What is the most annoying thing about your gym?
The most annoying thing at my gym are the people that occupy different areas for things other than what they are intended for. Take last night for instance. I wanted to use the *1* freakin rack that we have for barbell shrugs. Mind you the gym was not busy and it would have taken me all of ten minutes to complete my shrugs, but I couldn't get on it because of this yahoo that had the bar a foot or two from the ground on the rack, held in place by 2 45 pound plates and was laying under the bar doing leg lifts. No big deal for the most part since, like I said, the gym wasn't busy. But he was on it for 45 minutes. I asked him how many sets he had left and he said "today is my ab day, I'll be here for a while..." Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Only that it gets a little crowded. But, everyone is respectfull so it is always pretty laid back. There is the occational guy that gets loud then sprays spit and sweat before dropping his weight and shaking the floor. But, what ever motivates I guess.. One day I hope to look a little like one of them so its all good.

I don't have any gripes since I left my Metro/Soccermom gym. What used to bug me was when the trainer/owner would kick you out of the bench or piece of equipment you were using so their trainee could get on it. Oh, and having people get upset if you so much as breathed hard when lifting.
So glad I left...

People that walk around and think they are hot pieces of ****. lol They walk around, look in the mirror, flex and then look around again to see who's looking at them LOL Sometimes its hard not to look.
 Well, @ my gym there is not enough free weight area. lol I was just doing machines awhile back cause I didnt want to wait so long. Now I try to go @ a different time or I just wait.

The dumb girls that come in there half dressed, don't work out and just basically walk around and lurk waiting for a guy to stop working out and talk to them (and I've seen the dumber guys fall for it too)....there are like 3 girls that go to my gym that always do this...the only form of exercise that I've ever seen them do was stretch...but that's also because I think they believe it's enticing for the boys while they bend over.

 Mine right now is people who try to give advice but look like beanpoles, or looking offended when I tell them I have 5-6 sets left (C'mon, I'm SQUATTING) and still looking offended when I say they can work in. Cause admit it, you were going to curl in the squat rack. Asshole. One guy on tuesday saw me deadlifting 365 (Still getting stronger) and after I cleaned weight up, racked up 365 and proceeded to do the worse deadlifts I have ever seen. I had my buddies who were still learning to lift with me and showed them that deadlifting is NOT done that way.

I also hate it when guys come up to me and say sh!t....like they think they're boosting my ego when they come up and say stuff like, "wow, you have really great form" or "your workout is pretty intense, I'm getting a workout just watching you" or "if you need a spot or anything, just let me know"...
They say all this pervish stuff, but think that if they keep it to workout related comments, I won't mind. Step Off! (haha...I just watched a Seinfeld episode where they used that line, 'Step Off' and it cracks me up)

HAHA, this guy was actually at my last gym but it's worth telling. This one guy would always wear an orange Clemson jersey shirt and shorts. He had a gut and looked like he never did anything athletic, let alone lift weights. He'd walk into the gym like he was there to get things done and stack 345 or so on the bench. Curious as to how this out of shape joker would have such awesome strength I had to watch, for I should be able to do more than him. Well, He'd unrack the weight, bring the bar down just far enough to bend his elbows and then rep out. He'd then let everyone know how much weight he just pressed by slinging the weight back against the rack and dropping it into the groove. A little added flare to show everyone just how much of a veteran he was. The only other lift I saw him do were heavy knee bends on the leg press machine with the usual ending flare of slamming the weight back into the rack. He was my hero.

#1 - I'm in the middle of a set for pete's sake, leave me alone. #2 - I have headphones in! Do you seriously think I can hear you?????? And most times the people that talk to me are usually the creepy old guys who wanna make a comment about the fact that I'm lifting weights or someone who wants to talk about something I could care less about! Leave me alone, that's MY time!!!!!!
