On this, I agree 100%.

Slow day. This recession affects a lot of people.

I don’t think it has anything to do with whether or not the guy moved but that he placed the loaded barbell on the top rung of the squat rack. A childish move in anyone’s eyes in my opinion.

I’m pretty sure this is what OP meant by the “douchebag” reference and I’m still wondering if maybe he’s some kind of midget or something.

LOL.

The ONLY justification for this being an issue is if he is 5’2".

I still don’t get what the problem is.[/quote]

You can’t tell me that you don’t get this. It is the principle. Regardless if he could reach it or not it, lift it or not, it was done in spite. Being spiteful just for the sake of it, is a BITCH MOVE. Plain and simple.

Even if it was done on purpose to be a douch… so what? People are douch bags everyday all around me. Start a thread about it and a bunch of bored guys like myself are going to comment on it for better or worse. I f I worked out with X I would consider myself priveleged if he did not eat me! Just that survival instict coming out in me i guess.

Good luck getting through life if shit that basic ruins your day and inspires entire threads to be written.

That wouldn’t have even phased me. I would have moved the weight from the top rack without even thinking of it being some sort of “maniacal action to destroy a workout”.

20kg on the top rack. Oh no. Whatever shall I do…besides lift it and move it and go on with what I was doing.

Of course, if he had HIDDEN the barbell so the OP couldn’t find it, then that might be worth discussing.

Again, how tall is the OP?

It’s antagonistic, period.

No, that would just be hilarious. I don’t care who you are.

I can’t help but think of X’s hulk of a self stealthly hiding the barbell behind all the fat chicks!

That would be a really mean thing to do.

Especially to a midget.

That’s why I got equipment at home. I can curl in the squat rack, I’m the biggest guy there, and I don’t have to wait for no douche bags. :wink:

I wouldn’t of moved if it was me doing the rows but that thing with the weight wasn’t the coolest thing I’ve ever heard, but hey who knows man maybe it was his girlfriends idea?

I think it is rude to ask anybody to move. I do not do it and when asked I do not move. I ask and let people work in with me everyday however. I do also think it is rude for anybody to say take up the one power rack in my gym for extended periods of time. That is rude. People just need to use their brains.

The new fad I’ve seen is two or three people jumping between 3 different HS machines and getting offended if you ask to work in.

I had this happen a few months ago. I apparently ruined their “circuit” by asking to use the one HS incline machine. I sat down anyway because I wasn’t about to wait for 30min for all of them (four guys in total) to finish their little circuit. It didn’t help that none of them were very developed either.

and this is the proper way to act?

Like a child?
“No My toy,No my Toy, screw you im bigger than you so its mine”

come on now, you are in a public gym,you and these other 4 members pay the same amount of money to be there, you need to share.

You seem to think that being bigger gives you the right to be a dick,you feel entitled well I’m sorry buddy it does not work that way,if you did that to me I dont care if you are 100 pounds heavier than I am or 200 pounds heavier and can lift a bus, you and I would have words.

Read the rest of the thread, doofus. This was explained in detail.

NO ONE should have to wait while four guys use some other piece of equipment simply because they plan on coming back to it as a group.[/quote]
this is true, asshole,
but I was also commenting on your holier-than-thou, I am bigger than you are so you have to bow to me attitude that I see pouring out of the rest of your posts.

It didn’t happen to me.

It didn’t and wouldn’t ruin my day. Doesn’t mean the guy isn’t a little bitch.

Apparently it didn’t “phase” the OP as he simply did what you would have done and continued his workout.

Again, it’s not the amount of weight that’s the issue. And again the OP lifted it and continued.

This thread was written to comment about general douchebaggery, not cry on a shoulder.

Who fucking cares how tall the OP is? Look at his fucking profile if you just HAVE to know.

Good call! When in doubt, always try to blame a woman.

These are life lessons here, people.

Trust me, my size has nothing to do with my outlook on life. Sorry if I am not humble enough for you. I will scoot “be more humble to please you” to the top of my list of things to do.

Damn it, I don’t have a pen…but since I am on the toilet…and I have blank toilet paper and shit to work with…

Do you ever get the feeling that some people on here login just to see what you are saying so they can argue with it?

lmfao @ deadlifting 140lbs acouple of times to setup the rows causing “stress” on the lower back

lol If I had been the OP I would have just waited my turn. Case closed, problem solved.

I’m still wondering which direction the toilet water swirls when you’re at the equator, too.
