Oh, dude. Coffee almost came out of my nose on that one.
- DO NOT take plates off my bar when I am not there (because I am going to get more).
- When I am using a stopwatch, do not ask me to “work in.”
- DO NOT walk behind me when I am performing Olympic lifts.
- DO NOT ask me what I am “on” the answer is always food.
- Rack the weights in the right place.
- Quit telling me that I am going to low on squats.
- When performing curls, the floor is the best option for a rack.
- Never, never use the power rack to stretch when I am setting up for squats. (I actually had a guy come and hang from the pull-up bar when I had the bar on my back.)
- Bumper plates are meant to be dropped. If you don’t like the noise, spend your time doing something else.
- It is not necessary to grunt before, during and after each set.
lmao the nude guy in the locker room I would have knocked him out!
I cant say anything else you guys just about covered it all seriously lmao

Not to be confused with the Mexican Fucking Midgets, who are quite entertaining.
“If I want your opinion, I’ll beat it out of you.”
I was doing seated DB flys and these guys were standing right in front of me bullshitting. There was another incline bench about 2 feet to my right.
I’m about 5 reps in, and they decide to step right into the area just to my right in between me and the other bench…not 1 foot away from me. I slammed the right db into the guys elbow as he walked by.
I never paid attention to his reaction and continued.
-
If you are not showering or getting changed, do not walk or sit around the gym locker room naked for extended period of times
-
do not grunt/scream when doing machine pec flys.
-
do not emerge from the gym pool, enter the workout area, and proceed to start rinsing your mouth and spitting into the water fountain.
-
you must squat ATG or do box squats
-
do not wear backwards/sideways hats or tight-fitting designer shirts to the gym
-
DO not speak to me if either one of us is naked.
-
Wear a towel or some kind of cover for your ass to the sauna/steam room.
-
DO NOT EVER come into the steam room naked, sit down directly across from me, throw a leg up on the bench and start talking to me.

No talking, mindless chattering to your buddy, partner, friend…it’s so distracting…how the heck are you (or anyone else) getting a focused, serious work out with all the bleepin’ talking???
Question: what do you do if you walk up to a weight machine, and no one’s there, you start your reps…then Bruno walks up to you and stands there sweating and panting, “I’m using that…” Nice. I didn’t see anyone there, how do I not get bullied?
Yes, I am a woman, and being an ex-cop I don’t consider myself to be a push over…

Just say you didnt know someone was using it and ask if you can work in. If he’s a dick and says no kick him upside his head.
If he’s “supersetting” and didnt leave something to show he was using it its his fault. Same for going to get a 3 minute drink of water and talking to the gym’s attention whore. If he didnt leave a towel, his water bottle or something else, fuck’em.

Guys and Gals,
I want to have t-shirts printed for my friends and I with the a Gym Etiquette top 10. I need your help. If you’ve seen any of my posts, you may have detected a bit of my cynical, sarcastic, blunt, honest [@sshole] self. I choose to maintain that theme. Here are a few of my Top 10:
- Do NOT talk to me
- NO cell phones
- Wear deodorant
- Rack your weights
- 30 min > 20 min
- …
Please chime in. Thanks,
Bastard F*ck Guy[/quote]
I managed to get hold of this t-shirt that sums it up. It reads…
“Shut the Fuck up and Train”
Nuff said
Don’t talk on your cellphone in a rack that you are obviously not using.
(This one pisses me off at least once a week.)
11.back up from the dumbell rack while performing exercises
-
yield to the person carrying weights/objects
-
fill up your water bottle on the short water fountain only
Oh how I love working out at home.
My biggest peeve are high schoolers coming in, throwing down weights, dropping the cable weights 2’, and asking like their badasses putting up mediocre weights at best.
Also wife beaters worn by guys with 12" arms, and a 26" waist. Why?
I actually saw a guy sit an EZ curl bar on the bars in the squat rack to load his weights…I was speechless…
yesterday was leg day. Both squat racks were being used,and one guy was doing curls. I walk up and ask how many more sets he has, and he’s like 4-5, good grief. I would have asked how many sets he has left in the squat rack, but since I work for the gym, I didn’t want him to bitch about my attitude.
I’m making shirts for this crap, seriously.
doing a 10 commandments of the gym shirt. here’s what has made the list so far
- Squat racks are for squatting
- Curls are not squats, No curling in the f*%$in squat rack!
- Finished? Rack your weights
- Don�??t drop the DB�??s, if you can lift them, you can lower them!
- DB racks are like strip clubs, 3ft. rule strictly enforced
- If all you wear is a spaghetti top over your 36DDs, then, yes, I’m going to stare.
Oh, and by the way, thank you.
need 4 more
how about weight belt misuse. If you’re not a powerlifter, you don’t need a fricken weight belt
At my gym, both squat racks face a mirrored wall. Lately, I’ve been tempted to get a magnet made that reads “You should not be curling right now.” and slap it on there so the SRCers will have to look straight at it.
