Recent annoyance: Shrugs in the power rack. Get a barbel and deadlift the damn weight.
I need my power rack for more important things.
(EDIT: The guy was shrugging 135lbs… jerk)
Had a screamer today.
Trying to do shoulders and its kinda hard to concentrate when the guy next to you sounds like hes 5 seconds from orgasm while doing skull crushers with 60 pounds.
Also had a chick almost pass out on me, she was trying to do some barbell squats after she did some pretty heavy cardio (she was sweating hard).
She almost fainted I think because shes was kinda see-sawing back and forth trying to balance, so I walked behind her and lifted the bar off her back.
After about 5 minutes of laying down she was fine.
If I didnt know her boyfriend I would have asked her out right there.
How many of you squat till you passout ? Didnt think so.

The same damn thing happened in my gym 2 weeks ago! A guy didn’t know I could hear him as he said " You rock!" to himself after tricep pressdowns, about 8 reps I guess at 100lbs on the stack. Ugh.
My contribution:
Breathe when you lift and DON’T make piston sounds like you’re the little engine that could!!

I thought of going over, breaking out a pair of 2#ers, standing 4" from the mirror and pulling off a set of grunting, reverse-grip power cleans (bicep curls w/ body english) but I figured that he m i g h t get the idea that I was mocking him. Perish the thought.

lol me too, but thats not the point, Ive never seen a girl do that before, and I was incredibly turned on.
So yes, Ill pick you up at 8.
Guy at my gym must get 50 text messages an hour, not only is it not on vibrate but the volume is cranked. It may be hard to believe but when you’re pulling as hard as you can and a 110db beep suddenly echos though out the gym, that’ll break your concentration. Leave the damn phone in your car, at the very least put it on vibrate. Ass hat!
Do not say my vibrams look funny after awkwardly staring for 10 minutes.
You see the 150 lb dbs in my hands? They are not for decoration, get out of my way.
Please be understanding if I accidentally stare when you are doing stiff or romanian deadlifts in shorts that would put Daisy Duke to shame.
something my friends always believe in:
Go hard or go home!
^new thread?

- do not speak on your phone wihtin ten yards of me
- do not ask me how many sets I have left
- do not ask me what my favorite songs to lift to are
- do not offer to spot me
- do not ask me if you can “work in” with me
- do not offer me any advice
- if you violate any of the above, DO slit your own fucking throat
-Keep your music to yourself.
-Keep your hands to yourself.
-Keep yourself to yourself.
-If your not grunting,your not trying.

Without #5 you’re a very angry person, but I understand where you’re coming from. With #5 you’re a complete dick.
This probably wouldn’t make the list but for some powerlifters with PL equipment in their gym, I got one
-If you are in the powerlifting room on my squat day, and you want to use the mono lift for walking out weights and doing half squats…GTFO there’s 3 other power racks! I use the mono rack for its purpose!

Fuck off and die. I’m the nicest motherfucker you’ll ever meet.
Holy fuck, this thread got bumped again.
And just for the thread…
“If I don’t know you I’m not taking my earphones out/off to say a word to you. I’m not good at reading lips either.”
I missed this thread before, left a rant about the eecsh guy… makes that noise for very f__n rep and every exercise. frisbee toss a plate at the sonofa…
I was doing single leg calf raises with 100lb dumbbell on the steps once a fat bastard tried to squeeze between me and the handrail instead of waiting until I was done or walking 20 feet and using the other stairs. I had one leg off the ground and the other one I was on my toes, Fat Bastard bumped me, lost my balance and dropped the weight, I was a little belligerent after that.
One of the “personal trainers” that work there stood 5 feet away and watched him do it… douche
