Idiots who set you off you while training

[CFH016]

I was in a cranky mood yesterday at the gym and literally everything set me off, even the 2 dweebs that were on HGTV that was playing on the gym TV.
There was a shorter guy at the gym who looked like a fuckin mini rich piana, and he was so big for his frame size he fuckin waddled. It was then I realized how shitty my mood was haha

No fucking phones in the gym people. If you can't leave your phone in the car or a locker for an hour then stay the fuck home or spend more time with your shrink to solve your screen addiction and/or narcissism challenges

Everything said above AND
Poor hygiene
Wear some fucking deodorant and wipe off your machine after your done.

Also in the winter when idiots wear their outdoor shoes on in the gym, tracking sand and dirt all over the place.

I have a sauna vest I wear under my shirt, No matter how much I wash it or try to mask the smell it smells terrible.
It definitely cuts the " how many sets do you have left " in half lol

What’s the reasoning behind this? What’s the difference if I rest for 60 seconds changing my song or sending a text message vs staring around at the ceiling and floor pretending I’m in a makaveli motivation video

People taking up machines where there are 3-4 people working out together, literally takes them 1 hour to finish on one machine, between the fucking around and talking , they don’t even workout correctly they just in there messing around taking up space. There also a guy in my gym he in his 50s he wears suspenders and weight belt walks around like he huge, carries around 2 water bottles, he sets 1 water bottle on one machine and sets other water bottle on another machine goes back and forth and god forbid you move his water bottle when he on other side of the gym… other day I ran into this issue, 4 high school kids , instead of using one side to all do same exercise one after another, they take up both sides , one side to do the exercise and one side to stand there ….. a lot of people aggravate me in the gym so many dumb people doing dumb things like setting up a tripod in everyone’s way or his boy standing 5 feet away videoing his friend, god forbid you walk in the middle

the guy that sits on the leg press texting, then does 1/4 reps and goes back to texting.
The power curlers are a close second

I have some serious fkn clowns at my gym. There's this one guy, looks fkn wierd as hell, cant imagine women feel safe around him. He always has a smug confident face but has the body of a twig, maybe 5'6.

So heres the kicker, he does 2 hours training chest with every chest machine, even if its the same movement, loads the weight at maximum (so ya know, like 200lb n shit) and proceeds to do (and im not exaggerating) 30-40 reps at barely any movement, im talkin like slight elbow bend, thats it, and exhales loud AF.

He has no notable chest muscle and people like this are the scariest NPC's. You'd think even by accidental observation he'd figure out his BS doesn't work. Profound 0% self awareness.

Hey, at least I’m at the gym given’r every day; you’re gonna oust me on the forum, bro?!

What is your biggest pet peeve while training in a public gym?

People who think that the equipment is a park bench. Just sitting there......dicking around on their phone.

I have too much of a problem with this sort of person and I've been really working hard at dealing with it lately. Of all the times I've been in an argument in the gym it's usually started with lifting next to this sort of person, because I just HAVE to open my big mouth. Usually only happens at busy big-box normie gyms. (you know what maybe I should just stay at my regular gym and this wont be a problem)

I don't know what it is, but when this type of person stands right next to me and looks me up and down, then starts "out-doing" me at the same lift with shitty form and baby reps with a cocky look on their face like "look at me I am out-lifting the roid tranny". It gets under my skin. It builds up over time. Then, I start shit talking.

Fuck you, yes I am hammer curling 30lb dumbbells it's deload week. Get out of my line of sight asshat you're breaking my concentration. Go back over there to the cable machine where you were hitting on the cottage cheese queen to failure 15 mins ago.
