So others can get a set in while you restOh, i just thought of another one. Squatters, i dont mean people who do squats (what's not to love about squats
), I mean those that have taken up residence on a piece of equipment. I know, rest between sets, but seriously, 5 mins between a set is taking the piss.
I regularly rest 5 minutes between sets when I'm squatting heavy.
Oh, and I'm on my phone during my rest periods.
Ok fine but move aside at least
Why?
If they want to approach me and ask me to set in, then that is fine. But I'm not just going to unrack my weights and step aside after each set on the off-chance that someone might be waiting on me.
yes. they can ask if it bother them so much. but it seems like in my gym, the guys ignore me because i'm usually the only girl in the racks at 6am so they go ask the other bros in the other racks.0 -
Those girls who go with their boyfriends all made-up and cute and ****e, not to work out, but to sit on the equipment with their feet up texting and watching their boyfriends lift. Get the *kitten* off and let people lift. Go text in your car.
Yes!0 -
Douche bag who wears a t-shirt that says "I Love Boobies" and he climbs on the treadmill next to me...and of course we are facing the mirror.0

I am mildly annoyed by the guys who do circuits and call dibs on a bench, some dumbells, two machines, and a squat rack for 45 minutes.
Also annoyed when I go to use a machine and I see a sweaty outline of a human on it.. lol
Also the girls who stare at me and my gym buddy like were nuts when we go to use the squat rack....
Wow I had more than I thought! lol0 -
I don't care what other people are doing in the gym. My only pet peeve are people who care what I am doing in the gym.
Ok I do have one: the guy who stretches on the bench in front of me whose junk falls out of his shorts. I don't like that guy.0 -

Fair enough i just am not that lazy i guess
Or maybe you're not lifting enough weight.
I'm not unracking 135lbs in between each set when I'm benching and I'm d@mn sure not unracking and re-racking 240lbs in between sets when I'm squatting.0 -

Yeah. Because it is lazy to continuously rack and unrack 300lbs+ after each set.0 -
I could work in with you because we're doing about he same weight! Throw a little more weight on the bench, squat good to go. Wouldn't even be embarrassed that I'm a man. #Impressed

A young lady working at one of the gyms I go to thinks its okay to hug me from behind when I'm zoned out between sets. I had to talk to management twice now.0

The overwhelming anxiety I get knowing that whatever I'm doing somebody is not going to like it and post about it on a message board0

People who give a flying ****** what anyone else is doing, unless they're in someone's way or truly doing something stupid and dangerous.
Leave me alone, I'm there to work out.0 -
Old women in the locker room with stuff sagging everywhere and copious amounts of pubic hair who insist on walking around stark naked for long periods of time, bending over, reaching for things, socializing with strangers, etc. is all of that really necessary? Please put something on before you do these things. There is always at least one in every women's locker room.0

When there are only 8 floor mats, it's 7 pm so it's really busy, and 1 person decides to double/triple up the mats, and there are none left! :huh: I have actually told someone off before because of it. Come on mother****er, you're not the only person in this huge gym! ****. lol0

old ladies with their horrible pungent perfume.
other than that pretty much nothing else.
^This, particularly in the pool. There's nothing worse than turning your head for breath in mid-lap & getting blasted with the unexpected old lady perfume bomb........
When you show up in the morning to hit the pool & the lifeguard hasn't bothered to make their way into work, & the attendant signing you in doesn't bother to tell you even though they know you're there for the pool so that you get changed, rinse off & stand outside the locked pool until the same attendant walks in & finally tells you what's going on.......0 -
Some days racking somebody else's plates is the hardest part of my routine. That, and having to re-arrange the benches so I can get into the squat rack. It's not so much a peeve as just another part of the workout.0

I have few. most have already been mentioned. one that hasn't is when the air conditioning isn't on. if it's too hot, I don't get in a good work out at all!0

you sound like you are new to lifting and thats great...but the gym doesnt work the way you think it does. you should read up on gym protocol.0 -
If I fail on the last rep on my set I rest a full 5 min and hit all my reps in my next set. 5 min is not excessive if you are working at your max weight.Oh, i just thought of another one. Squatters, i dont mean people who do squats (what's not to love about squats ), I mean those that have taken up residence on a piece of equipment. I know, rest between sets, but seriously, 5 mins between a set is taking the piss.
This ^^^^...while they play cards on their phones.0 -
- Banging Weights on the machines. Control, control, control.
- Sitting on your phone texting, during a set, no focus. Half assed rep. If your not going to do it properly, take a hike.
- Getting on a machine, banging out a rep as fast as possible, with too little weight, then sitting there flexing after the "set".
- Not putting the pin all the way in, hits on the inside of the machine as the weight goes up..cling, cling, cling. (Only apparent on certain makes of equipment where the weights are inside a metal column.
Just to name a few.0 -

Lazy? DYEL?
Because if you really did, you'd know and understand that 2-5 min is the normal resting period.0 -
