Most disrespectful thing others do at gym?

I remember man…
Like bodybuilders and powerlifters getting along, sharing, not needing “their own safe space”, even fucking with each other but always there for a proper spot or support.
We used to talk about training, shit in the latest magazines or who had that “cat food” tuna on sale 3 for a dollar.

Man I miss that so bad, this is why I try to instill it onto my guys and it seems to be working ao far (y)
And Back then if an impressive lift was done.... the whole gym would congratulate you/ him/ her/ milfs/ gilfs/ whatever.
I got to buy a Delorean and do some time travel.

Its good to have a training partner and you can start 1st and your training partner follows... Goes so quick.. I do supersets all the time in my PM pump movements... some only take 25-30 min to finish but damn whatta pump! :)
Just show people or holler out anyone using these 3-4 machines/ benches/ DB's ETC. If people give you the ok... just do it... It sucks that some of you go to gyms where people dont communicate.
You guys would have loved the 90's. Everybody talked, everybody were friends of the iron. The gyms house music was not blaring.. Sometimes.. lol ... You could tell EVERYBODY that your doing giant set, super set whatever... and no one gave a shit...And probably egg ya on! JUST when it comes time someone else hollars out im going a superset!!!! you respectfully let them go ahead of you. It was fun back then. I think my E2 is high.. or I am.
Just a fun vibe. This day and age kinda sucks.

Exactly how my training partner and I do supersets. He starts on one I start on the other and just swap back and forth.

I'm fortunate to train at a gym with competitive bodybuilders, powerlifters, and strongman competitors.

The other side of this is what I call “Perfume Pedros”. Cunts load up on the body spray before coming in. That shit chokes me when I am trying to breath.
I try to drop shitty farts on them if I have one in the chamber.

Ah yes, the guys doused in stripper juice. Rare here, but I’ve run into it.

Sitting on a piece while messing around on their phone

Super sets, circuits, zig zag sets, or giant sets while the gym is busy.

Using equipment to sit their shit on.

Standing or working out in front of the db rack.

Putting their camera in the way.

Not racking their weights or putting them back where they belong.

Hording multiple pairs of dbs.

Talking loud on their phone. Speaker phone.

Blue tooth speakers.

Trying to talk to me while I'm training.

Running around acting like an idiot.

Bad personal trainers.

People that go up to others trying to give unsolicited advice.

Judging people who are minding their own buisness. We all started somewhere and the hardest part is simply getting in their and getting started. We all were clueless "idiots" at some point. People don't know what they don't know. If other people in a public gym being clueless irritates you then build a home gym. If people training like pussies irritated you build a home gym.
If you have the ability to notice then you're training like a pussy.
 
had a trainer come up and want to share my bench with me, for him and his client. I was bugged cause it's awfully gutsy asking to work 2 people in instead of 1, and he's training him. go pick something else. but i was nice and said OK. halfway through I'm like where is trainer dude? I look around and saw that another bench had opened up, and he was using it, LEAVING his trainee at my bench. I held my cool but still eye this dude when I see him

A great list but if you are really into this game, it should be impossible to not see and therefore judge what people are doing, like "trainers" telling people to do shit totally wrong. I am not irritated per se by people being clueless, but mores irritated that I know I can help and desperately want to, but every single motherfucker I have attempted to help, has given me some sort of "I got this bro".
So, I have stopped trying.
So, why is this a thing at all? Because it is in my nature to help people. If an old lady is about to step in front of a bus, should I just let it happen? "I would have stopped her from getting hit by that bus but I am not into giving unsolicited advice."
Maybe you think this isn't a solid analogy but helping is helping, as is not.
Of course, filming it with your phone is mandatory.
The lack of people giving a fuck about others and the general egocentrism today is why the world is so fucked up. It's either mind your own business or be a meddling Karen. No in between. It is disgraceful.
No doubt we all started somewhere. The big difference is that when I started out and was doing stupid shit, guys came over to me and told me so. Then they helped me. Were it not for this, I would have wasted a fuckload of time in the gym. But that was how it used to be; ask for help and get it. Someone wants to help, they came over and were appreciated for their input.

And as far as this whole "I am in the zone bro. I don't see anything around me" shit that guys are always saying...BULLSHIT! I see what people look like and very few if any guys are "in the zone".
Also, if you don't see things around you, good luck with that. Talk about being a victim, because your lack of situational awareness is going to possibly make you one someday.
I see EVERYONE who enters the gym, or and other business I am in for that matter. I assess each person walking in. I am totally "in the zone" just about every day I am in the gym, but I still see the things going on around me.
I wish sometimes it wasn't so but call in a (former) occupational hazard.
 
Where to fucking begin. The kids these days well for starters it seems damn near a third of them are on gear and even more emo than they normally would be. That's so much fun in itself! Then add in them just leaving their shit all over the gym, standing over the dumbell racks, making obscene poses in the all the wrong places at all the wrong times, just being little fuckwads that they are. It's as if I can feel myself turning into a grumpy old angry man as I watch them in disdain. Get off my lawn you little (ok not so little) fuckers!

💯 It’s a public gym FFS.

The elite athletes here do nothing but talk down about all the people who don’t lift bro. All the fat people in America eating GMO foods cooked in plastic and not taking their bodies to the next level with PED are subhumans. If you’re not sub 10% BF you’re a fat pig. And you’re gonna hear about it.

But…

When these people step in the gym and are clueless, untrained and in the way, wasting time or whatever, you’re gonna hear about it even more.
How dare they venture out of their living room into the sacred gym. Don’t they know that there’s serious wanna be “body builders” in there.

So disrespectful for them to even try improving their lives.
 
One guy hogs smith machine for 2 hours doing legs every single day, he walks around grabs every 45lb plate off every smith machine and stacks them in front of him against the wall leaving every smith machine with 25lb plates and lower, then I watched him spill his drink , put down some paper towels and just leave it like that and gym managers don’t care and nobody says anything to him, when he there I walk out and go back later I can’t stand the audacity

Do you ever say anything to him? I mean, it’s your gym too.

it’s annoying mid set when some lady comes in complaining that the trash needs taken out or that the dishes aren’t gonna wash themselves… soooo annoying… Oh wait that’s just my wife FML… 😂😂

It even worse when it happens mid sex. Then she's even more bitchy. Its like look this would have never happened if you didn't nag me all the time.
 
Two things that I’ve noticed when you travel like I do and you end up with a couple of $10 a month memberships to places like planet fitness, which is not really a gym, it almost looks like a gym, but it’s not because of the people that are in it. They do that on purpose there’s no chalk for your hands. There’s no bench equipment just Smith machines, etc. but it’s how they make their money and I did agree to work out there. The two things I noticed there that completely and totally pissed me offare: #1, people who put a towel on a piece of gear as if that somehow holds their place while they’re all fucking around and filling their water bottle or some other bullshit. You’re either ready to work out on that fucking machine or you’re not. #2, younger guys with small arms who have no fucking idea what exercise you’re doing, and they will literally walk up to you and start talking to you while you’re working out, which in itself is a big fucking no-no, but they ask if you want to see the proper form on how to perform that motion. I’ve only had that happen at planet fitness. No actual gym would allow a fucking scarecrow like that in. You’re just playing do not fucking talk to a man that is trying to push till failure on a fucking machine unless your intent is to get a kick in the head. And you certainly don’t walk up with arms like broomsticks and tell a guy like me that you’re gonna show me proper form that you learned on the Internet.
 
Oh man, this is something I was just thinking about yesterday. It's seems to be females that do this by the way. Take dumbbells to superset next to machines, and not rerack them when they are done. Also rack the dumbbells when using them in the wrong spot on the rack. Im just saying that you grabbed them from a specific labeled spot on the rack, yet racking 20lb in the 50 or 60 spot

This is the "yard sale" effect. I watch them take them to the opposite side of the gym, where the owner put a set so people wouldn't do this.

The gym is generally an annoying place. It didn't used to be but it sure is now. Few exceptions.
