Gym Pet Peeves

[Ben86]

oh my god ive wanted to do this for some time.

1) How many sets do you have left? "A lot" [censored] you buddy how about a number?

2) If I'm lifting infront of the mirror 5 yds back from it and someone comes up in front of it.

3) Doing biceps on the cable cross. There is only 1 cable cross at my gym, and you can do a curl anywhere.

4) The Spring-Break Abs crew. You can't get abs if they are covered in fat and it definitely wont happen in two weeks so stop taking over the gym in late febuary.

5) Do not lift infront of the rack where noone else can grab weights. Don't do it. No, don't.



That was fun, I might come back with more later.

Not to be a complete dick, but I disagree w/ some of these:

1)There are better ways the guy can tell you he has a lot left and would just prefer to work the machine/bench/cable crossover himself. None the less, he's giving you the long con on it.

3)Dude, sometimes you want to work biceps from different angles . . . see cable crossover

am i the only one who gets annoyed seeing 300+lb fat guys in jumpsuits doing tricep extensions or something similar?

Actually no one has written this but one of the most annoying things in every gym are the personal trainers. They lead their lame ass clients around, they're always chatting up a storm with the client about some sort of nonsense. They usually have them on totally retarded workouts where they go around the whole gym and use 100 different machines and seem to always get in my way. Then they get out the exercise balls and the balance board and have the client do that [censored] right in front of the squat rack. Then they pull out a yoga mat and drop right in the middle of the gym somewhere and get down on the ground and start doing nonsense. Sigh

nth) Someone asking to work in on an exercise that requires excessive set-up. Example: You are squatting... Someone asks to work in. You agree. He proceeds to reset everything for rack pulls. HYACHACHACHACHA die.

If he's keeping you away from the machines, he's doing you a favor. Go find some freeweights.
