Gym Etiquette

The guy at my gym.. who decides to squat for an hour. He warms up (after racking weights and takin the bar) then does the bar for 20 reps (then warms up stretching under it) 5 minute stretches I counted today) then finally does 135 for 5 - (5 minute stretch) *sips on "intra workout" - does 175x5 (same routine) does 225 for 3...same routine.. puts 275 on and does a solid look around and stretch and more looking around and then nails 2 while coming up nodding his head to his tunes.. then he does 225 again... same routine.. then 175.... back down to the bar and then he decides to fucking deadlift. I eventually just started laughing at him. Oh if only he knew I wanted to break a plate on his head .

There's a guy that does the exact same shit at my gym. If I see him I know I have to have a back up plan. There's no way I'm working in with a fuck like this.
 
Same at my gym. Sometimes they forget their towel and use either paper towels or the hair dryer to dry off. Other times they have full on convos with each other while standing in full glory. I think it's just that generation. Those guys grew up where after gym class they had to shower together.

I am sure that you are correct about the generation thing. I hope like hell that they are not so used to it that they both squeeze in a single person shower together.

As far as not bringing a towel goes, there is no excuse for that at my gym. There are stacks of clean fresh towels of two different sizes all over the place.
 
@Ozzy619 , we actually have a wanna be boxer at my gym now. Always going at it with his shadow.

Best part...he has a lame eye. Poor guy. He really thinks he is a bad ass. Funny shit.
 
I have a problem with guys that walk from the shower to the lockers completely naked with a towel in their hand. Sometimes they walk over to the sinks and then the locker and just stand there doing nothing. It's always older guys (way older than me and I'm 40). Why the hell do they have to be completely naked to weigh theirselves? Maybe I'm a prude, but I won't even strip all the way down while I'm at the locker. Usually I'll wait until I get home to shower, but if I'm doing something else right afterwards, I'll shower there and at least put my underwear on after I've dried off in the shower.

Dude that does that at my gym, he stands in front of the mirror butt ass naked in a power stance and shaves (his face) like what in the actual fuck?
 
There is a dude that I work with who is absolutely flaming gay and proud of it. One time I went to the gym and he was in the locker room fixing his hair or whatever. I said what's up and went about my business. Anyway like 45 minutes later I went back to grab my chalk and the fucking dude is still hanging out in there. I can't think of any reason to be in a locker room for 45 minutes unless you're in there to check out dudes.

I don't give a fuck if you're gay but don't creepily hang out in the locker room forever hoping to get a glimpse of a nice cock.

There's this dude at my gym he takes so fricken long to do his sets on squats leaves his bag open and everywhere sits down between sets for far too long, then after he'll go to deadlifts and make weird noises with every rep on the working sets. no concept of sharing an area, walks in alone and stays for like 3 hours who's got time for that! Also he carries his own bar in and has two workout bags and a belt over his shoulder.... op this is embarrassing it's me:oops:

As long as this this type of behavior matches your training program it's all good. And I encourage everyone to bring their own bar. I fucking hate when there aren't enough bars and they get taken from a bench.

This guy is at every major gym in SoCal. Used to have a similar guy that wore Ray Bans the entire time he shadow boxed.

Right now at my gym there is this dude that uses every single box as a stairway to do pull ups. He literally makes a progression of stacks with the boxes. I'll take a pic of this guy next time. This guy also works out with his shades on.
