    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.

    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?

    I have to rest at least 5 minutes between sets now that I'm starting to max out on weights. If they don't like it, they can get over it.

    So others can get their sets in most peoples sets do last less than 5 mins anyways

    So others can get a set in while you rest

    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.

    Those girls who go with their boyfriends all made-up and cute and ****, 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. 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.

    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! lol

    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.

    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.
