wait till i meed u in a dark alley. i know a guy that guards half a door that will kick your ass!
whats my bf? I have great traps, i should’ve been promoted.
My gym is pretty decent for all this kinda crap. No one really uses the rack, the owner has a sign on the comp bench that says
“Do not use this bench - Do not sit on it, put things on it, look at it or even think about my bench, and dont even think about thinking about my bar” (He just bought a Texas Power Bar, as well as Texas Squat and DL bar and is a little precious about it)
We have loads of cool little notes like that. We had a polite notice reminding people to put DB’s back properly. When they ignored him, the following notice went up by the rack
“To the numbnuts who cant get it right, QUIT FUCKIN UP THIS DUMBBELL RACK, PUT YOUR WEIGHTS BACK WHERE YOU FOUND THEM YOU IDLE PRICKS”

I hate when people do this. Irritates the shit out of me - I could be on my last set of 5/3/1 completely focused on lifting the weight as best as possible, as soon as a single rep slows down slightly I’ll randomly feel some bellend’s palms pushing on my elbows; If i have to shout at them to let go it’s going to put me off.
Sheesh… Sounds like a lot of you need a hug.
I’m sooooooo glad I workout in my apartment for this reason alone. I might accidentally piss someone off by not putting a plate away in an exact and precise manner. Then I get stabbed in the parking lot for violating some unwritten gym ettiquette law.
“That asshole put the plate away with the number facing inward! Rrraaaarrrgggghhhh! I’m going to fucking KILL HIM!”
if you dont want to rant about irritating people in the gym… why choose this forum to read… out of all the choices, why this one.
I’m in Squat Rack last week testing my lifts for this weeks PL meet. The problem is the Squat rack and smith machine are close to each other and have handles for the weights. This Azz clown squeezes between the length of the Bar between me squatting in between reps and the guy next to me doing military press to grap a 10pound weight from my tree.
I immediately yelled, “Get the Fuck away, and wait until I am finished before I drop this weight on your fucking head”.
Needless to say, I had to report to the gym manager and some Major to explain why I said what I said and how this idiot, who was an officer, did not recognized ORM principles and safety. I could have fell off balance and dropped the weight on him. Or he could have bumped into my bar while I am in the hole or descending and I could have hurt myself because he needed a 10Lb plate.
Conclusion, a slap on the wrist from the Major and told to control anger and a formal apology from the azz clown who could have got himself hurt.

Haha don’t you love politics at military gyms? Apparently rank takes precedence over common sense. Though I lol’d at your strategic use of ORM to your benefit.
If you are going to skip rope, please do it somewhere other than a high traffic walkway or infront of the squat rack. Also, I have no problem with crossfit, it is not my style of training but please refrain from strapping your gymnastic rings to the only power cage in the gym.

The opposite is also just as annoying and potentially dangerous. People don’t know how to fucking spot someone. How you spot someone who is grinding out high rep DB flies and has run out of gas is different than someone doing a maximal bench press of like 3 or 4 reps.
I was going very heavy for me at the time and I asked a guy for a spot. On my last rep… it comes to a screetching halt. I’m stuck there pushing as hard as i can as my “spot” just yells… “its all you”… “you can do it”… now I’m talking I’m stuck in the middle for like 3 or 4 SECONDS… and the guy just keeps “encouraging me” to the point where the bar is starting to creep down the other way.
he doesn’t decide to help until its just about back on my chest again… and he is taking a little preasure off but not enough for me to actually lift it as he keeps telling me i can do it. So now I have to grind this rep out as well after all that. i just about killed the guy when I was finally free. My shoulders felt GREAT after that.

I was skipping away from traffic, yet still some silly cow walks directly into the rope and gets deservedly whipped in the side of the face. She somehow decided i was in the wrong regardless of the fact that I had been skipping in the exact same place constantly for 5 mins.
How about the idiots that look at you every ten seconds like your going to eat them.
Then the skinny fucktard that trys to alpha you on everything your doing in the gym by trying to work in.
I know this will sound gay, but here goes. I hate women in my gym. Yup I said it. I find them distracting from lifting heavy cause I want to look at them. Lots of teenie 20 somethings in tight clothes walking around needing to feel special. I want to lift with no distractions. Not watch some little girl look hot in her new yoga pants who crave attention cause there boyfriend treats them like garbage. I totally agree with separate areas for women and men.
The only co-ed parts should be cardio areas. Then looking is just something to pass the time while you work at the hamster wheel.
I’ve got two…
-
Don’t ask me about my workout program. It was designed for me by people who have the letters ‘phd’ after their names in the signature block. It was designed for ME, to correct an injury, to get ME back to competing level for MY sport.
-
To the ratfaced chick who complained because we moved the good girl/bad girl machines in front of the cardio machines for motivation and to give us something to talk about - I hope you have fun playing by yourself forever, you should’ve enjoyed the attention.
