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.

same here. I was going to put a sign on it one day saying, no curling the SQUAT rack. But, my boss stopped me, since the GM apparently curls in the squat rack
shirts are done. you can customize any way you wish (pics, text, color of shirt, style of font). you can even select rather than a plain t-shirt, they offer micro-fiber ones that are similar to under armor material

Spandex is a privilege not a right
If you want my advice it’s $50 an hour
If you work your ass off I’ll spot you other wise fuck off
I wear headphones because I DON’T want to talk to you
Yes it’s hard, or I wouldn’t be doing it! piss off
I’m here to workout not make friends
If I want your advice it’s still $50 an hour
I don’t care how much you press stack your weights
I don’t care how empty the gym is you can’t work three stations, get a life!
If you stink take a shower, lay off the perfume and cologne.
DONT DO LATERAL RAISES , one inch from the db rack. Especially the 120, 110, 100, 90, 80 ,AREA!
IS it that hard to step back?
This rule only applies to this time of year due to the new year.
#10. You are going to quit in a few months; why not just get it over with and quit right now?

This one pisses me off like nothing else. I am usually pretty rude to people who do this because I don’t like standing there holding two 80lbs dumbbells while some idiot finishes some exercise he just made up while standing so close to the dumbbell rack and the mirror that his breath is fogging it up. Some of this shit is just common sense.
We should really come up with another name for that because sense is no longer “common” at all.
“rare alertness”?
“infrequent clarity”?
“seldom thought”?
“temporary sanity”?

The term you’re really looking for is fractal wrongness.
Fractal wrongness :
The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person’s worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person’s worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.
Debating with a person who is fractally wrong leads to infinite regress, as every refutation you make of that person's opinions will lead to a rejoinder, full of half-truths, leaps of logic, and outright lies, that requires just as much refutation to debunk as the first one. It is as impossible to convince a fractally wrong person of anything as it is to walk around the edge of the Mandelbrot set in finite time.
If you ever get embroiled in a discussion with a fractally wrong person on the Internet--in mailing lists, newsgroups, or website forums--your best bet is to say your piece once and ignore any replies, thus saving yourself time.

Clearly your training is not functional enough.

Hell, I give him credit for using “Mendelbrot set” in a sentence.
Indeed, most guys would think a “Mandelbrot set” was some kind of training technique created by an obscure European gymnastics trainer or something.
Fuck fat fucks at the gym. Stay home and eat your potato chips. Fat bitches shouldn’t wear sports bras either.

That was pretty fucking stupid… Theyre at the gym to improve themselves, and feel better about themselves. If people like you are gonna make fun of them for it, then they wont improve. Read what you said, it wasnt pretty.
I agree with all the rules. haha hilarious.
Id say:
I have no problem with your appreciation for the ballet, but do not demonstrate your Pirouette in front of the mirror at the dumbbell rack… dude.
Please read at home… and take your newspaper with you when you leave.
Matching headband and wristbands are NOT cool.
Please don’t wear a weightbelt on every exercise.

SPAGHETT! You’ve been spooked, spaghett.
Seriously though, I am usually working to hard during my training sessions to notice others. The only time I’ve actually gotten pissed at someone was when some little turd came up to me after a set of good mornings to tell me how bad my squat form was…

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.

i do military presses and shurgs in the squat rack. no one will ever stop me.
my gym has a strict rule on that, its stupid though there should be 1plate a side on all bars at all times and dont fucking put weights back for me…if theyre on the ground that means im still usin em, douchebag.
not really. after i just busted my ass with whatever i did with them im not in the same physical condition as i was when i picked them up, and really who wants to put weights down gently after that?
ill stare if you wear a sweater over them. i think girls who dress wearing those sports tops and spandex bottoms with nice asses are just asking for it.
yeah, whats the deal with girls that dress like hookers then when you slip your finger down their pants they call you a pervert and slap you.

Yep. Anyone who does anything else is a moron. Go do your exercises somewhere else, I want to squat.
Thank God I go in the AM when there’s nobody around.
Yep. If you lift the of the rack, you can out 'em back.
I hate people who do that. Unless they’re on their last set. Then a bit of noise is expected, or I think “loser”.
Do I have to throw money at the weights?
Lol @ women who dress like whores and then get offended when guys stare. A GYM IS NO PLACE FOR A TUBE TOP.
