if you drop any dumbell under 55lbs your a gym idiot even although some lifts there is not reason to drop weight at all

    I loathe the gym idiot - I remember back in college I was rowing crew so my upper body was really strong. Well - this dude is using the lateral pull down - probably about 80lbs - grunting and screaming "get it! get it!" and "bring it home!" TO HIMSELF! then drops the damn weights. So, for kicks I asked if he was between sets, sat down, upped the weight a bit and started whistling as I pulled down. He probably couldn't please his woman that night, you're welcome :bigsmile:

    The version of "Gym Idiot" I encounter is when trying to job on the track. Wanna walk 3-4 wide & block both the WALKING and JOGGING lane? At least listen for the joggers. There is a thick white line dividing, with WALKING stenciled on one side and JOGGING stenciled on the other side every quarter-lap.

    The other is the one in the weight room giving me unsolicited advice when he has no idea what the goal of my workout is. Might be the smartest one in there but without knowing my goals he can't properly advise me.

    Believe me there is a difference between being unfamiliar with the equipment and abusing it.

    Most people are completely open to helping someone out.

    I NEVER go to the gym because I am an idiot when it comes to working out. I have no idea what most of the machines/weights in there do or how to use them. The only machines I could properly use would be the treadmill and the bikes, and I am pretty sure I would screw that up too. That is why I exercise in the comfort of my own home.... and its cheaper.

    Massive upper body and twig legs.

    Lift 3 reps of a ridiculous weight with the worst form known to man.

    Complain about never being able to gain muscle and eat once per day.

    Hours on the treadmill then straight to KFC

    The guys that moan and scream on every rep. Grunting a little struggling out your last rep is different.

    Guys who don't wear a towel and strut around the locker room. I have one of those too, I don't really need to see your unimpressive meat sword.

    People who do 3-5 minutes on a cardio machine and then mill about the gym.

    Guys using their hip and back to curl 45lbs when they could maybe do 30 with good form

    I'm with you on this. This is definitely unattractive in a guy.

    Funny thing that is the manager from my gym... he does all of those things AND he leaves his stuff all over like three benches at a time.

    Ohhh I HATE the girls who come to the gym looking like they are at a damn night club, Hair all curled and makeup on, tiny little tanktop with no sportsbra. I go to the gym to work my *kitten* off and expect to look like crap doing so

    Massive upper body and twig legs. Genetics may play a role in this, even when I was squatting and dead lifting double my weight for reps I still had chicken legs (thin but ripped), fortunately my upper body isn't massive, just bigger than the lower.

    Complain about never being able to gain muscle and eat once per day. What is wrong with eating once a day? As long as you hit your macros meal timing is irrelevant for losing or gaining weight.

    Hours on the treadmill then straight to KFC. Nothing wrong here if it fits their macros for the day.
