Pet hates in gyms

[Iafeta]

I recently did the shortcut to shred program. It requires you to do cardio acceleration in between each set. To do it I made sure I was going in out of peak sessions, so to avoid the situation you've described above. Just as annoying are those peeps that get on a machine, and just sit there, for minutes on their iPhone. Sure you need to regain your breath and get the blood flow going right before you start pressing again, and I don't mind if thats a minute or two, but just sitting there completely calm on your phone for like 5-10 minutes before doing anything is a bit of a stude fish move.

started again in an actual gym for the first time in awhile. Some idiot burst his protein powder pack open and only put in a half assed effort to clean it. Hard trying to clean and press whilst sniffing in a really horrible tasting strawberry mist floating in the air

This wasnt something that annoyed me but it was weird and i want to share.

This guy was doing esentially farmer walks on a treadmill wearing a huge backpack and carrying in one hand (but alternating) a 30 kg dummbell.

You should point out to him that protein powder is more efficiently absorbed by snorting it.

01/03/16, 21:55, Suburban gym, Rouse Hill: Some guy has been on chest press for 15 f*cking minutes now, going on his smart phone for 5 mins between sets.

All I can say is: Thank Christ It's an area of muscle I'm not training tonight. I pitty the poor prick who needs to use it though.

Nothing. The other morning I went before work to do Chest & Tri, the same 2 bros were on the only bench press in the gym for an hour and 5 minutes.

Could be a firey or something? I know it's common to see odd shit at the gym but there seems like there's method behind the madness there. Doing it on the treadmill means you don't have to find real estate to work out on either.

This is why I don't miss the gym. f**k every other merkin, as long as I get my workout in.

Sorry, missed this completely.

You're not my type Buddy, I can't stand spandex.

F*ck.... That just about takes the taco for mine.

And they're the same sort of merkins that will tell you to "F*ck off!" when you ask if you can work in with them.

What does it mean when some meat head leaves his gym bag next to any given weights machine?

A. "Don't f*cking touch it!" - Roids drop off.

B. "Don't f*cking touch it!" - Roids pick up.

C. "Don't f*cking touch it!" - Bomb threat.

D. "Don't f*cking touch it!" - I've reserved this equipment, so f*ck off and use something else while I yak to a mate about Roids!"

Help me out here?

People hogging equipment unnecessarily when the gym is packed. Came across an almost comical example of this a couple weeks back.

There's 6 benches in my gym, 3 with adjustable backs. Pretty well all the equipment was in use, and this bloke had two of the height adjustable benches to himself to use for weighted tricep dips.

I was like, you've got to be f**king kidding me... You can work your triceps a million ways, and 99% of those don't require you to hog 2 pieces of equipment in a busy gym.

Got him to share and he was alright about it at least, but it was still kinda comical to see, if irritating.

How ? Im impressed by some unorthodox use of equipment tbh.

Pec fly: "I'm reserved for some chic whilst she's doing mini bicep curls with a feather weight dumbbell. Come back when she's learned proper gym etiquette"

F*cking tall, young prick with enough flexibility to get the heel of his foot on cross bar of handles

Fans.

We have these big arse fans in the gym that are noisy as f*ck and can blow a strong gale. They don't get used to often but every now and then there's one person who has to turn the weights floor into a cyclone. FFS you're there to work up a sweat.
