Pissed off while at the gym

[Megiddo]

Anyone ever just get annoyed while at the gym for whatever reason?

I ask this because for some reason I just got annoyed as hell at the goons there today. I think it was a combination of the kids there and the old lady wearing spandex showing off her moose knuckle.

Yes everytime ppl give me weird looks when I bring in board,chains, and bands, and I get even madder when they always come up and ask me what they are for and I explain and they look like i'm retarded.

Also when ppl do BB curls in the squat rack. Especially when there are bars all around the gym and open space to do them.

matt,

i know man, some dolt ass was doing curls in the squat rack when i was in the gym the other day..........with a fucking 5lb plate on either side.

geeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzus!

I get annoyed all the time, vut i just let it go cause they're not going away any time soon. Although I do really hate how the gym is absolutely packed on Monday and then dead the rest of the week. It's like why even bother coming at all.

I work out at home cause I have a huge setup at home, but I still get pissed off during/after working out. I don't know if it's an endorphin/chemical thing or what, but I'm always bad to be around after working out! Bad temper and just plain irritable. Could be the mental mood I get in during working out.

Does this happen to everybody?

Usually, I am quite moody and maybe even a bit down before a workout and through the early parts. But once I get the pump or I am nearing the end of a workout, I feel like I could do anything. It puts me on such a high for the rest of the day, undescribable feeling.

i wanna fuckin hurt someone evertime i go to the gym. little 110 pound guys that think they can lift huge amounts. i was doing squat the other day with 440 on the bar and on my fourth set i failed and this little puke behind me starts to laugh. well not only pissed me off but pissed my spotter off, so he turns around and says just what the fuck are you laughing at and that was end of conversation. the cock sucker probably couldn't squat 135, so where is his place to say anything. why don't people have any sense. never underestimate stupidity

Another thing that pissed me off was while I was doing machine presses, people would continually walk by the machine while I'm actually doing the lift. Now for this to make sense, the machine is in between a roof support and the cable row machine with about 3.5 to 4 feet of space in between. If they weren't just walking by the smith, it was some kid hopped up on juice coming up slamming the plates back onto the rack.

Oh and what about a spot? I know I should never go to heavy without a spotter, but in my situation, I have to do what I can. But why is it that fucking guys will try to hook up with a peoce of ass not five feet from a bro who could really use a spot?

I think I might change gyms if this shit keeps up

I hate it when someone loads plates onto a machine when I'm in the middle of a set. That messes with my concentration. Wait another 10 seconds and I'll be done or put the stuff someplace else.


Yesterday I got mad at some smartass who didn't unload the machine. I was doing chest and my hand is still weak as shit from surgery so no free weights, just machines and I'm only moving a max of 25 lb plates, the 45's are still painful to pick up. Having tp pull off 6 45's and the 2 25's just irritated the hell outta me because by the time I was done my hand was killing me and my sets were not as good as they could have been.

It was worse than that though. The person who left the plates on also left a half a cup of coffee on the floor next to the machine so I wasted about 2 minutes standing there waiting to see if someone was coming back to use the damn thing. Just because you're big and strong, it doesn't give you the right to leave shit around.

I finished that exercise and walked out too frustrated to deal with the crowd...Thursday nights are busy because most of the people don't come in on Friday nights.

Oh, and I also got mad at a poster I saw on the wall inbetween sets. It was step 5 of getting into shape and it was about hiring a trainer. There's a picture of a guy training a girl doing dumbell curls...get this...the picture shows her talking on a cell phone while she's training!

Yesterday was an angry day for me. Usually I'm very calm though and little irritates me.

I know he was as idiot to laugh at you and deserves everything he gets, but i hope you don't get pissed off and aggressive with everyone who is lighter and less strong than you..... I am not such a big guy myself, and I'd like to think that bigger guys in the gym don't get "pissed" with me just cos I am smaller than they are.

There is this one cat who talks on his cell phone between sets. Funny shit. I have no idea how he does it but then again I don't have a cell phone.

This advertisement says it all for me. There's one reason and one reason only to be in the gym and if you don't know what that is, you shouldn't be there. Save everything else for the locker room, lobby, sauna, etc.

I posted all these animalpak ads on the walls of my gym-inspires me when I'm not going hard enough-especially the Go Hard or Go Home and the Squat Til You Puke!

LOL. I was like, "dude, what the fuck are you doing". He says, "I cant read minds ya know". "I said we are standing right here you ass." He walked away. lol

You know alot of people have balls. The other day I was doing calve raises on the hack squat machine which no one uses and is in the way back of the gym. I have all my shit there and 10 plates on it. My shit is right next to it. I go to the water fountain real quick. I come back to see some guy taking all the weight off. I'm like i'm on that. He was a small scrawny guy and like cowered when he saw me and i'm not that big myself. I wanted to say dude i'm not gonna hurt you.

But Puddles I know what you mean about people leaving weights on. It's annoying as hell. I don't want to take that extra time to pick up your shit.
