If you guys get this annoyed at the gym, get a home gym, because people aren't going to go away. It's not worth it. I just put on my headphones and zone out. I don't even know anyone is around me once I get into my routine.

When I was at the gym today i see this guy who's like 35 and 100 lbs. He's on a plate loaded row machine. So he puts two 45 plates on there. I'm like there's no way he's gonna lift them. Well he does, but he pulls it up and proceeds to do reps that move not even a half inch up and down. I just had to laugh.

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?

sounds like low blood sugar bro, if i haven't gotten something in my system at least a few hours before lifting i get the same way.

now i just shake my head in bewilderment when i see half the shit in the gym, like sana, it's a source of amusement. this kid jumped on the cables and started doing bicep curls, and he must've been a contortionist in a previous life because i swear to god he was moving his BACK 35 degrees while his elbow joint almost remained static. another kid there throws 295 on the bp, and asks me to spot him, saying he's only doing negatives. now i'm all for negatives to increase your bench, but this kid was about to collapse his chest. i suggested he cut back on the weight, and 5 minutes later he asks for another spot, same weight on the bar. i simply said no thanks, deadlifts aren't on today's split for me.

My favorite are a couple of preppy wannabes that come in to workout in Abercrombie cutoffs. They look nicer while they're lifting than I do when I'm going to a wedding. They leave with their hair neatly parted and smelling like (insert name of favorite pretty cologne here).

I hate it when guys bring in their girlfriends (I lift at a college where there are 3 girls for every 1 guy, so this happens a lot) to show off, and then they show off poorly. Not only that, they teach their lady friends bad lifting techniques. I only weigh 140 myself, but I'm fairly certain I can bend those posers in half while they try and fling the 40s up and down in an attempt to get something to move on their arms. Part of this aggression could be due to the fact that I'm single and serious about lifting and these punks have chicks who are impressed by what isn't even real. Oh well. They motivate me to pick up those dumbbells after the poser is done with them and curl them a few times with my skinny frame.

The end.

I think you may be right. I've recently upped my pre and post-workout carbs, especially the high GI post-workout carbs and I do much better.

wow.... no matter where anyone works out there's bound to be some idiots around making us laugh...

there is this older guy at my gym that like to coach other people on their form and technique, except this guy is skinny little rail and has some of the shittiest form ever. It's like he's trying to train people who aren't asking for help.

people make me laugh so hard :)

When I first discosvered front squats, I was lifting at powerhouse in Pensacola and some guy, who was decently built dude, told me I was doing them wrong. Being it was my first time doing that lift I asked how I should be doing them. His reply was, "the bar needs to be behind your neck not in front" and he just walked off.

In hindsight that was funny but I hated Powerhouse so it wasn't that funny. Actually a lot of my annoances from lifting comes from Powerhouse.

okay, as of late i've been seeing some really strange ass shit in my gym...
this one guy puts one hand over his front, just above the nether-regions, and the other behind his head, and does these weird pelvic thrust like moves... he always does it in the corner, probably to stay out of sight, but it looks like he's humping the squat rack or medicine balls. i wanna ask what he's doing, but am afraid i'll bust out laughing. could these be kiegel exercises?
and then the other day, this old russian guy comes in and starts doing some of the weirdest shit i've ever seen. he starts by doing some combination moves where he's only rotating his back and not causing any real bicep-curls/shoulder-presses to occur. and then, get this, he picks up a 20 pound curl bar and starts spinning it like a baton. he didn't have that great of a grip on it either so the people around him quickly and quietly picked their shit up and moved, while my friend and i just couldn't help it and started busting out laughing. i've been a newbie too, and so i try my best to not laugh out loud when i see stupid shit, but i couldn't help it. i mean, WTF?
