Gym Pet Peeves

New guy in the gym today.

But nothing that hasn't already been listed as pet peeves.

I'm all for people of any shape getting better but this guy wasn't really getting better. I was in there for 65 minutes, and I saw him looking in the mirror picking at his blackheads and texting/watching youtube videos more than he was lifting. He was around 6'2 and a very soft 220-240. He did do 3 sets of squats, although it wasn't heavy (it was 105). He rested for 6 mins AT LEAST between squat sets.

When I was doing bent over row's on the pivot machine, he came over to me and started yapping about this girls but exploded from putting too much oil in her butt as an implant. Then he tried to show me a video of some dude in brazil, at that point I said "yea, thats weird." put my head phones in and walked away.

Came back and he was there waiting for me, I could barely hear him trying to talk to me AS I WAS LIFTING, and I just kept looking down and ignored him. He finally walked away. I considered myself to be a jacka$$ at that moment but I had work to get done. If you really need a friend then I will do my best to help ya and chat over lunch or something but not in the freaking gym.

Thought some of you might appreciate this, so when you get a moment, you might take a look at the Twitter account @GymWankers_. Some pretty funny videos - what some people do in a gym that they think is "lifting" is...baffling and hilarious. And I'm sure you'll see something that makes you say, "I have a guy at my gym that does the same thing!"

 
Gym wankers is funny but a lot of the times its like...Ummmm...that is a real lift...bro!

But I follow them.

Is there a creepy twitter handle for creepy_pics_of_gym_Hotties

 
This is actually a YouTube comment pet peeve.

Every time I watch a lifting tip video, if it's a guy and his calves aren't huge, people make fun of him for having toothpick legs. Apparently Usain Bolt needs to work on his calves too. They're not sexy enough and I bet he could run faster if he'd give them more attention.

There are plenty of dudes out there at the gym though, and every gym has them, where it's completely obvious that the guy is skipping leg day every week. Just seen one last week, his legs were skinny as hell, but his upper body was huge! Oh, and he also rubbed baby oil all over his arms so everyone could see him. Give me a break man.............

Or they could have amazing gentics (sarcasm) like myself, where you have to buy pants a waist size up to fit your thighs and like to be able to run whenever and not be sore, so you neglect all things legs...
The last excuse is lazyness, but the first is annoyingly true.

You don't need tree trunk legs to have a strong lower body, though. There is a guy at the gym I go to that looks a little top heavy and gives the appearance that he skips leg day. However, he does legs every week and squats and deadlines a lot of weight, but you wouldn't know that just by looking at him.

Calves seem to be a largely genetic thing. I've never trained mine a day in my life, and they're massive. Then there's the dudes who train them religiously, but still have chicken legs.

Yeah, but the question is, does he rub baby oil all over himself for all to see?!
