That's a good one. I've learned to politely call people out since my initial post and never had a problem since. It's all about speaking and teaching the dumb fucks in a nice way proper etiquette.

My latest dilemma was going to a gym and seeing a "power lifter" deadlifting in the power rack on my squat day. I'm all about proper form in the rack, but when you have bands assisting you and you sit down to talk about westside barbell and 5 five finger death punch for an hour, I want to death kick you. You the Smith machine if you want bands. And use resistance bands for resistance.
I always felt like there needed to be 2 classes taught in a health and physical education curriculum: 1. How to be a good wingman 2. Proper Gym etiquette. The douchebaggery in both is astounding sometimes.

A good wingman is either a ride or die best friend or any man you are more dominate than. They always look up to you and want to please, in a non gay way. Gym etiquette is common sense or learned from constantly fucking up.
Either way, it's our job to help both types of people. A proper blowjob is just as important as well oiled gym. Help a tard out!

I kinda bombed the equitie this mornin. I left my toung wrapped up in the treadmill. As I was doin my cardio this smokin chick came in and did the stair stepper in front of me. Wearing yoga pants and a sports bra tha was a size too small. I'm surprised I could walk or run with the distraction. Lol

Damn sumbitch stood me up lol. I went so far as to get him a notebook and write down a beginners routine and a simple diet plan to begin with. Oh well I guess I was looking forward into turning him into my little project but he's gone with the wind nowWell looks like I got a new workout partner lol. The one set on every machine guy approached me tonight asking if I could help him "to make for better workout" lol. I needed someone to help me stay motivated and on track so with his enthusiasm and our schedules who knows we might both benefit from this. I told him be there 2am Monday after work and to bring a pair of shorts and a T-shirtHis English sucks but I don't think it will hurt us getting our big on.
If the other little shit approaches me I might just open palm slap the shit out of him lol
Every time i see a girl wearing this ensemble at the gym I thank god that I don't have an attention whore for a girlfriend.

Well he showed up tonight. From what I could gather he was nervous and didn't want to embarrass himself. Having a beginner for a partner didn't hurt my overall workout too much. I got him started with a full body plan and helped him with his form and slowed him down so he could get more time with load on the muscles. He was trying to race through all the reps and once I slowed him down you could really see him start to feel it and he sure as hell gonna feel it tomorrow lol. Since I know he's gonna be hurting I gave him till Friday to meet me back at the gym and told him if he's still to sore on Friday to text me and we will reconvene on Monday night. I kept joking with him to just be patient we are working on next summers body not this summer since we are under construction lol.Damn sumbitch stood me up lol.

I actually use the squat rack for curling and bent over rows. But, if there was anyone wanting to squat I'd do something different. Not many people there when I go, maybe 3-5 in the whole place.

The other day these three tall (former) jocks (who obviously didnt make it to college baseball/wrestling) took several pairs of dumbells including 10lbs. I like using 10's to start my side laterals. But They were just standing there, flexing in the mirror like a bunch of dopes. So I grabbed the 10lbs anyway lol. "We're using those" I looked at all three of them and said "nahh". After I warmed up with the 10's (two sets) I saw them flailing dumbless all over the place, thumbs up, arms way too bent, traps up - it sucked. I hope they took some tips from how i was doing them, cuz they were horrific.
I also cannot stand every girl that gets on the leg abductor machine and performs the excercise with their ass all the way up in the hair. - It does nothing. 1. If youre standing on that machine, gravity is whats making the weight of your body spread the resistance - no contraction for the intended muscles. 2. I automatically know they saw some clam doing it on a youtube video.
ILS never ends, but is fun to make fun of.
Every single person that is all A2G squats. Even though it is most likely NOT their ACTIVE (not full) range of motion. It's ego squatting to me, good glute development but louzy quads from what I see in my gym. I dont have the best legs in the city, but in my gym - I definitely do.
Not only does IMaginary Lat Syndrome exist but some guys at my gym have Imaginary Leg Syndrome.
I'm going to go into deep water with this one. BUT I absolutley hate when someone tries to pass off as a sponsored athlete. Too many of those here shadow box, snap chat, IG etc. on the gym floor. It's annoying.
Last but not least. A beta male wearing something that says "alpha" on it.
Sorry for any spelling errors.

Now that school is out my gym has become the frosh football hangout. I hate teenage boys that go and fuck off and play on the equipment. It's gotten to the point where I tell them to move because I stopped giving a fuck.

Well my protege showed up tonight on time at 2am ready to get his big on. He was all proud and showed me his little pocket notebook where he's been keeping track of all of his meals and tallying up the carb and protein amounts for the day. He's really into it and I think we can do some damage together when he gets his size and routines built up. Me inspiring him has renewed inspiration within myself lol. The gym I use has a shortage of serious lifters sobi guess I was the one guy who looked like he had a purpose lol.
On another note the bench press king has been back again and this time he spent an hour doing decline bench press and a decline angle that was absolutely ridiculous and comical. This prompted me to bring it up to a buddy at work who is also Spanish and a lifter, but he's built a pretty solid natural frame, he told me that a large majority of mexican guys who lift only do bench press. Since he told me that I started to recount my memory of what I've seen since I've been in that gym and I must say he's right since I've only witnessed about 25% or so the amount of people I've seen doing anything other than just benching. Just ducking retarded if you ask me but if that's what you wanna do go for it.

They also curl. There are a bunch of Latin dudes at my gym and literally all they do is bench and curl. Every day- and it's very rare for them to have decent arms, or chests for that matter.
This one poor kid has been going for over two years and literally does the exact same weight exact same routine of bench and curl every day. Id like help him out but there's an older guy that he lifts with (who does the same routine) that I think is his dad or his uncle or something. It's a shame because he is consistent. Kid is there every time I go to that gym.

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.
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 .

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.
