Strength Irritating people/things that annoy you in the gym III

[phantom13]

Jokes aside compared many manual labour tasks weights aren't even that hard on your hands, after a couple of weeks they will be used of it. Plus you won't look like a plonker with gloves and I've heard that they don't even help that much for blisters anyway.

I never take my wedding ring off and the callous that’s formed under that is a proper doozy. Broadly my hands are a little “weathered” from daily lifting but you’re bang on, compared to most manual labourers it looks like I use a nightly hand cream and wear gloves to bed

I couldnt even train in trackies tbh, shorts only.

Jeans is ****ing insane.

I like track pants with the muscle shirt, hides rubbish calves.

Not working hard enough if you can train comfortably in trackies! I'm with Phantom, shorts only, haven't much liked the sessions in trackies

I've never done one in trackies, old basketball shorts and Everlast top from Kmart is my jam.

Not sure a bloke worried about a couple of blisters should be casting aspersions

Honestly a testament to my toughness, grit, and heart that I work through it tbh

I actually hate t shirts, the sleeves just are annoying and makes it all lift up when you raise your arms.

Barely see anyone in them these days but gotta go the muscle shirt!

Yeh even in the dead of winter in the outdoor home gym its shorts and ill warm up in an old hoodie then take it off.

If its too cold to be shirtless, work harder.

I would but I'd get hassled too much by the ladies in the gym, I'm there to work out!

I have 4 or 5 Everlast tops (all sleeveless).
Bonds fleece shorts are incredibly comfortable so I wear them in all weather

Your 8 minute planks in the squat rack causing some issues?

Bloke at mine does this. Inclines 120kg with ease so I am not going to judge

And what if they are skinny jeans? Mass restriction on the legs. Perhaps thats what the patron wants, restriction adding resistance.

Like you, if you harden up, they will harden up.

Then they'll be lovely callouses you can show other office nerds and pick at constantly

Nah they are baggy-ish. Like regular jeans.

Defo not like knee wraps or other cheating items

That is part of it, apparently it’s “the whole package” though

Takeaway coffee and an intra-workout drink. Interesting. First time I'd seen someone do it. It's a common PWO

Feels like a recipe to be dashing to the porcelain very very quickly to me

Clearly in a cutting cycle...

I put iced coffee in a shake, had about half then went to the gym.

As an avid iced coffee drinker I knew the dangers. It happens every single morning, you get the coffee guts brisk walk to the bathroom. A silly mistake, in no rush to do it again

On the plus side, they've finally changed the music playlist. I swear it was the same for the last 6 months!

I dont know which female fitness influencer started this, as I have seen a few girls recently start doing this at my gym but the assisted lat pulldown machine is not really designed to do warm up squats on.

Its how I do my morning dump before hitting the gym, I have a strong black coffee as soon as I wake up.

I think Im sharing too much on here.
