Whats annoying about my gym? Some asshole on the staff decided to put "no deadlifting" signs in front of the squat rack yet. Apparently some of us that like to squat then dead afterwards were holding up the racks from people who wanted to get in there and curl or do upright rows. Fags.

Thats Brutal, just keep deadlifting man. My gym frowns on deadlifting and tries to enforce a "belt while deadlifting" rule, cause apparently it's dangerous and a liability to do deads without a support belt...But I just sneak em in.

Thing that annoys me the most is group of 6 all using the same rack when i start my workout and still doing the same exercise when I'm done my work out cause thay talk for 10 minutes between sets. Also un-educated/ un-experienced 18 year old kid with the worst form and technique being huge cause he's is blatently juicing up.

People that interrupt your set ask you if you're using the 5lb dumbells that happen to be within 2 metres of you, whilst you're deadlifting big weight.

So glad I left...
i would ****en snap in that situation. you pay gym fees and you can get kicked off in the middle of your set by employees? i would spit right in there face no questions asked.

my gym also has a policy that if you are benching more than 1/3rd your weight you need a spot. i got approached the other day for when warming up with 135lbs on the bench... wowzers. i could understand over your bodyweight even for experienced lifters but thats just overkill.

seriously though, all the owners are afraid of being sued for an injury, its not that they are trying to be an ass. All in all its a stupid rule though and I'd be pissed if my gym had it, followed quickly by a cancellation of membership. All these gay ass rules are breeding a pu55y culture, I hate it.

I have been lifting at my gym for about 4 years now. I used to be really shy about it when people would jack my machine( once some jack### stole m squat rack while I was getting a drink!!). Now if somebody comes and steals my s### I just steal it right back dont say a word. I keep my breaks between sets shot to like 45 seconds to a min and the other day some guy came and jacked my bench and this is one of "THOSE" guys ( He pissses me and about 50 other people off daily)so when walked back from the drinking fountin he is takin my weight off. It wqs the final straw I went insane B****ed his ass out and then he appologised a million times and I haven't had a prooblem with hiim again.

lol ya i understand that but if a guy weighing 210lbs needs a spot with 70 pounds he might as well set himself on fire.

OMG! You guys are reminding me why I left my last gym!

I absolutely loooove my new gym. I've been there is since February. Gary, the owner is a PT and lifts. I mean really lifts. We have freakin' everything you can imagine in our gym.

I train in the morning after the soccer-moms have been in for their aerobics or spin classes...so there is always crap music on when I arrive. As soon as Gary spots me he shoots into the office and changes it to classic rock.

He chats with me between sets and no one, I mean no one ever messes with me while I'm training now.

No freakin' herds of teens or frat boys and cardio bunnies when school/classes are out. That alone keeps me happy!

We have one pretty-boy that was driving Eric (my Sifu) and I nuts because he was leaving plates loaded on everything and a lot of the women in the gym cannot move a 45 that is left on the machines or bars. We sorta 'ganged up' on him a bit with our disapproval and he cleaned his act up a bit.

He was rather rude to me until recently when he wanted to work a set in with me. He suddenly discovered his manners. But who the heck wants to mess with the lady that grabs db's that are only 5#'s less than you are using?

No way, do some ear lobe kick-backs instead, they work the outter lobe alot better
