ITT: Things people do in the gym that annoy you

stop ruining our fun reeeeee

those fucking dudes that think they own the gym

>whoa tuff guy coming through
>uses all the dumb bells at once
>doesn't clean up after himself

they usually aren't that tall / strong

shit fucking pisses me off more then anything in the world.

bird dogs

>uses all the dumb bells at once
even how

>doing dips on the designated bench used for bench press

Seriously dude dips ? Oh right on, make sure you superset those with pushups on your yoga mat and some light shoulder stretching at peak time

>Not wiping down machine after use
> taking bench/machine after I use it and am returning with papertowel to wipe it down
>"nah, it's cool"

>smell
>don't leave their gym bags in the locker room
>Use benches as cabinets

honestly

the fucking squat / strength nerds. the girls that have drank the fucking protein kool-aid too much. they have chalk everywhere and they think their whole training session is a fucking youtube/ instagram post.

no your over sized. shitty shaped ass isn't hot. its gross.

you're not just overweight and shitty looking.

YUP.

Large gym bag makes me want to kill them and place them in their large gym bag in a river.

Confirmed tiny cock ahha

having long conversations in the gym

Go to small gym, 2 squat racks, 3 adjustable benches in the dumbbell area, 2 bench press benches.

Guy drags a bench from the dumbbell area into the squat rack to bench press on.

why pay for a water bottler which will break any way, using a gallon I never have to refill it and I have a new bottle every 2-3 days

This annoys me the most. Here's a story.

>Waiting in line to squat
>guy just started in one of the racks
>Puts on 1 pl8 on each side
>he fucking quarter squats it
>BUT WAIT... that was just the warmup.
>put on 25 on each side for 185, does more quarter squats
>finally he puts on 2 pl8s and a 2.5, for a grand total of 230
>quarter squats this as well, but only does 2 reps, 1 set
>dude can barely move afterwards
>goes to take off the plates
>he takes off all the plates off on one side first
>bar tips over and falls
>girl squating in the next rack over gives him the death stare
>he puts the rest of the weight back and limps away with his head down

>warming up with the bar

Google image search this picture. Just do it.

>things that never happened
the barbell wont tip at 2 plate on one side, that happens at 3 minimum, which you would know if you weren't fucking dyel as shit.

DEADLIFTING IN THE FUCKING ONLY POWER CAGE IN THE GYM AND REFUSING TO FUCKING LEAVE IT AFTER THEY'VE BEEN IN THERE FOR THIRTY FUCKING MINUTES AFTER YOU ASK IF THEY CAN MOVE TO THE LARGE, EMPTY FREEWEIGHTS AREA SO YOU CAN DO JUST DO YOUR FUCKING SQUATS

shit this sounds like me. Sure it wasn't the power rack, user? Those are the safest place to bench without a spotter.

it did though, when he put the bar back on it wasn't put on evenly, it was offset from center.

unless theyre a total fatass, or the type to not be able to bench the bar, it kind of annoys me to see people do dips on benches at all. its not difficult at all to do bodyweight dips on an actual dip bar, where your legs dont touch the floor, why do these people have to be such pussies? if you pointed out something like that, these would probably be the same people to say "i just want to tone, bro. i dont want to get too muscley like that guy on the dip bar"

>girls doing some weird ass "plyometrics"
>girls only working out their stupid legs
>manlets trying to be intimidating because they lift more than me
>pajeets/achmed using terrible form

Hey I only squat 185 and I'm pretty proud of it. I always go ass2grass though

doesn't matter how you put the bar on the squat rack, they're all pretty much a standard width and you could be completely offset but the ends are still going to keep the center of gravity enough in the middle that it's 3 plates minimum to tip a barbell.

I got some new reebok shorts and lulu lemon shorts that are god tier. Maximum comfort with built in compression, plus they look nice and don't have obnoxious colors/patterns

>in b4 haha lulu lemon fag

>not getting a steel bottle and optionally a vacuum-insulated one at that
>or just using the water fountain

Kek. One time a guy was waiting for me to finish on a machine and I was sweating like a pig (always happens when I do legs). I assured him that I'd be right back to whipe it off and I was aware of how gross it was, but he insisted on getting right on it. I was more disgusted than he was.

Thinking back on it, maybe he got off on using sweaty guys gym equipment or some shit

completely fucking wrong. in most cases 2 plates is more than enough. you MAY go to a gym with a really wide squat rack, maybe for that specific reason, but i doubt even that

>manlets trying to be intimidating because they lift more than me

You sound intimidated

t. manlet that lifts more than you

>being outlifted by manlets

I don't usually get bothered by what others do, but there was a guy deadlifting today - every rep of every set he not only dropped the weight, but put extra downward force on it, making a huge crash that shool the mirrors in the room. This bothered me, but I was almost done doing overhead press in the squat rack, so I finished my set amd moved on.

There something I'm supposed to be seeing here user

Maybe it'S different for you but it shows me bunch of dark souls pictures and assumes it's apic from dark souls

>wanting metallic tasting water from an inherently small bottle
>leaving your rack for jamal to take

Weird, I see the dark souls stuff now if I search the full sized image, but the thumbnail just shows the source.

>those paraplegic legs

>doing a dumbbell or bodyweight routine on the oly platform

my issue is you can do dips anywhere, you can do dips in your fucking kitchen, you can barbell bench in one place, one

Proofs pls, I can't get it to work

>Gym packed
>Guy taking up two different machines
>In between sets flexing in the mirror and checking himself out

and

>guy comes into gym
>does a few workouts to get a pump going
>flexes in mirror takes instagram videos
>leaves
>makes motivational post on facebook or instagram with his pump going on about his progress for attention

People are so fucking vain when it comes to fitness and so many people want it to define who they are as a person, it's sickening. And stop using two different areas/machines when the gym is packed, you're basically letting the entire gym know you are a dickhead.

>lulu lemon

quality shit. worth the money and no obnoxious logos/graphics.

>guy at the gym tonight
>takes 4 sets of dumbbells to his bench

>every fucking day

all these posts are why i've never gone to the gym. I'm too afraid of embarrassing myself

everyone's dick shows at the gym..

Guys who bring chalk and a sling shot to a commercial gym. So fucking cringy.

>gym bag full of accessories and supplements
>even though they do a bunch of curls

Just don't ego lift and have courtesy. You'll be fine.

>Group of pajeet at the gym
>All working out in polos

most people workout to look more attractive you autist

Ta?

Leg shrinks x F

This is how newfag

Lol dude that was me, I remember that day exactly. Yeah I get off on sweat

I work out in a small gym, usually aroun 6 PM when I get off work, and the PT's have the incredibly annoying habit of having the client they train take up 2-3 stations. I mean what the fuck man we have 1 bech pess station, one incline bench station and they decide to have them take BOTH at the same time, what the fuck ?

If it was just the guy alone I'd speak to him but I really don't want to get into arguments with gym staff. Got to change gym soon.

>tfw quarter repping my leg shrinks for huge leg gains

D E V I L F I S H

There's s guy in our place who doesn't squat, instead he takes 16 of the 20kg plates and does 320kg leg press.

nothing wrong with checking my instagram in between my 6 reps of 365 squat working sets user

there's a difference between checking it and scrolling your feed into last week.

>looking at a phone between sets

Well excuse me princess i have my rest periods times with my phones mp3 player track-time.

And people with big boy weights dont warm up with the bar, you see if the height is correct and where its most comfortable for you to lift from to get the lift-off angel correct and you can put the bar back when its full..

When some bro comes up to me and tries to tell me my routine is all wrong; preaches his is better; or tries to power me through some reps when I just want to be left alone.

This just happened to me for the first time last week. Just leave me the fuck alone and let me do my 5x5 stronglifts

skip leg day x f

Don't have a cow, man.

He broke his leg and it was in a cast.

Shameful story here
back in 2012 when I just started working out
>in a small gym, early in the morning
>only me and one girl in it
>I do benchpress with 1 plate each side ( only just began going to the gym)
>decide brilliant idea to remove 1 of the plates
>bar flips over and roars like a elephant having sex
>girl flips over and is freaked the fuck out
>look at her in her eyes directly and say : Oops, my bad

>lifting couples

>dyels who care about others habits instead of lifting

How did it flip with one plate? That's way to small.

the bar was not centered right and by removing one of the 25s, it went crashed down

whats it like to be wrong this much

>o-oops m-my bad
>terrible voice crack
>one visible tear crawls down chin

People that do 29474 variations of curls while they're there, and do nothing else.

>These 3 chicks which are constantly watching me
I. JUST. WANT. TO. LIFT!

niggas who set up cameras, wear full sperg workout gear clearly >1year in the gym. who film then check then text in between each set of 1-3 reps of

Squats - Deads.

Using the squat rack for a < 2 plate squat or OHP.
