So I'm bangin arms today. Nobody in the gym but me. In walks some dude about 23 y.o and maybe 5'9 & 160. He comes over in my area. He's got his ear buds in, does 5 reps of VERY easy curls, sits down and has his face planted in his mobile phone for 5 mins. Gets up, does 5 more curls - not even coming close to pushing himself, sits back down, on his mobile 5 mins. Etc etc. I'm smashing arms via supersets, and thinking why dafuq is he even here? Like, you don't even deserve to be in the same room with me or breathing my air. I REALLY wanted to say something to him, like why are you here dude? But I said nothing. Amazing to me that people like this even waste their time going to a gym. I mean, why? It meant nothing to me that he was using very light weights, it's the point of not even giving any effort whatsoever, then living on your phone. Like go bowling or play badminton or something.
 
Sounds like me I was wondering why this big guy kept giving me dirty looks as he did endless sets of curls like doesn't he know that's over training lol
 
man the phone is a crazy addiction now a days. I was at breakfast with two of my friends a week ago. One is 29 the other one is 25 and the whole time they were on their phone. I wanted to check mine too, but i forced myself to not touch it.

I can be guilty of constantly checking texts and email on my phone as if the world is going to stop without me. The only way to break that addiction is to get rid of a smart phone but its so valuable now adays. I use it for music, gps, banking etc.
 
My smart phone is only as smart as the user. So it's literally a dumbass.
 
DH,

You have just described how many people go through life, not just the gym. I preach to my son all the it that work ethic will separate him from the masses. Few people have a strong work ethic. Regardless if you work for someone else or chart your own destiny work ethic and the resiliency to get back up when you get knocked down is what creates success in any form.
 
Yeah I have never seen that shit in the squat rack. Get that bitch in the squat rack.

Love it!! The least used equipment in the gym!!

Something about puking that keeps most casual gym goers away. :)))
 
Yes absolutely.

On the flip side, I watched this dude the other day come in, probably​ 5'10" 240 range solid as a rock. Sits down starts chugging his drink, pulls out his phone and fks off for about 10 minutes then puts on one of those hi altitude training masks gets up picks up 80lb db, sits back down and pulls out his phone. Takes off the mask, fks around on the phone, stands up puts the mask back on, gets ready (so I thought) to start lifting.... Then did this same back and forth mask on, mask off, texting shit for a solid half hour. When I was leaving he had just started lifting.

I thought damn if that's how you get that big, I need to reconsider everything lol
 
My gym is full of these adn this couple that takes the cable machine for an hour and spends most of it on PDA, I did tell them once to get a room, work out or get off the dam* machine. We also have a chick that spends more time looking in the mirror and tucking her leggings up the crack of her ass...seriously, every set the hikes em up and tucks em in...she has a great ass though so I do watch, lol. Fn kids though...lift bitches, lift!
 
I thought you went to the gym to meet women. They have weights there too? Wow!!! I never noticed.
 
What do people care what other people are doing while they are in the gym? That is so dumb. Instead of being a judgemental dick, why not offer to help them or ask if they want to train together since you were both hitting arms.

So you're that guy eh?

Opinions vary - no need for acting like a child with the name calling. Read the rules.
 
If the guy has his face in a phone at the gym, it is just a guess, but I would say we would not have similar arm routines. DPH said nothing to him. That is self control, not being a dick. We have all had guys that don't belong near free weights taking up space. They have yoga for that crowd.

Hank I agreed with you from the start, some people who play with their phones, take up several pieces of equipment at the same time, yell, scream or loud grunting while lifting all piss me off. IMO these are the guys showing disrespect to the other members. I hit the gym everyday at 430 am, these are the reasons why.

But why troll on him? Did he really bother you that bad? Stay in your lane, bro. I couldn't careless what other people are doing in the gym...that's their business. And he didn't deserve to be in the gym with you or breathing your air??? Come on now...who are you?

You think it makes more since to start a squabble over some unknown person in a city you have no idea where it is, or even if this said person even exists. If you're looking to flame someone over BS, take it somewhere else.

I'm not flaming...I just have a different opinion. No harm in that.

I believe I know where you're coming from and I can see your point. You and Hank are both good people, I just don't want to see hard feelings develop between the two of you over what I think is a silly situation.

Brother, I don't think DPH was serious about wanting to bitch slap the guy or saying something to him. The breathing his air comment wasn't meant to take literally, more for humor dramatization of a lazy turd in the gym. I don't really care what people do either, and I don't think DPH was stressed out on any of this, but rather just making a post with some comedic value since the forum has been more on the slow side, and of course, we all have those people in our gyms. Don't look into it too much and take the post literally, my man:)
 
I'm still looking for the weights in my Planet Fitness. But lots of chubby chick to lift!!

BMJ you know me too well fruitcake! :p

Just to add, I've worked out in too many gyms to count - including abroad in third world conditions - and nothing can take away from my focus when training. The guy I was talking about in my initial post didn't affect my workout whatsoever. The part about breathing my air was fucking sarcasm, along with some other shit I said. My main point was about how some people go to the gym and give no effort whatsoever & just live on their phone, which IMO is pointless. MY FUCKING OPINION. Anyone has s different opinion that's GREAT - afterall opinions vary. This certainly isn't an issue for someone to get their panties in a wad & resort to name calling and dissing other members/mods here.
 
yeah, I have worked out in third world gyms too. Right here in this country.

I have to admit though. I have had some great workouts in them. No barbie dolls, no pretty boys, no stair climbers, no distraction just sweat and iron.
 
Yeah it really doesn't bother me what people are doing in the gym unless it interferes with what I need to get done. Like when I need to get my leg extensions done and some guy is doing like Hank said, crappy non reps and spending time on the machine like it's his lounge chair at home on his phone. Usually I will just ask if I can work in and they will say last set or two more. If they say 2 more or more than that I will ask again mind if I work in. And thye will say OK. But it aggravates me. Hank and I are the same age. When we started this it was a lot different. Gym etiquette was pretty steep. more people busted their balls.. not everybody but almost everybody. People teamed up more in pairs ant triples to train. The gym was the opposite of a lounge. So for old twats like me and Hank it makes our brains misfire to see some skinny lad texting in an area that is made for busting ass and tearing down muscle.
 
On another note-

Fck this one guy kills me every time in the th gym. He blasting his music you can hear from a mile away. Ear phones in. Hitting any excercises and he is counting the reps painfully mid rep... 1111......22222....33333 followed by, "come on god you can do it", 444444444.... its painfully funny cause I don't think he realizes he's doing it
 
I dont give a fuck what other people do in the gym, i just get my shit done and get the fuck outta there,
does certain shit annoy me at times? of course, but nowadays i just have a "you do you bro" attitude., saves my blood pressure from rising exponentially that way lol.
