WHO HATES THE EXERCISE BALLS

[LIVEHARD]

Annoying things

1/ People who leave there crap every ware at the gym
2/ blackberry's / cell phones while training
3/ people who just sit on machines or equipment and don't use it or use it to watch TV !!

If you have a TV at home go home !!! WTF


Most of all the dreaded ball's i just want to bring a dart whit me when i train !!

I was working out to day and this F'K was doing some weird movement on the 1/2 ball and fell into me F'Ker

Then the idiot was doing some other shit while was doing some flat dumbbell presses and a F'Kin ball bounces across my chest mid movement

My gym is full of F'K i don't know what to call them (THE INVENTORS OF NEW MOVEMENTS AND EXERCISES)

Any one else have to deal with this nonsense ??????? at there gym !!!

MAYBE THE BALL PEOPLE SHOULD TRAIN AT ( COSCO )



:wtf

[#8]

LOL, i know of who you speak. The people that do overly complicated and unnecessary exercises for their ability and training level. They want people to look at them like they know something you dont, but usually they are soft and pudgy.

You do know something I dont. The operating hours of every fast food restaurant in the GTA. Leave the exercise balls to those that know how to use them, and use them properly without bothering anyone else.

(They are necessary for functional training sometimes)

I feel you bro. I train at premier. WORST ****ing gym ever. Ever.

[Timbo89]

i always get some faggot talking to me in the middle of the set asking me these rediculous questions about how to build big muscles. makes me want to grab him by the throat and snap his neck and then piss over his dead body. *takes a deep breath*

[LIVEHARD]

MY GYM HAS ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WORK OUT WITH HEAVY WEIGHTS

THE BALL PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN OVER / THE ONES WHO DO WALKING LUNGES AROUND THE ENTIRE GYM WITH 2LB DUMBBELLS

THE ONES WHO PRACTICE CIRCUS TRAIPSE TRAINING ON THE CHIN UP STATION

THE ONES WHO GET TWO BALLS A BAR A BENCH AND FALL THE F'K OVER

THE ONES WHO HIT THE BAR WALKING BY ON THE PHONE !! WHEN YOUR DEAD LIFTING OR SQUATTING AND HIT THE BAR

THE ONES WHO RUN TO THE FRONT DESK WHEN WE DROP THE 100LB DUMBBELL'S IN STEAD OF HURTING YOUR SHOULDERS

THE ONE WHO COMPLAIN WHEN WE SWEAT AND GRUNT

YOU KNOW THE ONES

RANT

Bro you deffinatly need to find yourself a new gym. At the golds I goto the only people who touch the balls are hot chicks and I dont think anyone minds seeing a hottie bouncing around; at least I dont.

I had one guy bump me while I was doing deads and I dropped the weight and just started screaming at the guy, he hasent made eye contact with me since lol.

My biggest issue at the gym is idiots who walk infront of you while you are lifting and watching the mirror, like wtf is it so hard to have some courtesy and walk behind people. But I guess for some people the gym isint a 'serious' place and they just treat it like gym class at school or some shit.

i hear yah man, happened to me like three times today when i was doing standing dumbell curls.

[sdonnell]

Yea, but you gotta realise that gym's are full of new people all the time with there new years resolution etc etc.....They only come in a few times, do some arm curls and a bench or 2. They don't know gym etiquette, rules, or just plain common decency (Horking in the waterfountain). They will forever enter the gym and annoy you...it is inevitable

In my gym they even have a top 10 things you do wrong on the poster board above the water fountain. cant remember them all but a few were like "On the stair master dont hang on for dear life" and "when doing tricep pushdown dont let your arms go back up past 90 degrees."

The common sense you may have is oblivious to others and always will be.

[Timbo89]

dont make excuses for them, let us rant.

[LIVEHARD]

I HATE THE BALL PEOPLE

AT LET THE KITTEN KNOW HOW TO USE AND TREAT THE BALL'S

ITS THE F'KIN TRAINEES FOR CIRCUS CAMP YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE

I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW I STARTED A TEST/DBOL CYCLE TWO DAYS AGO

DO THEY HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THERE IN FOR

HAHAHAHAHAHA :rulz

AND WE ARE ALWAY THE BAD ONE IT WAS THAT F'KER ON THE ROIDS THAT DID IT LA LA LA !!!!!!!

WELL I'M OFF TO THE LAND OF THE BALL PEOPLE WISH ME LUCK

AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY !!!!

[LIVEHARD]

MR SDON FROM VIC ??? are you a spy for the ball people ??
your on this team now f'k the b'al'ers aaaah !!!
VIC B/C is beautiful see you after XMAS

[natenator]

STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS! fucck!

[Ritch]

For sure those ****ers who walk in front of you while your training need to be slapped. Same thing with those assholes who grab a pair of dumbells and stand right there, inches from the rack, meanwhile you can`t access dumbells because he`s blocking them. You can move in on him and the person will move, but then they think you`re the asshole. People who whistle and hum their stupid happy songs either in the gym or changing room, absolutley annoying. Do you guys have these guys who stand inches in front of the mirrors and "check out their teeth, scratch their chins, rotate their chin to to left to check that side, then the other. WHAT THE ****!!! I usually make a conscious effort not to look at people when I train.

Oh yeah, and those granola "look at me I`m so smart and innovative doing this advanced exercise swiss ball losers" bug me. Like people standing with one foot on a balance board, doing one arm dumbell curls. What`s the point? When I was at pro gym some people feel the need to wear sun glasses when training, something`s wrong with people... Oh yeah and those people who practice their dance moves in between sets, you can all go **** yourselves.

[manfreakca]

great for woman to practise there **** swirle on lol

[macka]

You guys forgot to list asshats who do 20 lb barbell curls in the squat rack. I wanna walk up like I am going to spot them, and ram the bar into their mouth like a dog bone. Then politely remind them its a squat rack, not a curling station.

[waderow]

there is this ****ing mother ****er who is always int he way with his bouncy ball and set up in front of the dumbells all the time to do bouncy ball sit ups with his feet under the rack. I smoked him in the head with a 110 once carrying a couple back to my bench LOL/.


Anyways.... he also fancies himself a MMA fighter and does bouncy ball neck strengthening at the dumbell racks too, and this one time was like 6" away..... I was very close to snapping. Very close.

lmao

[BritishColumbian]

Waderow's drawings are the best!
I feel so lucky to have a Gym where they keep the swiss ball people in a seperate room. The Owner of my gym must know whats up, I have seen him walk through from time to time and stop people who are about to get a bar in the mouth. I get a kick out of the new people that show up and just go crazy for a week and then you never see them in there again, they keep me entertained to a certain extent, but usually I am very focused and nothing bothers me, I dont even wear my Ipod unless I am riding my bike to the gym then I take it off to work out, i find it distracting. **** the ball people anyway.


Oh and BTW wtf is that guy doing with the ball? squish squish squish with his face, I laughed so hard~exellent

[LIVEHARD]

Sorry about the cap lock Nan tech difficulty it's fixed now

I did learn a new exercises today !! That same idiot heavy dumbbell fly's on a ball WOW impressive till he went off on side of the ball hahaha lol

I think i will try that one asap NOT

[waderow]

Oh and BTW wtf is that guy doing with the ball? squish squish squish with his face, I laughed so hard~exellent

No shit... the ****ing guy puts the bouncy ball against the wall, pushed his face into it, and does neck strengthening exercises by pushing his face against the filthy ball and makes squish noises... squish, squish, squish

[sdonnell]

haha I am no spy. I have just given up caring about them, they just make me laugh.

My favorite is the really skinny "prep" guy, who comes in wearing his jeans and ed hardy shirt....pushes weight ridiculously too heavy for him and his 3 other friends all try to push the weight too and they all just look like idiots crowded around the bench, do one set of bench, one sit of dips or curls, then mosey on out of the gym.
Now that must have a been a tough work out.

[BritishColumbian]

No shit... the ****ing guy puts the bouncy ball against the wall, pushed his face into it, and does neck strengthening exercises by pushing his face against the filthy ball and makes squish noises... squish, squish, squish

hahahahahahaha , Now I'm really laughing hard, my sides hurt....stop ...lol
:yeah

[LIVEHARD]

I snapped a this one guy today.

The prick leaves one dumbbell half a set all over the gym. So I told him to pick the F'kin things up and put them back.

Then the idiot asked how me how to train for size bulk up !

I answered let the air out of your stupid ball put some weight on a bar and lift it till it hurts and do it again and again


The best part is these guys train chest for almost 2 hours

Maybe they just like playing with ball's

personally i have a nut allergy

lol

[LIVEHARD]

They actually make me laugh as much as they piss me off.

I remember when i first started

chest went something like this

bench 4 set / incline 4 sets / incline dbell 4 sets / flys / Peck DEC / crossovers / dips

I must have done 40 sets before the day was done all i got was in flamed tendons

Any one remember that nonsense Thank god some one showed me the way

:popc

[LIVEHARD]

The one great use is day care the dreaded ball's are great for that !

My gym has day care during the week

I remember how hard it was to train when my son was young.

Now he comes to the gym jumps on the bike in the corner bothers no one and watches cartoons for a hour.

The day care lady used to get all the children it the aerobics room and let all the ball's go she would put the mats down and let the kids play

Now that's the only positive thing i have ever seen come out of those F"Kn ball's

peace

[natenator]

I will say this, if any of you were in a gym where Scott Abel was doing his MET training I bet everyone of you would consider converting.

[Ritch]

Well I never have confrontations with people in the gym but today was different. It`s kinda muggy in Montreal because it `s raining, and I`m training legs today. Both leg curl machines were taken. This one guy who`s not using a towel, does a set and leaves, he`d been gone for about 3 minutes before I took the leg curl machine. He comes back and sees I`m there, but no big deal, because the other one free`d up. But he does the same thing again, leaves for at least 5 minutes then when he comes back there`s people on it. Naturally.

So he asks me if he can work in. I say sure, but next time I`d appreciated it if you had a towel. He tells me he dosen`t sweat and it`s not necessary. Obviously with the pussy type training he does. I tell him, it`s a question of etiquette and respect, and next time to use a towel. (They have them for free at the front desk.) So we have some back and forth conversation and I ask him how long he`s been training in the gym. He tells me 20 years. So I say, you must know that if you want people to acknoledge that a certain piece of equipment is being used, to put a towel on it, or leave a water bottle by it. It`s pretty much a given. We were talking about that, because he was bitching to me that it`s the second time he`s been bumped off his machine.

If it happened twice he should realize he`s at fault. So he asks me if he can use the bench, again, and I said yes but next time bring a towel, he said there won`t be a next time because he won`t have a towel. What a ****ing idiot. I hope he asks me again next time and dosen`t have a towel. I will give him the blow my sign and tell him to go **** himself.

The end

[LIVEHARD]

I'm sure we all know the BALL works when used properly MET training
We have a lady who gets great results with it.

The dreaded ball has attracted every idiot imaginable.

None of them know how to use it.

They make the gym a playground>cirques camp

I have scene a few people distracted and potentially hurt by idiots using the ball as a toy

So out side of the serious users i wish they would ban the thing.

[talon05]

I hate skinny little ganster wanna bes who weigh about 5t0 pounds and run around in under armour shirts and tap out shorts....**** i wanna take my 80s im curling with and bash there faces in.....They sit there on the cable machines do a whole workout on the taking 5 miin in between sets to flex ther 2 inch biceps......aand oh ya they never put there weights away either or wipe down the benches,,,,,I came in one day to find one of them with his shirt off running around the gym flexing lol then my buddy and i walk in for a work out here i am 5 10 245 and my buddy 6 ft 4 300 lol he put his shirt back on fast....And they try and give advice to others while they are working out if it wasnt so funny id snap them in half

[waderow]

I will say this, if any of you were in a gym where Scott Abel was doing his MET training I bet everyone of you would consider converting.

as a % Nate, how many elite body builders use bouncy balls?

[Danger]

I saw something awesome today, 5 kids 'sharing' the bench they looked to be mabey 17-18.

Some girl they know comes over and starts chatting with them and they load a 45 on each side and one of them hops on the bench. Kid gets a lift off the bar goes down and just drops right onto his chest with a audibal thud, it then takes 2 of the other guys mabey like 10 seconds to get the bar back on the rack; looked like they might drop it back onto this idiot they way they struggled with it. I tried not to laugh too loud, they later proceded to do in their own words "Hardcore curls" with 25's and shitty form...

Sometimes its nice to have entertainment!

[Drummer]

MY GYM HAS ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WORK OUT WITH HEAVY WEIGHTS

THE BALL PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN OVER / THE ONES WHO DO WALKING LUNGES AROUND THE ENTIRE GYM WITH 2LB DUMBBELLS

THE ONES WHO PRACTICE CIRCUS TRAIPSE TRAINING ON THE CHIN UP STATION

THE ONES WHO GET TWO BALLS A BAR A BENCH AND FALL THE F'K OVER

THE ONES WHO HIT THE BAR WALKING BY ON THE PHONE !! WHEN YOUR DEAD LIFTING OR SQUATTING AND HIT THE BAR

THE ONES WHO RUN TO THE FRONT DESK WHEN WE DROP THE 100LB DUMBBELL'S IN STEAD OF HURTING YOUR SHOULDERS

THE ONE WHO COMPLAIN WHEN WE SWEAT AND GRUNT

RANT

[Drummer]

Exercise ball are a great tool that have been overused and bastardized.

They have many benefits but being able to do circus tricks should not be one of them.

[natenator]

as a % Nate, how many elite body builders use bouncy balls?
I'm simply saying sometimes they aren't as faggoty as we think. Don't get me wrong I still think they are faggoty but if Scotty can man up then they can't be THAT faggoty.

Granted, I don't see them as a bodybuilding (in the real sense of what bodybuilding is) thing. More of athletic performance in my opinion.

Still, those MET vids are pretty friggin intense lol

[IronRobi]

I use a ball to do cable incline flyes. Allows me to get a bigger stretch than the bench. But I hate when I see people using them for absolutely everything they do.

[Gettin'r'round]

I will say this, if any of you were in a gym where Scott Abel was doing his MET training I bet everyone of you would consider converting.

It took a lot of barfing and training to be able to follow the Met training DVD's. I'm doing the full body hypertrophy right now. I might go back to the MET training but....man dreading workouts isn't fun.
The odd time I do go to a gym you should see the looks I get. I'm the one huffin and puffin doing 4 biplex's to their one or 2 sets, lol. These MET/hybrid workouts are killer for ripping up. Hard as hell but satisfying.

agreed... If I was still playing ball I might consider them for core and stability training.

[arcnspark77]

i laugh at the guys who pile on way too much weight, their spotter buddy is lifting for them from the start of the set. and these same ****ers are just swinging weights around thinking they are so hardcore, being all loud. ****ing joke. sunglasses in the gym is ****ing gay too, you're not in a rap video faggot

[MikeyFXD35]

Ahaha man Im going to hell for laughing at that guy,


He desires it....think about it, you have 2 60lbs dumbbells and you are laying on a latex ball, give your head a shake. That's what benches are for. There has been many of these all over. Real gyms are a thing of the past.

[waderow]

i dont know as I would not want to try, but I am thinking I would be fine of a bounce ball popped under me with the 60's.

so I am thinking the dude is gay

[SmallieBigs]

.... squish squish squish.... LMFAO... still gets me whenever i think about it...

[cog]

There's only one thing one ball is good for and that's rolling on it to manipulate your spine.

[warlock]

I use a ball to do cable incline flyes. Allows me to get a bigger stretch than the bench. But I hate when I see people using them for absolutely everything they do.

That's precisely my point. Use the ball as one more tool, but as in most of stuff being done in "fitness centres" nowadays, most people have no clue of what they are doing.

[Gemini]

I feel your pain man. I ****in hate it when two guys are using one rack each while all they do is talk to one another NOT EVEN EXERCISING. First: They know each other so why can't they use the same rack and take turns. Second: If they wanna talk they could at least step aside the rack to and let others take their turns. Thirdly: These guys use up the racks for an eternity and never seem to be using it, why can't they go talk somewhere else. This pissed me off and I see it often, I usually ask them kindly if I can use one of the racks and workout with them. Most of the time, I have time to do my 4 sets in a row without even one of the guys taking a turn. A don't mind striking up a conversation with someone at the gym, but the gym is not meant for that and I don't do it while standing in a rack. Thanks.

[Gemini]

On another note, regarding exercise balls. Check this video out: http://leenks.com/video2488.html.
The dismount is pretty crazy too.

[VIPpits]

Most of the guys I know who work out are just in the gym to put on a show not really there to get the job done If you have time to do a full lap around the gym in between sets then go home. And anyone caught spiting in the water fountain needs a few shots to the head in the parking lot. There will always be little kids in the gym at least were I'm from thats were all the owners money is coming from kids who pay for a monthly pass but only go 8 days a month, no dedication.

[TheNaturalBodybuilder]

I have not read all the replies in this thread but as a trainer I thought I would add my two cents for what its worth.

The stability ball and bosu ball both have their time and place. Not everyone wants to be a bodybuilder. Some people want to just eat right and be able to do their everyday things with little pain and ease. Training your core is important ( even for a bodybuilder as it makes the lifts that much easier ) When your 60 or 70 years old dont you want to be able to enjoy some physical activities? If your just a bodybuilder you will have a hard time doing those things as your body is not trained for them.

I run a bootcamp and use them all the time. You should see how much my clients core strength has improved using these tools.

Sure their are idiots that dont have a clue on how to use them or try and copy others who use them and do them incorrectly, sure we have morons sitting on the chest press machine for 30 minutes at a time. People who walk infront of you while your watching your form in the mirror. We can never escape these morons no matter which gym we go to. I have come to accept it and it doesnt bother me anymore.
