People who have figured out exactly how they can fit a Double Down into their day? Or cardio bunnies willing to sweat 600 calories out?
That stuff is gross and I don't think it's even real food. I don't see how those fatty maybe not even foods could help you do a double down or sweat out 600 calories? Not to mention, have you see what it does almost immediately to your blood, so gross.
What does it do to our blood? And I've never had a double down
Hight fat food straight to your bloodstream
Got any that isn't a blog?
Also, that video doesn't even support your argument. Sorry.
...There is a second video, which was the one I was looking for, which the doctor talks about this yellowy liquid coming from his veins before getting his blood. Turned out he had just eaten a high fat lunch at the local fast food place.....
Sorry, but this is the most idiotic post in this thread. Not even close.
The only thing in your veins is blood. It is pretty much evenly mixed throughout your body. There is no chance that when drawing blood you would get a "yellowy liquid" from your vein. Zero chance. You will get blood. It isn't like looking at the dipstick in a car where you can stick a needle in your vein and pull it out to see how far up on the needle the "yellowy liquid" goes.

Tell me, are you a phlebotomist?
Oh, and PS, blood is not all that is in your veins, there is plac and arteries clogged by garbage diets.
so you are saying that one 600 calorie meal from KFC is a "garbage diet"....or are you making a general statement based on assumptions that no one knows?
Nope, I'm saying high fat fast foods are garbage, but most people who eat those things don't just stop there, they eat like that at home as well. So, garbage diets. Yes, I know there are exceptions to everything, but those foods are still high in fat and grease and can do a number on your digestive tract. If you're low on energy, grab some fruit, want a meal, have a huge salad.
so the answer is that you are making assumptions based on what you think people are consuming.
thanks for clarifying that.
I love how you assume to know what the overall diet of every fast food eater is. That is a neat trick, and you will have to teach me how to do it someday.
Nope, wrong yet again. There are key words that you seem to love to ignore, words like MOST, and the line where I said there were exceptions to this. So, you can keep trying to put words in my mouth, but if you look at the screen you would see these things, it seems like you have ADD.
yea, it is pretty clear that you made a bunch of assumptions about people who eat fast food and then tired to extrapolate that to this thread where someone ate one meal from KFC. Unless, you have intimate knowledge of the diet of the instructor that the person is referring to...??
and just because you used the qualifier "most" does not negate that you are making assumptions...
I'm not making a bunch of assumptions about people who eat fast food! I was passing judgement on the FOOD ITSELF, I don't care what people eat, all I did was say that the food that was listed is gross to me. The rest of the conversation is mostly people being jerks just to be, trolling me, and/or bullying me. I answer your questions to the best of my ability, try to provide resources, and yet y'all say I'm wrong and say I'm doing all these things, etc. Get off it, I'm words on a screen, and you can put intent, malice, and whatever you want in there, but it doesn't make it true.
I am just going to put what you said here..
"Nope, I'm saying high fat fast foods are garbage, but most people who eat those things don't just stop there, they eat like that at home as well. So, garbage diets..."
that is a pretty broad assumption that you made, which is basically that people who eat a high fat, fast food diet are "garbage dieters"...
For those interested in the full text of what I said. "Nope, I'm saying high fat fast foods are garbage, but most people who eat those things don't just stop there, they eat like that at home as well. So, garbage diets. Yes, I know there are exceptions to everything, but those foods are still high in fat and grease and can do a number on your digestive tract. If you're low on energy, grab some fruit, want a meal, have a huge salad."
It's not an assumption, it's a statistic, look it up and see where a high fat diet through fast food consumption will lead you, even if you only eat there once a week.
just so you know..
... after a quote implies that there is more after the dots...So by doing that I was indicating that there was additional info afterwards. If I would of just put a singular period then that would of inferred it was the end of the quote.
I just took the relevant sentence where you referred back to high fat fast food folks as "garbage dieters"
I know what it means when ... begins or follows a quote, however, I wanted to make sure anyone reading knew what I had actually said, and that I DID NOT make assumptions and if you eat fast food you are eating garbage. I THINK fast food is gross, and that was all I was trying to say, but now people are putting words in my mouth, doing only partial quotes to make me look like I'm coming down on people who eat fast food. AS I said previously, I don't care what people eat, I think fast food is disgusting and gross and garbage and bad for your health even in small quantities.
didn't you just do what you said you did not do??????????????????????
No I didn't, once more I'm talking about the food and not the people consuming it. AGAIN this is just my opinion in regards to it being gross, disgusting, garbage, that is not healthy and bad for your body. I won't be eating it and that is why. How I feel about something applies to me and me alone, I don't care if you weigh 60 lbs and eat 20 chicken nuggets everyday, or your 400 lbs eating a whopper, I DON'T CARE. However, my opinion is that it's garbage, so my opinion is you're eating garbage if you are eating fast food, that's nothing against the person.
Can we please see the research of how detrimental fast food is even if it's just 1 time per week?
That would require it to exist, bro.-2 -

The only time i get mad is when people "hold" equipment that others are waiting to use and they aren't actually using it.
I.E. they set their bag on the machine and walked away, they aren't performing any exercise and are chatting, they are texting/surfing the web on their phone. In these scenarios i just kindly ask them if i can jump in really quick.
Thank you and add to this people who leave their bags, clothes, personal belonings all over the lockers as if its their private dressing room...lack of consideration for others is a big pet peeve of mine as well.

You flagged everyone who disagreed with you and then you said the one flagworthy thing in this argument. Amazing.
Stop using disabilities and disorders as insults.
Oh, I FLAGGED everyone did I? How did you come to that conclusion. That wasn't an insult, I have ADHD and my brother has ADD and ODD, it was an honest observation and I'm pretty sure the mods will see that, if they even care enough to look.
Oh, PS where have I even used a disabilities or disorder as insults. That would be rather judgmental and hypocritical of me if I did.0 -
All I'm seeing is someone going around flagging valid comments. Whoever is doing it probably doesn't know your username get's sent to the moderators along with the post that you have flagged..
If the moderators think it was a waste of their time they come back at you. In short it backfires.
Don't do it for the sake of your id. You still have time to un-flag the comments.

Yup..I've noticed people have been flagging my comments too.
I think they are upset at the comment and are flagging the comment per say as though to suggest they aren't agreeing.
But that's not what the flag system is meant for. I have a feeling they aren't aware what goes on behind the scenes.
Then say something to someone and maybe it will stop.
Wait what?
Are you asking me why I mentioned about flagging?
I'm not following why you quoted me.
What I was saying was that if you're noticing all the frivolous flagging going on then point it out to a moderator. We have people that give out good advice been flagged for no reason. Members need to be shown that they can't flag without actual abuse taking place.
I gotcha.
Sorry I was bit confused before.
Yes. I can't agree more. None of the comments in this thread that have been flagged so far need a abuse or whatever flag.

Pet peeves... Long list coming at you.
Watching people not squat to parallel.
A group of people dead lifting with terrible form (I've seen 3 people all lift with backs like a camel)
People who put on a belt to lift just the bar.
The inevitable group of guys that gather around one incline bench hogging about half a dozen pairs of dumbbells (my gym only has like 2 sets of 20# and 30# for some reason).
People to proud to ask someone to spot them when they clearly need a spotter.
People who try power lifting with metal plates instead of rubber.
Hexagonal plates.
The lack of girls who lift.
Dudebros drinking energy drinks while lifting.
***holes who try taking your bench when you set your stuff down on it, and walk away to get a paper towel to wipe it down.
People who leave their trash lying around (McDonalds cups, really?!)
People lifting with jeans on (how is that comfortable at all?)
The fact that my gym only has 2 squat racks and a power rack.
Personal trainers that hassle you to get a trainer.
And finally:
Curling in the squat rack.
Why hexagonal plates? I like them on my deadlift, cuz then my bar doesn't roll away crooked...0 -

Fine, whatever, yes that's exactly what I'm saying. Every living breathing person on the hideous plant have garbage diet, that's all they eat all day every day, garbage garbage garbage. Luckily there is always enough to go around in this consumer driven country, just look at the walk ways and the roads, just littered with garbage and garbage and garbage.0 -

You are completely right about flags being abused but it's important that people also know that having 'flags' against you has zero consequences to yourself unless a moderator reviews it and considers it to be abuse or a violation of community guidelines.
The only thing that we pay attention to with regards to member history are 'warnings', 'abuse reports' and notes between moderators (if we've messaged you, had to take any other action other than warnings).
Unnecessary flagging does take up valuable time that we could otherwise be spending looking through reports of guideline violations and addressing other important issues so it is severely frowned upon for hopefully obvious reasons.
Just to confirm though, having flags 'against' you will have absolutely no consequences to the person flagged, we simply review the reports and dismiss any that don't fall under the category they have been flagged for. Although you keep the number of flags made against you, the 'abuse' flags are at no point held against you and shouldn't be worried about!
Have an awesome day/evening/night!

I laugh to myself a bit every time I see a comment about wiping down equipment. I obviously do it, but it makes me think of days past in a gym. I've been going to a school gym or public gym for 40+ years. Most of the places I went to early on didn't have air conditioning other than a large cattle fan to move the hot air around on a 90+ degree day. Wiping up equipment was not done. Amazingly never heard of anyone getting sick from anything in their gym.0

I've heard of a number of people geting MRSA, but I would imagine it's more of a problem since people have started wiping down equipment. It's prevalent due to over use of sanitizes and antibiotics. Although I still do wipe down the equipment (don't want evil glares at the gym).0 -

1. At 5 AM, People slamming their big weights on the ground when they are through, making a really loud bang. I am inevitably always trying to do something on one foot at the time and it throws off my balance!
2. People not wearing proper workout attire, ie treadmill in jeans and sandles. My gym has dress code, but I see it on occasion.
3. General body odor from BO, cologne, smoking, etc.
Dropping weights bothers you? Well, you could go to Planet Fitness. They don't let you do that there.
Why should what anyone else wears bother you?
Haha, well walking on a treadmill in sandles is not very safe, that's the main reason, as a fashion choice, I couldn't care less. I am sure some people are probably bothered by my 80's high waisted thong leotards...

If you're like me and drink an insane amount of water before, during and after workouts (are you guys drinking enough water?) then you might have to pause and go potty during a workout. Not a crime. And despite "planning," if you gotta go you gotta go. I've never run into a problem at my apartment gym with getting my treadmill jacked while I went tinkle
I'm always drinking water on the treadmill. None of our cardio machine have a pause function

All I'm seeing is someone going around flagging valid comments. Whoever is doing it probably doesn't know your username get's sent to the moderators along with the post that you have flagged..
If the moderators think it was a waste of their time they come back at you. In short it backfires.
Don't do it for the sake of your id. You still have time to un-flag the comments.
I don't think some people understand what the flags are for, even though it has been explained multiple times.0 -

People who have figured out exactly how they can fit a Double Down into their day? Or cardio bunnies willing to sweat 600 calories out?
That stuff is gross and I don't think it's even real food. I don't see how those fatty maybe not even foods could help you do a double down or sweat out 600 calories? Not to mention, have you see what it does almost immediately to your blood, so gross.
What does it do to our blood? And I've never had a double down
Hight fat food straight to your bloodstream
Got any that isn't a blog?
Also, that video doesn't even support your argument. Sorry.
...There is a second video, which was the one I was looking for, which the doctor talks about this yellowy liquid coming from his veins before getting his blood. Turned out he had just eaten a high fat lunch at the local fast food place.....
Sorry, but this is the most idiotic post in this thread. Not even close.
The only thing in your veins is blood. It is pretty much evenly mixed throughout your body. There is no chance that when drawing blood you would get a "yellowy liquid" from your vein. Zero chance. You will get blood. It isn't like looking at the dipstick in a car where you can stick a needle in your vein and pull it out to see how far up on the needle the "yellowy liquid" goes.

Tell me, are you a phlebotomist?
Oh, and PS, blood is not all that is in your veins, there is plac and arteries clogged by garbage diets.
so you are saying that one 600 calorie meal from KFC is a "garbage diet"....or are you making a general statement based on assumptions that no one knows?
Nope, I'm saying high fat fast foods are garbage, but most people who eat those things don't just stop there, they eat like that at home as well. So, garbage diets. Yes, I know there are exceptions to everything, but those foods are still high in fat and grease and can do a number on your digestive tract. If you're low on energy, grab some fruit, want a meal, have a huge salad.
so the answer is that you are making assumptions based on what you think people are consuming.
thanks for clarifying that.
I love how you assume to know what the overall diet of every fast food eater is. That is a neat trick, and you will have to teach me how to do it someday.
Nope, wrong yet again. There are key words that you seem to love to ignore, words like MOST, and the line where I said there were exceptions to this. So, you can keep trying to put words in my mouth, but if you look at the screen you would see these things, it seems like you have ADD.
yea, it is pretty clear that you made a bunch of assumptions about people who eat fast food and then tired to extrapolate that to this thread where someone ate one meal from KFC. Unless, you have intimate knowledge of the diet of the instructor that the person is referring to...??
and just because you used the qualifier "most" does not negate that you are making assumptions...
I'm not making a bunch of assumptions about people who eat fast food! I was passing judgement on the FOOD ITSELF, I don't care what people eat, all I did was say that the food that was listed is gross to me. The rest of the conversation is mostly people being jerks just to be, trolling me, and/or bullying me. I answer your questions to the best of my ability, try to provide resources, and yet y'all say I'm wrong and say I'm doing all these things, etc. Get off it, I'm words on a screen, and you can put intent, malice, and whatever you want in there, but it doesn't make it true.
I am just going to put what you said here..
"Nope, I'm saying high fat fast foods are garbage, but most people who eat those things don't just stop there, they eat like that at home as well. So, garbage diets..."
that is a pretty broad assumption that you made, which is basically that people who eat a high fat, fast food diet are "garbage dieters"...
For those interested in the full text of what I said. "Nope, I'm saying high fat fast foods are garbage, but most people who eat those things don't just stop there, they eat like that at home as well. So, garbage diets. Yes, I know there are exceptions to everything, but those foods are still high in fat and grease and can do a number on your digestive tract. If you're low on energy, grab some fruit, want a meal, have a huge salad."
It's not an assumption, it's a statistic, look it up and see where a high fat diet through fast food consumption will lead you, even if you only eat there once a week.
just so you know..
... after a quote implies that there is more after the dots...So by doing that I was indicating that there was additional info afterwards. If I would of just put a singular period then that would of inferred it was the end of the quote.
I just took the relevant sentence where you referred back to high fat fast food folks as "garbage dieters"
I know what it means when ... begins or follows a quote, however, I wanted to make sure anyone reading knew what I had actually said, and that I DID NOT make assumptions and if you eat fast food you are eating garbage. I THINK fast food is gross, and that was all I was trying to say, but now people are putting words in my mouth, doing only partial quotes to make me look like I'm coming down on people who eat fast food. AS I said previously, I don't care what people eat, I think fast food is disgusting and gross and garbage and bad for your health even in small quantities.
didn't you just do what you said you did not do??????????????????????
No I didn't, once more I'm talking about the food and not the people consuming it. AGAIN this is just my opinion in regards to it being gross, disgusting, garbage, that is not healthy and bad for your body. I won't be eating it and that is why. How I feel about something applies to me and me alone, I don't care if you weigh 60 lbs and eat 20 chicken nuggets everyday, or your 400 lbs eating a whopper, I DON'T CARE. However, my opinion is that it's garbage, so my opinion is you're eating garbage if you are eating fast food, that's nothing against the person.
but in your opinion that person is eating garbage and their diet would be garbage, yes?
so you have just passed a value judgment on millions of people who eat fast food occasionally....
Fine, whatever, yes that's exactly what I'm saying. Every living breathing person on the hideous plant have garbage diet, that's all they eat all day every day, garbage garbage garbage. Luckily there is always enough to go around in this consumer driven country, just look at the walk ways and the roads, just littered with garbage and garbage and garbage.0 -

Other than that, I don't really give a damn what other people do in the gym or what they wear....I'm more worried about myself. And no I'm not really antisocial, an introvert or shy; I'm actually an ambivert, I'm just really concentrated in my workout and don't have time to worry about petty things.
You shouldn't be saving the spot to begin with. If you aren't using it, it is not yours.
LOL people do it all the time and I don't complain...so you're telling me if I gotta use the bathroom and I'll be back in two minutes and I'm still not done with my exercise, I should relinquish my spot over to someone?.....LOL gtfo. That would be fine if I was just texting and someone wanted to get in on a workout with me but if I gotta use the bathroom and I'm not done with my exercise....nope.
Yes, I am telling you that. Other people need to finish their workouts too. Some of us are in a hurry. Your time is not any more valuable than someone else's.
Thanks for making the rest of us pick up your dirty towel when we need to use the space that you are hold up. If you were in my gym, you would come back to find your water bottle and towel in the garbage. I'd probably turn you in to the front desk too as any kind of supersetting is against the rules if anyone is waiting.azulvioleta6 wrote: »BlackScorpio91 wrote: »azulvioleta6 wrote: »BlackScorpio91 wrote: »My pet peeves at the gym are people who ask me if I'm using a bench or spot I stopped using like 5-10 minutes ago even though they clearly saw me move to a new spot (though they probably might be thinking I'm doing interval training), people who try to talk to me when I'm on the treadmill, people who try to talk to me for unnecessary long periods of time (unless they're a friend or someone I find interesting, that's rare though), people who get in my way of me looking at the mirror to see if I'm doing a particular exercise right and people who try to take my spot even when there is my bottle AND a towel on the machine or bench to indicate to people that I'm still using it.

How about nope...I'll do what I want as other people have did the same thing I have (putting their stuff on a machine as an indicator of them still using it) and I don't complain and cry about it. If you want to use the machine I'm on, just ask and I'll gladly let you use it along with me. Don't be rude and touch my stuff if you're not allowed to. Sorry but nope. Go to Planet Fitness then (which I don't go to btw judging by your previous comment.....LOL). Not my problem. Maybe I'm just too hardcore for people like you as it seems like older people just *kitten* about this issue the most.
I'm not old (hey thanks!) and I don't go to Planet Fitness. I go to an upscale private gym where supersetting is not allowed because it is rude and inefficient.
You can't hold your spot. Use it or lose it. It's just basic manners.
I said you were OLDER, not old. Obviously if I'm 23 and you're in your late 30s..that means you're older and why are you bringing up that old topic? Who cares, I'm still gonna do what I want ok? If you don't like it too bad as I don't go to the same gym as you
Sure, because everything in the world exists as it relates to you!
I haven't bothered to look at this thread in a couple of days...hence not commenting until just now.
No, being a narcissistic *kitten* is never OK. Guys like you are the reason why more women don't lift--we don't want to deal with the place saving, the lack of manners, the space-hogging and the awful attitudes.
I've been using weights since I was a teenager and I am a big woman who can lift more than a lot of men, so it doesn't slow me down much...but I understand why a lot of women avoid that scene completely.
You'd put me off lifting more than the guy you're quoting.
Tossing my stuff in a trash can because I have to pee mid-workout is more obnoxious than the place-sacing, space-hogging, etc. And talk about awful attitudes, have you looked in a mirror?
Exactly!. She has alot of audacity to do that as SHE'S the one that will be kicked out if she did something so rude and idiotic. Maybe at her gym, it's not allowed but at the Y where I go to...people do it ALL the time. Apparently she doesn't seem to understand that.

So you can't tell if you have a need to use the bathroom before you start what is most likely no more that a 10 minute session on a bench, machine, etc or wait 10 minutes till you finish with it?
Apparently not, lol . This person wants to make damn sure no one is on his machine when he is ready to use it. lmao Some people have no etiquette. Luckily people don't act like this at my gym.0
