Gym Assholes

Cool story

>>38105562
meh, asshole gonna ass
ignore the guy and move on

Middled aged dudes at gyms seem much more likely to be assholes

Every young guy I talk to is chill

>>38105562
you're too soft.

>>38105631
I agree but that's just how I was raised, lad

>>38105650
well, this is a learning experience in dealing with assholes then.

Were you standing around watching and waiting for him to finish? I fucking hate that.

Not necessarily an asshole, but this middle aged dude that's about 6' (everything about his body is big, but especially his belly) literally drops 70-80kg diddlys on the ground to make an unnecessary noise. He also asks >"WHAT ARE YOU TRAINING HERE?"
in a squat rack...

>>38105562

I never take this shit no matter who the guy is. If they're alone they have no reason not to let you work in.

My pet hates:
>Go to use free equipment
>PT comes over and said he's using it with his client
>Proceed to watch them jump between three bits of equipment taking a five minute break between each set

>DYEL kids who walk straight to the dumbbells and spend 20 minutes throwing up 12kg curls with the worst form possible.

>Advanced curlbros who do drop sets with six different weights for seated hammer curls and never put them away

>People who sit at the end of the bench for 10 minutes between sets with their Beats headphones on before doing 5 reps of 60kg.

>People who sweat to absolute fuck and leave patches all over everything when they leave

>>38105868
so you basicly hate 90% of the people in the gym lol

> go to uni gym right after new year's, place is flooded with new year's resolution and "burn off holiday fat" casuals
> the one guy in the whole gym who looks competent is doing alternating curls right next to the loaded calf raise machine
> 50% chance he's doing supersets

> the calf raise machine is one of the few open, so I figure I'll do calf raises. there are 3 plates loaded but maybe someone who doesn't know gym etiquette left them there
> ask him if he's doing supersets, he ignores me. has headphones in. i assume he doesn't want to talk to me because he thinks I'm a casual
> fuck him then. stack up to 6 plates on each side
> give him one last chance. "you're not doing supersets man?"
> "good fucking luck lifting that man"
> glare at him, do 15 calf raises with perfect form
> "shoulda just said you were supersetting..."
> leave weights for him to derack

>>38105899
In the weightlifting part yeah but the cardio bunnies and lady lifters make up for it.

>that one old dude who does his entire routine aside from cables and leg press in the squat cage with shit rom and screaming like he's going super saiyan
The faggot literally has dumbells on the floor around the cage

Why are people middle aged dudes such fucking cunts?

>>38106611
Bro everybody sucks. I am a nice guy, I don't see the point in being so shitty unless you're an anxious lil bitch. I'd do that in highschool, great mask.

>>38106699
Fucking this

It's literally 5x easier to be nice to people than it is to be mean. You have to go out of your way to be an ass to people. That's what pisses me off when running into people like I described in my OP

>>38106717
Women are the same way. That's why chads exist. If your a dick and one up some random dude she'll be all over your dick. Haven't found a girl I don't hate, great sex and they can be fun. Just really shit tier morals

>>38105562
Why don't we ever have threads about the nice guys at the gym?
>doing sets of atg squats
>already had one session of squats (started at 225 and built up to 370 for 4*2 first time, this time I was building up to 350 for 5*3)
>fail on my last set
>bummed out
>guys see and come help me rack the weights

Don't let it affect you. Go on with your day

>>38105688
This. Nothing bothers me more than people who loiter while you're finishing up a set or two and stare you down until you finish. Messes up my mojo

>>38106717

Yeah ofc but its also good to learn how to deal with assholes and not let them get to you

See this as an opportunity to practice your being based

>>38105975
Those are 100x worse you beta

>>38105607
Old white dudes at my gym are the biggest ass hats. The couple of old black dudes are super chill. Young dudes, super chill. Old white guys act like they own the fucking place just giving stink eye to everyone and trying to chat up the cardio bunnies. The looks on the cardio bunnies face when the dudes are trying to talk is so cringey.

>>38105913

You obviously dont even fucking lift, post a picture/video of yourself u fucking lard piece of shit.

if you're doing fucking 135lbs powerclean/press and dropping that shit making all kinds of noise. kindly stop because i'm not going to say anything.

>>38105562
he probably just had a bad day, it's not your problem anon, really, you might meet him again another day and he'll be all smiles, just try not to hold a grudge, it's not worth it

>>38105868

>just looks at me and leaves
>all the little skellys leave

He's been back and every time he just stares at me with this lifeless stare. Whenever I catch him doing this I just flex my traps like a cobra or something, and he knocks it off.

>>38105562
You feel like shit because he treated you like the bitch you are, and you did fuck-all about it. Man up you fucking pussy, or you'll end up with some fuck-ugly wife who will barely tolerate settling with your betafaggotry, you'll end up breeding some skinny-leg jean-wearing cunt kids who will continue your legacy of fucking up the gene pool. Uppercut yourself.

I imagined this guy as the "alpha" male.

Pretty much except he's bald has tattoos and wears wife beaters

>that person who loads up lmao10pl8 on the leg press during peak fucking hours and does quarter reps with 5 minute breaks
I mean I get loading up those plates when you can do full ROM but doing that shit during peak hours is inconsiderate to say the least.

>>38105562
I was using the urinals at my gym; i usually dont use them but since some retards decided to crap all over the seats and floor of the stalls i was forced to use them. Main reason is because im a really nervous pisser and i like the comfort of my own closed off space.

So i was happily peeing away when some guy came up and started to use the urinal next to me. At this time my piss flow completely stopped and i was trying ever so hard to get it back, trying to fill my head with happy thoughts. The guy turned to look at me for a second and i panicked, my face started to turn red and i began to sweat. I dont know wut came over me at that second but i turned to him - i looked at his face, then down at his penis...and then back at his face and then stupidly blurted out, "hey man, nice cock".

Being nervous makes you do stupid things, the guy gave me a weird and disgusted look and walked away. I had to cover my face as i walked out of my gym so the guy wouldnt notice me. I then went home and cried in my bed.

what the fuck is wrong with me

I dont know if i can ever go back to that gym again. Thinking off cancelling my membership

>We have 3 benches, and people are too polite to just move them clipboard.
>THe PT and client rotate around about 3 bits of equipment
>I get they're trying to make their pay, but come on, this is a large and very popular gym
>Having one bench out of commission for 30 fucking minutes is really bottlenecking this shit
>THen I see them using it
>They aren't fucking benching
>THey're sitting (squatting?) onto the bench then standing back up
>Jesus fuck why

Fuck that particular PT. The other PT's in my gym are eerily nice; I've even had one check with me to see if I was using equipment, because I paused near it to check my phone. THen this one jerk shows up and is just horrible.

>>38105913
if you can calf raise 540lbs, no one who's been in the gym for longer than a month will mistake you for a casual. This story is shit. You are shit.

I have such a vivid picture in my mind of a 6'7" guy dressed like j-roc from trailer park boys, making a pseudo-threatening face looking down at op, a 5'5" 270lb tank of a human who's annoyed but more confused at the creature looking at him. Then in a hyped fit of display, his eyes dart to op's dumbbell, and to prove he's a big boy he snatches it up, but when he tries to go up he pauses and puts all of his force in it. Op's eyes just slowly follow the ascent of the weight with a slight addition of amazement and curiosity. All the while a PACK of skeletons just look on shuffling behind j-roc and watching with agape mouths. Then after he's tomato red for a solid 10 seconds op realizes what he's trying to do, and when he let's the emotion of realization sneak onto his face, the skeleton sees this and in a final fit of distress he let's the weight drop and speed walks out of the gym, pack in tow.
Fuck I need to draw this NOW

You'd think that after knowing a guy from high school that I would feel sad or something, but it felt really great, like a weight lifted from my shoulders. I went about my day as though nothing happened.

The guy is a very genuinely shitty person and was never dependable.

0 doubt in my head he has already stopped working out and is just playing Pokemon Go for hours straight.

Other than that, the gym is pretty empty and quite nice.

>Go to the gym on base
>Pretty much everyone puts their plates back
>Have yet to run into anyone disrespectful

Who else /JBER/ here?

Also being in Alaska blows but Buckner is awesome especially after the renovations.

Its always middle aged white people who are the biggest cunts wherever they are... they complain about millennial entitlement, but these aged cumstains act out like they were given timeouts instead of beatings when they were kids....

>>38108831
it's usually entitled losers who think that age makes them able to demand respect from younger people

there are of course a lot of bro-tier old people who are socially adjusted.

He browses 4chan and we had a similar sense of humor/sense of politics which is why we hung out but we grew apart when I quit video games and started to improve myself while he stayed the same. Maybe he'll see this.

He was the kind of guy that genuinely tries to rag on you instead of banter and he went through academic probation at community college. He's destined to be a loser. It's nice to be cut off from failure.

honestly though, I was expecting this to happen.

I had to change gyms because the PTs were so fucking selfish. Superset with every fucking piece of equipment there. I started moving their shit (i would let them get back on it when I finished my set), but eventually they all got very passive agressive and talked shit behind my back. PT's are cancer.

>>38109215
>talked shit behind my back
>2016
>giving a fuck what some faggot thinks about you

>>38109237
Nah, I switched to a cheaper 24/7 powerlifting gym filled with people on pounds of gear that are honest, decent, helpful folks. Much better. The old one was in a rich neighborhood, all the clients were 60 or older, above a post office. Couldn't even deadlift without catching shit. I didn't leave because I give a flying fuck what a DYEL PT(s) thinks, I left because their pettiness was distracting me from pushing heavy weights. Those negros would stand around the gym like its watercooler time at the fucking office lmao. Quite an upgrade mate.

>go to small gym around 11:30 at night
>only me and my friend most nights
>occasionally one chubby lady who will do an hour on the treadmills or n early thirties asian dude who chats with us and asks for tips on his routines

One day I'll have a story for you guys

>>38107147
So he's a harmless old fart who stays contained at the dyel machine? I don't understand the problem.

>>38108764
Damn straight it feels good. Some people are just a draining burden on everyone around them. The kindest thing you can do is cut them off and let them eventually figure out shit for themselves.

>>38109005

Shit son how much to come vacation to in Japan for a week?

>>38109215
Fuck man. THat's awful. As I said, my gym PT's are all really nice. Then again, the dude who I've realized is the manager at the gym is really hands on. I often see him cruisin' around, putting weights away or taking people on tours of the facilities. Really nice guy, but when any of his staff are being dicks, I always see him pull them aside and talk to them. All the PT's at my gym are contracted on, and not actually part of the gym. I have a feeling that he'd drop them like stones if they were that selfish. Then again, my gym is a newer chain gym, so their main sticking point is that they're nicer than other gyms.

Glad you found a better gym though, anon.

>>38109237
Yeah, but it can be frustrating when the PT's or even staff don't want to help you. Issue with membership? Gonna be a pain in the dick to figure out. Equipment broke? You're gonna be hoping they don't make a scene for the next week. Plus it's annoying when you see them chatting and looking at you.

Source; trained at 4 gyms, the worst was the shitty community gym where the PT's were all basically fat, old highschoolers. Only competent people in that entire bloody outfit were the ones who worked for the overall facility.

At least twice a week whenever i go into the gym (around the same time every night) some cunt has left weights laying around the squat rack, and lately i have found that somehow the fucking rack has been shoved closer to the wall so the 20kg weights can't fit on the holders

> last week
> go into gym, everything a fucking mess
> mfw having to deload the bar, take most of the weights off the squat rack so i can shove it away from the wall then pick up the weights left around the floor and put them on the rack

do these people throw the bar against the rack or something i don't understand how the fucking thing gets shoved against the wall like that

>we both just roll our eyes, I get off, my friend does a set
>roid monkey continues to scream about our terrible form
>his turn to do a set, he adds a third plate... ok
>he stares at my friend and I with a murderous grin and, I kid you not, laughs. He fucking laughs while benching his 3 plates
>he finishes and looks at me and says "OK, BRAH, YOU LIFT THE SAME AS ME RIGHT?"
>"WAIT, I THINK YOU NEED SOME MORE" he screams, adding a 4th plate. My friend and I just leave and lose our sides hearing him laugh as he continues to press, his laughter could be heard outside the fucking gym

I go to fairly popular LA Fitness in my city. I try to go earlier in day to avoid huge workout traffic and get my lifts done in less than an hour. 3 squat racks, extra space around squat area for exercises like deadlifts and powercleans. In other words, zero excuse for using the racks for something stupid

BUT EVERY
FUCKING
WEEK

There is some dumbass who DL's directly in-front of one of the racks and won't move to let others use it. What gets me really autistic is that all they have to do is back up like 3 feet and the rack is open again! It's always some mexican retard doing it.

Just last week:

>Two mexican DYELs deadlifting directly in-front of rack, other 2 racks are occupied with real lifters
>DL isn't even 200lbs, probably 185 max.
>I ask them to move back a couple feet so I could bring a spare bar in and start my squats
>"We only have a few more sets bro"
>They proceed to lift this as if it's the heaviest lift in existence, grunting loudly and SLAMMING the weight on the ground each rep
>Proceed to do 5 more sets each

goddammit do I hate them

jesus christ you made my day

the strangest thing, every single time I have leg day, there are 3 sets of clips on the squat rack.

the locker room party of naked hang-about geriatrics were blocking the way to the fucking pool the other day to look at a video one of them took on vacation.

Three grandpas standing around, vintage balls flapping in the wind and probably into each other, blocking the path.

Another dude trying to get into the locker area was waiting around for them to stop being butt buddies. When I asked them to move. they just left enough room for me to play dodge the dong.

>>38105562
I had a guy like this so I took out my knife hidden in my sock tossed it to him. He caught it and then I clocked him right across the jaw with the 20 lb dumbbell next to me. Walked to the front and told the girls he came at me with a knife and they should call the cops. He was banned and arrested. Problem solved.

>>38105761
I drop every single deadlift I do, except when I am warming up with the bar. I'm not interested in competing in powerlifting and the eccentric part of the lift bothers my knees. Sorry not sorry, if you don't like loud noises go to planet fitness.

>>38107351
I don't usually laugh out loud. This made me laugh out loud.

>>38106984
This is why I always insist that people work in with me, rather than making them wait. Taking off or putting on a plate or two for them to lift is a lot less burdensome than feeling them stare daggers into the back of your head while you finish your sets. Plus sometimes you make a new friend.

>>38119188
That makes you a weak bitch who can't properly perform the entire deadlift movement, enjoy being a bitch.

>>38107117

>>38119218
Not the slightest bit mad bro. I used to think I had to do everything a certain way and I got shitty progress and injuries. Now I train the way that feels best to me, my lifts keep going up and I feel like a crisp new hundred dollar bill.

>>38106897
>Why don't we ever have threads about the nice guys at the gym?
No shit. Just last night all 5 benches were busy, so I just waited, and one dude approached me and insisted I work in. Super nice guy. Two sets in and a bench freed up with no one waiting so I moved as I was doing much lighter weight than him.

>>38119246
>I focus on the eccentric and concentric phase of cleans
>You're a pussy if you only do half the lift
See, I can say silly things too

>>38119275
Maybe your lifts are going up because you're only doing half of them

>>38119275
You felt like shit deadlifting properly because you were doing it wrong, you're able to improve it easier because you're omitting the second half of the movement. Instead of manning up and deloading and learning proper form you decided to half ass it.

I didn't know about planet fitness rules. When my body started going into beast mode after a few sets I took my shirt off and started working out. They got pissed and I told them they were nazis. No more planet fitness.

I am so happy I don't have to deal with any of the shit in this thread. The only downsides are that I have to drive a half hour out of my way and there aren't many chicks, but 100% worth it to have such a great environment to train in.

>>38119306
Yes, that must be it. Can't be getting any stronger, because everyone knows that if you don't lower the barbell to the ground the rep is null and void.

>>38119312
Why should I? There are plenty of movements that are 100% concentric that make you stronger (the olympic lifts and all their variations, any jumping, throwing, or swinging exercises, etc.). Why should I care about being able to lower a deadlift slowly to the ground? Why should I train in a less comfortable way to appease some homo on 4chan? Should I sacrifice progress and joint health for internet brownie points? I think not. Stay mad hater.

>>38116369
I do DLs in front of squat rack due to limited space, but offer the rack to anyone waiting if they want to grab a bar. And at 7 weeks in to SL, 185 lbs. is pretty heavy for me. Heck they all have been from the beginning. Progressive overload.

>>38119414

Almost all of those are primarily used to train power output, with strength gains largely being driven by assistance work.

You don't have to train the eccentric phase - and there's plenty of times not to - but your examples are kind of weak.

>>38119435
I understand that I don't, and I have found that for myself training deadlifts without the eccentric phase is optimal, so that's what I do. My deadlift has gone up about 100lbs in since January, so I really don't care if you think I'm not training correctly. I'm not trying to convince you to do what I do, feel free to do whatever you want.

>>38119420
> And at 7 weeks in to SL, 185 lbs. is pretty heavy for me.
No reason to slam it on the ground every rep.

>>38119510
Oh, I try to lower it as gently as I can for that eccentric bonus. Even if it takes me over a strained second to lock out, I can still pretty easily let it down easy. Can't say the same for my 115 lb. row, but I still try.

The person who comes within an inch of you midset (just wait 10 seconds asshole, don't try to grab a weight if I could hit you on my lift)

The guy who you ask to spot and tell them specifically to not assist you unless you ask, and they assist you anyway as soon as you start to struggle (not anywhere near as bad as not racking weights)

The guy who talks on the phone loudly to a friend for 30 minutes

The guy who plays music out loud

The most recent thing that was annoying to happen to me was deadlifting on one side of the gym nowhere near any other equipment, go to grab dumbbell to do curls inbetween sets, come back and several guys have put all their backpacks on and around the bar

>>38119347
*their

not 'there'

This one guy kind of keeps track of my lifts and when im not progressed since the last time i talked to him he looks dissappointed in me and makes me feel bad. I guess he just cares about me?

So there's this regular at my gym...
I'm just going to tell you what he wears, every day, like a uniform.

Black rolled up beanie
Hipster beard
Super tight, deepest v-neck made by man, to show off his gorilla sized chest (No leg day for this guy, ever.)
Wrestling shorts, white spats underneath
Toothpick legs
Timberland fucking boots, I shit you not.
Goes around acting like he's gods own PT, offering bro tier advice to every person in the gym. Naturally, he hates my guts since I just ignore it.

They have figured out their whole Chad look is over. They have married taht retarded chick who was behind Chads so they obviously have a hard time dealing with her yelling,i-know-everything-ness and her non-stop spending money. They are probably jealous of the youth who have their life in front of them and the best years of their life upcomming. They would kill a youngling if they could decrease their age. Thus they are angry little fucks who look funny at the gym.

Jesus just the other day a guy did literally this, all while draped over an incline bench. He must be one of those people who thinks you need to yell in to a phone. He then proceeded to moan loudly with ever 1/4 ROM rep. Was pretty funny. but I didn't need that bench.

That's so fucking annoying. When I'm trying to squat or do OHP I don't want to have to deal with my years ringing because some dumbass is deadlifting too high of a weight and lets the meal slam into the ground.

If you want to slam the weights, then get a home gym, fuck off with telling people to go to PF, they pay their membership to and don't want to deal with your retarded antics.

maybe he was just fed up i had a workout partner one time that took fucking forever in between sets i would just do a second set while he kept fucking around. he made an hour long workout take 2+hrs on the reg.

I'm talking about for example you're doing squats in the squat rack, and someone comes over while you're midset and grabs weights off the squat rack (coming inches away from the bar while you're squatting) - or you're using the bench press, and someone comes within inches of the bar while you're benching to grab weights off the rack next to the press; those are the most common for my gym (you may not have that issue if in your gym the racks are not near the lifts)

>>38105688

How many kg is 1pl8?

>>38126297
20.4

>>38120055
That story triggers me.

>>38126297
>>38126312
1pl8 means one 45 pound plate on each side of the 45 pound bar, 135 pounds. 61.235 kg

>>38126462
In 2 weeks he went from benching a bar to benching 61kg?

>>38126523
He went from January repping the bar to just 2 weeks ago repping 1pl8. ~6 months

>>38126537
Ahhh. My mistake.

Only time I have come close to a confrontation was a woman who wouldn't let me work in on the pull up bars, so i walked to the other one and used it instead. Fuck her, she was a cunt for 0 reason.

Downsides:
- No dedicated squat rack, have these stands with pins and locks instead that you have to set up
- MILF's use machines for their non intended purpose and I have to wait sometimes, but since I know all the trainers I just ask if I can work in, they usually have 0 problem.
- Is 10 miles from my home, I have a 24 hour less than a mile away but fuck that.

Gibe tips to deal with assholes plox

I only started at the gym 5 months ago, but my gym recently had the goon squad enrol with a PT. They come in 2 of my 3/4 days and it's just like, I was always a little indignant about the stories of these types of women in the gym believing them to be overblown or just people picking on women for being women, but you weren't exaggerating at all were you guys?

They're those kind of chicks that are on the kebab end of chunky if you know what I mean (fellow Britfags will understand), but they come in wearing crop tops and boots shorts with a great big muffin top, full face of makeup/false eyelashes, hair done, the works. Every time they go into the corner and begin doing side crunches on yoga mats which progresses into a fervent squealing and bemoaning their fate, then after they go walk on the treadmills for around 10 mins, by which point I'm on the rowing machine, and they glare at me.
They've only recently begun coming into the weighted area whereas previously whenever they tried to come down and saw me they'd turn round and walk right back up the stairs.
Now they come in and huddle in the corner sitting on the benches flapping 1-2kg dumbells around whilst gossiping and tittering about how "dead fit they're gonna look" and which local they intend to have to spelunking their depths. Recently they've taken to start whispering and giggling whenever I'm squatting, but the PT actually spends more time flirting with them them he does training them.

idk mang. I don't want to be 'that' girl but sometimes I don't understand other women.

not me but a friend of mine
>group of guys who never unrack when they're done

>tfw can't just up and tell them to fuck off because I work with these people

>>38130155
that shit's easy senpai
grunting is normal. do that. loud grunting and yelling is earned. you get that only when you're really putting out maximal effort
same with putting down weights. having weights make noise is fine. slamming weights belongs to the realm of maxed deadlifts and oly lifts.
wiping down equipment is only really a concern if you leave overt sweat marks on the equipment. if you're starting your workout with bench, you probably won't be sweating enough to actually warrant wiping the bench down.
if you're finishing your workout with leg raises, you may be sweating enough to wipe down the bench or captain's chair station.
basically, be conscientious to the state of the gym when you're in it. you should pretty well know what to do when you're in there.

Holy shit, I thought people exaggerated when they said americans sue each other over everything. How the fuck does this work? A gym is for people who work out only, kids running around is dangerous for them and the gym goers, it's distracting, and they haven't paid for membership. Also doesn't your gym have a minimum age rule? This is fucking perplexing.

Either anon is lying or the owner is an idiot. The only legit lawsuit will be for negligence when a kid causes someone to get injured. The parents could try to sue claiming racism if they are kicked out, but that would be thrown out quickly. You can sue for anything but you can't win BS lawsuits like that.

>>38119237
this depends a lot on how much someone actually knows about form. If someone is a DYEL newbie and in the gym for one of the first times, I think it's okay to politely offer help. I had that happen to me, and it really helped me get my DL form right. Unsolicited broscience gym advice by curlbros directed at someone who is obviously experienced, however, is annoying as fuck. Good thing I now have a home gym.
