Stuff that Annoys you at the gym

Not being a tough guy if there's no risk of getting hit...

This.
There's a guy at my gym who always tries to superset squats and OHP using 2 squat racks and there are only 3 in the gym. I just walk up and take whichever one he's using and tell him he doesn't need both. The owner is an ex-lifter/fitness model so when he complains she tells him to fuck off and use 1 piece of equipment at a time.

>tough guy

Not him it's me Not even. There's just no reason not to do so.

I always try to be respectful of others. But if you are not using the equipment, it is NOT 'yours".

You'll fucking wait.

Or what? You're gonna beat the shit out of me? In a gym? In front of 100 witnesses?

No you're not, you're going to sit there and fume, and wait for me

>I live in the suburbs.

>See a mat laid on the floor next to the cable machine
>It's been there for a while
>Walk over to empty cable machine and start to adjust
>Sweaty DYEL runs over and starts going "hey I'm using that! Can't you tell by the mat I left on the floor?"
>Say alright and just use the other side of the machine
>DYEL then does one set and goes back to his leg extension machine
>Later see him going from machine to machine after one set and coming back, expecting that people don't use his machines while he's away doing other shit

I can tell.
faggot.

>that guy whose form is complete shit but he always tries to "correct" yours

Shit man, I know I need to work on my hip flexibility but atleast I don't rack a clean onto my wrists or lose my footing. Keep swinging those full back curls tho

>I don't know what greentext is.

yeah it's nice not living in a shithole

>expects me to be insulted

>guy lying in the middle of the main walkway between equipment doing stretches
>he gets mad when I step over him

>not denying being a faggot.

>deflecting.
unironicically kys.

Manlet always uses machines and leaves a barbell in front of my power rack. Then he runs over and deadlifts 135 and gets in my way.

Once I was doing powercleans and this granny in spandex starts doing bosu ball curls right in front of my barbell. I should have lifted it and crushed her skull.

TRUMP VOTER!!!!!!!

The campsite.

>guy who was in the only cage when you got there
>pulled over a flat bench to sit on/box himself in
>has gym bag, shoes, keys, phone, various containers of fluid and a snack strewn about
>does one set of deads every 10-15 minutes
>still using it when you run out of anything imaginable to do while waiting
>still sitting on his bench/barricade/trump wall when you leave.

When did Gavin McInnis get fit?

>Doing whatever exercise
>Someone comes next to the rack/bench next to me and does the same exercise, but heavier
Please get away from me I don't want to be reminded of how much of a shit I am

...

kek u prolly a sweetbitch soft af

and you are a nigger or a wannabe.

>Deadlifting in front of the squat rack
Why do fuckers do this

Is that supposed to be an insult? Why don't you follow it up a bit?
>I have a high paying job
>I own a nice home in a safe neighborhood
>I am well off while still living within my means

You're never gonna make it

...

Kek nice projecting dyel newbitch.

CAUSE THATS WHERE THE DEADLIFT PLATFORM IS AT MY GYM AND THATS WHERE THE BAR IS AND THE WEIGHT IS AND FUCK MAN I DIDNT DO ANYTHING WRONG IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SQUAT THERES ENOUGH ROOM FOR THEM TOO

Related story from the opposite perspective

>be me
>doing 5/3/1 boring but big, just finished my fourth set of squats(accessory exercise)
>go to get a drink of water
>Meathead instantly walks in front of the rack just to watch himself forearm curl an unweighted bar in the mirror
>tell him I only have one more set
>looks at me like he's a badass that didn't appreciate that

People are so edgy.

This happens at UMD all the time.

He's your gym bully.

this,

where else are we suppose to do it fag?

>back when I'd just started at the gym
>doing some OHP
>am 6'5 fat man
>tiny blonde woman (like 5'5 at most) starts doing OHP in next rack over
>lifts more than double the weight I was
>contemplate the benefits of suicide

Jeopardize your workout to try and impress someone you don't know? Not gonna make it

When dyels go into the freeweight area.

This happened to me once. I had to change gyms.

>long shift ended in the middle of our busiest hours so an instant relief when I punch out overwhelms me
>time for the gym!
>swig some preworkout and get going
>gym is oddly empty aside from the staff at the front
>squat rack is empty and my favorite bar is there
>start heading over towards it
>stop in my tracks
>I get the feeling that something isn't right
>the smell of curry is getting stronger
>10 pajeets jump me
>they all have straws they are sucking through trying to land them on my muscles
>manage to fight them off
>they regroup all stacked on top of one another, making an average height mega-pajeet
>they all channel their musk to go straight up my nose, knocking me out instantly
>wake up in the hospital only to find out I've lost all my gains and have forgotten how to use a toilet

My gym is really small and only has one barbell that isn't fixed at a certain weight, this barbell happens to be for the squat rack and I don't want to take up space in the free weight area

Kek

>puts a 35 and a 10 on
Can someone explain why everyone fucking does this? It really triggers me. Why are they deliberately not going to put a 45 on? Do they honesly not know how to add or are they too lazy to take the weight off and add more weight on?

If you use 35s to warm up and then want to go up to 45, why would you not just put 10 more on? Unless there aren't enough 10 or 35 plates in your gym I can't see why this makes you so pissy.

It looks retarded is why.
Sometimes people don't even do this for warming up.

shit nigga go terps

Ayyy

So you only lift to impress normies by the amount of 45s on the bar? Not gonna make it

umd checking in but cardio? not gonna make it brah

Don't even say that, just remind them that they can't rent equipment at the gym and if they're of a similar height to you, offer to let them work in.

They never accept the offer lol

shrinks the plate economy

if your gym is a disorganised mess, like all the gyms I've ever been to, hogging the plates makes it slightly more difficult to locate other plates because there's less of them available

>can I work in
>"no"

>finish squats
>bench conveniently opens up right as I'm walking by
>immediately sit down on bench to warm up
>some fucking nigger walks up and starts laughing
>can I help you
>shiiiieeettttt bro I been waiting fo dat bench fo evaaa
>mind if I hop in witch ya
>yes I do mind. I have specific rest intervals that I need to follow. You'll just have to wait until I'm finished "bro"
>mfw I wasn't even going to bench
>I just sat there to take my knee wraps off
>do 8x4 bench plus warm ups and back off sets just to piss the raucous nigger off

you sound like a fag, confirmed not making it

my gym is fucking tiny so it's literally the only place.

what's worse is that the floor behind the squat rack is uneven, so when you place the barbell on the floor it starts to roll away REEEEE

but I mean, do you do it DIRECTLY in front of the rack? Like less than a few feet?

thats pretty alpha tbf you're just a little bitch.

As soon as you walk into the gym and one of the girls whos working out, has a bad smelly fanny day, it covers the whole gym and you spend half your time sniffing the air and the other half trying to work out who's got the fishy fanny

>be me
>doing seated cable rows
>run out of water
>dying of thirst
>leave my hoodie on the seat of the machine
>walk the 3m to the water fountain
>fill my bottle up and turn back around
>in the literal 2 minutes it took me to fill my bottle up a sweaty fucking dyel has knocked my hoodie off and is midway through a set
>say to him "not finished yet mate"
>he stares at me with wide eyes and stutters "o-oh sorry" and runs off
>was going to tell him I only had one set left but he's now halfway across the gym

Lets try again.
>finish 5*5 bodyweight squats
>bench conveniently opens up right as I'm walking by
>immediately sit down on bench because im fucked from them bw squats
>some nice black walks up and says
>can I help you
>mind if I work in?
>N-no
>mfw I run away from bench and sit in the corner of the gym
>I just sat there to take a rest
>do 8x4 crying like a bitch because im beta as fuck and scared of black people

What a fucking asshole you are.

>can't do deads because herniated discs
>try to do low row machine
>asian guy on it
>ask him how many sets left
>he just gives me a peace sign
>try DB rows on benches
>hurts but kind of works
>look over at asian guy
>he's still going
>10 minutes later he's still going, not even moving weights up or anything

What the fuck

Whenever that happens to me I just say "you can jump in with me if you want" i.e. I'm here now but I'm willing to share.

Nothing more annoying than dickheads that spend 20 minutes on featherweight doing nothing but going to failure over and over again

At my gym 45's are primo. There are way more lesser weights than needed so if you warm up you should use like a 25 then add two 10's if you aren't at a plate for warm up yet. If you take them off and add a 45 instead all you are doing is hogging the 45s for vanity.

>people at the gym who feel the need to go home, get on the internet, and tell people to do squats and deadlifts
>now everyone is doing squats and deadlifts and there's still only 3 racks because the kike gym won't put in more

STOP HELPING PEOPLE IT ONLY MAKES MORE COMPETITION

when i dont hear this song youtube.com/watch?v=NLBw365cdLY

They need to realize they are the failure and get off the fucking machine.

Hahah

>what is easy 10% deload when you fail a set

>dual watermelon wielding muslims

>10lbs is 10% of 45lbs

lol this is true.

Literally every numale and paki in my gym is doing deadlifts, barbell OHP and front squats with like 40kg. 4 years ago nobody did them aside of me and a couple other guys.

>Niggers
>Chinks
>Pajeets
>Old people

That's why I now go to a tiny gym on the 2nd floor of some bowling place.
the equipment is jurassic and there's mostly military/vet guys in their mid 30s who have no time for dumb shit.
Resolutioners and DYELS get bullied and downstared into leaving.

>inb4

>Not sure if trolling or stupid

45's a side = 135 lbs
35's a side = 115 lbs

0.1 * 135 = 13.5 lbs

>What is math

>go into gym
>Only squat rack is used
>Do all of my other exercises waiting for squat rack
>Same fucker is still there
>He starts doing rows next to the squat rack

>Come over
>"Hey bro, you finished with the squat rack?"
>"Err... Um... Yeah, I thought about using it a bit more, But you can use it"
>Proceeds to death glare me the entire time I'm using it

Who the fuck needs to do squats for 45 minutes? Shit drives me up the wall

Ask him as politely as possible
>dafuq is this? A one man circuit circle jerk you crossfitting cuntfuck?
Seems to work well for me.

>chick takes the biggest, sturdiest power cage in the gym
>half squats 15 lbs
>for an hour
>mfw

>fucking chummy stoner dude comes in on a longboard
>immediately loads up two plates on the bar in the squat rack
>proceeds to obviously quarter squat it for reps
>when finished, loads of the bench at like 185
>doesn't even lower to 1/2 ROM, with elbows at 90 degrees from this body
Poor dude gonna have blown out knees and RC soon

>115 is 90% of 135

in the deadlift rack like everyone else

it's close enough faggot

Troll harder, boii

There's the one fucking girl at my gym
>tall, kinda thicc, always wears super short spandex
>has pink knee wraps, a pink belt, pink beats headphones, everything matching
>always see her walking around talking to people
>never see her lift
>one day me and my boy are deadlifting and she is next to us
>she's only got 1pl8
>she gets all hyped up and reps it 5 times
>rests for 5 minutes then does the same
>leaves
Last week I saw her half squatting with just 25s. Honestly she pisses me off more than the dyel sorority girls, why spend that much on lifting gear then you don't actually fucking lift.

Still trying to work out how your elbow can be 90 degrees from your body

>gym cuties around
>keep catching one of them peeking
>even saw her smile at me oncr
>"okay user dont be a spaghetti dispensery today. Shes into you"
>instead of pussying out like normal and leaving I walk up to her
>Hey there, ive seen you here before whats your name?
>I shit you not she literally fucking laughs and looks away with a half amused half nervous eye roll
>I just turn around and walk out, trying to save some scrap of dignity

Fuck guys I thought gains would bring the girls running but I'm more alone 3 years into lifting than i ever was when i was a fatass

Yea but who cares

He was actually being nice you white nigger.

too much flare in your shoulder joints

What country? Culture plays a role.

USA my man

DW too much about it. Maybe you caught her off guard and she had to save face by rejecting you because she didn't know how else to react. Happens sometimes, don't take it personally.

not really friendo

although the track is nice, I do walk around it sometimes. I barely set foot in eppley anyway except on the weekends (sph master race checking in)

My gym has the exact same problem...what gym do you go too?

They shouldn't be? Fuck

hilarious

bwahahahaha, never excperienced that myself

so you can post pictures of yourself on instagram wearing that shit
