Gym Etiquette

There might be a thread about this on here, but anyways, this is what I hate when I go to the gym. In no particular order. Feel free to add.

1. Taking three or more pairs of dumb bells for your sets. Take a pair at a time, no one has time for that shit.
2. Don't stand directly in front of the dumb bell rack, Ill drop a weight on your foot.
3. Wipe your sweat off where you were sitting.
4. Feel free to lift heavy, but throwing your weights means you have no control.
5. Don't scream with each rep, you sound like a retard.
6. When you bring your gym bag on the floor its obvious you have a strong attachment to your gear and are affraid its going to get jacked from the locker.
7. Curling in the squat rack. Wtf
8. Taking the bench press bar to do dead lifts. There's another place for that.
9. Guys who shadow box in front of the mirror. You look like an idiot.
10. I hate seeing guys wear vibrams, spandex pants and an altitude trainer all at one time.
11. Re-rack your weights where they belong. Don't leave them on the other side of the damn gym.
11. People who want to "work in" with me. Just wait dude.
12. Take selfies in front of the mirror or anywhere else. You look gay.
13. This doesn't really bug me but if you're a girl and your cycling var its sooo obvious.
14. Pick up your empty vpx and water bottles when your done.
15. Trainers that try and kick you off the machine you're on. Im going to tell you know and make you look dumb in front of your client.
 
I got a new one. Today at the gym some twink was on the hack squat machine and getting spotted on both sides by his friends. First and hopefully last time I see that. What's next, spotting while dead lifting?

I see alot of weird shit at my gym. I live right by the border in San Diego and the area I live is loaded with Navy dudes so I get a crazy mix of what I see.
 
9 Reasons I made my garage into my gym

1. Taking three or more pairs of dumb bells for your sets. Take a pair at a time, no one has time for that shit.
Yes, I do own the whole damn gym

2. Wipe your sweat off where you were sitting.
Why bother

3. Don't scream with each rep, you sound like a retard.
Sometimes I do just because I can

4. Curling in the squat rack. Wtf
Do this all the time, just feels naughty and usually includes #3

5. Guys who shadow box in front of the mirror. You look like an idiot.
Yeah, I don't even do this

6. I hate seeing guys wear vibrams, spandex pants and an altitude trainer all at one time.
Clothing was optional but after a near miss to Mr. Johnson, Shorts required.

7. Re-rack your weights where they belong. Don't leave them on the other side of the damn gym.
One of the best parts, Last set drop the weights and hit the shower, they ain't going anywhere

8. People who want to "work in" with me. Just wait dude.
Don't happen

9. Pick up your empty vpx and water bottles when your done.
Like the weights they will be there waiting for me tomorrow.

:):):):):)

 
Yea I agree, I can't work out at home at all. I like seeing "motivation" aka fat asses while Im going agro.

How do you guys address these issues at the gym? I never say anything to anyone but damn I want to sometimes. Mainly about re-racking the weights and wiping the sweat off the seats.
 
Racking the weights i let go. If some toolbox is curling in the squat rack i will go up and make a comment. I have little patience for cell phone talkers and cross fitters.

Same reasons my garage is a gym. It's wall to wall gym flooring. Got everything I need in there. Going to install the mirrors here shortly. Then It will be complete.
 
Also #3: I'm a sweaty mess at the gym. There was some nice talent asking if I was close to being finished as I was rapping up the sled. I went to wipe it down and they stopped me. They said they like it sweaty! True story.
 
^^^ Yea, I hope that's not the end to that story. Means she was an absolute freak with an open invitation.
 
All of the above is why I created my home gym, plus it drove nuts when retards carry on dumbass conversations, so loud that they could heard over my ear buds. And they never shut up. Like I care to hear their marvelous endeavors!
 
No. Wasn't cause I bitched out. The one has a guy and the other was her chubby friend. Principles and standards. I've never actually pulled from the gym.
 
I don't have none of these problem's. I joined a private gym there usually isn't that many people in there.
 
My wife wanted to run var before she got pregnant. She has an extremely low sex drive so I guess I know what I should get her after the baby is here :)
