Entitled, self absorbed high school athlete girl.(also known as Butterface amazon) Leaves 45’s on machines, walks away for 10 minutes, I use them and put them away, and she comes back all bitchy because “she was going to use those”. Put them back because I was a decent guy knowing she probably thought I did it because she was hot and was a born leader or some shit. (she looked like one of the Williams sisters except with the head of Forest Whitaker)

some chick did something like that yesterday.
She set up her seat about 2’ away from the 110-140lb dbs and processed to do 20lb seated OHP and take 5min+ breaks. Meanwhile I’m kicking around her fucking weights putting my bench and row weights back. Common sense? No, none.
people who OHP 20 pound DBs shouldnt be allowed in gyms

Beware what you say about the Tapout-wearing bros…you might just find yourself running your smart mouth, and then all of a sudden you’re wrapped up in rubber gaurd and your shit’s all omoplata’d or peruvian neck tie’d. That’ll teach you to fuck with a bullet-proof tiger.
One time I saw a dude with some venom shorts and tapout gear on and I rolled my eyes a little and this dude fakes a thai kick to my legs and I go to block it and then: spinning backfist! I thought I’d never back down but that dude really never backs down. That day I tapped out due to strikes.
The crazy thing is that most of these dudes don’t need to train because they are athletes. Athletes that will step the fuck up at any time and destroy anyone. These guys know the secret to winning, tapping people out, and scoring hot chicks and they will not share it with you because you are not an athlete like they are. If you were, you’d be tapping people out left and right. You’re sitting there training your ass off to try to be half the man they are while they size up your girl, giving her a look like ‘i might fuck that chick on an off night, she’s alright i guess’ and then staring you down like the straight pussy you are because there’s NOTHING you could do about it if they did decide to fuck your girl.
So yeah, in my gym I’ve been tapped out like maybe six or seven times total, been knocked out four times and tapped to strikes twice. It doesn’t bother me though, because everyone who wears MMA gear to the gym has the heart of a lion, the tenacity of a pitbull, the raw ability of a comic book superhero, and a cock like a Burmese python.
I guess if I were a guy at your gym, I’d be the guy who gets tapped out like once a month. I also drink a lot of water between sets. [/quote]haha fucking hilarious.
Today very cute ‘personal trainer’ training a 40 to 50 year old guy, not in shape, but not overly fat
and boy the only movements i could see was
tricep kickbacks with a dumbbell
way to go trainer!!!
I hate the fat kid with the sagging love handles, who wears a wife-beater, and tells skinny kids(who actually have a lot of balls for stepping into a weight room) how pathetic they are because they can’t curl 40 lb dumbbells with bad form.
Today I saw a skinny PT telling a huge dude the ‘proper’ form on pulldowns.
Also, I saw a giant pear shaped man walk in, stretch, do some sort of shadowboxing and proceed to flex in the mirrors for 20 minutes. Needless to say, he had a Tapout shirt on. /Facepalm
Captain Underarmour: Wears color cordinated underarmor EVERYTHING, everyday. Low b/f but small build, acts extra cocky when women are around. For his first set he always goes for a new PR, and typically does the worst form I’ve ever seen, on every exercise. Then proceeds to hurl weights when he’s done and screams on the last 3 reps, of every set.
Funny story though, me and my gym partner walk up to use a bench next to his, and ask him if he’s using it. He says no, but goes says “I call the 90’s” as if its a spectacular weight for maxing your flat bench. After he does 3 half reps screaming and throws them hard enough that the bounce would have broken someones leg, my partner grabs them, cranks out 12 on incline press to warmup, doesn’t make a sound, then slowly puts them away, just to make a point.

She’s so scrawny, that all her bones are showing, especially all the tendons and other stringy things around her neck.I always feel like buying her a sandwich.

I didn’t know that wearing color coordinated underarmor was an annoying habit - I do it all the time! I don’t go out of my way to coordinate, but my wife buys me my workout attire on her shopping excursions and wants me to look good. Haha, maybe that’s why the bench press crew give me dirty looks. I guess it doesn’t help that my workout gear matches my bright red Vibrams. I’m such a tool

I seriously think every gym has one of these! Not sure of her age but she sure as hell does hours upon hours of cardio, 0 muscle. Oh and I went to go into the steam room in the Ladies locker room before I jumped in the shower, only to find her in there spread eagle shaving her muffin. WTF…blarrrghhhhh
reading all these posts im really glad i dont live in california! no knock on cali but i am just from a small town in MN where we have just a bunch of local rednecks, so not too many “bros” where im at.
however in my gym we have bathroom guy…after every exercise he does he goes into the bathroom for about 5 minutes i have no idea whats going on in there but its a lil wierd, never drinks water during workouts, so i dont think he’s peeing, but he always wears a tank top and talks about how he wants to get huge, im guessing hes going in there to flex/pose in private, which is fine if you need to work on your posing but hes not a bodybuilder at all!
We also have “works out in swim trunks guy” hes just funny looking with all his flowery patterns on his shorts, and no netting in these shorts either, found that out the hard way…

See, I disagree. Everyone has to start somewhere. I was using the 20’s my first month. Better the novices at least get in there and try.
If you never increase your lifts, then certainly, some magical higher authority should boot you.

NO. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, I cannot accept that. Dear god, who the hell does that? I’m trying to imagine how I would react if I walked in on that and I just can’t. Ugh, thanks for the horrifying mental picture though, lol.
Can I work in guy: The guy that wants to work in with you, even though you are benching 375 and he 135. So you are spending a whole lot of time changing weights. This guy also becomes your spotter, making alot of noise and touching the bar, helping when you don’t need help.
The answer to can I work in: “hey, I’m just about finished, and then you can have it.” Then proceed to go at my own pace. He NEVER has the balls to come back and ask if I’m just about done.
Didn’t get the memo guy: the guy wearing the short, nut hugging jogging shorts that have been out of style for 15 years. Nuff said there.
Squatters right girl: The girl who sets up camp at the leg press. Does a set, then walks away for ten minutes, but has claimed this spot by leaving her water bottle, sweatshirt, and other items to protect her claim.

Yes, it is! Thanks!
Stinky Bosu ball Squatter…
Well…My friend and I witnessed the most terribly funny act ever. So I just finished a pr on deadlift and am getting ready for some weighed chins… My friends getting pumped and were just feeding off eachothers energy. This is 6am of course the time we usually go. Now we see this chubby probably 5’6 160 somewhat Asian looking male. Now he grabs that bosu ball and flips it upside down so the flat side is up and the ball part is resting on the ground.
AND HE PLACES IT INFRONT OF THE SQUAT RACK AND I AM NOT SHITTING YOU HE DID BOSU BALL SQUATS. He warmed up with 45s and did sets with 95. Than he proceeds to do dumbell flys on the bosu ball… By this time My friend and I have completely failed on weighted chins because of this MAJOR DISTRACTION!
About A week and a half after I saw him again. This time I left the small room where the power racks are kept and let him do his bosu ball squats. As I was about to walk in to finish my stretching in the room I see him squating 115 on the bosu ball going a couple inches above parallel. HE LOOKED SCARED SHITLESS and I say shitless because I came in the room and the big standing fan was on and turned to circulate. Which was odd because That hadnt been turned on when I left the room. Soon Was I about to face the most horrid smell ever… He shat his pants doing bosu ball squats. /thread True story.
Old guy
Hes 72 and was using the lat pull down for tricep pushdowns… there was 3-4 other tricep pushdown places open. He does shrugs going as fast as possible which is very funny looking. Erm I was doing flys with the 35 pound dumbells just working the muscle mind connection and squeezing Nothing heavy. And he intterupts to tell me that im doing 70 pounds and its really impressive. I didnt know what to say so i randomely blurted out some bs about him being in good shape for 72… My grandma at 87 has more lbm.
Fred
This powerlifter who broke canada powerlifting records twice at 22 and 38 in the 220 class squated 800. He helped me and my friend lift properly and do squats parallel and touch the dumbells to our chest. Been a great help but I rarely see him any more.
Skully
This huge guy whos always smiling anytime my partner and I walk by him. Today he winked at me I’m not sure how I felt but one day he patted me on the back and It felt so badass having a huge guy pat your back I hit new prs on every lift that day. Call him skully because he had a tuke with a skull on it and I dont know his real name.

Yeah it is…wiping their faces, silly! Speaking of, yesterday I observed the following creepy behavior: three HS or maybe college Freshman kids.Loitering around a bench(one of them actually did sets) the one kid had the cutaway shirt ala WWE Shawn MIchaels, albeit with a very average physique. From what I did see the only sets he did were super high paced sets with the bar only. He then spent considerable time in front of the mirror, checking him self out and touching various bodyparts ( i think mostly his hawt abz) No, really.
The best part came when he told his buddies “yeah, I can do (did’nt catch that part) because I have all this muscle now” Oofah. I actually laughed out loud when he said that and I was in the middle of my set, so that could have been bad. I think I may have hurt his feelings. Thankfully the Tapout and Affliction shirt guys were’nt there because I bet one of them would have put me in a triangle choke…or at least tried to hump my leg
