Gym Annoyances

[DEEPER KEMICAL]

somethings in the gym i let slide even though they should be delt with. like b.o.. okie this is not such a shock but to have such an unbearable stench is just plain disgusting.

but one thing that pisses me off is when people need to "work in" with the machine or bench im on. i understand people are on time limits and what not, but so am i. for example. yesterday doing the lat pulldowns me and my friend used the machine.

6 sets of 6 reps holding each for 6 seconds. 30-45 sec rest between sets. now this kid asked to work in. i can understand if it was just ME working out, i wouldnt care, but its 2 of us and he has to use it? and also has to change the handle on the machine? i dono, gym courtesy isnt such a far fetched thing, is it?

i dono, gym courtesy isnt such a far fetched thing, is it? personally if i need a machine ill ask how many sets the person has left. if they say i can work in and im using the same handle as them then ill work in but if im going to use a different bar or handle ill tell them thank you but just wait for them to finish

i dont think it was wrong for him to ask to work in bc people ask me to work in all the time and i dont mind....and if theyre going to change the handle as long as they change it back i dont mind

so unless he was being a dick about it, i dont really think he did anything wrong

i can think of plenty of other things that piss me off in the gym

well he did change it back when he was through but it through off the tempo of the workout ya know. i dont mind normally, in fact i insist they work-in wit me, but when its more then 1 on the machine already, i think its just common sense to wait it out.

and yes there are plenty of other things that bother me too. like when people leave the weights racked on the bar, or they leave weights scattered across the gym. wtf?

I agree.

Maybe the reason that your sex drive is decreasing is because you're turning into a woman. :chuckle

lol keep it up hotshot. ill ban your ass :haha

[DEEPER KEMICAL]

top of my list has to be

1. people more concerned with weight, rather then form.

i think we are all a little guilty of this at times, we like to see if we can lift more then we should. but when people do it day in day out, during curls they swing their backs, elbows come up...thats a big no no

and there was a poll about things that piss you off a while ago: http://www.nightclubcity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53414

#1 has to be cell phones. i cant stand people that talk on the cell phone while theyre working out

yeaup every gym has those types. i see her doing the smith machine shoulder press, with her neck cocked to the side so she can manage to hold the phone. wtf? why come to the gym if you dont focous.


i hate when my friends bring their phones too. they carry it in their pocket and after every set they have to see if someone called. like they are SO popular that people are dying to get in touch with them every second of the day. fuck that. i leave my cell in my car.

the worst are the kids that use their nextel on speakerphone :pullhair

they make a private mode for a reason

[EXPROMOTERJM]

Whats worse than BO is when someone bathes in cologne..theres no need for that.

Cell phone talkers suck too

so do people who stand around equipment bullshitting instead of working out..your at the gym for a reason..not for a social hangout.

I cant stand it when people rest on machines for like 20 mins or sit and talk on it
