The woman who is hot and knows it so she wears really tight workout clothes and then gets mad when someone looks her over.

I have the cell phone crew, talking on the phone and trying to lift with one hand or just sitting on benches talking cause their calls are " important "


I also have the fabulous DIET COKE lady on the treadmill; runs on the treadmill for an hour while stopping every three minutes to take a swig from one of the several Diet Cokes she carries in her canvas bag also between talking on her cell phone.

Also the guy that wears the same workout clothes all week without washing or burning them.
Or the insecure guy who comes in with his girlfriend and stands and stares at her while she works out and then either does one set of five reps with 20 pounds or goes macho and tries to lift way too much with no form at all to impress her.

Damn, now I notice everything

The people who take the elevator to the next floor instead of the steps,
and the AMERICAN IDOL wannabes singing with their headsets on.

Bally's got to be the circus of all gyms!

only beef i have with this thread.

spandex/biker shorts under shorts is helpful for squats/deallifting/powercleans

if you walk away from a rack, you are done.

flexing between sets increases hardness and vascularity

I always wear under armour spandex things under my shorts. I hate working out in cotton boxers.

I've never heard that flexing between sets helps anything... and what do you mean 'hardness'?

Either way, there is a difference between flexing and posing in front of the mirror.



and at the bo staff skills

The guy in my apartment "spa" who belts out the Yale Fight song while lifting weights.
The idiot who comes in wearing a walkman complete with headphones, then turns on the TV loud enough so that he can hear it......through his music on the walkman.
People who conspicuously drop weights
People who assume my balance ball and extensor chords are gym equipment and get their sweaty ass all over my "stuff"

Spandex- I wear under armour all the time under my shorts, they are called compression shorts.
Flexing-I don't do it where its obvious but if you lift weights and you never kinda flex in the mirror then either you have no muscle or lying.

Someone I hate, the fucking Staff who is too busy trying to hit on some dumb bitch to help me on the bench. THere was one guy there one day and I needed a spot for ownly one set. I wanted my last set to be a superset but couldn't because he had his cock in some chicks mouth.

I think I have to chip in on this one. do you all remember the douche from "who wants to marry a millionaire?" That dude used to work out at the same gym as I did and everytime he was in there you were guaranteed to see the "million dollar dick" because he loved to cruise around the locker room naked talking to people.

at this 24 Hour Fitness I go to sometimes... I'll see this... older white lady practicing Tai Chi in the aerobics room... it just makes you ask yourself... "...what's wrong with this picture?" It's just that... she isn't very good... and she's constantly looking at the entrance to see if anyone's watching... as if she wants the attention.

An older thin white lady was doing that in the grocery line because it was taking so long it was very akward.

I absolutely HATE people who occupy a machine or a bench to do something that can be done standing or kneeling on the ground. Fockers make everyone else wait around!

We have this guy, I'll just call him Mr. Uniform Spandex. Everytime he goes to the gym he has a matching spandex outfit. I mean hat, shirt, shorts, socks and matching shoes. Then he'll have a fanny pack on top of that. And either he's part black or he's stuffing a couple socks down there.

shorts should come to the middle of the kneecap, unless they are running shorts, then they should be 1" above the kneecap.

My soccer shorts are 1" above if not a tad more. To me, that's acceptable for soccer, running, etc. My gym shorts are regulation length.

Well yeah, for sports they are allowed to be shorter, and I think you can go 1" higher for every decade you are over 30.

it's all relative to what you're doing or sport you're playing... but when working out in a gym? we don't need to see your nuts or jock strap when you're on the leg press machine... with your legs inverted up...

..but yeah, if you're a runner or in the case of soccer... that's a whole different attire.

I hate it when kids come in wearing bagging clothing. I have been guilty of this, to an extent! They weren't baggy baggy just basketball shorts, only because I have yet to find knee cap shorts with pockets

what irritates me are the kids with the "trucker's hat" worn sideways... tryin' so hard to act cool... it's even worst when it's an adult... (mid20's to even mid 30's) does the same... it's like... "...get over it, you ain't a kid anymore..."
