I think I go to the messiest gym in the world - I always see empty Red Bull cans on the floor or water bottles on the floor. I also see free weights scattered everywhere, like people don't understand the concept of putting weights back on the rack after they are done. You have dipshits who do 3 reps of leg press at 1 billion pounds and then they won't unload the weights. I swear to fucking God that I am going to lose it and clock someone with a 5lb plate one of these days.

Now that's what I call a REAL GYM. My gym is as real as it
gets. You go to the restroom/lockeroom and it smells like
straight up urine in their. Dirtiest motha' freakin' gym I've
ever been to, but it gets the job done. A gym isn't suppose
to be all pretty and organized but messy and stank. Example:
I go to lay down on the flat bench to hit up the chest and
their is a pool of sweat on the bench ready to submerge my
head. GRIMMEY!

Anyone ever these two other common gym specimins: "helper guy" and "spot me guy"?

Helper guy: Ironically, helper guy only solicites his services to hot chicks and seasoned veterans. Hot chicks is self explanatory, but helper guy likes to offer technique advice and lifting tips as a way to equate himself with the veterans. I worked out 5 days a week for 4 years and helper guy loved to pull me over in the middle of a set and say "hey, i got this great ticept excercise that will really tear you up." Helper guy never seems to pick on the new people as he feels his advice is too precious for unseasoned gym rats. But if you have been to the same gym for at least a year, a run in with helper guy is inevidable

Spot me guy: gotta love this guy. He works out by himself but insists on maxing very excercise his program. Spot me guy will often approach you in the middle a set to spot him and you reluctantly agree hoping it will be quick and painless. You finish quickly and head back to your machine to finish your next set However, if spot me guy is happy with your work, he will waive you over for another round. By the time you get back to your machine, some asshat has taken it over so you have to ask him to work and he treats you like your interupting his workout. I hate spot me guy!

I disagree - I don't want to see crap everywhere. It's not like civilzation ends at the gym doors. Also, when I say weights are scattered everywhere, I literally mean it. They are EVERYWHERE!! When I am using dumb bells I don't want to wander around the gym looking for a pair of 50s or whatever. I want to step up to the racks and grab what I need and do my set. I have a mission when I am at the gym and wasting time is not part of that mission.

NOTICE TO ALL: Whatever you do at the gym, and wherever you go, BRING A TOWEL. NOT THAT HARD! That whole pool of sweat, that's just dirty. . .

Here are two of my favorites:

1. Older men who use the hair dryers to dry their balls and ass. Every once in a while I will walk into the locker room and see an older man standing butt naked in front of the sinks with the hair dryers. Put a towel on, no one wants to see that.

2. My friend and I call the next type of guys "Big Dogs". These are the types of guys that are always lifting a lot of weight and grunt out loud. When you talk to them they use such catch phrases as "bro". One in particular has been seen chasing his g/f around the gym with a bench. They are often loud and obnoxious big guys, but aren't in too great of shape.

oh yeah...forgot one

Water guy: Sometimes the gym fountain just isnt big enough to quench the manly thirst of water guy; so instead, he brings a water bottle. However, just any water bottle will not do. Water guy needs a manly bottle for his manly thirst.

Ive seen water guy carry around such things as a gallon milk jug, a camel back, and even a 2 gallon iqloo cooler.

Nothin wrong with a gallon jug, honestly. Some of us are just more thirsty than other, less hardcore gym members . I use the fountain, but only because i'm too lazy/forgetful to have a full gallon on hand at all times.

I finish the 1.5 liter easily.

I too bring a water bottle to the gym - they only have 2 water fountains and they are both on one side of the gym. I can't waste time walking back and forth from my station to the fountain.

Same here - I sweat like crazy. So if I don't have a towel then someone would knock me out after I drenched the bench.

The people at my gym annoy me also. It's like a fucking high school, get out of your groups and quit socializing, do something or MOVE. I don't talk to anyone but the owners and trainers (friends of mine)

notice that 'tiny guy' is NOT on the list.

I think the #1 misconception of people who don't work out is that they will look like a retard if they are small or out of shape. I think most of the experienced lifters like to see new people giving it a shot... just don't be any of the guys listed here so far...

The fake hero. He watches everyone closely so he could run to the rescue and lift the bar off your chest. I intentionally do pauses with 225 so the fake hero could come and "rescue" me, only to see the weight go back up with ease. I take the barbell, rest it on my chest for 10 seconds, then push the weight up. My friends crack up everytime someone comes over to "rescue" me.

I'd rather see "tiny guy" at the gym trying to stay in shape than a bunch of poser wannabe's who only do bench and bicep curls.

This reminds me, nobody mentioned disproportionate guy. He is the guy who has HUGE biceps, traps, and chest but tiny ass legs and calves because the only time he works out legs is when he does some leg presses once a month.

cheering guy. the guy that flexes and says 'YEAH!!' after a set

or how about 'short ripped flamboyantly gay guy in spandex who brings his non english speaking maid wearing jeans and button down shirt to carry his water bottles, carry his plates, and wipe down his machines for him'

or maybe that guy is just at my gym....

Not everyone looked like Arnold the first time they went in.

And besides, why do you care what other people think? The only people there who are going to look down on you for being small are the morons we're talking about in this thread. Please tell me you don't value their shit-ass opinion.
