I was going them (1 min sets) and then some guy on two separate occasions started going "air" jump rope or jumping jacks.
I know the feeling. not in a tight shirt though. It get to the point where people will notice the workout. In my experience. I have been jump roping for over a year.
also that 315 deadlift. My friend would say it is his warm up but I have easily seeing him deadlift
Like I can almost double overhead thumbless grip deadlift 315. Almost there.
You can almost do what with 315?0 -

It was dead day and I worked up to 315lbs. The bar was sitting there loaded up and I was just resting. One guy comes over (didn't know I was on it), reaches down and grabs the bar and gives it a tiny jerk. Then decides maybe he shouldn't be trying to lift it. haha. I was like, "dude, what are you doing and why are you touching my setup??" Just had to chuckle.
Hidden brag post?
HA.
No.
I can do 305. so for a man 315- isn't much- more like- "damn son- should get your weight up"

Yeah, I'm thinking he means overhand because overhead is called a press or snatch. Only real big Oly lifters do 315 snatches!0 -

Had an old guy - who I have never seen there before, get on the one directly beside me. Yep, caught him looking down my tank top anytime I bent over the handlebars on the bike. Magically as soon as I was done, he was done and got on a treadmill beside a young cute girl...
Creep-a-thon. Dang
Yes. Very much so.0 -
Recently made an older man lose his footing on the treadmill when I bent over to stretch. That was cute. Other than that, the resolutionists are slowly dwindling at my gym.
I chuckle when I see this one girl on the elliptical and talking on her phone at the same time... At a very low speed.0 -
I see people reading etc... while on the cardio machines. I don't see a problem with that. Going slow isn't that bad. It just increases the time to burn xx calories. In fact, I wish the wife would watch her cooking competition shows while at the gym vs just sitting at home.
Reading/Watching TV is one thing. But taking up a machine while you chat on the phone, when some are waiting, and some are trying to concentrate on their workout without hearing what drama is going on in the lives of others... That's what frustrates me.0 -
I don't know why it was driving me nuts, but the other day, there were two teenage boys with their ripped up "muscle" shirts doing bench press in the squat rack. We have 1 squat rack and 2 bench presses. NO ONE was on either of the bench presses, but they insisted on using the 1 squat rack.
Luckily I was just warming up and they had moved on by the time I was ready to get going.
I really advocate for schools to start teaching Common Sense and Common Courtesy in the class rooms and take away Entitlement 101, you deserve it!

I go to the gym at 5:00 A.M.. Everyday the same 5 people are there. January 5th, about 5 newbs showed up. They came in for a few days the first week. A couple days the next week and BAM they're gone!0

Is double overhand a "thing"? Like something someone trains on purpose? I can see maybe switch the mixed over/under hands to the other side for balance?
If you are an Olympic lifter you will definitely train with that grip but with a hook grip since it's too hard to lift heavy otherwise.0 -
Teens will be teens. But man 6-8 of them can tie up a bench for the entire night. 1 of them actually lifts, 3 of them try to lift what the other dude did and fails and the rest of them talk about the weight that the 1st guy lifted and the 3 that failed.
Oh, and not to mention that they move the bar down 3" then panic and their spotter deadlifts it up and all of a sudden they brag that they are doing 3 plates. *roll eyes*0 -
There is this late 40's chick who comes and acts like such a stereotypical teenage girl it drives me insane she spent literally 20 mins taking selfies but had all of her crap on an elliptical so noone else could use it and the next day was talk screaming on her cell phone on the treadmill.
She seems really really sweet though just doesn't know gym ettiquette yet i'm sure.0 -
