after my workout i was on the mats stretching. next to me, there’s a guy on an angle, taking up two mats. he starts doing these leg exercises, waving his leg around created a breeze, which stunk horribly like filthy crotch. i couldnt stay there i had to leave, i couldnt breathe in his nasty crotch fumes.

Dammit, ya beat me to it.
A consistent group of D-Bags continues to come work out with a guy who I used to think was not a D-Bag. Problem is, these new queens of douchbaggery think that they can just work with the same weight as everyone else is. Result= 1/2 reps on the bench with 225, while being “assisted” with a spotter for most reps. Ditto for the incline bench.
Doing shrugs the other day, one of the D-Bags (probably a good 40 pounds lighter than me) starts doing shrugs next to me, and proceeds to put 30 more pounds on the bar than I have on. Instead of doing shrugs, he does what I consider some sort of standing anterior shoulder movement. There was no upward movement of his shoulders at all, they only went forward, for about 4 reps.
Do I try to help these guys out by telling them they need to actually take some weight off the bar and do the movements correctly, or just let them keep looking like dipshits (to me anyway)?
Maybe part of it is that I get pissed off knowing that these d-bags think they’re stronger than they really are. Sometimes I daydream that maybe one day I will be asked to spot one of them on the bench. I won’t touch the bar until it makes contact with his chest (never happen). I will just let it keep going down until it rests calmly on his smooth, buttery soft throat, wait to see the fear of death in his eyes, then help him rack the weight. If only…

I could also see how that sentence may lead one to believe that I was attempting to choke someone with my trouser snake, in a romantic, angelic sort of way.
It gave me an opportunity to flirt with the hot receptionist Push, I thought you would have been proud!
Guy yesterday did shrugs in a way that can only be described as humping the bar. His shoulders and traps didn’t move, just his ass and hips kept thrusting against the bar while he held it. I don’t know if he’s going to call it back or what…
While I was training back yesterday a guy felt the need to come up to me and tell me he had a cousin who could dumbell row twice what I was doing (weight irrelevant)? I smiled and just kept rowing…

A ballet studio?’ So I walk up and ask him,‘Are you going to squat?’ and he says,‘Wut arrh jewgoeeing to do?’ and I looked at him and said,‘Um, Squats,’ So he stared at me while he walked away and I commenced to Squat my 280x8 by looking at him after every set just to make sure he knew why I wanted him out of the Squat Rack. But hey, he’s from another country that hasn’t seen this kind of equipment. These guys really don’t know what they’re doing in the gym. It’s just so sad.[/quote]
So funny that you posted this. The Ugandans crack me the fuck up every single day in the gym, I just stare at them because NONE of them have ANY fucking clue what they’re doing. Good entertainment in between sets though.
SOOOO TODAY at the gym, I observed a Ugandan at one of the Heavy bags set up in the middle of the gym…Now correct me if I’m wrong, because I don’t know a THING about fighting… but.
He was standing in front of the bag(his back towards it) and viciously thrusting his ass into the bag. Repetitively…over and over… I don’t think this is a UFC move. WTFFF???

I’d like something like this to happen to me just once, cause I’d definently have fun with it. I would have said something like, “Damn. Are you serious? You have to bring him here, I NEED TO HAVE HIS FUCKING AUTOGRAPH. RIGHT NOW.” Then I’d stare him down until he walked away.

Surprisingly similar to what happened to me today:
Me: Doing 3 rep breathing squats
Him: I’ve seen better,
Me: Me too,
awkward silence, I stare at him, he gets flustered and walks out of the gym

Unless the person saying this is a friend, and taking the piss, that is a really rude thing to say!
Anyway, somebody had moved the squat rack 6ft to the right today! confused the heck outa me
saw a man wearing spandex leggings with the skinniest legs i have ever seen, they were like drain pipes, doing lunges with horrible form while holding a band stretched between his hands over his head.
also a guy bout 6ft with decent upper body and tiny legs doing 1/2 squats with the tampon on the bar
I do not understand why some people cannot get a clue. There’s this group of d-bags that works out as a big group ALWAYS in my gym. I was doing squats and just finished a set. I went out of the rack just to press the restart button on my phone’s stopwatch (timing my rest period) and I looked at the rack, one of them was… I don’t know what you call them.
Basically, he was hanging from the squat rack but not really doing pullups. It was somewhere between stretching and desperate attempts to do a pullup. Basically hang then NNGGGGGGHHHHHRRRRRR (not going anywhere) followed by more hanging. I told him I’m using the rack and he just replies (with his middle-eastern accent) “I know I know bro, I’m using it now” and he ends up taking 3 minutes.
Now I just let this go because I was feeling nice. IN THE MIDDLE OF MY NEXT SET, THOUGH, HE STARTS DOING IT AGAIN. Even worse, HE STARTS SWINGING HIS LEGS AROUND. Now you have to understand, the prospect of having 250lbs on your back then BEING HIT BY THE GUY HANGING BEHIND YOU is quite scary. I told him AGAIN (while the bar was still on my back, lol) that I was using the rack. HE JUST SAYS “Yes I know I know, but you’re not using this part”. OH MY GOD.
To make it even worse his feet began to hit me. To make it EVEN WORSE THAN THAT… We have a dedicated pullup bar in the gym which nobody was using.

Why would you have patience for that kind of behavior?

DB hasn’t said it yet, so I will.
Slit his throat. Problem solved.
CarlosJesena, I honestly cannot believe you tolerated any of that, after [quote]I told him I’m using the rack and he just replies (with his middle-eastern accent) “I know I know bro, I’m using it now”[/quote]
this point. And it got worse, and you didn’t do shit? Seriously, grow a pair. I would’ve told that motherfucking bitch the hell off, that is rude as all fuck no matter WHAT the circumstances. On a side note, you were feeling “nice” in the middle of a squat workout? On top of that ball check, add in an intensity check, really man.
Also, it helps when you’re shrugging more weight than they can pick up. I have yet to see anyone “compete” with me once I move into the 500’s…
The most I really ever have to do is either look at them and grunt, or say “I’m using that”…have yet to have this fail me.
