Gym Pet Peeves

[Kins]

Yes and such people others end up getting nasty infections and colds...no thanks as I caught a real doozy of a lung infection that put me in the ER last year. Even my doc told me gyms are the worst places to get something nasty.

I tell people to wipe down when done...there's bottles of sanitizer and paper towels all over the gym.

Yeah my doc told me the same thing. Gyms are the dirtiest places.

I hate it when creepy old men sit on a machine your waiting to use and he is just sitting looking at a underage girl work out!!!

I told you I'm about to do another set...I just got distracted there for a moment.

Shit I hear all of you
1. Kids doing one inch reps on machines
2. I don’t wipe so wipe your own of course I don’t get it soaking either .
3. Guy sits and chats 14 minutes between sets doing 10 sets in 2 hours on the only smith machine ( usually I say something depending on how pissed I am)
4 . I don’t spot so don’t ask - in here for me not you . Since 1980 I’ve never asked for spot but you can work in I do share but hurry your ass up .
5. When we got 12 empty leg curl machines open and you want to work on mine ??? Fuck no they are all cybex go use another .
People who want to socialize too much . I’m there for serious reasons between sets im psyching myself up or stretching muscle . Headphones usually alleviate that issue .
People who wear same outfit to gym and never wash so stink like garbage .

Oh using other machines as their drink and snack table , using the only standing calf machine as coat rack of course I just toss the coats off - everyone knows me at my gym and not voted the friendliest lol

Ohhhhh almost forgot my two favorites and most annoying the guy Benching and making high pitched sounds like he’s getting butt fucked .
Or the kid jumps infront of me in mirror pulls his pants down to flex his quads - in 1995 I got kicked out of golds gym for booting his face in that was a bad mood day .

Or people who train the hell out of their legs but neglect the upper body so they look pretty ridiculous even. Another peeve is the damned lunk alarm at Planet Fitness (yes I go there occasionally as it is around the block from my newly purchased home). My main gym is way on the other side of town however.

Think I am the biggest guy at that PF lol.

Almost like this idiot I’ve known 10 teases benches every day nothing else and wonders why he looks same . Of course you can’t tell these idiots cuz it would show them how truly idiotic they are ha ha ha

Depends one of my gyms he bleached floors 5am daily and Lysol’s benches and machines several times day - even hires special needs who work for peanuts to supplement their SSI/SSDI funny it’s power lifting gym no cushy shiny stuff but sanitizes everything . My favorite when I’m in a certain mood - no children or females allowed in gym . I got another gym for those lol

Ehhh...here's one I was freshly reminded of today; at exactly what age do old men get dressed in the locker in this order: dress socks, white under shirt, dress shirt...then go to the sink to comb hair...with their old junk swinging about the whole time. I'm 51 and I think this is so effin weird.

I don’t get that shit either. I’ve seen some of the old fuckers shave & brush their teeth with their junk all flopping around.
I got on one guys case because he’d put his bare ass right on the bench instead of on a towel.
I didn’t want to sit down to put my shoes on and put my hand right where his asshole had been.

I'd have to tell the old Codger " I guess I have to carry my own Fuckin bottle of Clorox Cleanup to Sanitize after your old saggy BallZ Ass" ..! Yeah, I know the type,. Or as in at some (maybe All ) the L.A. Fitness's as I believe their all sorta the same design, or similar.

But the douche that comes from the shower, dripping wet,right to the locker cabinet area without a towel , Leaving a friggin puddle right where we put our socks/shoes on, instead of taking a damn towel to the shower area..! I just dont get these dimwits.

That's why I want to get my basement gym back in order,
I'd like nothing.more than to go from a rigorous workout, Right to "My" blender, right to My Shower with the stereo
Blasting the whole time. "To My Music" can't wait.

Just have to de~clutter some. This time of year,I don't even like to get all sweaty then go out in the cold. At home
Makes it so much more easy and time efficient.

Wait...People still own "Stereos"?. Haha! Throw the 8-track of Crosby Stills and Nash in there too MCMM!

Def now I go to Private gym for Powerlifters so lucky but before at YMCA...Fairly hardcore all free weights and very few machines but everything u needed,,, Most annoying was the Packs of teens or 20something year old kids who all came to gym in groups of like 5-6 people ...How do u even lift with that many IDK but they mostly talked left their cell phones on eqiip, wore sandals and violated all old school gym etiquette ESP leaving plates on and basically just pissing me off. I always scared them off if they were in the squat rack or whatever but If I got there after they had left thered be 315 on deadlift bar squat bar would have various plates on every bench had plates on it and thered be plates on floor if they did take them off and if they did EVER rack the plates there would be 25's, 10's etc all on one post ...Id go in and just toss all their shit off and used to like if they were still there talking Id go up to squat bar they were "using" and since theyd be hanging out farther away id just take their plates off and rtoss em on the florr and start lifting with my headphones on so if they wanted to say " WERE on THAT BRO" I wuldnt hear em anyway.. lol... Plus Id get pissed and talk out loud about retards leaving shit on bar and next thing you know theyd be in the other room doig something different to get out of my way... Had a semi pro baseball team and they all looked like grade school kids even though they were college age or older and they were the worst. They got free memberships and TRASHE the gym every time

There is a group of kids like that everywhere at every gym. There is a private "strength-club" around here but you have to have a sit-down with owner before they decide if you are allowed to join. They also give you a key or key card or something so you can train whenever you want. They just don't want an slackers or anything. All new equipment I'm told also.

 

[Kins]

I know a PL guy that used to go that place but now is back at the gym I go to. He is a very well known part of the power-lifting community.

Haha, hell yeah ..,well I guess you /we call it a reciever.. !

But what I currently have downstairs, or even if I am.doing something outside,or in another room ,is a portable

I think it's called Monster Jams or something like that..?

It's quite good sounding rechargeable , has Bluetooth, and
Radio FM (not sure about am ,but I don't think.so ) stream shit from the phone Amazon Music etc.

It's pretty sweet,I guess Stereo is just a broad term.

But yeah I have aBadAss Onkyo,and a Sony reciever, currently no hooked up, as my Tower speakers took.a walk.during my divorce year b4 last. Soon tho, just got a
55" Sony Android Smart TV , going to run it thru that and make a Home Theater environment. 7.1

Crosby Stills n Nash...! Nah, I like the Guess Who , and
Hall & Oats

yeah thats how our is.. We started in basement and buddy bought most of the equipment from a hardcore gym that went out of business after decades of being around then PLANET FITNESS and RETRO moved into his town and shutdown some of the struggling hardcore gyms.. So we had a very tight group of comp. powerlifters but was growing bit then we got a spot and eventually monolift rev hyper dead bars and other stuff you only find in really good gyms plus we all got keys unless you pay partime but then u can only go during team lift hours or if sum1 happens to be there.. I asked them to keep the weekend warriors out and not take in the guys who will come just to be cool and take videos for social media the whole time but we need the money right now... Barley cover the rent and all the competition benches and monolifts were bought by various members... Thats another pet peeve is the guys who join up so they can post videos of their 315 dead max every WEEK and talkk the whole time in between sets when im there trying to get in mindset of pure intensity not spending 20 min to get camera angle set up right... Dont get me wrong I will record a set if Im doing a PR but other than that IDGAF Ive set plenty of pr's in strict press or super heavy lifts but Im only recording for true one rep max for keepsake or occasionaly checking form
