New annoyances

25-35yr old males with beards and short hair spend 20 minutes stretching and then take off shoes to perform "special" stretches. After which they then put on lifting shoes so they can perform 225 lbs squats. 225 lbs squats!!! R U kidding me? All that stretching and special shoes for that? What a joke. Don't even get me on these guys who then deadlift 225lbs wearing only socks. Dumb@asses. Unless you're Arnold Schwarzenegger, you wear shoes in a public gym dammit!!

When I was 25 @ 185lbs I was squatting 325lbs for 3x12 with good form and there were plenty of guys who were stronger.

My gym does have some guys which get after it. They're not bodybuilders but they move some iron. .

Rant over.

You do realize olympic shoes also help those who have weak ankle mobility right? If the guy or girl is using oly shoes and hitting perfect depth- respect to them because they're training with form >ego. So try not to be so judgmental on such vanity.

So to keep on topic, people like you annoy me.

That sux! my son did that to me one time so in return I knew his limit and when he couldn't get it up it dropped on his chest and I sat there for a few seconds looking at him like "you got it?"

What you have to do is fight the guy spotting you. Pull down while they pull up and give them a death stare then push it out on your own.

One of the things my training partner and I do ever so often is push down on the negative part of the rep. You can do it on most upperbody exercises.

We do it to emphasize the negative about once a month, but it's good for getting past sticking points. I think that one concept increased my bench more than anything.

Good for you. Too many people take the easy way out!

I am too if you consider a 44 year old having the test levels of a mid-20 year old natural!

But if you aren't getting it prescribed from a Doctor, you don't know what you may be getting. Too risky IMO.

I still have hair everywhere I need it, but I attribute that to my genetic background. And my wife hasn't complained about the size of my balls yet.

same here! I always wonder why guys go on gear if they don't even compete? I mean what's the point? you only stay big when you're on gear...after you get off you shrink up

I see them all over the gym. And most of them while "On" don't look any better than the guys you see in there putting in work everyday. Always bloated looking, carrying way too much water, and just look unhealthy in general. Then the next time you see them they have shrunk down to nothing.

Can you imagine the stress on your heart/body when gaining losing that amount of weight?

Plus I have been around people that are National Competitors for a long time. These guys built a solid base before ever touching gear. They looked better than 95% of the general population while natural. It goes to show you what genetics can do. With those genetics, their body responds better to even small amounts of stuff.

Plus I will say it again.....being lean separates you from most people. I have been accused many times of taking stuff. Yeah...I have good genetics, but pictures can be misleading. I can look like a bodybuilder in my pictures. But until you put me beside someone for "scale"...you can't really see how big or small I am. Only then do you see that being 5'7" and 190 lbs lean isn't really as big as you may think it is when it's just me in the picture as compared to standing besides someone like my training partner who is an inch taller..and 35lbs heavier!

stop lyin fool! you're definitely on GEAR! just kidding. I hear ya! there a few guys that I know that are on gear and right after competition they would disappear from the gym for like 6 months. come back in and they are small as shit! i'm like WTF! than there's the guys who take it just to take it. huge jacked guys but their back looks like an explosion from all the acne. they look 20x older than what they really are and the hair loss . 5'7 190lb bro that's solid. i'm 5'6 165lb. i'm a hard gainer. I can eat and eat and eat and not gain the weight. but I have been taking CLA's after every meal and thank god my gut is trimming down. it's true tho about being lean...you look bigger because of the muscle definition people can see

People used to never take weights off of my bench when I was around 225. Now people take weights off my bench all the time. I have to spend a couple minutes reorganizing the bench so that it looks all pretty with the weights in the right area and then people come and help themselves.

The worst is when they don't ask to take a 45. I am like just because I have 10s on each side doesn't mean I won't get to the 45s at some time.


Then reality sets in - you feel buff at some angles at the gym. But then I was doing some stretching with lat pull downs and saw my spaghetti arms and it dawned on me... people see these noodle arms and take all my weights because I ain't got no respect!

Another big booty Queen I couldn't shove my face in between her butt cheeks since the jail time attached to such action wouldn't be worth the second of bliss.

Speaking of lol

Last night there was a mega fit gym hoe working out with her short tubby boyfriend/husband/whatever (how he pulled her off I'll never know). She was dressed like she was ready for a porno (white see through leggings with a pink thong, cleavage popping out of her neon green bra, hair done, makeup done), he looked like he just got back from Walmart at 3am. The whole time he's trying to show her upper body exercises and "proper" form, which was terrible. And to make it even better, he would do whatever he could to stand in front of her or right behind her to try and cover up her goods so other dudes wouldn't check her out lol. It was hilariously pathetic to watch them do their thing.

Normally I don't watch, stare or care about anyone in the gym, but if you bring the attention upon yourself, you kinda deserve it.

Went to gym earlier today. Saw an end spot at the corner of the building the gym is in. There are other parking spots along side the other wall that forms the corner of the building and between the two rows of spots is a no parking hashed marked areas.

Some fool decides to park their truck in this no parking area; even though there were other spots within 3 spaces down. It amazes me how lazy people are. If you want an end spot, there are others around which do require a little bit of walking. Why the hell are you going to the gym if you can't even walk a few extra feet?

the same thing drives me insane. I watch people park in the handicapped spots and go into the gym. Don't get me wrong, some of the members have the tags on their mirrors and are legitimate; they actually come in and do the best they can and give a good effort. All while the people who have parked in their spots, spend most of their gym time on their phone.

Yep. I posted about this very thing you saw here. A while back, I'm in the parking lot and some dude built as big as a house looking as if he's ready for a body building competition gets out of a car parked in a handicapped spot. Seriously? And there's no mistaking where he was headed....the gym.

I was annoyed this morning to come in and find gym chalk over everything in the squat/dead-lift racks.

I understand it's all part of the gear and has its place, but I have seen guys using chalk that can barely dead-lift 225.

If your grip is that weak or slippery at that weight, buy some gloves or lower the weight and start working on some grip strength exercises.

I have never used chalks or gloves. Now I do use straps, but that is only when I get into the 365+ range.
