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?

Benching a pair of 20kg plates means 60kg
Give him some credit

Oh let's be pedantic then shall we for the purposes of ruining the joke!

When someone says knock knock to you do you say "oh, there's someone at the door?"

I'm joking btw......

I saw on a GYM FAIL video once a guy taking a plate off a guy who was in the middle of a set. Was priceless.

I'm still in two minds on one. I tend to train more in classes rather than individual session. General circuit stuff focused on squats, bench, deadlifts etc with cardio and other dumbbell/barbell work. Now every class the trainer will have everything setup, excluding the weights as that's up to you (he might say up/down if you're coasting or struggling but its up to you) and you can obviously grab more dbells if needed.
Class finished and you'd have anywhere between 4 and 12 people there. They just sit having a chat or head home once its done. They never restack the weights, bars and dbells.

I know they technically don't put the weights out but I still think it's common courtesy to help put them back. It takes 2 mins max.

Young ones looking for attention, no interest at all in the gym. Same 2 girls in my gym chatting and laughing like it's a night club. All dressed up in their gym gear and doing nothing.

Bench press related story - saw a guy once benching let's say 80kgs (I forget exactly how much but that's not the funny part) on a Smith Machine....but....wait for it......he had 50kgs on one side and 30kgs on the other!

Was so weird.

Just....how??

I had 2.5kg extra on one side for a deadlift and it completely put me off. Can't imagine what a difference of 20kg would be like.

Experienced a topless workout last night. Some guy walking around for half an hour with no top and dripping sweat.

He wasn't anywhere near me so I left him to it but I can't believe no staff said anything to him.

Give the guy a break, Mr/Ms Perfect. His left chesticle is obviously bigger than his right (or vice versa) and he's trying to even things out, quickly.

Was it Transform? I'm convinced he doesn't own a single t shirt.

I believe so, assuming Transform is a black British man living in North London.

Must have been some catalyst to trigger that transformation.

Transform is capable of being anyone he puts his mind to.

A woman at my gym doing some kind of corework/stretch routine lying on the floor next to the benches everybody uses for dumbell exersises literally right next to you lying on the floor dumbell falling on her head is accident waiting to happen. I don't understand why she doesn't use the designated core work/stretching area of the gym! If I need to drop the dumbells i have to check she s not in the way

Even if this were the case people do drop things.

I myself dropped a thing only yesterday. Didn't intend to. Didn't plan it. Yet it happened. I can only thank my stars that the thing I dropped wasn't a heavy dumbell, and the thing I dropped it on wasn't a silly woman's head.

But people do drop the weights i see others do it all the time. There made rubber material for a reason!

People leave loaded bars and walk away all the time too. Doesn’t make it right

Alf Veedersane

People drop dumbbells on purpose and not. Surely it's less risky to not flute about in the wrong area where you're at risk of being hit by a dumbbell that shouldn't have been dropped?

Saying DBs shouldn't be dropped down beside the bench is well and good but it happens in every gym more often than not.
