Whats Your Gym Pet Peeves?

[Fendi_Mane]

Mine:
Niccas walkin around butt ass naked in the locker room. Shyt it's this old ass man in my gym that blow drys his balls n' shyt. Nicca be havin one leg up on the sink like that shyt regular.

People that be takin up the equipment you wanna use super setting and shyt. I know it's an effective method but don't do it at peak gym hours. But I killed that by goin at 4 am.

People using the squat rack to do curls. Shrugs are acceptable, but curls??? Shyts ridiculous mane.

When people be walkin around with the "Lat Syndrome" you know the niccas that be walkin around like it's 2 imaginary basket balls unders there arms in a attempt to look bigger I guess.
Yours.

[Julius Hodge]

The fat fukks that you always see in the gym doing preacher curls and shyt. I ice grill them like "you know your fat ass needs to get on the eliptical!"

The skinny ass redneck looking whiteys that come in the gym wearing a wifebeater, walking around with the "lat syndrome" mentioned above. I always see them doing biceps and bench press, and that's it.

People who leave the weights on the Smith machine or any other machine for that matter. Put the weights back where you found them.

People that refuse to wipe off the benches after they sweat all over the damn thing. That drives me nuts.

People that come to the gym, lift for 10 minutes, and leave. If you get in the gym, make sure that you do the damn work.:dry:

[Diggy_Dat_Niggy]

muskyness everyday

1000000 plates on the legpress for 1/4 inch reps

4 plates to squat and they barely even move


nikkas clanking shyt all loud while they loading plates to bring attention that they about to press 315 or 405

peeps swingin like trees in a hurricane while they curling

[Logic86]

I always see them doing biceps and bench press, and that's it.
they do a few heavy sets flex then act like they did something special ...smh

[Shaolin Temple]

peeps swingin like trees in a hurricane while they curling

I see this often.

I don't really have pet peeves. I try not to pay much attention to anyone.

[JunkYard AkbaR]

mufukas asking u how many sets you got left and just standing there staring, waiting for you to get off.

Mufuka im resting between sets b!tch!!!

I used to work in the gym and was there like everyday was in school. My main ones:

1. People wearing kahkis and cargo pants and some dress shoes. Or anybody who shows up in straight street clothes. Its obvious they "forced themselves" to come in one day and they never do sh!t but look at other people and do like half a set of what the seeother folks do. If you didn't come to ready work out just don't come. You bothering people...

2. The fat "I'm just happy to be here" guy. Whose real friendly but all he does is strike up conversations with people in better shape than him talking about "wow you must be here all the time", "I'd probably pass out if I tried to do that", I'm big and black so I get: "Jeez how come youre not on the football team". Leave me alone this is not what I came to the gym for...

3. Grown men curling 15 pound weights talking about "I dont want to get too big". I don't care how not strong you are curling a 15 pound dumbell is a waste of time...

4. Anybody doing a weird excercise that helps with their Tae Kwon Do or Jujitsu or whatever. Go to the dojo with that bullsh!t. Im gona lie tho alot of the weird exercises look like they work...

LMAO!! Hilarious..especially #2..

Anyhow, my pet peeves are:
-people that try to talk to me while I'm trying to do my thing.
-The people that are taking up space on the machines but they're not using them. Usually they are just sitting there chattin' up a storm w/a friend and not doing a damn thing w/the machine. This bugs me to no end especially when I want to actually use the machine.

[fudgegruck]

bad spotters.

batteries running out in my cd player mid-workout.

lean-ass dudes acting like they're badass and squatting 135.

[JunkYard AkbaR]

I hate dudes that bring in a notebook and pencil and do like 10 sets on the same machine and take long rests.

[TwentyTwiin]

People who instead of putting the dumbbells back on the rack, leave them in the far regions of the gym.

Now I have to interrupt my bench press set because I'm on a 80 pound dumbbell scavenger hunt. Not to mention, of course, carrying it all the way back to my spot.

[TwentyTwiin]

Also waiting for the treadmill while other people are walking on the treadmill for 15 minutes at 2.3 mph with out even an a incline. You'd get more a workout running up the steps in an apartment building.

[AnotherGirl]

lap lane hogs - I know you see like 5 people waiting around the pool to use a lane while you're busy back-floating & doggy paddling up and down the lane on some bullshiet. Swim or get out the lane.... :dry:

LMAO. I work in the gym now at school, these fukkers kill me. Scrawny dudes seem to think that you dont need to actually lift weights for your body to improve. One idiot was telling his friend "I dont wanna get big, I just wanna get cut" so he was explaining to him that for bench he just does 100 reps with no weight, just the 45 pound bar...........thats his chest workout. 115 pound dudes always say they dont wanna get big, like it happens overnight.

Sometimes I work in the weightroom for professors.....these old dudes are homos. One of the regulars introduced me to some guy as one of the campus sex symbols because he saw me in a suit. I didnt know wheter to :laugh: :gag: :gag: or :mad: , so i just :huh:

[elle simple]

In the gym, none yet really, but in the locker room, it's this girl that has a locker right by mine and she's got me peeved.

We're there around the same time about twice a week. She spraaaaawwwwwls all her sh1t out over the whole bench, including right in front of my locker. And its not just like a towel and her gym bag, it's her tattered bra right on top, it's her balled up sweaty panty and other sweat-soaked clothes, it's her towel, it's her shoes, today it was her lunch (a salad) but with the plastic fork sitting right on the bench like nasty sweaty clothing wasnt all over the bench too. blech.

She'll sprawl like this and then go shower, then I come in like, hmmm, how shall I move this sweaty mess out from in front of my locker? (With my foot was the answer.) Eventually she'll gather up all her ish and walk from the locker room --- barefoot?!

The word "unhygienic" comes to mind.

:laugh: man there's some nasty sh*t going down in the ladies locker room. No cism but ASIANS are the worst with the unhygienic ish. i saw one Asian lady wiping her face after she'd showered with her own DRAWLS that she'd taken off. :gag:

the old ladies walk around in their drawls all saggy with socks and flip flops. trekking water in from the hot tub... ugh. i wish i had "asian woman blinders" for when i go to the gym. :dry:

omg that is just tooo nasty!! I cant co-sign the racial slant, but, if you're dealing with people from abroad there is always the potential for things to get weird and gross... said the girl who loves to travel the world lol...

the chick who peeves me is white and from the mainland somewhere. Local girls (asian and otherwise) are usually really considerate.

they're not gay. they're just old dudes who never really worked out in their lives who view you as some kind of god because you actually do. they're just being friendly and envious. these are the same dudes who ask me which football team i play for when i'm in line at the grocery store and ****.

[houston911]

nah, i know theyre not actually "gay", but theyre pretty homo. theyre friendly though, a little too friendly but i know they dont mean any harm

dudes stand around butt naked with towels on their shoulders conversing like nothing weird is going on

theres an actual *** that comes to the regular gym i work out and this flamer dances on the treadmill

[TheThiefsTheme]

i'm burnin up doin like 3 or 4 sets of 10 with 110 on the ab machine then i see some fatty doing 1000 reps with only 30 lb. that sh1t wont help!!!

[elle simple]

hmmm, yeah . . thanks for sharing that. :dry:

haha ur welcome

know what else about this chick?

she looooooves to walk around naked. And so does her friend??

Today we all came in about the same time, the chick that's got me peeved w/her sprawl quickly stripped to her bra and (thong) underwear. IDK what she had to go do, but she starts strolling down the aisle in her skivvies, with her friend.

Just then these 2 local girls walk past in the other direction and stop across from me at their locker. The one says to the other: "She's walking around in her thong?!" Friend was like: "Those people are naked ALL the time."

Why do they do that? I'm not prudish (really) but, I never wanna flash my thong when I change and try not wear one on gym days. They dont even take a towel to the shower? Just step in and out and then track water across the floor back to their lockers? why????

I'm gonna ask her where she was raised. :dry:

[offthabooks]

in the gym:
when there are a bunch of open treadmills, yet someone has to pick the one right next to me

when people try to talk to me...despite having my ipod on

people who sit around on machines talking on their cell phone

people who sweat all over a machine & don't wipe it down

in the locker room:
ladies who get naked then put their ass all over the bench

ladies who get naked & just walk around the locker room like it's all good...case in point: one day I come out of the bathrrom & I go to wash my hands...there's this lady standing in front of the mirror fixing her hair...no clothes on except for a pair of pantyhose...to make it even worse, she works at my grocery store so I have to see her all the time. absolutely no need for that.

[nisa-138]

1. People who don't wanna get off a machine when they're time's up. If you're signed in at 6 on a timesheet w/ half-hr intervals & you get on at 6:10, guess what? You still have to get off at 6:30. It's not when you get on, it's what time you're alotted.

2. Broads that don't turn around when they're changing. The hell is the matter w/ you?

3. The exhibitionist types that have been mentioned already.

4. I hate giving myself enough room on the exercise floor during an aerobics class only to have someone take up the space.

5. People who don't wipe down equipment before vacating.

[KnokStaR]

lol@go to the dojo wit dat shyt

[Mikkey]

this **** needs to be upped

I hate non-wipers and those that grunt with 30lbs dumbells.......

but the worst is those who wait for you to finish on a machine :hmm:, this one nicca sat down to the side of me just waiting............I wanted to punch him in the face but he was like 6'2 240........


also if your locker is near the door dont be standing there naked, keep a towel on.

[nalej]

there are these two guys that lift together and anytime one of them is lifting the other one cheers him on like he's his biggest fan. So fukkin annoying.

B.O. mufuggas obviously

just fat sweaty people bother me. we all know you ain't going to make any progress so quit taking up gym space.

[sn0man]

anytime I hear crrazy supplement talk
"dude im pretty strong now but you should see me on nitro tech"
"Im running a cycle of muscle milk"

yea real examples

also fvcked up routine talk

"yea push ups really hit my lats"

*doing lat pull downs*
yo you almost done I got chest today so ima be on there for awhile
me:..........word? lat pulldown for chest?
him: yea upper chest
me::sadcam:

[Kronz]

- Squat rack curlers (with 10 lbs plates on each side)
I mean, seriously, I understand if you're curling 45 lbs on each side since pre-set curl bars don't go up that high at my gym.

- Douchebags that use benches to put stuff on
Me: "Are you using this bench?"
Douchebag: "Yeah" *does standing dumbbell curls*

- Douchebags that curl/shrug/etc RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DB RACK when you're trying to put back 95 lbs DBs back on the rack

- When you leave your water bottle/towel/bag in an open spot for lunges/etc to grab dumbbells or barbell... and some douchebag takes your spot

- "How many sets do you have left?" "Uhhh about 25"

- Dumbbell fortress builders

- Douchebags that completely drop the weights on deadlifts and t-bar rows with no regard for human life

[WhiteMale]

The "lat syndrome" thing is me, I can't lie, it's just an instinct of mine.

Really nothing bothers me other than guys cheering each other on. Grunting doesnt really annoy me unless it's excessive. Supplement talk can get fukkin stupid too. "Dude No-Xplode makes you fukkin huge"

[Kronz]

At a dinner one night

My homies gf: "Do you work out every day?"
Me: "No, about 4-5 days a week"
My homies gf: *turns to her bf* "You go 5 days a week, how come he's so much bigger than you?" (note: I've been working out for a year, he's been working out for 3 months)
My homie: "cuz he takes way more supplements than me"

:weirdo::sadcam::grrr:

Niccas who leave a machine then u come over to do your thing- 5 minutes into your work out "yo b i was using this"

**** outta hea get lost before i crack ya head open with this dumbell lol

[Return of the Jedi]

Oh God so much shyt:

-Fat dudes in gyms IN GENERAL. If you are fat, liftin' weight ain't gonna do shyt for you! You NEED to take up cardio if you wanna lose weight; benchin' ain't gonna do shyt. Speaking of....

-Dudes that only do chest and arm workouts. You know, bench, curl, dumbell bench, tricep ext., push up, and gone. No squatting, calf lifting, ab regime, anything. What a waste of time, for nothing but muscle imbalance. :smh:

-Dudes that don't wipe their sweat and sh1t. Once again, if you sweatin that bad, then chances are you pushin like 20% body fat and need to do cardio.

-People that just leave dumbells lying around. Takes the dumbells, does dumbell curls on the other side of the gym, leaves 'em there for the next shmuck to look for. Ugh.

-Dudes that hate on others for what they lift. I hate this so much, more than anything else. I'm talking both ways, dudes hatin on people liftin' mroe and less then them. Everyone is at different points in their liftin, just cause a dude is usin' 25lb. to curl while you use 40lb. don't mean you should put them down on it, cause they just haven't been lifting as long as you. Or in most case, dudes that think they're tight usin 40's but got piss-poor form.

Lol, I wanna weight lift at home but all I got is a pair of dumbells...:laugh:

[detroitwalt]

LMAO!! Hilarious..especially #2..
Anyhow, my pet peeves are:

This bugs me to no end especially when I want to actually use the machine.i hate this, there was a cat friday on the leg extension machine that was just sitting there textin away on his phone. that was really the 1st time i remember it etting to the point where i had to say something so i could use the damn machine.

- Douchebags that curl/shrug/etc RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DB RACK when you're trying to put back 95 lbs DBs back on the rack

i think that's my biggest peeve. i hate that more than anything

my gym also has squirt bottle stations with towels to wipe down your equipment. i hate when people carry these things around with them like they personally checked them out. i hate having to go on a scavenger hunt to find one.

[Wondah_Woman]

I was in the gym today and the person that works there, they cool people. I usually speak and keep it movin'. But lately they been prolonging the convo, following me to different machines just to keep the convo going. And I know its just being nice, but if I'm in the gym at 7 am, its obvious I'm there early to get in and get out. I didn't have a good weight session today b/c I was getting my head talked off.

earplugs and an ipod ftw

[KoolKid]

my biggest pet peeves are

1. people walking slow on the treadmill. at if you not going 4.0 or higher and you're not warming up or cooling down, you just came for nothing

2. people getting on the machine right next to you when there are various identical machines open

to avoid all this i got early, very few people there at 6am

[angel_baby]

bad spotters.
batteries running out in my cd player mid-workout.
lean-ass dudes acting like they're badass and squatting 135.

mines when my ipod freezes...:mad:

[angel_baby]

only real thing that bugs me is when i accidently get sprayed with sweat by some yukky guy working out near me.. :yuk:

i do most my training at home :)

[mr_metoo]

Broads wearing clothes

[MustafaSTL]

I haven't read all these but...

-When you're clearly listening to your music and somebody randomly comes up and asks you random questions, making you take your headphones off.

-When people don't wipe the sweat off of the machine they just finished using.

-When somebody comes to the bball gym without a basketball and comes up to you wanting to shoot around with you, clearly knowing you're just there trying to shoot around yourself.

:mad:

[The Real]

Nothing really bothers me other than peple having full fledged convos. I understand saying what's up to somebody, but you can discuss weekend plans when your not on the bench.
