    Brought your handbag into the weights room.
    Full face of makeup.
    1 set, update your facebook status on your iphone, next machine.

    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

    LOL...that was hilarious! Very true! I just shake my head and mind my own business but I often wonder do they "freshen up" the make up just to come to the gym?

    Those who do a couple of reps on a machine & then SIT there for another 5-20 minutes "resting" (Husband- I'm looking at you!!!) Just do it already!

    Unless you're literally a complete moron, no matter what your gym etiquette is, you're eventually gonna pissoff/annoy someone with the way you workout. I frankly don't give a fck. As long as I'm doing what I need to be doing, and not messing around. For god's sake, some people get mad if you read on a machine. Really?

    My buddy is a gym idiot. He is pretty big and refuses to do any cardio. Only weights. He also wants to do the Tough Mudder this year...with 0 minutes of cardio under his belt. Good luck, my friend.

    Not only the girls with their hair all curled and make up on, the ones who do one set of 20 curls using 5 pounds then parks on the bench texting for 10 minutes. If you come to be eye candy go sit in the corner and do that, I actually use that bench for my workouts.

    Chicks with huge earrings and makeup on going at a glacial pace on the elliptical. If you leave the gym looking cute, then you didnt work hard enough!
    Also the ones with their huge fake tits hanging out, that I'm just counting the seconds for a nipple to play peek-a-boo. I'm all about a good rack, but please give them some support at the gym!

    Are you preventing others from using said machine by pausing to read?

    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
    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.

    I'll rephrase...

    [Massive upper body and twig legs.] Works upper body and skips legs consistently

    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.] - Complains about never being able to gain muscle and eats about 1200 calories a day.

    [Hours on the treadmill then straight to KFC] - People who complain they never lose weight, spend hours on the treadmill and have no idea what they eat.

    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.

    This and going the wrong way on the track, when it is clearly stated which way you should be going. The track at my gym has it so the walkers go one way and joggers go the opposite. If you accidently miss the marking and there is someone on the track before you and are using the lane you are in going the opposite direction.

    Hating on people who try to job on the track? Everybody's gotta make money somehow.

    Um, I read my kindle while doing a stationary bike. I was pregnant, and didn't want to over do it.

    lol, typo on my part. I meant when I jog and find the track blocked with people walking 3-4 wide. At least pay attention for others if you want to walk beside people.

    I'm guilty of the makeup thing - but I go to the gym right after work, and I wear makeup to work. Weekend gym seshes = clean face.

    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:

    lmao

    :heart: Swoon! :heart:

    I haven't witnessed any real idiots, but I don't know how the guy squatting with six inches of hairy buttcrack exposed didn't feel a draft. Dude... longer shirt or higher pants. Maybe both. Maybe a onesie.
