knobs in the gym

[IrishTuner]

I'm sure there must be thread started out there on this subject but I cant find one and I have to share this.
This younger guy(18-19) walks into the gym and he catches my eye instantly, hat backwards, xxxl shirt with sleeves cut off and he might weigh 130lbs. Oh and he's struttin his shit and has a terrible case of ILS like I've never seen.
I guess its shoulder day because he's doing dumbbell shoulder presses, after he does his first set of about 20lbs he then slams them to the ground to get everyones attention. He then gets up and proceeds to the back of the chair where he decides it's time to do some heavy duty sparring against the back of the chair for about 5 seconds. HAHAHAHA I couldnt believe my eyes. :laugh He would strut to the fountain in between sets. Did this 3 times that I seen.

I'd love to hear some similar stories

[Ritch]

gotta love those fountain strutters... Always walking around looking to be seen. I don`t understand these losers. Next you see him wearing a muscle shirt ask him if he`d wear socks if he didn`t have feet. ( His answer obviously being no ) then ask him why he`s wearing a muscle shirt. Humility must be tought to these ****ers.

[Gilmour]

I coud write a book about the clowns at my gym. Looks as though some of them spend more time with their hair than they do in the gym.

[O-Train]

They exist everywhere. I came very close to getting into a...altercation with a very similar albeit larger individual. The things I would do if my actions didn't have consequences...

[gicantor]

We got this douchebag comes in about 3:30am when I'm there.

He's got the full underarmour gear, ILS, cutoff sleeve shirt, hat backwards, ipod in, gatorade, heart rate moniter thingy, 300 dollar shoes, can't talk to anyone stone cold stare mother****er. All this to do........bicep curls. He's got a liitle size to him maybe 220 but flab no definition at all.

Meanwhile I'm there in sweats and a white T-shirt.And water.

[Gemini]

Why are these also the same punks who are flexing in front of the mirror looking around to be seen? I think there's a kinda of disease that exists similar to anorexia but the opposite, where puny guys look at themselves in the mirror and think they're huge!

[IrishTuner]

hahah I guess they are in every gym!!
In January this guy was wearing a Red Tommy Hillfiger turtle neck with a gold chain on the outside and a beautiful gold watch to match....lol holy shit.
oh and he was on his cell phone for most of "workout"

I've heard guys on their cell phones bragging to their friends that they were at the gym doing some chest and arms.....oh man.....I could right a book as well

No doubt, I mean ok your working out and it's getting hot and you feel like wearing a tank top....great!!! but not to show off what you don't have...for **** sakes

Yeah, I know it's not only the skinny guys. I've seen a lot of chubby douche bags with muscle shirts literally flexing their biceps in front of the mirror and there's just nothing there but fat. It's funny though how I never see the guys who seem to be taking bodybuilding seriously admiring themselves in the mirror.

I gotta admit I don't check myself out in the mirror at the gym but I do it a hell lot when I get at home back from a good workout session. Damn, I even like to pretend I'm Scharzenegger when he won Mr. Olympia in '70 with all these crazy poses and shit.

But what`s with these guys, and I`ve seen this in every gym who stand inches from the mirror and just stare at themselves? Then they start picking at their teeth, scratching their chin while puckering their lips, looking at themselves from different angles and shit. Seriously, what the ****? How can you not feel stupid doing that?

[gicantor]

Hey irishtuner cool avvy........layne staley RIP

[O-Train]

It's the aggressive, loud and obnoxious people that bug me. I've seen guys working out in full finger gardening gloves and other guys in knit wool sweaters and dress shoes...Couldn't even begin to count the mirror flexing tank-top wearing 130lb'ers. But I have a genuine hatred for people who are disruptive and disrespectful to those around them. Although I also dislike people I can smell from 100 feet away and 5 minutes after they leave. Which is something I didn't think was possible till it happened.

Dude I know, I can't imagine how long they must be staring at themselves at home if they do it this much in public places.

[Ritch]

And the guys who hang around the dumbell rack, always in your ****ing way... Or how these douchebags that like to put one foot on the rack or on a bench and kneel on that knee while they hang out. **** man, I`m getting pissed just thinking about these turds.

[PdH]

And the 130 lbers that crowd you in the dumbell area. I had to tell one of them the other day to stop ****ing crowding me. Little bitches have no sense of gym etiquette at all.

[Dryvrgrl]

Guys over 6 foot tall who load the squat rack with more than 2 plates and LEAVE it up there on the top pegs and walk away from the rack!! GGRRRRRRR

(I can't quite reach the top pegs to unload the plates)


maybe I'm the skinny 130 pound guy you all keep seeing in a muscle shirt! LOL

[L3]

i laugh at those guys who wear a hoodie to get a pump going on arm day and then take it off to a tank top under

oh wait..that was me :o

[natenator]

Couldn't even begin to count the mirror flexing tank-top wearing 130lb'ers.

You just described L3 lol

[ubcpower]

Maybe all they want is to have the bigger guys just notice them... to have over a dozen guys go home, on their free time, and talk about them on the internet, probably a dream come true for them ;)

[IrishTuner]

Hey irishtuner cool avvy........layne staley RIP


Thanks bro! Greatest singer IMO, harmonized with Jerry Cantrell's voice
is untouchable.

[GYMBRAT]

lol yup one of my many pet peeves...

[daande]

There is this pretty big dude in my gym because he has been on juice straight for the past 4 years and hes not even that big for what he takes. He also drinks 3 days a week and does alot of coke. Anyways, hes a complete ****ing retard in the gym he makes noises like ronnie coleman and is extremely loud. He also only works his upper body. When he does bench he puts on 3 plates a side and only does 1/2 reps while screaming yeah buddy like ronnie. There is another old guy at my gym that puts 8 plates on a row machine and has extremely had form and only does 1/4 reps and then leaves all 8 plates on the machine. One time I was using it right after and I wanted to smash him in the head with one of the plates.

[manfreakca]

its the guys that have to be seen that bothers me!!either constantly in my way walkin around or makin stoopid noises!!

[IrishTuner]

I've seen more than a few guys turn sideways to get between some gym equipment that 2 wide guys could walk through together. HAHAHA good old ILS for the loss.

[GYMBRAT]

One time I was using it right after and I wanted to smash him in the head with one of the plates.

LOL, I think things like that almost everyday! :D

[kloan]

reading these stories makes me glad i get to workout at home. i can wear what i want, make as much noise as i want (when i cant help it) without feeling self conscious about it, dont have to deal with douchebags doin everything you guys have mentioned.....

[ab_chic25]

hehehe there was this one guy in the gym other day working out in jeans..... i mean wtf?? spend sometime and get a real workout outfit.......... there is also this one little skinny asian dude i have seen a couple times that makes more noise then the big guys working out lmao

[z83]

4 douchebags wearing sandals with white socks...even while "squatting" 1/4 reps

[Ritch]

any turtle neck sweater wearing fags in your gyms?

[bigtavi8]

Seen my fair share of goofs at my new gym. They call it hollywood its all the ginos and the gelled haired goofs. hahah.. But what i cant get over is how hilarious the term "ILS" is..ahahhah **** man i get a real kick out of that and im going to spread it around...funny shit..

[bigtavi8]

Truthfully i have never seen the turtleneck sweater wearing fags or guys with scarfs that must be a west coast thing. LOL

[IrishTuner]

I dont think its really a westcoast thing, I think it's a surrey(curry) thing.
It's all image at my last gym. Not only are they trying to out do each other with the loudest possible Ed hardy shirt, highest faux hawk haircut and meanest frown, they also compete for biggest rims on their vehicles. It's enough to make you puke. hummers, 300c's, mustangs with 40" rims and every chrome accessory you can fit on it.

[monkey]

Im sure we have quite a few guys fitting the previous descriptions on this board, lol

[tex]

im a total douche in the gym.......i drop weights and grunt, fart, burp.....I frequent the water fountain ( but its because im actually thirsty )......and i never wipe equipment off after i use it.....and i always piss in the shower.....and sometimes i piss all over the toilet seat.....the end.

Damm.. another reason not to shower in my gym... besides eveybody being gay, lol

[Dryvrgrl]

Chicks who cry... cry somewhere else!!

[BAM]

I frequent the water fountain ( but its because im actually thirsty)

Going to the water fountain is a sin? wtf?

I think some of you concentrate on the wrong things.. its people that don't put their weights away, don't wipe their benches, stand in front of the dumbell rack doing curls, and dorks that walk around in the changeroom making puddles everywhere that need to be euthanized.

Oh.. and people that use cellphones in the gym/changeroom.

[Big D]

I see alot of guys stretching in the squat rack, so i think sooner or later they're going to squat, but to my surprise they just end up leaving.

that pisses me off

[Big D]

Chicks who cry... cry somewhere else!!

lol I never saw that

[JacktheThriller]

smoking hottie track and field girls with there perfect asses in spandex so distracting, they are lucky I dont wear my rape shoes to work out.

Disturbing statement bro. lol

[PdH]

People who come and ask how many sets you have left and how long it will take. Then when you tell them you have a higher number and that you'll be a little while they find a place to sit right ****in beside you to try and pressure you to hurry up. :mad: **** off already. This happened last night, then she finally went home cause she didn't want to wait another 5 minutes.

If someone wants to work in without having to unload a bunch of plates, that's fine, but if you're using a couple of plates or less, go away.

worse is when the chick who looks like a smoking hottie track and field girl with a perfect ass in spandex takes off the spandex and you realise the whole thing was acting like a giant girdle... a 10 on the treadmill might just be a 7 in the shower.

WORST is when the smoking hottie track and field girl with a perfect ass in spandex, really IS a smoking hottie track and field girls with a perfect ass and you get to a nice spot in the change room where you are SURE to catch a naked glimpse and somewhere along the way things get messed up and you catch a glimpse of Naked Granny strutting out of the shower instead!!!... scarey

Mmmmhmmm...Doing it on purpose to catch naked glimpses of fellow girls...

It's not that they are going to drink water,
it's the strutting with arms out wide to the fountain
between each set.......thats the annoyance

[Big D]

LOL we should have a bet, to see how long its gonna take him to catch on
