Out of the honeymoon phase, but Vonny and I are definitely still in a relationship. Back off.

I hate it when people steal my favourite speed ball, the only one I can get to go straight, same goes for my favourite floor to ceiling. Maybe I'll write my name on them.

 

[Deliverance]

How ****ing hard is it to put weights back on the rack? Pisses me off when people leave equipment all over the floor.

My new gym's weight area is a ****ing pig sty that never gets tidied up. It's a 24 hour gym so you expect a certain level of mess in the morning but it seriously looks like no one has ever cleaned up.

It's part of a chain so I wrote an email to their customer support to ask what their tidying roster was (if any).

If it's goodlife, they don't have one as far as I know. When i used to work at a stand alone gym, every trainer had to log 5 hours a week picking up weights, cleaning the gym floor etc. Weights were always in the right spots and machines were never left loaded up

Go to goodlife and it's a ****ing shit fight

I went to a Pure when I was over there and I spent as much time looking for weights as I did actually lifting them.

Derrimut Gym in Thomastown is the worst when it comes to people not putting weights back or in the correct spot

Pure Gym, bingo

I saw a guy rocket out of the chair on a leg press machine because he was doing too light of weight and springing/jumping off with each repetition.

Ive also seen two guys throw a Do Not Use sign that was on a machine on the floor and then proceed to use it, they didn't get hurt but the machine had no cables on it so..

when you're doing squATS without the aid of mirrors, and you see out of corner of eye a large lad walk behind you and stop, and you dont know what he's doing or looking at

Talking to a mate about Olympic lifts and weight training. The annoying quotes summed up:
Olympic lifts are basically crossfit (not understanding that's where crossfit got them)
Olympic lifts promote bad form
I don't like weightlifting exercises I like bodybuilding ones

 

[GROTTO]

The two guys that walked into the gym this morning. One of the two walks past and F@^k putrid horrible heavy smell of a fart. It just stuck around and around and around. Went round the corner where they were and it was there too. I swear one of them must of shit himself or stepped in some.

More than likely wore the same clothing from the day before and or didnt shower before hitting the gym or hasnt for days.

Got to say, I love a hot shower before hitting the gym, really warms up the body.

 

[GROTTO]

Literally no one at my gym trains with a towel, groce

Towels are compulsory. But no one mentioned the size, so a few guys rock up with handkerchief towels.

That hurts my heart to be honest. I'm not a fan of Crossfit (and I did it for 3 months) but I hate that people now associate olympic lifts and bumper plates with crossfit. If you follow any of the gym meme style facebook pages people actually refer to bumper plates as 'crossfit plates'

I've seen people with beach towels

 

[Jab]

I've seen people with beach towels

I'd take that over a napkin, particularly in summer.

I've been arguing with him about lifting for an hour now lol

Agree. I dont see the big deal with a beach towel. In fact, I would prefer if everyone did that, it would minimize the sweat on seats etc a lot.

 

[FreoRicci]

Probably more funny then irritating.. Alot of guys dressing like 'homeboys' with cuffed trackies and zip up hoodies, completed with backwards cap. Gotta look the part for the gym, right .

Definitely agree with beach towels, I actually bring one during summer due to the fact I sweat.. A LOT. Mainly for me being considerate for others, dripping all over the floor/benches. The small 'gym towels' just don't do in those hot days.

 

[PoppedCorn]

I ****ing hate cuffed trackies

They look completely stupid

As stupid as straight rimmed baseball caps

Sorry
Needed to be said

 

[GROTTO]

I did dumbbell bench press in the squat rack the other day enjoyed being a campaigner.

Why? I go early arvo and no one else is there and there is an old chic that goes in there always does aerobics in it. Yes I kid you not. So I deprived her of that. So when she arrived she had the audacity to ask me how long I would be. I said as long as it takes for me to feel the pump in my chest.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Aerobics in a squat cage???
Wtf??
Stupid bitch

In some times feel like jumper punching myself when I see shit like this.

I'll just leave this here:

Happens at one of the gyms I go too. regularly see 5-6 old man doodles in the time i am in the change room.


One thing I hate to witness is the blowdryer on the arse crack and nutsack.... smh



on another issue.

Old dude at the gym was on the lateral shoulder raise machine and had the weight set pretty high (would have been over 50kgs) and was lifting the weight maybe an inch before he slammed it back down.. did a few sets and reps.. really pissed me off... dont know why.

 

[CatFan79]

When I'm gettin changed the amount of dirtbags who exit the stalls without washing up and sometimes not even flushing... Seriously WTF.

NEVER leave the gym without washing your hands!
