people in the gym

[J.D.]

My rant, yesterday I was doing legs, Last thing left to do was stiff legged deadlifts. The gym I go to has a special station bolted to the floor. As I was walking over to it this girl gets in front of me with 5 pound dumbells to do lunges on it. :( I ask if she had many sets to do and she says yes, but doesn't even offer to let me use the rack in between sets. I don't like to be pushy so I go to the side and sit and wait for her to finish. What else can I do, get this she puts her back leg on it, not the front leg in order to actually get a lower lunge. In between sets she starts gabbing to some dork that goes there just to talk to every girl that comes in.

I sit and wait patiently. After about three sets she goes and puts her 5 pound dumbells back and comes back to station and I get up and ask are you finished, she tells me "Well I had more to do but you make me nervous sitting there" What else could I do, she didn't offer to share. Am I not supposed to finish my workout because she may get nervous. Go join a women's only gym then. Made me feel like shit for the rest of the day.

end rant

I feel for you. My gym has a 'womans only' area (which is actually equipped pretty well) but, of course, no women workout there...they prefer to clog up the main gym area. I'm thinking of using the womans area but think I'll get a lot of stares:mad:

Just another reason why I built a home gym.

I once had a chick ask to work in with me while I was doing squats. Then she wanted me to load and unload the bar myself after every set cause she was just using the bar and disn't hink she should have to help since she wasn't using the plates.
I was so pissed when she said that I had to leave or I was going to pimp slap her.

What ever happened to respecting others around.

ah, yes the good old fashioned pimp slap. :D

takes alot of self control to not unload on the assholes doesn't it?

waiting to use the equipment made her nervous?!? next time stick your hand in your pants, make funny noises, and see if she gets 'nervous' faster. there is no reason to feel bad about hurrying her, if she wants to meet people she can go to a bar. i just but in and say "hey, i'm gonna do a set between yours since your rest period is so long," i get dirty looks, but could give a rats ass. as for changing the weights on a squat bar, fuck that, tell her to grab an olympic bar from somewhere else or wait. people are welcome to work in with me, i offer it freely when i see people standing around. and i don't mind waiting a minute more between sets, but i won't change weights for them, fuck that.

Dude, that sucks balls. If any of you ever live near Devon, Pa I highly recomment joining this place called, Club La Masion. Kinda lame and up-class, but the guys who weight train there kick ass. I was the nervous fat kid walking into the gym and everyone was super nice to me. Helped me out a lot, always offered to help me out. Let me work it. It kicked ass, sorry for the rant, but I love that gym.

Next time some chick does that J.D. ask to work in, or did she turn you down for that?!? I would complain about her. I mean, thats just plain rude!!
