Annoying Gym Behaviour - Mk2(?)

optimistic_

Whatever happened to that old thread? I loved that thread.

Anyway, wanted it back because it's entertaining reading. I'm finding it hard to get the ball rolling because at 6.30am there's not much in the way of annoying behaviour in my gym. The usual plates not returned to racks or whatever. Or people splashing big gross wet footprints around the place after the shower.

What new horror stories have we for 2015?

We're not in the gym.

You should piss off the the annoying gym behaviour thread behaviour thread

I only use my gym gloves when I'm drying my balls with the hairdryer because hygiene.

I tried it too, the principal said I shouldn't be using school property like that and maybe I shouldn't be teaching baby infants any more

Just one more thing....

...explain how my hands got roughed up deadlifting with an Eleiko bar when i had chalk on my hands.

The bar is abrasive, I suppose.

My young fella spends a few hours a week hanging out of perfectly smooth wooden bars and rings, with hands covered in chalk. No calluses or roughed up hands. If chalk was abrasive wouldn't his hands bit in bits?

I've worse calluses now from pull ups than I ever had from deadlifting with chalk. In that I actually have tiny calluses.

Anyway, back to my original point. Chalk isn't sticky.

I use a mixture of caldesens medicated talc and chalk to keep fresh. I smell like the world's strongest baby.

I was joking. Cheese graters only come into being as seconds from the Eleiko bar factory.

As you and others have said, chalk is used as a drying agent. Not to make your hands sticky but to prevent them being slippy.

My sarcasm detector has been knocked offline by sleep deprivation.

WHIP IT!

Am I the only person who doesn't think lads drying their balls with the hairdryer is that bad?? It's not like they're nuzzling the nozzle under their ballbag.... or are they?? :eek:

Unless they want to burn it off

Not that it's annoying but I do find it perplexing- Gym Bros in stringer tops in a gym with no heat when it's 2.0C and blowing a gale.
I'm in there rubbing tiger balm on my wrists trying to warm them up a bit

Fellas wringing out their swimming shorts onto the floor of the changing room.

Old lads sitting around in the nip texting with their ball sacks hanging out .

People that insist on using the locker next to you when there is 50+ free ones.

Definitely a hanging offence...

From belly button to mid-thigh you are crawling with coliform bacteria which originate in your intestine. Some of these bacteria are deadly - superbug deadly. They're the reason you're supposed to wash your hands after taking a wiz. Washing won't kill the coliform bacteria, but it will help cut down on the rate of transfer. One presumes that warming them up and making them airborne with a hairdryer will have the opposite effect.

Have a few which have probably been mentioned before.

1) Letting weights smash down making a colossal loud bang when you finish your last repetition. Happened a few times where I actually got a fright whilst running on a treadmill.

2) those on a thread mill who are oblivious to letting their feet smack down hard often hitting the front plastic cover of the threadmill. Bang, bang, bang, bang for 20 mins.

3) the usual one or two sets of fellas who have to be the loudest in the gym, constant loud yapping and laughing.

So as you can see I have a thing with too much noise !

4) the fellas who somehow use up 3 or 4 spaces in the changing rooms by spreading out their clothes and belongings everywhere

Where do you think the bollocks water is gone when they are done?

DM_7

Am annoying my self lately with all the bits and pieces I have to bring.

Belt, dip belt, Mini Bands, resistance band, wrist wraps, wrist straps, grip spray. Then only need them for 20% or less of my workout.

Also have to bring Inhaler (just in case), Water, tracky bottoms and hoodie (winter, it is cold). A bag to carry stuff in.

Then some days I need a suspension cable.

Am considering a kettlebell some days as they don't have them in the gym and I don't like dumbells for swings etc.

Oh and a towel.

P.S, now if I didn't have my stuff I don't think I could go into the gym at all! WTF!

Why the **** do you care? Depends what you mean by smaller of course but assuming you're not some powerlifer wtf does it matter. You obviously got lucky whereas these guys are small framed dweebs who will never reach the size you are no matter how much they lift or good form they use. LMAO I should know I'm one such person.

GENETICS are everything. Guys like us just need to lift and do cardio, suits our looks better.

I honestly cannot fathom your thought process. Even these guys who might bench, deadlift, squat and barbell press more than you in a real life scenario you more than likely would overpower them. I see it playing football. My friend is not strong in the gym at all but could knock me off the ball easy even though my core strength is well above average.

Because some people's goals are to be stronger and could care less above getting bigger.

Far too many variables to say that. And skill is the biggest factor. But being stronger is a point his that guys favour, not against.

Probably just better at tackling than you.

What Mellor said above I guess but I think this is more a case of a major whoosh moment.

One I haven't seen in a long time but saw a guy doing a Smith Machine Leg Press this morning with no safety catches in place (not that that would excuse it!). This in a virtually empty gym (it was very early) with all the actual leg machines unused at the time. Always gives me a giggle that one.

In case you haven't seen it, the user lies flat on the ground and with their legs at 90degress push up on a loaded bar. Has to be seen to be believed.

People who don't use the lockers/changing rooms and instead setup camp in various places around the gym.

Yesterday I nearly snotted myself on a handbag and jacket.

Seems to be more and more of this in the last few months.
