It could be worse. The manager at my gym put on a Barry Manilow CD one night last week. Not just one track - he played the whole thing.
Sucked all the test right out of the place.
Actually, it was kind of funny when a couple of guys starting singing along to “Mandy”, really loud.
Don’t cut me off if I’m carrying 70-lb DBs and you’re carrying only your IPOD.
No shadow boxing and martial arts kicks between sets.
OK so this is my first post and yes, I’m pretty new to working out.
I’ve seen tons of you make fun of the guy curling on the squat rack. OK I’ve never done that, but I have been doing barbell hang, clean & presses using the rack because I don’t know where else to do it.
Hey, at least I’m trying not to be the gym a-hole.
dont leave your crap all over the gym

Actually, the rack is a good place to do those. Just don’t be caught doing behind-the-back wrist curls.
And we appreciate your effort. 
What’s up with all this deoderant? I’m not using it myself. Putting on deoderant doesn’t make you clean. It MASKS the smell. Taking a shower makes you clean.
When I enter the lockerroom, sometimes it smells like chemical warfare was waged there.
So, if you smell, don’t use deoderant. Hit the shower.
I decide today will be a light day. Once the 140 pounders; w/ the reebok weigthlifting gloves ,the $50.00 nike -brazil soccer team shorts and Polo sport workout t shirt, saw this they have to show me up by lifting more and then commenting that a guy my size should be alot stronger.
One time a guy run and jumped on the bench, between sets , just to prove how strong he was.
U never notice a fat chick w/ big tits will wear a tight t shirt to show off her chest. However this tight t shirt will also show off her big belly
Don’t ask me a question about my program, while i’m in the middle of lifting, while wearing my headphones…yes, it happened this morning! TWICE…
I’ve had people try to get some plates hanging alongside the squat rack while I was actually squating.
They litterally would avoid the end of the moving bar as if they were indiana jones in the temple of doom.
You cant imagine how distracting it is to have some mindless nerd so close to you when you’re squatting. You cant concentrate because you’re just thinking about how badly you’ll get hurt when they’ll walk backward into you.
Don’t ask me what I write down in my notebook.
Don’t dare harass me while I’m doing core excercises on the mat on the floor.
No fat chicks wearing way too short shorts with the word “bootylicious” printed across the butt!
(I wish I was making this one up. Made me want to puke more than doing a 20-rep squat.)
HAHAHA. These guys crack me up every time.

Probably the same guy, both times. And he wasn’t interested in your program.

pulldown…not a swing
i ABSOLUTELY hate when guys get on pulldowns and thrust their body back in some insane 45 degree angle like they are on a swing and then if that wasn’t bad enough…they throw it back where its so loud that now everyone will notice their stupididty…i feel better now…
Funny you bring this topic up I have a real distate for people that slam plates on the bar’s or drop weight on the grounfd I fucking hate it especially when I am listening to my cd player and the slamming is loud through my headphones…even when I am doing romanian deads with 315 I dont slam the weight.
#1) DO NOT walk in front of me while I am performing a set that requires watching my form in the mirror.
#2) DO NOT sit on the other end of my bench while I am resting between sets and talk and/or do curls.
#3) DO be wary of others around you and not workout half a foot from them.
#4) DO rerack weights. DB especially.
#5) DO wait around at least 45 seconds if you are not sure a station is occupied/unoccupied.
#6) DO NOT act like a jerk to others in the gym. My safety comes first to jerks pretending to be the alphamale.
#7) DO NOT stand around conversing with friends and not be aware of what is behind you. The person may just happen to be doing a 1RM and “this” person just happens to bump into them.
#8) DO NOT slam weights on purpose. See #6.
#9) DO NOT expect special treatment because you have breasts.
#10) DO watch out for others who may need an emergency spot.
if you intend to do bench today…please wear underwear so your hairy grundle isnt giving me a sideways smile, thanks.
an extension of the last one: wipe that grundle sweat off the bench before i need to use it
