boat necks.
I committed a gym crime last week: breathing.
Between sets of squats, someone came up to me and asked me not to breathe so hard.

The gym I train at has a sign above the Squat Rack that some one just wrote out with paper and a marker that reads: Unless you are Squatting:any variations, Military Pressing:Strict or Push Style, or Curling over 225 stay the hell out of the Rack.
I will post a picture as soon as possible i love the sign.[/quote]
thats fucking awesome. i thought i was going to have to make one and put it in the racks for all the january joiners, but honestly i havent seen any at the gym near the weight equipment. if there is a dipshit curling in the squat rack and there arent any free i ask them why the arent using any of the pre loaded curl bars.
the only time i had a problem with a january joiner was when i was in between deadlifting sets w/ 405, went to get water, came back and some dude wearing those stupid american eagle brown boots, jeans, and an underarmor shirt was kicking my barbell around, and then lifting trying to lift up the side of it to see how heavy it was. fucking weird.

you’re right. it’s not my business that this waste of space spread himself out on a mat to watch a movie at the gym. maybe i should have curled up in his many folds to watch it with him.

Wow. Was he doing that for long or was he just messing around with it? He doesn’t actually have any weight on it…

Call me crazy, but if that thing had adequate back and neck support, I would be all over it.
Would allow me to use a high weight in a ‘close-grip bench’ like motion, and allow hand placement similar to a suicide grip (no gripping), which I always feel better in my triceps, but am ‘deathly’ afraid of doing maximal weights with that grip.
im not sure but i think he did 3 or 4 sets before that. there he had one 5kg plate on each side. i saw him doing some decline presses with ~60kg afterwards so i guess he isnt rehabbing or disabled (err, well…).
That’s retarded…or is it?? Ha. At least there’s an open leg press right next to it, so he’s not hurting anybody, except himself. Now here’s the real question…if there WASN’T an open leg press machine, and that was what you needed to do, would you grumble about it and find something else to do? Or would you tell the guy, “Sorry buddy, but you gotta go, I need the machine for what it’s intended for” ??

now i dont want this coming of as wrong but this is a true story. I hod a membership to a major gym. It had everything. Pool sauna you know the works. Well this one day i had a major cold and thought i would go in the sauna to try clear out my nose. well after a couple minutes of being in there by myself with my IPOD on a guy comes in and sits right next to me. Thought it was a little odd but let it go .
so i was siting there with my eyes closed listening to my ipod right. when i get a tap on my shoulder. When i open my eyes the guy next to me is naked and when i take my ear phone off he asks “i bet you got a nice cock under them shorts”. I lost it and punched the dude square in the face and left. I didnt know what to think. I mean i didnt know saunas were a gay sex hangout still. I thought that was like the in the 70’s.
To make a long story short i have not been in a sauna since and cancelled my membership the next day. has this happened to anyone else or am i the only one???[/quote]
I think some guido just wanted to give you The Situation.
I’m kind of glad I read this, I’m never going to go to a sauna at a gym.
[/quote]
am i the only one that saw this as dumb?
a dude comes on to you, and you assault him, cancel your membership, and are traumatized?
LOL.
To keep this simple, I’m not gay, but i do believe in equal rights. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just say, “I’m not gay” and leave?
Him coming on to you means he considers you at least sort of attractive maybe? so just take it as a complement, or just suppress the darn memory, regardless, resorting to assault is just to damn far man.
[/quote]
LOL.
First, the fact that someone even came onto the guy like that means he must not look too intimidating. I personally can’t imagine something like that happening to me, but I sure as hell wouldn’t waste my energy trying to kill them. Not to mention that I have no doubt they would press charges if I removed some guy’s face for making a comment. How insecure about yourself must you be to react like that? His comment may have been offensive…but that poster rearranged his entire life and changed gyms because of it.
Fucking LOL!
I am confused as to who is the pussy in that situation.
[/quote]
oddly enough im not a small guy. I’m 5’9 225pds and covered with tattoos. I never cosidered myself homophobic. I have gay relatives and friends. I didnt really think about hitting the dude it was just a flash reaction. I think it was more the situation because i was taken way off guard. As for those of you who think being big means your not gay must be from the sticks. Cause in the city half the big guys in the gym are gay! wasnt there an article on here about gay bodybuilders??? As for striking him its not as if i stomped on him till his skull was pulverized. i just punched him in the face and left. i was just joking about the tramatized thing though i dont really like the big gyms anymore and am nuch happier lifting in the ghetto with the rusty dumbells and duct tape benches.[/quote]
Ok then, I take it back OP.[/quote]
fuck that shit man! look, if you walked in to a sauna where some good looking half naked girl was minding her own business and you sat right fucking next to her, whiped out your dick, tapped her on the shoulder and said hey i bet your pussy tastes good. you would get punched in the face and you would deserve it. mabey .5% chance you get a blow job. whether your gay or not has nothing to do with the fact that this was a totaly inapropriate way to behave. point is this mother fucker knew exactly what he was doing and he was either going to get a cock in his mouth or a fist in it and either way i guess he would get what he deserved.

Why don’t you just give the guy who made the video the benefit of the doubt and see that yes, it’s retarded. No need to be one of those college-types who argues every point and defends things that are stupid just to look open minded.
how do you have time to snap pics in the gym?

Read much? I’m not defending the guy’s choice of exercise dummy, he could be doing finger pushups for all I care as long as there’s another open leg press right next to him. My point is, who cares what every dipshit is doing in the gym as long as they are not getting in your way.
And again, I’m asking a question, to the guy that took the picture, or anybody else… If in this situation you actually needed THAT machine, would you tell the guy to bug off, or would you go find something else to do?
And why the fuck would I give anybody the “benefit of the doubt” anyway? Then I’d have to give it to you too, another retard.

ya. you should be lifting heavy things non stop. everyone knows real bodybuilders don’t notice people doing stupid things in the gym…
i saw a man doing yoga in the middle of the weight room. cannot ignore.

Wait, wait…you would have done the same thing as the guy who got naked, or as the guy who did the punching?
