Help Me Deal With The Workout "buddies"

Here's the problem. I have a great gym. Plenty of equipment. .no a/c. Which is fucking great. I hate getting a sweat on only to get chilled by a/c. Fuck that shit. Only problem is. . Only two squat racks.

I'm have a favorite time to train. Period. All of the sudden I get this group of four. Yes four guys, working out talking. Mostly talking.

They are crowding my space. For whatever reason they seem to always be on the flat benches or squat racks. I've no idea why, as these asshats do like one set every ten minutes. Theses tools are always in my way.. water bottles laying everywhere. Fuck. At first I tried to be polite and work myself in.

Now the trend has me bumping I to them and giving them a shoulder to let them know get the Fuck out of my way. Now I realize these turds huddle close together for comfort. Therefore I'm reluctant to go full fleshbat on them and tell them what's up. When I go to the gym I'm in my own little world and I don't like it being disturbed unless a bro is saying what's up. But even then, my ear buds are right back in and in the zone.

Any advice on how to handle these clowns? They get out if my way for the most part now after my previous messages. But damn, every time I see these rods I want to smash them. If I want a distraction at the gym, give me a sweaty Fine ass.
 
You just described my gym to the T.
And its getting worse by the day. I'll probably start going to my old gym again soon.
The one that gets at me the most is the set every 10 minutes. How do you get a workout like that?
They must stay in there all night, 3-4 hours I would guess.

They also use the reverse hyper as a table for all their shit and to stand around and talk.
It's funny to watch them piling in one at a time and making a b-line for the reverse hyper.
One day when I'm in a mood I'm going to walk up to it, put a couple plates on and then swipe every cell phone, water bottle, shaker cup and long loop key ring right off that mother fucker like I'm sweeping trash.

Omg! These choads use the reverse hyper as well to sit all their "accessories" on. Too funny

Thanks for the idea ;)
 
That's hilarious. I forgot my ipod last week and had to listen to them talk about their accessories during my entire squat routine.
Their knee raps wrist raps compression shorts, which brands they like, which ones they didn't.
Maybe if homeboy spent some of that money on food instead he could get above 140lbs and stop deadlifting my warm up weight.
I couldn't wait to get done in the squat rack and get over to the calf rais on the other side of the gym.
 
Adapt.

No squat racks open because these dicks are occupying all of them?

Fuck squat racks, just clean the bar into position off of the floor and front squat that shit.

Just joking of course, this is a pretty lousy situation. If they are leaving their things in the really high activity pieces of equipment and just lurching around for 10 minutes not doing anything then that is very poor gym etiquette.

If egregiously bad gym etiquette is preventing you from working out properly and you can't politely resolve the issue with these individuals and work in with them when needed, then I would let gym management know that your recent experiences at the gym have been mostly negative as a result of poor etiquette from other gym members.
 
You'd be surprised how often being honest with them works. Just tell them you prefer to work fast and need the rack they are occupying for far too long. Most likely they will be accommodating.
 
I like your clean and squat tip. Prolly good for my sore back too :)

I might have to talk to mgr. But I'm going to give them a few more clues. Like sit em down and teach them the most important thing when it comes to working out around me at my gym.

: "shut the fuck up and stay away from me... Can't you see this gold shit on my nostrils? It's tren. Go now, and kindly fuck off"

You're right. I think a few words would go a long way. They'd probably be embarrassed a bit and might actually learn something... might save some other bro's aggravation too.

I'll handle it today.
 
anytime i encounter 'asshats' (lol havent heard that one in a while) like this or just any fuckers in the gym that monopolize equipment i handle in one simple fashion.

  • ask how many sets they have once they finish their set
  • then proceed to ask to work in
  • if they say ok, then great
  • if they say no, then say well you arent using it right now so i think im gonna just use this while you rest, thanks a lot
  • headphones in and BOSS them. if they tap u and try not to let u then thats when u gotta get big on them. I had this one fucker attempt to not let me use the preacher curl machine when he was resting, like he rented it and wanted to watch it rest cuz his period pussy manpon azz needed 2 minutes between sets. i stopped after a couple reps and got loud with him, started clowning his gym gear ask if he wore his big boy pants today and if he likes causing problems with ppl that could physically man handle his tiny napolean complex mindset, theyre weak and hate being told that. look them rite in the eye when u do this and theyll never get in your way again.
 
Damn I can relate so much to this post. And while I've run into a bunch of burning douchebags at the university gym, more often than not they are just doing the common bro shit. However,there are times when dudes catch me off guard with the shit they do. For example, there's this dude at my gym who the other day straight up grabbed his chick by the arm and took her away, telling her that her behavior wasn't acceptable etc loud as fuck, because she was squatting on the rack in front of where I was benching.

And although I was checking that ass out between sets, I thought the dude was a huge turd for doing that public shaming bullshit that his people do. I mean it's one thing to set the law with your girl but shouting at a girl and grabbing her by the arm like a child in front the whole gym isn't ok in my book. I'll tell you though, the next time the fucker comes at me asking when my set is up I'm gonna tell the muzzie bastard to go fuck himself...
