Kind of startling though. I think Arnold is worried about things other than bodybuilding at this point.

That picture of arnold is fake.
It was proven fake awhile ago....but if you think about it...he would have a big scar on his chest from heart surgery.

I spent 65 minutes on the elliptical machine and return to the locker room to see the same guy, except now he is sitting on the bench butt naked directly across my locker and reading the newspaper.
And of all things, the creep has the nerve to do the "cough" "cough" routine acting as if he's annoyed at me. I go to the shower, get back, and the fucker hasn't budged but he does more of the "cough, cough." And all this time the guy is still reading the newspaper while sitting on the bench directly in front of my locker completely undressed. I felt like knocking his teeth out.
The worst thing of all is that I don't think the guy ever set foot in the gym. I think he was just sitting in the locker room butt naked reading the newspaper for more than an hour.

I didn't feel like combing through the past 14 or so pages, but the ones I can't stand the most are the toughguys who grunt and scream when they're lifting when it's not even necessary and the people who sit on machines resting for 5 minutes in between sets...

I agree loud grunting is annoying in general... but it's one thing if a big guy that's about to leg press the equivalent of a VW beetle, but what bothers me more are the average joes that are NOT lifting much but yet... grunt like they're going for the world record

oh, here's another one...
those guys that load the leg press with every 45lb plate in the gym... but only lowering the press a few inches during each rep... all the while, pushing the knees with his hands
I just want to ask them "..where da fvck did you learn how to train??!!"

I totally agree with the "leg press" mentality ... for whatever reason, at my gym, it seems to be the ultimate exercise of insecurity. Instead of leaving their egos at the door and working diligently with basic bench press, squats, dips, pull-ups, rows, etc. (starting light and building up methodically), some people would shakily leg press 450 pounds a couple sets, do some ridiculously fast/back-arching lat pull-downs or swinging dumbbell curls, and then call it a day. Or if they're feeling especially frisky, they finish with poor-form dumbbell shrugs, which is always good for a laugh. It's just a waste of time. Similarly, I sigh when people squat with too much weight rather than dropping the weight and getting a good, slow and full stretch. Again, ego rearing its ugly head.
In terms of grunting, I must plead guilty to such behaviors but it's never too loud. Besides, it's more a prolonged exhale than anything else.
However, I think more highly of an individual who grunts/exhales loudly than one who finishes a set and THROWS or DROPS the weights.

I hate people that pay attention to all the annoying people in the gym.
It's a public place (or semi-public), so obvously it's gonna be filled with idiots. Just focus on your own workout and get your business done.

I don't necessarily hate these people, but they do make me laugh. Two amateurs in my gym yesterday, one guy giving the other one "advice". When it comes time for the lift, their breathing sounds like air coming out of a tire as they keep their teeth closed while breathing through their mouths.

I hate the people who stare. There's an older woman in my gym with a decent body who always wears sunglasses when she works out. Maybe she figures its not noticeable with her shades on but I could tell that she was staring at me for an uncomfortably long time. I've seen her do the same with other people too. Plus, she looks like an idiot wearing sunglasses indoors.
Check people out if you want, but don't make it obvious.

You guys are too funny… 
I hate when I see this skinny ass kid wearing a tight shirt walking around with his arms flared out like he’s big!!! And always looks like he’s pissed off all the time…
And there’s a guy that likes to freak’n add hundreds of pounds of weight on a machine or bar and then only move it 2 inches for a couple of reps and then walk away for 15 minutes with all his shit on the machine to let every body know that he’s on it…and every time I see him, he’s trying to freak’n tell somebody how his workout routine is the best thing since sliced bread!!!
Also I hate it when somebody spotting me by yelling “PUSH IT!!!!!” COME ON, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!” While everybody in the freak’n gym stops and stare.
Oh and a work out partner that has bad breath …….

there's this guy I hate w/ a passion that goes to the UCLA gym. I think he's a year or two younger than I, absolutely scrawny fool taht does absolutely nothing but talk shit on the basketball court. If he has the means to back up his mouth that's fine w/ me, but the guy is terrible and constantly feels the need to mouth off.
When he gets into the weight room, it's more dumbass stuff. He and his pals are always fucking around:
-banging the weights down hard (on the cable machines) loud enough to scare everyone two rooms down and laughing about it
-always touching a machine or a set of weights for and running off
-talking on his cellphone nearby machines and benches so that you can't comfortably get in and workout cause he makes it look like he's "reserved" the area
-flexing into the mirror for minutes at a time admiring the musculature he does not possess.
-dancing in the middle of walkways and in high traffic areas by himself.
This guy is pretty much a combination of all negative aspects touched upon in this thread wadded up into one convenient douche bag package.
On top of all this he wears pink cut-offs to the fucking gym.
1. He really shoudln't be wearing cut-offs in the first place. It just doesn't look good.
2. Pink cut offs. period.

^^^^^^The sad thing is every gym has a clown like that in them.
We got this 80 pound dude who wears blue cut offs, silver tights under them and headbands, wristbands, armbands - the whole Oliva Newton John " Let's Get Physical " outfit and does evrything possible to draw attention to himself. Not including the earphones the size Micky Mouse hat ears he wears.
