Pet Peeves at the Gym: Volume II

[ewing]

There was a dude in yoga pants at the gym.... a man... in yoga pants

and you have a picture of your tramp stamp.

these 2 guys at my gym are there for like 3 hours a day and do the same thing everyday. and not very good. they try to squat 315 and they only go down like 2 inches. and they never put their weights away

also, the senior citizens that workout in the morning. i swear they never put their weights away, and if they do, they don't put them away right. like they'll put 4, 5 lb plates in the front of the 45 lb rack

I used to workout a gym that was all rich old guys in the early morning and it was great. I could always find any weights i needed b/c they weren't using them. They actually did put everything away. They shared stories about stealing from their companies and encouraged me to get a prenup. Definitely, my favorite gym.

I just simply say "Yo You done?"

The answer is either "Yes", or "No but you can have it"

This i actually get annoying when people just sheepishly hover. Ask. I'll tell you or ask you if you want to work in.

[ewing]

Yeah, it's weird. At my gym, the people that don't re-rack their weights after using them are most commonly people that look like they really know what they're doing in a weight room. It's not usually the regulars that I frequently see though, just people that clearly aren't on their first trip to a gym. It's a little confusing.

Agreed. I always re-rack but in the gym i lift at the floor is just a pile of dumbbells. No one puts them back.

I have a lsit ready for just such a discussion.

1) The 5 Russian guys that hold up a machine for 40 minutes, talking for days inbetween half hearted sets.

2) The old man that does an absurd amounts of sets on a machine/ set of dumbbells you need. The exercise is usually only almost a real move.

3) Overly loud grunting, yelling guy that is never in THAT good of shape, usually followed by slamming his weights un the ground when its unneeded.

4) The guy trying to "train" his girlfriend or a girl in the gym and he has no business giving anyone exercise tips.

5) People that do an entire full exercise on the double crossover cables and never think for once during that hour and a half someone else might need them.

6) The kid that loads up 10 45s up on a squat rack, leg press, bench, whatever. Moves his arms and legs a quarter inch for a couple "reps" (haha), and then leaves all the weight there for someone else to put away.
