Gym Pet Peeves

[Gobias Ind.]

1)First and easily my biggest:
DON'T LIFT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE [censored] RACK!!!! Jesus, you can't take 3 goddamn steps back and lift in the open area??? I'm tired of having to wait 30 seconds to grab the 25lbs b/c you HAVE to do shoulder flies directly in front of the rack and conveniently block off access to any weights in the vicinity.

2)Water bottle fill-up w/ people behind you. I don't mind if the person is almost done or the bottle is small, circa 12 oz. When you have the full bottle that only professional cyclists and/or pee-wee football centers use, let others get thier sip on. Or better yet (as is the case in my gym) go to the far less-occupied water fountain to fill up.

3)Not a big deal, but I've been annoyed from time to time. Girls (or gay men substitute generally) who are nazi's about the aerobic machine schedule. Now, granted, if the gym is packed, by all means we need to abide by the schedule . . . we're not savages. But when the gym is empty and there are 10 of 15 ellipticle machines free, don't tap me on the back and tell you've reserved this machine. Grab another machine you anal [censored]!

1. People who do bidep curls in the squat rack (especially at my crap gym where there is only one racl).
2. People who walk around the locker room with their dick hanging out. Wrap a goddamn towel around your waist.

1) Random advice givers.
2) People who ask you a ton of feking questions.

[death_blooms]

1. People who Grunt/Yell loudly.
2. People that slam weights when they can easily set them down.
3. People who step infront of the mirrors and lift right infront of your view while your midset.
4. Weights laying all over the place for no reason.

Colt, who is that in your avatar?
btw kids sitting in the power rack texting with weight on the bar. Who walks around a weight room texting while smiling and giggling to himself?

[mattnxtc]

People who use crappy form to lift heavy weight and then act like they are badass because they can lift heavy.

I guess I should be happy with my gym because I get none of this. I'm sure I could find some of these things if I look hard enough, but it's not enough to bother me. I suppose it helps that I go weekdays during work hours though.

[ImAKing]

annoying ppl that come up to you in the middle of a lift and start talking to you, and [censored] up your consentration

[Thremp]

nth) People whining about dropping weights when deadlifting, C&Jing, etc when they have no bumper plates.
nth+1) Barring chalk.
