Gym Pet Peeves Pt. 15

[Cool The Kid]

I know u got em...

- the mob of ambiguously gay over grunting dudes...
- ppl who use equipment for shyt they could have done at home; i.e.- takin a pair of 60# dumbbells to do pushups (couldnt u have used the 10? or do u go up in weight every week :laugh: ); sittin on the bench to do curls; ridin mad slow on the bikes to watch ppl lift weights (not as bad if its a girl)
- ppl liftin wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much weight usin that awful awful never ever ever do this form
- havin to wait like 10 turns to work in a piece of equipment
- Ppls egos gettin bruised when ur nowhere near as big as them liftin more weight than them with good form

:laugh:

The gym is funny man... cant wait till I have my own place w/a squat rack, bench, treadmill... its funny a lot but its annoying too.

[sn0man]

you're annoyed by curling on the bench? I could see curling in the squat rack but on the bench?

I really don't have to many because I zone the **** out before I even get into the gym. I might as well only be able to visualize weights benches racks and machines as soon as I set foot in that *****.

but it is annoying when mother****ers stare at you like your crazy because your not there to chat. Also don't give me the caught in the headlights look when I ask to work in with you bruh.....were wasting time.

I would have to say my biggest pet peeve is people thinking your on roids just because your serious about this sh1t. I don't spend half my time talking. I lift heavy, eat heavy, and do my best to sleep well.....thats why Im making these gains.....

also cats that need to wear the flyest gym wear possible to do arms and chest.....which is all they do.

[Kronz]

If there are preset barbells made for bicep curling, use em... don't waste a squat rack or a bench just to put 10 lbs on each side. That's my thing with squat rack/bench curlers.

There's this gay dude at this gym I go to. I really don't give a fukk if a dude is gay or not but this dude is FUKKING GAY. He be rocking some short ass shorts and a pink ipod. And he's always on the cable crossover station doing some gay ass leg spreading shiit. (like this shiit here (http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/GluteusMaximus/CBStandingHipExtension.html)) I try to avoid him but always end up running into him or getting an open bench in front of him and shiit. :(

[Cool The Kid]

LOL yhea, not really a pet peeve but just somethin I find funny are chicken leg dudes. How can u bench more than u can squat, cmon now. And yea a lot of peeps go there to talk and chill which is cool; I like to just go in do my shyt and go home. I dont need new friends

I go to NY Sports Club and I see this sh1t all the time:thumbsdow. I try to pick the best time to go so I can go in the steam room or the sauna. I be tryin to avoid them n1ggas b:spazout:.

One of my pet peeves is dudes taking all f^ckin day on the bench or the squat rack. Im like n1gga hurry the f^ck up. No need to flex in the mirror and take 10min rest. The f^ck up thing is It be the same n1ggas doin Chest and Back everyday.

Another thing I hate is n1ggas talkin to me while Im working out. Unless you a female that dont know wtf you doin. N1ggas be tryin to talk and be mad close and sh1t b. Im like if this n1gga dont get the f^ck out my face with that bullsh1t....

[Cool The Kid]

LMAO it sounds like its a lotta homos in Harlem "b"...

Yo. you aint lyin my n1gga:laugh:. WTF is goin on yo. Sh1t is like the Village all over BK.

Shame to. I be seeing bad b1tches with uglyest chicks I ever seen. Im like if you like girls, f^ck with 1 that look like a girl. Why f^ck with 1 that look like a fat n1gga:thumbsdow.

Damn shame too cause some of them are built for dikk taking..

[Cool The Kid]

I know yall got more....

There are 2 gay dudes who come to the gym and just watch niccas... one of these days theyre gonna end up leaving in a body bag

[Luken]

girls on the thread mill in sweat pants.... the way their asses are sweating,gyrating, bouncing, dipping, makes me loose my focus so easily:sad::guilty:



cant forget niccas who bench on a smith machine, niccas thinking their diesel when their not working against any gravity :smh:

Yea men should not use the damn Smith machine. I can add 100# to any exercise I do on that shyt.

[Return of the Jedi]

Yeah dudes that work only upper body are some fukkin cornballs fir real. That sh1t always makes me look at em like :smh:...I mean squats and deadlifts aint fun, but the truth thats the kinda stuff thats gotta get done.

Another thing pissing me off is dudes slamming the pec deck...Like the do a rep, and just let it slam back, that sh1t is loud...either do em right or lower the weight.

[houston911]

im annoyed by dudes i dont know trying to talk me to death. im a nice guy, we can chat for a minute, but dudes be trying to have full fledged convos AFTER i put my headphones back on. got damn bro

[Fendi_Mane2.0]

I hate the fat boys in the Jazzercise and aerobic classes. Its like nicca get yo fat azz outside or on that treadmill and run, stop being a lazy fukk.

The water fountain spitters get on my fukkin nerves. Why in the fukk would you spit in the water fountain dude.

I usually do legs on Mondays when everyone else is benching or other sh1t so I have free reign over the squat racks and as much as I go to the gym I have only seen a nicca curl in the squat rack once and the owner made him stop. Then I workout on the weekends since it's usually not as crowded. I rest in the middle of the week so i'm good.

[Cool The Kid]

My gym has 1 bench, 1 incline bench, 1 squat rack and 1 Smith machine, and I usually go at the busiest time so there's usually a lot of waiting :sadcam:

[MustafaSTL]

-M*thaf*ckas who don't wipe the damn sweat off of the bench or whatever they're using! I hate having to come after some sweaty ass person who's too lazy to get the disinfectant wipes and clean up after their ass.

-People who come up to the basketball gym wanting to shoot with you when you're clearly shooting around/working on your game by yourself! Why do you come to a basketball gym without a damn basketball?

-People who want to hold conversations with you while you have your headphones on. They keep asking you sh*t trying to talk, and you have to keep taking the ear piece out or pausing your mp3 player so they can ask you a random question that has nothing to do with nothing! I always accentuate my motion to taking my ear buds out or pausing my music to hear your non-relevant ass talk. Most times I act like I don't hear them.

-Of course like others on here have stated, the quintessential dude who sits on a weight bench just taking and not doing anything when other people may be waiting to use that bench. I don't have all damn day at the gym, I always ask them if they're working on the bench. If not, I tell their ass to get the hell up!

:angry:

[iRockLamboDoors]

dudes who fart at the bottom of squats :gag:

or better yet do them sneeze/farts and act like they didnt do nothin got the whole place stankin :smh:

Fartin azz niccas (literally)

This isn't a pet peeve but more just funny... chicks comin thru to the weight room and not really doing anything. I see u ma

Damn cuz you in a hole in the wall gym? My gym has 8 benches, 6 squat racks, and a whole lot of other sh1t I don't use. The section where cardio equipment is has like 10 treadmills and a whole lot of other sh1t I don't use.

[The Real]

The only thing that irks me is people that go to the gym in order to socialize.

That and people playing around in the gym. I don't really have that problem now, because I use the gym at my school and everybody there is mature. But whenever I go home and lift at the Y it's always some kid f***ing around begging for a trip to the ER.

My gym is at a YMCA....

I am gonna look for other gyms though. I know they are out there and dirt cheap.

Oh yea... speaking of unavailability of equipment, theres this crew of older dudes... like 4 or 5 of them, they do 10 sets each of any exercise they're on. I went to the gym and had to wait for an hour to use the bench, cause if I worked in with them it would have taken forever. I'm gonna start fukkin with dumbbell bench...

I do close grip bench using the smith. I workout alone and go to failure or close to it.....so it works for me. Really restricts movement so the motion is overwhelmingly focused of triceps.

Like other have said, I don't like when people monopolize key equipment, either by talking or doing bull$hit exercises that can be done somewhere else.

[BigE214]

I hate when there is a mouthafucca in there working out with regular clothes on. That shyt throws me off..lately this dude has been in the gym everyday tho so im gettin use to it...

[skeetsinternal]

-Italians hogging the mirrors
-Fat girls
-Peeps who dont rereack weights or carry towels to wipe of equipment

[patscorpio]

lets see

niccas after shiiting or peeing not washing their fukking hands afterwards....this shiit blows my mind......my gym is not a metro place by any means but come on....i stay carrying around a small container of hand sanitizer in my gym shorts because of it

the nudity...come on b...in the shower area its one thing..but put a towel or a robe...some of the dudes think they at home strutting around in there....there was one day i nearly said fukk it to a workout because as soon as i entered the locker room there was one dude posing naked in front of the mirror :sadcam:...nasty as hell


the gym rush after new years: the only time i don't enjoy being in the gym....all the lazy resolution making newbie sweathogs in there....taking up all the parking spaces and fukking up the flow of my workout....talking loud, bullshiiting, not taking it seriously...its like this pretty much for the whole month

[Cool The Kid]

Niccas that's my size and way stronger than me :sadcam:

This dude came thru, his lat game was crazy. He threw a bar down on the ground and loaded it up to 225# like he was gonna deadlift... in my mind I'm like 'cmon breh even im up to 3 plates'... nicca threw on the strap gloves and started doin lat pulls :sadcam: :sadcam: :sadcam: :sadcam: :sadcam: :sadcam: :sadcam: Niccas be strong as FUKK B

[The Real]

:laugh::laugh::laugh:
I haven't seen that in a while, but that always confuses me. Why would you ruin a Polo shirt and a good pair of jeans by working out in them? And not only that but that has to be mad uncomfortable, walking around campus in jeans is bad enough for me.

[Th3G3ntleman]

I hate when muhfucckas eyeballin a machine and I just arrive at the same machine and a nicca come up to me asking how many sets I have left. Like seriously you didn't see me just arrive at the muthafuccka.

I also hate niccas staring at me. To be honest unless it's a glance you got no reason to be looking at another nicca in the gym, unless he's like disgustingly obese to the point of freak status than yeah it's ight to look at this muhfuccka, but only for motivation.

I hate fine bytches wearing tight shyt and you look only to later catch some random nicca looking at you looking at her. Like the fucck nicca the bytch is that way fucck you starin at me for.

I hate when I'm the only black guy at the gym and when they start playing rap I get stared at.

I hate that one grunting ass muhfuccka doing lifts that you normally do without a peep, but this dramatic muthafuccka got to make it an event.

Me and my friends use to do this fun, like we'd squat plates for warm up and be like "GRAHHHHHHHH!!!!! :angry:" on the verge of poppin' a blood vessel. :laugh:

[Jerry McGuire]

-Dudes that don't re-rack weights.

I go to the squat rack today and there's a bar with 4 45's on one side only in the middle of the rack. How can you be that strong but too lazy to re-rack both sides of the bar? :fire:

-When I'm playin ball and dudes try to steal my next. Just yesterday, dude tried to pull some slick shyt and get his 5 on the court right after game ended. I told him that I had next and he's like "Well we already got our five". I only had 4 at the time, but I told him "I don't give a fukk if I got 4, 3, or if it's just me, I had fukkin next." He looked at me with the :dry: face and my squad took the floor. Ended up winning that game, and whooping his 5 the next game. That felt good.

-Dudes that wear strong ass colognes.

Who the fukk are you tryin to impress? Put on some good deoderant and call it a day... no need to put on 10 sprays of Sean John before a fukkin workout.

[Cool The Kid]

LOLOLOLOL yo Jerry Mcguire where the fukk is ur sig from???

[YouMadd?]

Lol I dont know bout ya'll but my walk to the gym Im just visualizing every workout that im about to do and by the time I get in there im not really paying attention to anything else other then my next exercise, Gucci in my earphones, and occasionally I'll lose focus to glance at the fine ass white girls in spandex...

Other then that nothing really bothers me too much...

I do hate when your lifting and you see another dudes reflection in the mirror staring right at you.... That $hit is too much breh breh... especially when a n!gga is doing dead lifts or good mornings...

[Cool The Kid]

^^^^ :laugh: Good MORNING!

My gym is cramped as fukk so I'm gonna see shyt no matter what I do

[Return of the Jedi]

I was lifting, a guy beat to the last bench, and I was like "how long you gonna be here?"

And he was like "I'm doing 8 sets of 10"

I was like 8....sets....:sadbron:"


Dude was like benchin' 10's on each side, guess it was an endurance workout or something :laugh:

LOL u couldn't work in with him???

There was some old dude hoggin the cable machine like it was a b!tch at the club today... nicca was real possessive, u would think he was a 5 yr old w/a Gameboy in '86

[Luken]

getting stared at while changing. just because im a nicca doesn't make me anymore different than you:dry:

[Turbulent]

smh @ me being that nikka that looks at people while they lift. but it's not on some gay shyt. i'm just trying to pick up tricks on form and sometimes i eavesdrop on convos between trainers and clients (fukk paying for a trainer). but i try to not make it obvious that i'm looking...:guilty:

(no homo!)

[Lmac]

This thread is too funny. You guys have pretty much covered most of the pet peeves, but I'll add on. I hate when I'm spottin somebody on the bench that has some stank ass breath. Every time they lift and exhale, I'm think to myself "Cot Damn!! his breath stank!" The ones with the bad breath seem like they exhale extra hard too. smh

[houston911]

LOLOLOLOL yo Jerry Mcguire where the fukk is ur sig from???

we were talking about carl landry from the houston rockets....i think it was after he got shot. some dude went to purdue and knew him, we were making jokes about him

[Cool The Kid]

Not necessarily a pet peeve, but SMMFH @ chicks checkin out other dudes while they work out with their boyfriends

LMAOOO

Some big prison body nicca was doin bent rows, and this white chick was with her man doin some little weak workouts. The looks she was givin the dude doin the rows was PRICELESS, she couldn't help herself :laugh:

She wasn't blatant with it, like flirting with other dudes, but she would keep looking and cutting her eyes. It was like, 'have some class miss' :laugh: :smh:

A lot of going to the gym is the vanity of it all though. Cmon now chicks could work out just fine in the same shyt dudes work out in, but they choose to wear cat suits w/their stomachs and breasts exposed...

[Cool The Kid]

Speaking of ppl in cat suits, I have never seen the weight room clear out so fast.... as when a dude in this outfit (http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1972/28/99/35566822425/n35566822425_1335154_4748.jpg) came thru to do some olympic lift shyts. This nicca's whole undercarriage was basically exposed.. what part of the game is that?

Also there was this crew of stupid dudes today who grabbed every 45 plate in the place to do leg presses. But the thing was, they only went through a range of motion that was like 2 inches, AND they used their hands, AND they had niccas spotting them. I was pissed cause I was doing squats, and I just went to grab some water when a nicca tried to steal my plates! I was ready to mob on those weaklings

Yea I hate the dudes who grab all of this weight, and do the exercise with horrible form and hardly any range of motion. I don't get it. I guess it makes them feel better about themselves. Half of the time, these dudes physiques don't look like much either. This REALLY occurs when dudes are benching. Its like they have a complex about that sh1t. lol

[Return of the Jedi]

Aw too many times I'll see dudes put on a good 50+ then what then what they should bench and then be like "Yo, can you spot me?"...Like I don't mind spotting, but when my spotting is too make you look stronger it's stupid (and really does the opposite :laugh:)

Also never understood dudes comin' in in one pieces and sh1t...Like I'll rock a t-shirt and basketball shorts..That's it.

[Cool The Kid]

New Years rush is fukkin crazy. I went yesterday, every treadmill, elliptical, machine, ****in booked. I might take the month of January off.

[<9-milli>]

The big fukkin mirrors on the wall cause all sorts of awkwardness. I wish they would stop putting those in gyms. :grrr: You finish a set and someone else is just starting one, and they act like you stopped to watch them.:dry:
