This was awesome!
Hear me out on this one, not a fan of the hot chicks who come into the gym half naked to catch as many looks as possible. I am there to lift not get distracted by your insta booty.
how do you know they are there to catch looks? If it’s hot and the gym isn’t well air- conditioned, many females who are confident enough will workout in nothing but a sports bra and very short tights because that’s what feels good.
Whole lotta mindreaders up in here.
Whoaa! Hold up with that.
What?
Ah, nevermind.

Once a dude got all arked up with me over a machine. I was eyeing the machine, I think it was the last pulldown machine.
No one had been there for a solid 15 minutes but there was a water bottle next to the machine. Eventually I figured “the guy must’ve left it there”.
Boy am I in for a shock when some juiced up michelin man looking dude gets all pissed off with me because I decide to use the machine.
How can you leave a machine unattended for fifteen minutes, not be in the vicinity of the machine and not expect anyone to use it?
What? That’s preposterous, how dare they! The sheer audacity
The wanna be instagram models who tie up the gyms 3 squat racks (because each one must have their own rack) for 2 hours training nothing but their lower body everyday! Damn if your mama had no ass then you probably won’t either. Please mix in some upper body every now and then.
The people who do dumb bell curls or dumb bell rows right in front of the dumbbell rack! Move the fuck out of the way!
They guy who wears the same gym clothes everyday because who thinks advertising a nearby roid gym daily is cool?
The micro presser. Usually an older fat guy who loads the leg press to the max only to do a few reps coming down only about 1/2 each. Why bother?
The hot young babe who practically wear nothing but seem to get offended if I have a quick look see. Really?
The sweaty person who works out on a bench and walks off leaving it dripping with sweat like someone else wants to lie in that shit! Bruh, we have covid going on!
One thing that used to get me when I went to a commercial gym was the folks who used the one platform for anything but lifting.
Platform to stretch or roll, jog on the spot, skipping or shadow boxing/karate, calisthenics, kettlebell (I kinda get this one), as a landing platform to broad jump off a plybox (I kid you not), as a personal rave party dance floor (headphones on, dancing, singing and cheering).
Like most of those you can clear pretty easily but disturbing the rave guy… I ain’t risking that.
I dislike the looks I get and the weird vibe that happens when I get out of the shower, walk naked over to the wall mounted blow dryer and dry my scrotum the way the good Lord intended it be dried (by a warm breeze)
looks like you smashed that workout
I suppose this pet peeve might no longer exist, but probably did back-in-the-day. A blaring boom box!
I don’t know whether I heard this story from Pete Grymkowski or Jim Allen and I don’t know that it actually happened, but it sure made me laugh. It goes like this:
Robby Robinson was training at Gold’s Gym in Venice at the same time Ken Waller was training. Robby had with him his boom box cranked up near max volume. Ken told him to turn the noise down. Robby refused. Ken told him this was his last chance. Robby ignored him. Ken picked up a 100lb dumbbell, walked over to Robby’s boom box and smashed the dumbbell onto the boom box which silenced the music.
Good story
Its good to know that we all have the same issues with the same dumbasses everywhere
There seems to have been an explosion. That would piss me off too.
If you are there to workout then I am not talking about you.
It was a glass TV stand that was being stored in the garage while until i took it to the tip. It had been there for about 3 weeks until it decided that enough was enough and decided to commit Hari Kari. Not really my plan for my morning lifting session tonbe honest.
Can you confirm if the self reported insane gear stacks he used is true or not? IIRC, allegedly he used something like 10 grams a day of test, and dosed his orals not by mg, but by whole bottles of orals. I remember him saying he took like 2 bottles of anavar a day. I think he is still alive with a head full of hair which makes this hard to believe.
Awesome if true. My buddy trimmed Waller’s trees
