Pet hates in gyms

[Walt Flanigan]

I have a ? for you. I am looking to set up my own gym in my garage when it is rebuilt consisting mostly a good power cage. Is 120mm reinforced concrete enough to support 400kg of weight(power cage+oly weights)?

Not sure mate, I'm not too knowledgable when it comes to reinforced concrete. But my rack is sitting on concrete flooring in my garage, so I guess if 120mm is standard then it should be fine. The rack weighs 220kg and is holding another 300kg of plates.

This is the power rack I have.

Geez I've heard people whinge about stuff at the gym but you have some absolute moronic pet hates. What's it to you if a guy wears a hat in the gym for example? I do because it keeps the sweat from running down my face. Seems like you're focusing on other people more than yourself.

My pet hates consist mainly things that affect me i.e. People spending ages on one machine, leaving weight on machines, curling in the squat rack etc. I couldn't giving a shit what people wear or who they train with.

In your opinion. They're MY pet hates. Deal with it. You think they're moronic - all good with me.

Another pet hate; Some hero whinging about another gym member's workout:

I really hate nerds at the gym who are clearly wasting their time training with no intensity taking up valuable real estate just so they can feel good about themself. If your gunna pay 80 buks a month for a gym membership, train properly or GTFO

Why don't you concentrate on your own training rather than worry about someone else's? If in your opinion, "they're wasting their time" why should you give a f*ck? It's their time that they're wasting. Not yours.

Probably shouldve just bought a power rack and went hard at home without having to wait for the bloke squatting 50kgs using a bitch pad.

Probably good advice in the scheme of things if using public gyms upset you.

This guy would hate me this week. I'm doing 531 and it's a de-load week. :lol:

 

[Snoochies]

I love my home gym. Just been working out in my undies sometimes because I can, I even wear a hat.

One day I'll have this. I have two boys so no doubt I can make an application to the manager and get the garage converted into a man-cave.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Undies? Nude squats are where its at bro

man, you give signals that you're a real man with lifting iron... then you make mention you're relegated to a designated room by your wife, demonstrating shrivelled testicle syndrome.

You take take the boy out of RU, but you can't take RU out of the boy....

You misunderstand me.

See the man-cave is where I'll go to get away from my wife. That's the point.

Right now I have to talk to her and nod enthusiastically when she's talking. It's a real grind, let me tell you.

I'm in awe that he even gets a designated room!

Yeah I'd like to but am unable to do deep squats as a part of the male apendage won't allow me to go down that far.

I'm replying to the original post "Pet Hates in Gyms". Can't be bothered reading through 450+ posts.

As I am coming to the end of my Heartstart cardiac gym program, I am investigating other gym resources.

Checked out the local PCYC today and lo and behold!! There is a whole f**king mirrored wall for all the narcissist gym wanks to mentally toss off to themselves.

Pet hates in gyms.....mirrors win hands down.

I know a lot of wanker like to flex in the mirror and all that but I do like having a mirror there for certain exercises just to gauge my form and if my rep is deep enough.

 

[shaggs]

I use the mirror for both. Form and depth etc. I also like to have a flex when I can and admire my work. Thousands of dollars worth of food and supplements and hours in the gym went into my rig

 

[_snafu_]

Yeah, sometimes I like to look at and admire the striations in my shoulders after a good shoulder workout.
