I don't think I have ever seen a thread that was a subtle brag about being a giant douche. Congrats.

is it that urgent that you can't wait for me to finish two more reps before asking????


Well since you're obviously a gym rat, it stands to reason that you're jacked and built like a tank and he would have no idea how many more reps you could belt out. Maybe 10, Maybe 50, hell maybe 500 before you got bored, Mr. Olympian?

That's bullshite - I would talk to management. If there aren't bag spots - I'm fine with a guy holding a bench between sets (reasonably) but someone staking out the entire dumbbell rack is bullshite.


we have plenty of cubby holes for stuff like that...they aren't lockers but still...

They don't clear the gym out for you pussies? I guess I never really thought about how much space my camera crew takes up while I'm lifting though.

This is more annoying than anything. I'm over in a corner doing dumbell curls, focused, and approaching my last few reps. Dip shite comes and stands between me and the mirror and asks if I'm using the bench (which is probably 30ft away). I haven't approached or used the bench since I walked in the gym and there was zero weight on or around it so it was obvious nobody else was either. Had the same thing happen while I was doing squats a few weeks ago. Seriously????? Does it look like I'm using the freaking bench and is it that urgent that you can't wait for me to finish two more reps before asking????


guy wanted to get in your pants.
