He wasnt a regular attender but when he did attend he could put everything he could find in its place. Would spend about 5 minutes setting up his bench in just the right place/angle. Redoing it over and over. Moving it millimeters. Felt kinda sorry for the guy as you could see the frustration on his face.

Same as the bar with I'm deadlifting, it has to line up with whatever straight lines are on the floor I rearrange the dumbells in the racks too lol. Sorry

Yes I'm mad .... you don't have to tell me lol be interesting though to hear if anyone else is like this.

Of course, best solution is to buy your own pair of gloves - cheap as chips and you only have to worry about your own sweaty hands in them then!
EmmaMurray2016 wrote: » Sound, I'll get handwraps. I've bought myself a pair gloves but didn't see anyone else bring their own in. So I'll just bring my own and handwraps will keep mine clean thanks

It was so manky looking I went over to get towels and spray to clean it myself and then I actually went over to the guy and said "sorry, do you mind wiping the machines with a towel when you're finished, thanks". It's not really my place to say it I know, and probably just better to let these things go...

I have been seeing him for the last 18 months. he does 1 set, quite light weights, and, than sits there, doing nothing for... the same time it takes me to do 3 sets... i am actually using him as my timer, to see how many sets i can do, before he does the next one. than, as he finishes his set, he will get up, walk to the water fountain, and, sit down again, just staring at himself in the mirror. My record is 6 sets, and i just started the 7th, and he woke up. My wife an i call him the statue... and, he looks exactly like he did on day 1...He gets up, goes to the gym, and basically do nothing,

I go to the gym to work out. I am not the biggest guy in my gym, but, i am 1.9m, 104Kg, and, and i am not fat.
