Nope, as the guy had his head down, doing his thing, she grabs the 25 off his bar! I was trying to get his attention when she decided she don't want the 25, she needs the 45

Momma said never hit a woman, but there are exceptions to every rule.

when people do shite with the worst form

There is this dude who puts his hands around his neck to front squat and when he hit the hole has his back rounded like a hump back

I’ve spotted him a couple times on back squats

Same insane rounded back and he looks like he doesn’t know if he’s trying to low bar or high bar. Keeps the bar high but leans forward like low bar.

Get on the treadmill, run about 2 min then move their feet to the side so they can stand still and take selfies like theyre getting this killer workout

This old baw was getting after it at my local PF a while back.

fricking people shadow boxing and exercising in the sauna. I can’t wait for the day one of these assholes falls on the coals and burns the shite out of himself

Some of the behavior at the UREC is infuriating. I see some near autistic shite on a daily basis. Kids lifting inches in front of the dumbbell racks during peak times, blocking access to half of the weights, dudes walking in with their music blaring from a phone and no headphones, groups of 3-4 undergrads who take up significant chunks of room while snap chatting each other lifting 25lb dumbbells, etc

Grown arse men do this too. I've quit the passive-aggressive standing-around-and-sighing hoping they get the idea and now just tell them "you need to move you're in the way". Surprisingly effective.

Grown arse men do this too. Trash is gonna trash. "That's really distracting. Can you turn it off or put some earphone on?"

Grown arse men do this too. But they're just wasting their time, not mine, and not rudely in anyone's way so who cares?

Selfish lack of situational awareness is rampant, me you and everyone else with it needs to point out the problems in an attempt to educate the idiotic masses.

I’m so happy I work out in the privacy of my own home. This thread reinforces my theory that people are stupid.

I always chuckle at the loud grunters. Y’all know the ones, they sound like a gut shot pig or a woman giving birth.

Depends for me. Max lift, I understand a little noise. If you're benching 135x10 and need to grunt every rep...nope.

Clothing choices is another one I remember from my commercial gym days. I knew a guy who had cut a hooded sweatshirt into a string tank top, but left the hood. He cut it low, so his entire chest and back was bare, but he kept the hood on at all times.

I spotted him once and we exchanged maybe 5 words. The next time I saw him, he spent 5 minutes telling me how he just got fired for having sex with his boss's daughter in really graphic detail. Our relationship wasn't at a point I needed that much shared. He ended by telling me he might wind up homeless.
