To those that refuse to rack their weights..

I never take the weights off when I'm finished exercises ..
Fuck that shit, if it's gonna be a big deal to pull a couple 5s and 2 1/2s max off each side then maybe they shouldn't be in the Man's section of the gym o_O
 
Lol you are on a roll of bumping old threads @insaiyan93 . Just in case you didn't notice it to can also click on new posts to see current stuff being talked about.

Haha yeah...sorry about that man, I have had a few others mention that, I wasn't paying enough attention. I will definitely be more mindful of that in the future, rookie mistake.
 
This topic never gets old. I am merciless in the gym. I don't care how big you are. I'll talk shit to you like a red headed stepchild for not racking your weights.

And I always enjoy helping a damsel in distress pull the 20 fucking 45s off the leg press. Whilst loudly talking shit about the pussies that load that many plates then push the sled three inches. Preferably when the pussy who loaded them up is nearby. Yeah, I'm popular. :D

Love it, @lightspan . I'm the same way. I'll call you every kinds of lazy, no good M-Fucker loud enough for the whole place to hear if I get some attitude for calling you out on poor etiquette.

Popular? I'm thoroughly hated at my gym. And I like it that way. But at least the core of true iron-heads like myself have each other - and each others backs...
 
When I see someone who serially doesn't rack the weights after use, I play the role of the OCD lifter. I'll go to the bar in between their sets and rack the weights before they're done. Usually this gets them to ask me wtf I'm doing and why to which I answer if you don't rack your own weights after you're done I will do it for you at a time that's convenient for me....which is in between every motherfucking set you plan on doing today :)
 
That shit doesn't fly at my gym. If you move something then you put it back where you got it from. No exceptions. The owner will check the cameras to who left their weights out and give them one warning. If you fuck up again you just lost your membership. Don't leave trash, don't track in mud, and re rack your weights. Only rules, and you get one warning.
 
How about when someone is using 4 different machines at the gym and you go over to one he's not on and ask "you still on this?". He says "yeah man", so I say "so you're on this, and this and this and this? Tell you what, why don't I just wait for you to get done with your workout so I'm not in your way". *sarcastic gonna break you a new one very soon deathlook*
Usually, if they're smart they'll see they are in danger and give me the go ahead to use whatever I like. I don't go to public gyms anymore as I'm not fond of going back to prison ;) I'm very docile and nice until someone flips the crazy switch on me

That's how it should roll at every honest gym. Staff catches you leaving shit around you get warned and next time banned from the gym.

My gym is pretty decent and everyone generally does put stuff back with out being asked to by anyone including staff.

However if I do see someone walking away from a fully loaded leg press for example without even pulling off the plates and putting them on the peg-stands I'll certainly call him out on it with my deadliest death stare and my equally deadly icy voice.

This should be standard gym etiquette 101.

Damn, Doc...I think you must been at my gym hahaha. I've seen this one dude who did just what you mentioned. Priceless!

Thats what I'm screamin. I like to super set chest and back and bi's n tri's but if someone needs the machine or whatever that I'm on its only common courtesy to let them have it, or at least let them work in, otherwise you're just being selfish.
 
Yeah that shit pisses me off, I've been hitting evening workouts and it's pretty damn bad at my gym, weights left everywhere, on the floor, the bars, mismatched all on the weight racks...Dudes supposedly lifting, but really just sitting there on their phones taking pictures for like 30 minutes or talking in a big group and then all of the sudden they all just scatter leaving all the weight on the bar. I'd say it happens most on the squat rack and leg press.
 
There is a fucktard at my club that does seated curl drop sets and when he's done he just gets up and leaves. Like six sets of db's under the seat. I want to slap him in his teeth with a fucking school bus, but I'm working on my relationship with Jesus right now.
