D-Bags at the gym
Is it just me or is there a recent immergence of douche bags at the gym? I'm talking about the dudes in tank tops/cut up shirts wearing beanies, covered in tats, long nasty beard, on their phones after every rep and listening to beats headphones. Typically these guys can be found only doing bicep curls or working the heavy ropes like an MMA fighter. I'm all for fitness but it's like they're gremlins and someone poured water on them.

Tank tops. Yea, Even shirtless because we workout in team gym.
All that? No.0 -
I own a pair of beats and do wear tank tops from time to time but this is way different.0

Biggest question is... do they get in your way while you're lifting??
if yes- then they are D-bags.
If no- they are just people- and who the fkc cares.0 -
do they curl in the squat rack?0
-
yes...get off your phone and finish your set0

I have tattoos, and am sitting at the gym in between sets typing this in a tank top... I keep my beard trimmed though :-P0

What's wrong with ink and tank tops?0

i think he's talking more the shirts that have had the sleeves cut off to the degree where half the time they dont even cover nipples. those make me want to punch babiesWhat's wrong with ink and tank tops?
ink is just part of the profile i guess0 -

1 minute rest between sets. I'll use my phone, never needed your permission.
You can ask to work in. Or keep whining on the internet. Either way, your opinion means little.
Brett... yup ! Agree..... noway:0 -

Don't appreciate the sweeping generalization against those of us with ink in tank tops.
Thankfully I lift at home so I dont have to deal with the OP.0 -

Don't you know cool guys do that.0 -
the only people I have an issue with at the gym are the ones who stand around in a group and keep walking back and forth less than a foot from my barbell when I'm trying to do rows or dead lifts. I will be dropping the weight on their feet one of these days and laughing.0

I'm on my phone between every set because I use the Stronglifts 5x5 app and it's counting the time in between sets for me. Am I a D-Bag? Also, I totally hog the squat rack, but to be fair I'm usually there late at night and no own else is.
Any, there are D-bags everywhere, have fun watching and mentally making fun of them. I mean....mind your own business? I'm pretty sure that's the socially acceptable thing to do....
Unless they are actively obstructing your workout, in which case I'm pretty sure it's socially acceptable to throatpunch them.0 -
In the middle of the summer I rock a tank top and short shorts. Come at me, bro.0

Do it on "accident"0 -

mostly forwards- can't squat or bench with it backwards- and plus it helps keep me focused like horse blinders....
it only SORT of works- but it's an effort. lol0 -
I keep track of my sets and reps on my phone. Being on my phone while I rest between sets doesn't matter. I'd just be sitting there anyway.
I wear tank tops. Sometimes cut off tees.
I wear beanies.
No beard.
Am I a douche?
I guess because I know one when I see one, and because I don't relate to them, I guess I'm not.
In my gym, the douches are the guys that wear full sweats with their hoodies on their head through their whole workout so you can't see their face. They throw plates, Not set, not drop, Throw plates on the floor because they are so badass, they can do that, I guess. They are the douche bags that DL 5 plates on each side of the bar, and then walk away without re-racking.
I don't know. Most of the guys in my gym are nice, and there are only a few douches. Even the big guys, with beanies and tanks are awesome dudes. the douches are more in their behavior rather than how they dress.
Have you started seeing the guys with the exercise gas masks on? That is the douchiest thing I have ever seen!0 -
I could care less about what they look like as long as:
1. I can't hear their music over the sound of my own. :mad:
2. They stink so bad, you have to leave the room. :grumble:
3. They don't clean their equipment, leaving it for someone else to do. :explode:
Other than that, I'm good!

Meh.....Rude people with questionable fashion sense are everywhere. I just ignore them and move along. If they are blocking what I need I will just use something else until they move.
The ones that I hate are the ones that freaking marinate in Axe body spray.
