however, i did see some patrons doing a single arm DB row last night. angle of back greater than 45 degrees (i.e. half way to upright).
Im always tempted to correct peoples form in the gym, especially when they're looking like they're heading towards an injury, but decide against it since i'll probably be told where to go

Even worse than that, the trainers don't even seem to correct form, even when training a client. Trainer was training someone and her client said "my lower back is getting really sore" (doing squats), the trainer responded with "well yeah, that's good, pain is a good thing". The girls form was horrible...am waiting for a law suit.

and their backs were hunched
Most of my gym seem to do things with a hunch back (deadlifts, row etc). My gf is qualified in sports therapy, she almost has a breakdown every time she sees it
 
The old DB or barbell "bent over" row-shrug is a sight to behold!
I actually don't do them because I find it too hard to maintain good form unless the weight is too light to be doing much good anyway.
Haven't seen anyone do it properly for a long time, save for the PTs in the gym demonstrating it to clients with ultra-light weights.

Big fan of Pendlay rows to serve the same function, and of course deads should be in any healthy person's workout.
 
Hi guys, I've been going to the gym for a few months but I'm new to this board.

This has been mentioned, but I find people who brag about the weights they lift some of the most irritating.

When I go to the gym, I leave my ego at the door, lift some weights, and then get the hell out of there.

What's the point of showing off and trying to lift more than you can? We're all in there to get stronger/bigger so why not just go about our business and concentrate on form and a good routine. If you want to impress people with the weights you lift, enter a powerlifting competition.

a real f*%k boi turned up to the gym the other night

he turned up and was speaking loudly about how really big biceps were 18 inches and above but his were only 17.9 inches.

then his friend asked him for a spot and f boi kept telling him to suck his D

then he started pulling pins out of the machines people were using and laughing really loudly about it

then he started wrestling with his friend in the middle of the weights area


to top it off this d bag wears a AAA hoddie with the sleeves rolled all the way up. A weight lifting belt. ultra tight ultra short shorts. White chuck taylors with white socks pulled up about half way up his calves.


total **** boi

I only just noticed the title says Irritating People/Things That Annoy You In The Gym II.

Was there a first thread or is this 2 threads merged?

people is self explanatory
things i think refers to objects in the gym, for example a dumbell that annoys you. or the mats, or even bathroom amenities

;)

I know that's what it refers to but was there another thread dealing with this topic that exceeded the original 1000 post limit?

My glorious thread was closed within months of the 1000 posts per thread limit being removed :(
 
10 free treadmills.

She chooses the one next to me.
Sounds like the female equivalent of the creepy guy at a urinal who ignores all social etiquette and choose the one next to you after walking past the empty ones.
 
When a blokes form is that poor its districts you
