WTF?! (Annoying gym behavior)

I hate guys that have 10'' thighs and struggle to do 1/8th squats with 200+lbs with they're heels raised a good 3 or 4 inches and keeping their back vertical and then go and tell me i'm hurting my knees and spine while I'm performing my set of atg squats.

I also hate people squatting on the smith machine with their feet so far forward that when they go down to parallel their knees are at a 90º angle.


Actually I just hate everbody in the gym

Squat max - 275lbs  30/07/09
Bench max - ¿?
Front Squats(atg)- ¿?

 Actually I just hate everbody in the gym

lol

about a week ago me and my training partners were doing heavy deads. i had about 425 on the bar and before i even started my set i could see one of the gym employees just staring at me.

i proceeded to carry on with my set and on my last brutal rep i let the weights hit the ground rather hard because there was no way i had enough energy to do a controlled descent after that heavy of a set. anyway the employee walked over to me and said that was a nice lift but u are not allowed to deadlift anymore due to the fact that u made to much noise dropping the weights.

normally i am a pretty level headed guy but i decided enough was enough. i told the guy unless he was fuXXing joking to get the necessary papers so i could cancel my membership. at this point there was quite a crowd around me listening in. i started asking all the people if i had disturbed them? and everyone said i wasnt even loud.

at this point the employee was like a deer in the headlights and getting ganged up on by about 20 guys haha. the gym manager then came up to me and took me into his office and told me what i was doing was perfectly fine and that he apologized for the situation. he then gave me a bunch of free t-shirts and water bottles before i told him i wanted 3 week long guest memberships for my friends. and he agreed haha

Too funny bro

Daniel,
   Yeah, that's just ridiculous.  I don't mind if a guy has to grunt to max out, or drop a pair of DBs to the (rubber!) floor to save his rotator cuffs, or, as you say, has a hard landing at the end of a monster set.  Sounds like the gung-ho gym police to me.  A little latitude would be nice.  It's the theatric screaming, the over-the-top spotter chearing,  the unnecessary throwing of dumbbells, and the inconsiderate clanging of plates being loaded on a bar, bursting my eardrums, that bug me.

haha dan that's funny as hell.  I would have been equally as pissed if someone told me i couldnt deadlift anymore bc i was "too noisy". Chances are that ****got of a worker doesnt even deadlift or squat

Goals:
-Find more time to get to the gym..

Gottabefit

Actually I just hate everbody in the gym

Sounds like me on the road

But I guess that's what it boils down to for me -and why I work out at home.  I've never seen anyone in the gym who looked like the guys I see walking around all swole -the guys who I enviously glare at and wonder, "Yeah, must be nice having all the time in the world to live in a gym!"  Truth is, none of those guys even belongs to a gym.

Somehow (and I'm guessing that somehow has something to do with a lifetime of athletic activities during high school and college), they all managed to get huge and stupid buff without ever setting foot in a health club.

Well, I call B.S.!  Everyone paying for gym memberships in hopes of building one of those types of bodies there is wasting their money.  That's their secret, ya know?  To keep you all frustrated and preoccupied dealing with buffoons and assclowns who monopolize the power rack to work their wrist flexors.  Meanwhile, they're laughing all the way to the beach with the crazy pecs and basketball-sized delts they built in their BASEMENT, using a 1982 Wieder bench with ripped vinyl and plastic-wrapped concrete weights on a steel friggin PIPE!  With a SQUARE NUT to hold on the friggin' red-painted lock collar!  FOR CRYING LOUD!!!!


Sorry.  Had to get that off my bird chest.

fxck no, there is no way he has ever deadlifted or done squats. i see him working out a ton but he is always on the eliptical for a good hour before doing a few sets of 6 inch box jumps (no lie). he also ditches his work duds for a wife beater and rugby shorts when he works out, as well as putting gel in his hair in the gym locker room before working out.

the dude is probably not the most heterosexual guy seeing that he has given me compliments like i quote "how tasty i look" ya i keep my ass against the wall when i walk by the dude

Yes, lifting will keep you looking young for longer, but oldness and wrinklyness is gonna happen eventually sooner or later.

I guess that would be a little creepy having people stare at you.  I've had older, non-attractive women try to be "seductive" with me.  It was just weird and kinda creepy even.  At the same time, it still did make me feel kinda good.  If it was a smokin hot chick doing it though, that would have been a totally different story.

Conan O'Brien was talking about how Romance Novel sales are on fire in spite of (because of?) the bad economy.  He said the best seller's plot line is that the hot stud on the cover makes mad passionate love to an undersexed fat housewife waiting on the checkout line at Costco.  ;)

Whoa Nellie!  Hold on a minute!  The guy is gay and he wants you to stop doing heavyweight deads?  Do ya see the contradiction?  ;)

I'm still waiting for chicks to congregate around me and paw at my studliness like they always did in those Charles Atlas ads, or those vintage shots of Arnold and his buddies surrounded by beach bunnies -you know the ones: there's always some pencil-necked bookworm in the background cleaning the sand out of his glasses, looking all dejected for being such a GEEEEEEEERLY MAN!

Aaaahhhh... memories.

But you know how it is.  Every time you think you've got it nailed, you finally look like someone who SHOULD be driving his Jeep shirtless with the top down, you get out on the road, and BAM!  JAY FREAKIN' CUTLER passes you in HIS Jeep, lookin' all "HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!  NICE TRY, VEGGIE MAN!!!  THIS is how it's DONE!"

And then, the next thing you know, all your beach bunnies are checking Jay out and you try to distract them by conspicuously flexing as you adjust the rear view mirror, but to no avail...

DRAT!!!

Same thing happens in the gym.  You're in the middle of a set of inclined DB Presses, you realize that -for once- you're the only guy in the free weight section with 7% body fat, your delts and pecs are exploding all over the place, dudes are shooting you envious little darts outta the corner of their eye, and chicks are doing eyebrow-raising double takes.  Everything is going your way...

...and BAM!  JAY FREAKIN' CUTLER plops his big steroid-enhanced ass right down next to you and starts busting out 700 lb preacher curls!

Maybe not glamorous -but definitely easy.  Just assume that no matter what you do, Jay Cutler will go out of his way to remind you that you are not Jay Cutler, and you've got the whole experience down cold.

But Jay Cutler doesn't make me laugh.  Jay Cutler doesn't listen attentively to my every word.  Jay Cutler doesn't keep me warm at night.  Jay Cutler hasn't lifted me up all those times I was down.  Jay Cutler doesn't make my heart skip a beat.

Last time I checked, neither do ANY of the dudes who get the girls.  All the hot chicks go for self-absorbed, unfunny, un-empathetic drifters and frat boy douchebags.  Guys aren't allowed to be hot AND do all those things you mentioned -not unless you wok for The Learning Channel or Oxygen Network.

Come on, ladies.  Back me up.  An average-looking dude with sub-15" guns who makes you laugh, cares how your day went, brings you breakfast in bed and holds your purse while you shop, or Jay Cutler?

See?  TOLD you!  Jay Cutler every time.

As an aside, look at the bolded tidbits in your quote.  Is that not Jersey Shore banana hammock fat guy redux?

Same guy.  He follows me everywhere.  Perhaps I should stop wearing thongs in the locker room.
