i got a couple
1.Stop staring, reminds me of your mother last night.
-
I’m here to exercise not socialize.
-
If u need a mirror to see your toes u should not wear spandex, yes that means you fat biach.
i admit, i don’t like staring at some people’s choice of attire either, but bottom line, that’s their choice, and if you’re there for the right reasons, you should be focused enough to not be bothered.
- smell yourself and fix the problem
- don’t ask to “work in” if it’s gonna piss me off.
Just joining in:
-
use the biggest plates possible (this after seeing some guy benching with 5 x 2.5 kgs plates on either side of the bar. Yeah, 5 x 2.5 kg = 55 lbs on the bar)
-
“No busco entrenedor.” - I have to use this on a regular basis. Since EVERYONE has an opinion on what I should be doing.
-
Headphones! Because I Don’t Want To Listen To You.

That depends on what your goal is. I don’t do heart thumping cardio anymore and i’m bigger and harder when i diet. I don’t talk on the phone I leave it in the car. But I do talk to the people around me.

I second this motion to ban fat people from spandex or halter tops.

Sorry about the flame, but man, spit in the washroom if you have to…

Mcbain, I’m going to have to respectfully dissagree. Where else am I going to spit? I’m not going to walk all the way to a washroom when I have to make sure my squat rack doesn’t get stolen in the process. I’m a backwasher and a drooler. I’ve tried incessantly to get spit buckets placed throughout the free weight areas of my gym but to no avail and they removed all of the potted fake plants. Most of the time I use my own waterbottles and usually end up drooling on my shirt. Just can’t help it sometimes. If you can’t handle the spitters I recommend working out at the old folks rehab pool with little old ladies.

How 'bout you’re both right and you’re both wrong. When I used to belong to a gym, I would spit in the drinking fountain, but I always made sure that what I spat out went down the drain. I think as long as you do that, who gives a damn if you spit there?

How about you create 2 types of shirt. One would be specifically worn in the weight room and the other in the locker room. For the locker room print this:
“Don’t dry your pubes with the hair dryer”
Then again pubic is a hair!!!
I think there should be 1 rule, really: Don’t be a pig. Clean up after yourself, and all is cool.
Some of you T-Nationers should consider removing that pickle up your rears. Fat people wearing spandex? Who cares. A person actually talking to you during your workout? Get a grip and get a life. Maybe they have a valid question, and what makes you hot shit anyways? Someone not working hard? How exactly does that inconvenience you? Of course, if it’s a hot chick committing these trangressions, all is forgiven. Self absorbed hyprocrites, a whole of you. Someone curling the squat rack when no one else there. Who cares, maybe have a chat with them, maybe they don’t know any better?
While I love lifting, training and succeeding, and love T-Nation, I wouldn’t want to be associted with the bodybuilding culture, as most bodybuilders are whiny self-absorbed twits who think a muscled body will get them women. While chicks do indeed like a fit body, 1 minute of conversation from your typical hardcore bodybuilder will quickly unseal any deal.
- If you’re wearing a wifebeater, you’re a dick.
- If you don’t know me, don’t ask me if THAT guy is on steroids. That makes me think you’re asking him the same about me.
- Don’t look at HS girls and say “I’d knock the bottom out of that.”
- Don’t be gay around me. (Is it just in my gym?)
Anyone else grossed out by idiots walking around in their bare feet? My gym has 1 or 2 women who decide to take off their smelly socks and shoes after an aerobics workout and prance around the weight room in their bare feet, right where people lay down to stretch, do ab work, vomit, etc. Ugh…
TB
No jumping rope in the free wight area.
Yes I saw it and Strongman can back me up. Right after that she had to answer her cell phone. Wonderful ain’t it.
Do not use the blow dryer to blow dry your balls while standing buck naked with one foot up on the bench.
Any questions.
I know smell has come up quite a bit, but here’s something to think about. If you insist on taking garlic as a suppliment, look into the odorless variety or swear off of the cardio. The 24hr I go to smells like a . . .a. . . a. . .I’m not sure what the hell it smells like, it’s just freakin’ rank. I know it’s garlic and it’s either coming out of the pores or through the breath. Either way, it’s enough to make one gag for a week.
Pure gold:
- I point my finger because it makes me feel macho.
Not being a psychic the following observation about your life is strikingly accurate: You Need To Get One.
Poor etiquette? Talk to the person bothering you face to face - if you’re man enough. Writing it on a shirt to make it impersonal is the way of the coward.
He who barks the most bites the least.
With that out of the way, there is one:
“If that asscrack worked, you’d have gotten laid the first time.”
-
No working out in open toed sandles and jeans. If you’re going to work out, wear workout clothes.
-
No spandex shorts for men, period. I don’t want to know if you’re Jewish or not.
-
Limit your time on the cable crossover machine. Your whole workout should not be accomplished there.
-
A maximum of three people to a workout group. 5 guys cannot possibly all work on the bench press without too much time inbetween sets to be effective.
-
Summmer minimum A/C temperature at the gym should not be set below 75 degrees. I know fat, sweaty people like it cold, but folks, the reason we’re in here is to work up a sweat.
And one last question. Why do people fight over close up parking spots to the gym? They even going as far as sitting in their car for minutes waiting for someone to get their car started and leave so they can get a close spot. WTF? I know this may sound like a novel idea, but why not park further back and get a little bit of a workout walking to the gym?
I put together a list a few weeks back. Here it is.
- Refrain from wearing perfume or cologne, or massive amounts of deodorant in the gym.
- Don?t use the squat rack or the power rack to do curls.
- Leave the cell phone in your locker.
- Be responsible. This means being on time to pre-arranged workouts and coordinating this time with workout partners, not staying up late before a workout, keeping current on your showers etc.
- Rack your weights when you?re done.
- Offer your weightlifting opinion if asked, not otherwise.
- Stay focused on the task. No horsing around until we?re done with the workout. We will be fast and efficient.
- No talks WHATSOEVER of tea bagging someone performing bench press. Keep all homosexual comments to yourself.
- No stopping to talk to girls, no talking about girls, no hinting of anything female. This is time to focus on self improvement. We’ll spend the other 23 hours of our day focused on the opposite sex.
- No comments or joking around about the amount of weight being used. Form is more important and you’re there to get stronger. If someone starts low, it’s only important that they are lifting.
- No suggestions to blow off the session, ever.
- No talking about how tired you are, what a bad day you?ve had, or what an asshole your [insert relation here] is.
And here are some that professor X and someone else contributed to (funnier, but perhaps not applying to your gym Budds)
- Don’t sell crack in the gym
- If you sell crack anyway, don’t sell it to the students on this campus
- If you don’t go to this school and can read this sign, we’re calling the cops.
- No guns in the wieght room.
5.If you are too stoned, don’t bother.
Cheers
