ITT: Gym Gripes

>Go to gym
>See people on their phones while resting for another set or while on the machines
Can't you just wait until you're done with your sets, you fucking normies?

I use my phone to track my lifts, timer and music nigger

Oh music and tracking your lifts is fine, user.
I was referring to people who just text on their phones.

What else is there to do while resting if your gym is sparse as shit?

>they start smiling and silently chuckling

>Assholes who jump around and pretend they're tough shit after doing 10 reps of 20kg in a machine

>those who drag a bench to the squat rack and dont move it back
Fuck a lunk alarm. Gym staffs need a common courtesy horse whip to correct this shit

I browse Veeky Forums during rests

I check news while resting on my phone fuck off, what else am I suppose to do between rests? Stare at other men or some shit?

I use phone for music and stare off into space in between sets

>people who use machines.

I don't stare but I observe, analysis different styles, practices, physics of the people who CLEARLY have gains. Adapt and discard movements accordingly. I'll be a sheep while I'm learning from wolves to become one.

why do people give a fuck what other people do in between sets? fucking clowns, why dont you worry about your pathetic bench and quit bitching on Veeky Forums

Gotta browse some Veeky Forums and check discord and change the music you know what I'm saying dude??

I'm there to have a good time so what's the matter anyway?

>all these trips

FUCK YOU ASSHOLE
I'm allowed to amuse myself

You think about Ronnie fucking Coleman

I chat up tinder sloots in between sets for the test boost.

this sounds cool

Gay people

>"how many sets you got left"
>"can I work in"
>the guy that stares
>powerlifters

FUCK MAN.... IF I EVER OPENED A GYM ONE OF THE FEW RULES WOULD BE "NO TALKING." SLAM THE WEIGHTS BUT NO TALKING WHATSOEVER... DIPSHIT POWERLIFTERS AT THAT GOLDS GYM ACTING LIKE THEY'RE STILL IN HIGHSCHOOL

Pajeets and Asians with no sense of self awareness. Or really just a general lack of understanding what the fuck is going on.

>doing shoulders on a machine
>finish set
>stop for like 5 seconds
>dumpy looking pajeet walks from across the room to put a 45 away on the machine I'm using.
>puts it right on top of my weight and makes it uneven
>fucks off

Wasn't sure if he was fucking with me or what but it was just fucking odd.

Why the fuck does this only happen with pooinloos I swear to god.

>They don't put the dumbbells back in order

Motherfucker it says 10kgs right there, why are you putting them on another place and why do I have to explore the whole gym to find the pair

>People don't put the 45lb weight back in its place
Look if they're in such a rush why did they pick a weight that they're not gonna put back?

>fags that dont mark what theyre using and then go for a fucking walk in between sets
>fags that get mad when you use their unmarked exercise
>fags that walk around the gym singing loudly and poorly
>fags that are fat, sweaty, ugly, short and balding but still decide to take their shirt off and go out in the open where everyone can see him
this is all one fag in case u haven’t realized

>seeing gym bunnies in those tight spandex doing squats or cardio

Distracts the fuck out if me I want to shove my face in their sweaty cracks and eat their assholes.

Saw some poor Chinese dude just fucking jaw drop and STARE at a 10/10 qt doing squats. It was really obvious and he kept at it for like 2 minutes straight before he noticed I was laughing about it.

To be fair he's probably never seen a woman with an ass.

>GO TO JIM
>GYM PIRATES KILL ME

ROLF BOTTOM TEXT

>guy in the sauna is wearing a breath resistance trainer in the sauna
>sounds like fucking Darth Vader non stop

I use my phone between sets so I can time my rest, and if I get a text within that time, I'll reply. What the fucks wrong with that?

Kek

>everything on the bathroom is soaking fucking wet from people coming in from shower without drying

Fucking hell

I have an app that lets me log my lifts, but I get what you're saying

>See guy standing slumped in one of the two squat racks looking at his phone
>15lbs on each end
>Go do a few sets and come back
>still he is vacantly staring at his phone
>he does one set of like 8 and goes back to staring at his phone
>I come back 15 minutes later and this mother fucker is still there on his phone.

Yeah, I'm half Indian but Indian dudes even weird me out. They train in pairs and stare you out. The other day i was moving from the squat to the leg press and was moving across the 20kgs since i rep out at lmao8pl8 on the leg press and some Indian starts pealing off my 20s from the bar i loaded on the leg press (not even the rack which still would've been bad, but understandable) for his 2pl8 deadlift. Couldn't even take one step to his right and grab the racked weights. He also took two pl8s from the same side which further evidences how much of an idiot Indian he is.

My pet hate is when bros gotta show other bros around and act hard and give bad advice. It's not so much that which pisses me off but the whole pseudo zyzz tough guy persona which accompanies it. Zyzz has been dead for. 5 years, yet i see very few of these bros hitting1/-/3/4, with their sole proficiency being the bench press

I have a lot more respect for people who are humble and just lift fuckin heavy ass weight with no bullshit persona about it.

>People who squat more than me with half my ROM

Reminds me of this classic

DELET THIS

>girl comes into free weights section
>goes to the smith machine
>drags an adjustable incline bench there
>sets bench to flat
>sits on it reverse i.e. facing away from mirror
>puts 1.25 kg on each side
>AND FUCKING CLIPS
>does behind the head OHP
>5 reps
>leaves, doesn't clean up and doesn't come back
I am convinced I looked like George Costanza for a full minute while observing this procedure

>the guy who takes his shirt off to OHP 40kg for 5 reps
>the guy who can deadlift 4pl8+ but drops his 1pl8 warm-ups from max height
I don't like them

>They start laughing and talking to their friends
>they're pointing at you

this is the most autistic shit I've read in awhile

>I'll be a sheep while I'm learning from wolves to become one.

>not shitposting in between sets

Slowly pace back and forth, while staring at the floor and pretending to carry a pair of invisible watermelons under your arms.

I susually browse reddit main page between sets

Sometimes I make Veeky Forums dreds too, inbetween sets.

Whatever it takes.

I also like binaural beats 4 testosterone.

>binaural beats 4 testosterone
Oh do tell me more about this
Does it really work?

ur body doesnt know the difference between mental and actual test.

>Fat, sweaty, ugly fags that take their shirts off
Eww. I mean someone out there probably thinks theyre sexy but eww

>people that don't put the weights, barbells, or dumbbells back in their proper place
>people that walk away for 10+ minutes in between sets
>people that keep changing the TV stations to 24-hour news channels

That last one in particular really irks me. I don't come to the gym to think about politics, you asshole.

How are you getting so close to people that you can see what they’re doing on their phones?

Give a nigga some privacy

Goodlife has 5 screens constantly playing CNN...

>go to college's gym
>accidentally go at the same time a sports team is training
>they take up all the squat racks, and everything in an area around them
>they never work out while you're looking at them, but they are always set up to do squats and deadlifts
>While i look away i hear chains
>i dont know what they are doing with chains but they have chains
the only exercises ive seen them doing were box jumps and front squats with baby weight

I use a stopwatch on my phone to time my rest. Some people probably look at me the same way.

What made you think that I go up to people like that? I just assumed that like the old timer I am.

keep shit like that inside your skull, its autismo as fuck breh

happens all the time at my gym, niggas be curling with 22lb dumbells and start shadow boxing between sets.

Chains get lighter the more of the links are on the ground.

ie You bench x amount more at the top of your RoM vs the bottom

>gonna do some reverse flys on the peck deck
>2 dyels are using the assisted dip/pullup machine which is right next to the peck deck
>one of the dyels is standing to the side of the assisted dip/pullup machine, right where im going to be swinging the arm of the peck deck.
> Im on the peck deck at this point in time and think to myself fuck it if i hit him i hit, his fault for standing there
> i swing the arms of the peck deck back with maximum prejudice.
> I dont quite hit him, but my knuckles just barely graze his lower back.
> I do 8 reps like this. Knuckles just grazing his lower back each time.
> what a fuckin asshole.

folks who spread all the equipment out all over the gym, then jump around doing shitty reps on each.

Because you can magically tell what people are up to?

Also why the fuck do you care?
