    It's not a squat if you don't break parallel!

    Girls who look like they had a professional make-up artist do their make-up prior to their gym session. I actually see them apply make-up in the locker room. Don't even break a sweat, come to gym to take a selfie.

    It's cute that you have a boytoy, but could you two maybe go make out in the corner of some dimly-lit hallway (or, *gasp* your dorm!!) instead of making goo-goo eyes at each other on the only weight bench? YOU'RE IN MY WAY.

    If you put your weights on the floor and walk out of the room, not only am I going to take them and use them, but I am going to think you are a complete twit when you come back in a minute or two later and whine that I took them. I don't care that your bf called. But kudos on going out to use the phone.

    Thank you for helping me with my form.

    1. To the pretty blonde with the amazing hair... that she keeps fiddling with: Yes, your hair looks fine.
    2. To the cardio bunnies that spend hours and hours on the dreadmill: If you have to hold on so you don't fall off, the incline is too much for you
    3. To that guy I see every day with the massive chest and arms...: Great work. But about the chicken legs... DONT SKIP LEG DAY... again.

    That is all. for today.

    2) Heavy weight lifting with minimal nutrition guy. You work out like an animal, with your big weight belt strapped on tightly. You are very dedicated, I see you in the gym almost every time I’m here, grunting away. But you never seem to look any different. You are in your late 20s-early 30s and are in the prime of your life. You have big arms, a big barrel chest, a pot belly, and often tiny legs (because who wastes time on legs when you can work in another bench day?). I’m thinking that once you walk out of the gym, you don’t invest any effort into fueling your body properly, beyond that big protein shake. Have you considered logging your diet? If you are going to invest all of these hours in the gym, maybe you should consider nailing down your diet and seeing more progress? (There are also these machines and exercises that provide cardio benefits that you haven’t seemed to notice, but that is a discussion for another day...)

    I used to work in a grocery store across the street from a gym. The swoll guys would come in shopping and I would check out their carts. Nothing but processed crap. All frozen meals or.Hamburger Helper type things. All I could think of was "Doesn't that all just negate what you did at the gym?" They were clearly muscular guys but muscularly fat or fatly muscular if that makes any sense. Their t!ts were nearly as big as mine.

    I eat all frozen meals and Hamburger helper. It negates nothing. it builds muscle and it's convenient.

    Guy doing chest fly's in the tricep extension pulley using two cables. Hey bro, see those FOUR dedicated chest fly cable machines. Go use them. I need to train arms. While you're at it, ditch the cable flies, they clearly arent working.

    The only thing that really pisses me off is guys walking right in front of me then stopping and doing a set right in front of the mirror.

    or guys traveling in bro packs of four.

    Or guys doing quarter squats and looking at my squat bar with a smug look like "I'm doing more weight than you". No, no you are not.

    just kidding, many things piss me off the gym. I am an angry, angry gym rat. The littlest things put me on edge

    To the lady texting/FB while doing leg curls machine. If you are able to hold your phone, concentrate on a message, and do leg curls at the same time, you should consider going a little heavier.

    To the friend of the aforementioned leg curl lady. Please pay attention to your form. You are chatting it up with your 10lb weights, and yes, you look cute, but please don't throw your back out!

    Dear person who is waiting for 10 minutes to get that parking spot upfront, holding up the flow of traffic. You are at the gym....nuff said.

    The lady that brings her 4 year old to a Zumba class packed with 50+ people. Stop! That poor baby is going to get trampled one of these days. The gym staff shouldn't have to tell you every week to take him to child watch.

    Guilty, but why should you care? I hit it hard every day.

    I go to the gym at my Alma Mater... Therefore it's jam packed with frat boy wannabes and girls whose shorts barely cover thier *kitten*.
    First of all... Muscles do not look like that in a "resting position" stop flexing while you walk. We get it Papa Bird, you've got a big chest!
    Second of all... WORK OUT. I can't tell you how many people stand around and talk for the entire time I'm there.

    Wow, I've been thinking about re-joining a gym so I can lift heavier, but after reading these think I'll stay home and workout with the dog.

    I second this. Especially during squats and deadlifts. In fact, I snort ammonia, scream, slap myself in the face, cuss, throw chalk everywhere and turn Hatebreed up to insane levels of volume while doing squats and deadlifts so if all y'all heard was a grunt then consider yourselves lucky. I do train in my garage though lol.
