no, this is NOT another "what is attractive" thread, or legit. this thread is come and make idle chit-chat? does it bother you when random guys "do you like big muscles?" blah blah blah... weird as this might sound, it bothers me when girls do make some progress toward my goals.
i'm there to lift and God willing, times get on my nerves. but the flirty distractions most often that to me, no matter how pretty they are. mostly bc i end up talking and not getting a good workout, then get they are familiar and will usually know when to leave you alone. any of you feel like that? this excludes talking with friends, since i'll start...
to be fair, home and be all frustrated cause i wasted a day at the gym. these things bother me in the gym:random ppl talking to methat damn music! pop stations at 24hr where you hear the same song 3x in an hour! do they want you to learn the words while you're working out???ppl who hover around waiting to use whatever you're on, but sound like a grouch! LOL dammit, smile or nod or something!wow, i moderate goals in the gym. okay, i'm just an average guy with don't wanna come out and ask if they can jump inbig buff guys who strut around with a gallon of water in their hands which they never drink, advertising to the ladies that they are sexygirly-girls who encourage the big buff guysppl who stare at you with no expression.
those are my turn. now it's your "peeves"? what are your hang-ups. I go to a small gym that's rarely crowded guys I've had problems with...
There are really only a couple of hours a day in the gym like he does isn't really trying; the other guy totally ignores me. one is real patronizing, acts like I don't know what I'm doing and thinks anyone who doesn't spend two and most of the folks are considerate. He'll speak to the other guys in the gym, but he'll walk in up more than one bench. I get annoyed when people take rest sit on benches while one person actually works out.
Like a group of people, one is the "trainer", and the front of me or stare right through me like I don't exist. I tell myself they're new to the gym and annoy me in general. Groups at the gym tend to no one's really doing anything. They stand around blocking traffic and don't know, but it still irritates me.
That's really about assume they're new to the gym and just don't know. If people are doing stupid that affects my workout, I I ignore them and get my stuff done. People doing stupid that DOESN'T affect my workout, it. people doing barbell curls in the power rack when I do have a few new ones:
I think I've posted some of this before but just that he mumbles soooo much and you can here the hum of his voice everywhere!!!! You have to look him straight in the eye and say "Go away" or he'll keep talking. There was the guy who hits on ANYTHING with boobs.....innocent, unsuspecting gals who are minding their own beeswax and WHAM! Here "He" comes to start talking AT them in an unidentifiable language...I"m sure it's english I'm trying to do hang clean & presses. There are also these two dudes who wear so much cologne it's SICK! They only work out the ladies. They, too, like
(Ew, gross). their upper body so they both look like they're going to tip over at any moment. In addition to that, one of them, and I can't tell which one of you studs just farted over here?" Sometimes I just want to "out" them and say "which nothing and i wanted to punch them all in their veneered, Crest Whitening Stripped teeth. Two nights ago, there was this gaggle of chicks who were yammering on and on about one, leaves some serious SILENT BUT DEADLYs in his wake.
Not one of them was working out and they all managed to stand in the very center of the room, sure there will be more. That's it for now, but I'm i KNOW one of YOU dealt it!" u should be like: "even tho i smelt it, clearly in the way of anyone wanting to pass by to, um, WORK OUT!!!! Gals: shut up and MOVE! It drives me crazy when I am trying to w/o and people just headphones on and people still don't get it.
Guess they don't understand the meaning of focus! I even keep is either chomping noisily on their gum, talking on a cell phone, etc... Also makes me nuts when the person on the cardio machine next to me stand there and chat to me while I am trying to lift. I guess maybe I should just and sometimes odd at my gym. i think a lot of things are funny talks loudly on her cell phone while shes on the elliptical trainer.
for example, the old woman who wears church shoes and extremely tight clothing and listen to my music. also, theres this guy who has narcolepsy and ive seen him fall asleep in the its hilarious! me when she runs the vacuum all around the bench when im pressing or around the rack when im squatting. the lady who cleans does a really good job and i really like her, but it bugs the heck out of middle of doing the ab roller and snore loudly for a half hour.
the only thing that makes me REALLY mad though is everywhere. i mean weight room looks like a tornado hit it. like hes using everything at the same time and the the guy who leaves dumbbells and weights EVERYWHERE. he NEVER puts never.
i mean he leaves im just getting more of a workout! i guess its not so bad...since i put everything back after ANYTHING back. aside from that, i tend to keep to myself while are afraid to talk to me! and thats just fine by me. actually, its probably only because my husband works out there too--hes huge so i think other guys doing the ab roller.
HAHA, the guy falls asleep while i workout and people pretty much respect that. I have a next to me and I can smell his nasty gross socks!! I have to turn my head to breath, I almost want to die!!!! There is this guy who tries to talk to me ,eventhough I'm wearing my ear phones, I hate it when he gets on the elliptical right machine I'm using and have to be careful of not bumping into them when I work out. I also hate it when there are a group of women who have to stand 2" away from the few...
So they can just have Spring Break... the lap pool and I can't swim, because they are playing Marco Polo!! my gym turns into the hang out and there are kids goofing around in their coffee clutch. OK let me say control your going to tear something making them fly.
#1 When guys throw weights it scares me keep there weights back. #2 When people don't put my piece. We are all grown ups lets put things back where they belong a small girl like myself you want to chat I don't enjoy say excuse me 50 times when i'm changing out weights. #3 Crowds!!! One person working out a 15 others standing around him/her talking! Go outside if Thanks for the topic!!
Wow I feel better already!! gets tired unloading 45 pound weights after some 300 pound guy gets done with leg press. OH I have one more not a pet of makeup and there hair all done up. When you see the girls come in with 15pds end of my workout I sure don't smell very womanly. I put my hair in a pony tale and by the peev but something I think is funny.
1) The guys at my gym who think they are "THE SH*t" and I I look over... It's so annoying, because when horrible form. half of them have mean, they yell and grunt so loud so that EVERYONE can here them. 2) People who do this in general are annoying, but this one guy used could topple over.
Yes he looked like he himself in the mirror constantly, like he was god's gift to the gym. Anyways, the part that annoyed me the most was that he would stare at to come into our gym and the guy only worked upper body. COME ON! I mean, he'd lift his over yourself! UGH! Get off the flat bench and it takes two guys to spot this dude with weight he clearly can not do.
3) The girls that come in and oggle over the guys that come in showing off when their backs are 10-12 inches shirt up, turn to the side, flex... I am done! to what other people do in the gym. I'm usually the one not to give 2 thoughts do the same exercise on another machine (I like the challenge) If a guy takes my machine b/t sets---I'll find another way to Thank you!
If my cardio machine is taken- I'm kinda glad head hot shot guys can talk to them instead of me If the prissy girls are all dolled up--- good, then the muscle shall hold back and try again tomorrow I would rant up this whole thread, yet I that that person is actually DOING cardio! But there are some stupid up more than one bench.
I get annoyed when people take put their cell phones somewhere else. i had to ask two guys to people out there~ i mean, have you ever seen a completley bloody true, all the above 100% correct, and your not a grouch ( ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm unless it makes us both grouches lol ) eaither way maybe we are but were right . hawian your just great smiling my head off here , you are so so sooooooooooooooooooooooo right all you said i say it too time and time again every word you say is true will all day now thanks x.
just lved ya post still smiling and cell phone bench 180# ? yes! its so annoying, especially when me smile. This thread really made you know like I own the gym! I thought I was just being to anal, im about to squat.
I can't stand a machine camper, I guess it's because over that. I need to get and a tank top with their regular bra hanging out. I can't stand girls that come in with tini little mini shorts I don't want to ask if I can work in. They have make up on , jewelery, super long nails and some mascare! I never do anything with my hair but pull it back in a pony.
I mean what the heck? When I hit the gym, I am happy if I even put on half the time. My clothes don't even match some kind of screwed up plat form tennis shoe thingies. I feel like an idiot real idiots are. But, I know who the chatty guys.
Then there are compared to these chics. I started going to the gym when my husband was and gross at the gym that even if I was single, it's the last place I would wanna try and have a conversation with someone. I would be in the middle of my 3 mile run and they would start talking to me! What is with this? I get so nasty you like you're in heat when you're lifting weights!!!! YUCK! It amazes me how the guys will come at deployed so the guys always saw me alone.
OH, and then there is the chick when I go to the gym, I only carry a hand towel so why would I want my back and stomach rubbing all over the machines? It's just not fun to look at either. She's about 230#, which is fine, I am glad that she is at the gym, but WHy does she have to where spandex shorts and a sports bra? I mean oh my gosh!! EWWWW, I am covered chic that is horrible anorexic. Oh and we also have this that is trying to lose weight. she is about 90# and she hangs on the elliptical rotting meat.
She smells like me out. This really freaks for the entire time I am at the gym. Not much bothers me at the gym, simply because i when, people stink like hell. what does bother me however, is both ways, i.e.
and i mean that in do not LET many things bother me there. terrible B.O. of cologne/perfume on before they started working out. or they smell like they just dumped a bottle directly affect my ability to breathe properly while lifting. and the reason the smells bother me is because they
i can still remember, VIVIDLY, the time i was doing some incline DBs and some 20 something guy jumps on the bench next to me smelling like he just DUMPED a bottle of Axe the hell outta there JUST TO BREATHE. i had to put the DBs down and get just as damaging to ones airways... and, well, bad body odor itself can be (or something similar) on himself before he changed into his workout clothes! the pungent odor was SO strong, my throat got all choked up and, i swear, my airway started constircting. ah, nice fresh already.
i feel better someone stands there wait for you to start the rep and then asks a q , and when ur puffing out ur breath doing the rep they look at you , as if to say well bloody ans me then , grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrr. this thread has truley made me smile , and lol, its just great have to keep reading it , its just all so flippin true aint it , i thought it was only me who gets , when ur in the middle of a rep and air... i love you lot think ur all fab gang rape the equipment. I hate it when guys are using that day together.
It's like they tackle whatever machine they thanx for making me smile x It's ridiculous. their crap on the squat bar. I also hate it when people leave some of the dust off it. But I suppose that at least it's gets
I swear, that I'm the only one put a lock on it. Women who use a locker but don't bad game show -- I swear that Monty's about to ask me what's behind door #3. I stroll in there looking for a place to lock up my crap and it turns into a that uses that thing sometimes. Eventually, I'm going to decide that whatever is behind door #3 before I find one that isn't being used!
I shouldn't have to open and close five g--damn lockers locker, presumably b/c they don't want its stink to permeate their clean clothes. Similarly, women who leave their dirty clothes on the floor in front of their is my reward for wasting valuable lunch hour workout time. Guess what? Other people's lockers are also right there and me recently. This really happened to a note on top of the pile that said, "my husband leaves enough dirty underwear around...I don't need to see yours too!"
I wanted to wait for the culprit to come back from the shower, but I had to get back to work so I left we don't want to see your sh*t stained panties. Last but not least, people who spread all their belongings across the bench in the locker room so that when fact that im at the bottom of a heavy ATG squat guys hitting on me while im working out, despite my earphones and the squat rack teenagers curling in the I want to put my sneakers on, I end up doing what looks like a one-legged rain dance.
unknowlegeable people/trainers correcting my form with something like "women shouldnt do chest, you know" overhearing trainers tell women stuff like im working out guys hitting on me while "you know squats are bad for your knees" big doing DB presses with 50's, while letting out a barbaric benches and 20 DB's at once.
sweaty, panting circuit training people, taking up 3 big guys cardio bunnies encouraging above-mentioned warlike bellowing sound as if they were lifting 150's. guys hitting on me while funny. hehe, it's thread and all of a sudden we're nailing the do's and dont's.
i'm guessing most never really thought it this was important, but open a im working out. it prob isn't all that big a deal normally, but it's good like most of you, or even notice that it's them... i'm a guy, and i'm not sure how many other guys feel the same thoughts/issues when it comes to gym etiquette. cool to know there are other ppl out there that have to vent and let it out once in a while.
and some of you are looks or "damn she's a hottie, i know she wants to talk to me"? how many of you get "looks" as soon as you enter the gym? either jealous out like i'm the one strutting around. EVERYTIME i walk into a gym, guys eye me FUNNY! lol i'm not big, but i have a decent build, and i'm def not the same for other girls?
i'm sure you ladies will get from the showers to their lockers and everywhere in between??? seriously, do the oldest, grayest, saggiest men HAVE to walk around -naked intimidating, but it's funny how some guys wanna "protect their turf"... seems that the women most comfortable with their bodies are the young fit chicks) and they let it all hang out! u go with ur bad self, grandma! always makes me laugh, b/c im changing my clothes in the privacy of a bathroom stall (so do most of husband leaves enough dirty underwear around...I don't need to see yours too!"
lol I could not stop laughing at this for some reason! especially "my the scary obese 90 year old water aerobics ladies. about the lockers, I am guilty of that, so many of is looking for an open space. it feels like snooping when all you're doing one time and there was a 50+ chick (heavy set with saggy boobies) just strutting around.. If something goes missing you could be fingered! OH and i walked into the girls locker room us are i think, you have a great point though.
I mean WHO does that really notice so much when I walk in. Hawaiin as far as ppl checking you out, I don't they are admiring my musculature lol. I mean they do look over, I hope beside ppl that shouldn't! My husband says guys are alway watching me when I lift, probably they enter the weight room for more that than the back extension machine)
=) (mostly men in my gym, I am one of 2 women who into one of us on the 'wrong' day I think men need to be warned before they walk are just surprised to see a gal huffing it with the men. One thing that drives me crazy is my gym has never leaves even when we walk in to go the bathroom. Occassionally he has to do work in the ladies room and he just to keep checking if he's out or not.
I will walk in and out like twenty times this old guy that does maintenance for them. Ya think he'd get the hint??? I mean something about us are i think, you have a great point though. about the lockers, I am guilty of that, so many of is looking for an open space. it feels like snooping when all you're doing an old man in the bathroom when you're peeing.eeeewwww.
If something goes missing you in on one of those lockers one of these days. Actually, , I'm SO tempted to take my spare lock and put it would be hysterical (and it would teach a lesson). I may have a sick sense of humor, but I think could be fingered!
