D-Bags at the gym

Does the guy with the fanny sack around his big belly in a skin tight phil collins concert t-shirt strutting around like he's david beckham count as d-baggy enough?

I thought the 'gas masks' were to simulate high altitude. For people that train in low altitudes but have to perform in high altitudes, there is a benefit. I could be wrong, but that's the idea. I don't think if it as douche-ie. I always think they're training for something. The ones in my gym are always too badass to laugh at. They look like they might cut you.

it works differently then actual high altitude training though, with altitude training you have to deal with low air pressure and lower oxygen levels, the mask just provides resistance to your breathing, like inhaling through a straw. it works your diaphragm but nothing else

I wish I could record the d-bags at my gym. I don't have a problem with people wearing tank tops or tattoos but I do have a problem with the aforementioned nipple revealing string bikini esq tank tops. I had originally judged people that wore tank tops with tattoos not because of how they acted but by whether or not I was intimidated / jealous of how they looked. Now that I am starting to realize that most of those guys are there for the same reason as me, I could care less....except when they hog benches and prevent me from doing my workout.

I actually thought one guy was a huge dbag just because he wore a tank top and looked at himself in the mirror (like checking himself out) I actually wound up talking to him one day and realized he was actually a pretty cool guy. You shouldn't let appearance bother you unless they're actually BEING a d-bag and it affects your workout, otherwise ignore em.

I've got one guy that I've seen walk in front of others in between their sets and use the machine without asking....they were wearing a tank top, but the tank top didn't make them a douche.....the cutting in front thing did.

There's also these other guys that wear their backwards baseball hats with the stickers still on and also wear tank tops.I think wearing their hats that way showcases their overly cocky attitude walking around the gym but the thing that makes them dbags is the fact that they hog the dumbbells / horde them around , talk on their cellphones loudly, and pay no attention to where they are going / what they are doing and have seen them bump into other people without so much as an apology

I enjoy wearing my light sweatshirt when I workout, and sometimes I'll put my hood up because I don't like when sweat pours down the back of my neck (not to mention I don't like drenching the benches with my soaked shirt). Some people would say I look like a douche, but I could care less, because I just do my own thing and enjoy my workout without bothering anyone else.

This closely resembles something a douche bag would say, if one could actually talk. :laugh:

lol confusion level 10

Muscle confusion, undoubtedly.

is that like curling in the squat rack with a medicine ball?

Tattoos....Check
Tank top....Check, when its hot
Beanie....Check, when its cold
Headphones.....Check
On my phone....Check, use it to log sets and as a rest timer
Beard...Nope

I workout in my garage though, so I guess this prevents me from being classified as a d-bag. Nuts.

I don't normally workout at a gym, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to do a trial PT offer at a local high end gym and actually saw the guy the OP describes, only the beard was expertly coiffed. Decided working out from home is best.

I definitely made a comment to some dude at the gym yesterday that was not wiping off the machines. Yuck!
