Gym Pet peeves

Anyone else fucking hate to see people ONLY doing bodyweight exercises in the fucking gym?

I don't mind them. It's not my money they're wasting. Same goes for people with PT.

>that guy who does pushups between bench sets

>People smelling like absolute ass when you pass them.
>Fat people doing non cardio

Why do you hate powerlifters?

kek, there is this one regular at my gym who ONLY deadlifts daily with like 300lbs. Dude's like 6'5'' and maybe 350lbs.

sauce?

>bench sets
cousin did push-ups and ab-workd between squat sets
needless to say he fucked up his back, pulled a muscle or something

Over-excited/cautious/keen spotters.

>cardio bunnies taking selfies
or even worse
>cardio bunnies taking a Snapchat video of themselves just staring into the camera while teasing their hair with one hand
Why are millennials so fucking conceited and narcissistic, Veeky Forums ?

I don't give a fuck, except when it's some fucker doing bodyweight stuff and using a bench rack to do it.

>That guy in the locker room using two hair dryers to dry his whole body

That one is the extreme case, but everytime I'm at the gym there's always at least two or three faggots (usually people 30+ years old) using the dryers on their chest, their junk or their fucking feet

>YOU'RE FUCKING BALD GRANDPA, YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO USE IT ON YOUR HEAD, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME YOU SPEND PRETENDING TO DRY YOUR NON-EXISTENT HAIR
>EVER HEARD OF A GODDAMN FUCKING TOWEL

They aren't really wasting their money either. A significant amount of a gym's income comes from people that signup and never show, not even to do BW exercises. Over 35% of Americans are obese.

If they're exercising on a regular basis, I'd say they got their money's worth.

>30+

lmao

>(that's the joke)

I hate this, but only if they use the free weight area to do it

> gym has an entire FLOOR with mats, a TRX, and dumbbells and plates
> people still stand in the middle of the freeweight section to do reverse-curtsy-dip-lunges

it's ALWAYS vapid-looking Stacies too

People circuiting multiple pieces of equipment during rush hour.

Doesn't even miff me THAT much, I just expect better of people than that sort of selfish obliviousness

The only acceptable bodyweight exercices are pullups and neck bridges

Dips?

That's what social media and beta hoverers have done to girls. Actually, i've seen guys doing this gay shit too.

I was emerald coast last august and watched teenagers spend 20 mins taking selfies at a time. When they weren't taking selfies they were on their fucking phones.

You have this gorgeous view and are completely distracted by technology. Mfw Black Mirror is aleady real

When I put on my suit and tie and go to the office, I am ready for business. There is just something about the clothes that puts you in a mindset ready for business. The same is true for me at the gym. When I am at the gym, I am ready for business of a different kind and my attitude is different - just being there makes me feel different. I don't think I could do a home gym because for me, my house is a place of repose, not work.

This is how I see those that do any kind of exercise at a gym. It is like those places where you can rent office space instead of trying to work from home or sit in a Starbucks all day. You are paying for a place to do business and it just so happens that they have the office all set up with all the tools that you need.

It bothers me when coworkers come to the office and are lazy, browse the web all day or just goof off because I don't respect them. It also bothers me when people come to the gym and do the same, don't focus, play with their phone, etc. If someone comes to the gym, focuses, does their workout and leaves, I don't care WHAT they are doing (so long as they are respectful of others).

Sometimes I do my routine in the morning and my lil bro wants to go workout later in the day so I take him and just go off on the side and do some yoga shit. I feel kinda dumb not using equipment but at least I'm in a lil corner away from all the weights and not doing shitty form walking lunge laps around the weights getting in everyone's way like others.

my sweat stinks
now what?

Dips.

When I wake up and see my white skin I put on my suit and tie and go to the office, I am ready for business. There is just something about the skincolour that puts me in a mindset ready for business. The same is true for me at the gym. When I am at the gym, I am ready for business of a different kind and my attitude is different - just being there makes me feel different. I don't think I could do a home gym because for me, my house is a place of repose, not work.

It bothers me when niggers come to the office and are lazy, browse the web all day or just goof off because I don't respect them. It also bothers me when niggers come to the gym and do the same, don't focus, play with their phone, etc. If someone comes to the gym, focuses, does their workout and leaves, I know they are white (so long as they are respectful of others).

>that guy that is bouncing all around the gym and breathes really weird
It sounds like a mix between someone shivering in the cold and an asian slurping noodle soup

Chicks in beat headphones who sing and dance a bit between sets. Yes, we see you.

my greatest pet peeve is looking in the mirror at home and thinking I'm seeing progress then getting to the gym and realizing im tiny compared to everyone else

I found a new pet peeve last night
>At the gym, just finished a badass weightlifting session.
>RIP back and biceps
>cutting, so I guess cardio
>on the elliptical (it's low impact fucker)
>Hambeast black lady on treadmill next to me
>trump on the news
>She starts asking white people who walk by "hey, do you have a bulletproof vest"
>people seem confused and "y-you too" their way out of the situation
>I honestly didn't know how to react
>MFW pic related

WTF SHOULD I DO /FIT?

Welcome to lifting bro, this never goes away.

This was surprisingly well worded for a gym autist.

Why is she doing that?

shes mixing the whey and milk in her vagoo

May I extend my white hand and lift you up from the depths of your despair?

as long as you're not some french speaking cunt m8

There's a couple of I think martial arts guys that are doing tons of weighted calisthenics and sports specific exercises, it looks weird as hell, but they're both jacked and pretty strong those rare times they do conventional exercises so I don't mind them.

DYEL mode dude who's been in the gym for YEARS preaching DUMB SHIT like "30 secs rest max" "deadlifts are bad for your back" "high squats protect your knees" and shit and does nothing but 20 rep isolation fluff with babby weights.

So why do you look like nothing and lift less than my day 1 weights you piece of shit? GOD I'M MAD.

>does nothing but 20 rep isolation fluff with babby weights.
I find that stuff can be really nice if you do like 100 rep+ sets, I do this on off days for biceps/elbow health (100 rep empty bar curls), rotator cuffs (do rotation exercises with 1.25kg plates, 50 reps per motion) and even some lats (behind the neck pulldowns, 30-40kg for like 2x100).

Good way to get in a lot of volume while not impacting recovery significantly. This is all done while I do Sheiko on my full days.

Yeah but you know you're doing it for joint health, not to make GAINZ yet this cunt states that it is the best way to built muscle while having toothpick arms and shit bro.

I want to marry her.

I might be crazy, but I'm fairly certain I've gotten larger biceps since doing this

>girl who shows up to the gym to walk on the treadmill for an hour without even an incline then leave
Why not walk outside?

Safety

kys you cock mongrel

People with no spatial awareness.
If I'm trying to get psyched up for a deadlift PR I don't need two guys having a conversation right by the barbell. I wanna keep my eyes on the bar and go pull, not stop and ask you to move.

How do you know they're "ONLY" doing body weight exercise? Do you watch their entire routine like a creeper in the background?

That's my pet peev at the gym
>faggots like OP who stand around judging others routine instead of focusing on their own shit.

Anyone who uses bench/power rack/deadlift platform for workouts other than bench, squat/ohp, and deadlifts/rows/oly respectively. Looking at you, retard doing an ab routine on a bench.

Will Trump deport these assclowns?

Why has no one talked about this one yet?

>people not deloading the weights and putting them back where they should be

especially the motherfucker takes all of the 45's and puts them on the leg press only to not put them back

Lift in your plate carrier.

probably a bit more sensible than flashing my piece.

>mfw everyone in my gym tidies up perfectly after themselves

I don't understand this. I sweat when I work out and kind of get that musty ball smell which isn't pleasant, but some people smell like literal shit and can be smelled froma 10-food radius.
Do people just not shower, or not wipe their asses? I remember I once worked out twice without showering in between and I while I smelled exponentially worse than normal, it still wasn't as bad as a lot of the people at my gym.

>stop working out the way i don't want you to
autism

This, I can't focus on the lift when some guy is in my face saying COME ON BRO YOU GOT THIS with his hands hovering over me. Liftoff also psyches me out because I always imagine the (assisted) initial liftoff being lighter than the real weight is and amn't prepared for the real lift.

I always request that they stand back until I'm about to get decapitated.

There's two old guys that go to my gym, they do xfit pull ups, looks like fucking rabid monkeys, but I will give em credit for being able to bench 2 plates at their age.

People never think they smell as bad as they do (this applies to you and me as well).
A lot of people shower every other day and assume that an extra swipe of deodorant is enough after a workout.
I've also started to notice that a disturbing number of guys at my gym will wear the same clothes back to back. That will make even a normal t-shirt start to smell dank, imagine it with a pair of ass sweat soaked sweatpants.

When I was spotting my bro I always kept my hands around the bar but didn't assist in any way whatsoever unless it was an emergency. Did I do good?

>People who occupy 3 pieces of equipment doing supersets.

A common trait the these guys share is that they are usually Polish and they look like absolute garbage and have no concept of personal space.

I used to do kipping pullups when I trained for kickboxing. After a couple months of that and clapping pushups and I was punching so much faster than I could believe. I did a few other things too that would look silly to a bodybuilder but they helped a lot.

People are so lazy with putting weights back at my gym that I'm happy so long as they're at least on a tree somewhere.

My pet peeve is people that leave the 45s LEANING AGAINST THE PEG instead of taking an extra half a fucking second to actually put them on the peg.

People not reracking weights
Bros with jockeys
People doing the gym meme exercise (in current gym: walking DB lunges)
Curls/rows/deadlift in the squat rack
"Deadlift" without touching the ground
Benching/ Quarter squatting in the smith machine

/thread

Also 2 other stories here, one time an otter mode was in my gym wearing a tshirt and compressions pants, nothing other the pants either, just looked funny, and than a 5'4" fillipino was working out in a v-neck, skinny jeans, and timbs, also had gel in his hair, but come to think of it, I never saw him doing anything.

Fucking sauce me up bruh

I got em from a sauceless thread, and c'mon brah, sauce is extra calories and sugar and shit.

Here's an extra I forgot about.

Those guys sound like badasses.

>Dude barely arrived, he drove all the way (so he is not warmed up)
>Just hop on the bench station, no scapula retraction, elbows flared, benches 1 plate for 8 reps, struggling on the eight rep
>Hit a bunch of machine exercises afterward
>Always complaining about shoulder pain to his gym buddies (motherfucker also talks too loud)

>One day he saw me benching 2pl8, complimented me and then stated how he "could lift the same weight if only his shoulders didn't hurt that much"
>Tell him I've stopped having shoulder pain after I started retracting my scapulas, and having my elbows closer to me
>"Oh wow, I had no idea about that, but I don't think that will help, I've always had bad shoulders and knee problems, yada yada"

Thanks brh will fap to this later

That literally saves time though

Some people look at them like they're weirdos, but now that I play rugby and do neck training and shit like that, I kind of get it.

One's a boxer I think, he does a lot of hip rotation stuff with kettlebells and the other I believe is a wrestler, considering he lifts in his singlet.

>have a PF membership
>people not wearing athletic clothes

Saw a guy running in khakis the other day, and a few weeks ago some old dude in overalls and a flannel was chugging away on an exercise bike

like what the hell

>The guy who does OHP in the squat rack

She was hot until I realized she was a "comedian."

Women are not funny.

Please Veeky Forums. I'm on no porn and no fap.

is this a trap?

Good lord, do you go to NAU?

No, fag.

>lifts in his singlet
This may have to do with people looking at him weird. It is not difficult to get the proper attire for the gym
Kind of how I see people wearing scrubs at the supermarket(mostly nurses)

He wears a shirt over it though.

And besides, they look at the other guy weird too when he does bosu ball shit and he dresses completely normal.

ushijima iiniku

Thank you so much m'lord.

I think this too, I have like 3 fat friends and every time when they get up from a couch or a chair it smells absoulutley horrendous, I think their arms are too fat to reach their ass when they wipe or some shit

nope, bacteria eating sweat stinks.
i.e. you did not shower the day before.
yeah, you should have some decency in a public place.
