Gym Pet Peeves

[Hedley Lamarr]

I tried gloves once in HS....never again, hated the feel of them. Closest I get to a glove is straps

I watched a gal take the safety bars off the power rack, grabbed a bench and set it inside the rack and then started doing DB flys. WTF!!!

People who drive to the gym to walk on the treadmill.

Yeah, that's not cool at all! We HAVE to do our barbell benching inside the power rack at the gym I go to as it's the only option, but I don't think I could stay quiet if I seen someone do that in front of me!

Our gym is the same way. Luckily we have a couple racks and the other one was available when she done this.

I will deadlift inside the rack every once in awhile. It allows me to spread my stance out wider and place my feet against the bottom brace on the rack to keep them from slipping. I only do this when I want to try for greater depth in my deads. This is the only time I will remove the safety bars from the rack. I figured she was going to maybe do something along those lines when she removed them...Nope, she grabbed a bench and done some flys.

I only do wrist curls in the power rack

Why do guys feel the need to carry their bag around on the gym floor, and take up a bench they're not using with it? There's a locker room for a reason.

Cause they need a place to stash all their roids

People that carry around gallon jugs.

So I got back into the gym today after about a couple months off.

Ran into "grunts way to loud" guy. Bout made me want to turn around a walk out. I had my ear buds in and up pretty loud and I could hear him from across the gym.

Did he set it on a bench you wanted to use and it was too heavy for you to move?

Yes. How did you know?

My biggest pet peeve, besides someone not wiping down their station when they are done, and the guy who drops weights after each set... is that guy who thinks it is needed to walk in front of the gym with his chest puffed out (weighing 140lbs wet) and feels the need to get a drink of water out of the fountain after every little set he does. Don't water log yourself bro!
