    i dont give a shit about anyone in the gym based on how THEY decide to work out. you want to work out in a group of 5, then go for it. you want to talk shit all day long and stay small and fat, good for you.

    all the guys hating on people for the little things that they do should shut the fuk up. its not YOUR gym. people dont have to behave as YOU want them to.

    now people who affect my workout directly, ok now theyre a different story. these people:

    -talk to me in the middle of a set, or otherwise throw me out of my schedule. i dont take infinitely log breaks between sets, unlike others, so if you want to yak, you got about 45 seconds

    -dont rerack their weights. it takes me thatmuch longer to sort my shit out if theres weight everywhere

    -people who put weight plates back on the rack but mix them up. its not a fucking abacus, its a weight stack. its not fucking hard. one rack, one size plate. dont mix 5s 10s 22s and 45s on all 4 racks.

    -people who claim a machine but then wander away and do something else. your spot is where your towel is. why should i have to ask 4 guys if anyone is using a certain machine?

    -people who take attachments off machines and leave them somewhere far far away. if you want to take the close grip handles off the seated row, the fine. but DONT fucking leave it across the room on the cable crossover

    -people who take one of each of 3 pairs of dumbbells. dont you realise that when you do that, all 3 sets are useless to most people?

    -people who fuck up the spring collars, bending them and making them hard as fuck to use afterwards. idiots.

    -people who hang their towel on a piece of equipment that i want to use, making me think it is being used. the always fucking happens with benches, and the dip rack.

    there are more, but ill shut up now :)

          Good thread.....heres some more for ya!

          What irritates me in my gym are these fat middleaged guys that come into the gym thinking they are like, powerlifters or something. They have potbellies for crying out loud! They have shitty form and their bodies are flailing around everwhere. But what really irritates me is their screaming and grunting when they lift and they arent even lifting much weight at all. One dude THROWS the weight, not drops it! One day I saw that and I just about died laughing because he threw it like it was so heavy and it was a 60lb weight!

          Also people, usually guys who take up space RIGHT in front of the freeweight rack and stand there and lift their weights so I can't get to the ones I want and have to wait till they are finished. The rack takes up one whole wall and there are plenty of mirrors to go around!

          The lady on the bike next to me who has her headphones on and singing Rob Zombie at the top of her lungs.

            Got a new one...

            Stupid old guys, with the commercial gym's 'personal trainer', doing deadlifts, with the bumper plates, on the olympic platform....

            while I'm obviously waiting to get on the platform, with my Olympic lifting shoes on.... and warming up with some snatches on the floor behind them off of the platform.

              I cant stand people of ANY age coming into the weight room & talking the whole damn time even during their reps loud as shit to where nobody else can even concentrate enough to do their own shit. Nobody wants to tell them to shut the hell up because they dont wanna look like a dick...but I guess some people just need to be told to shut the fuck up to know theyre gettin on everybodys nerves.

                I hear ya, bro.....

                Equally irritating is the guy/gal who is doing 20,000 reps using 2 oz dumbbells about 20 feet from the mirror and I am waiting patiently for them to get done so as to not cut in front of them to re-rack my dumbbells. One of them grumbled at me once for cutting in front of them and I told them to stand next to the mirror next time.....
