I grabbed one of those EZ curl bars to do shrugs behind the back the other day. I picked it up and brought it to a flat bench (none of the benches were occupied), just to have somewhere to easily set it down and to get away from the racks.

Some dude came up and bitched at me (while the other flat bench was open) that I was taking up a flat bench and should be doing this in another area. Like really?

I've been working out for over 30 years. In that time I've competed a couple of time, a long time ago, and have been in gyms all over the place. The only thing that bothers me is when someone is finished with a machine or a bar, they don't clear the weights off of the machine. This is a big pet peeve of mine because it lets people know you are finished. I understand people doing super sets and such so I don't want to kill someone's workout. But geez it's not that difficult. All of the stuff in the OP's list don't bother me. I'll find a place to squat, either front squats on the smith machine or I'll do leg presses. Besides squatting is a dying art these days as you saw in that pic. Relax Francis it'll be ok. Get creative with exercises, you'll get better gains

If other people working out bothers you this much, stop being poor and put in your own gym. I don't remember the last time I got pissed at myself for taking up equipment or not clearing my weights for myself.

Bench really is a non-functional lift unless you are a powerlifter. What that means is your bench press numbers going up literally does nothing to help you in everyday life or sport.


I guess if you don't consider slaying pussy a sport

Another bad one is the guy who is using 3 sets of Dumbbells at the same time.


fricking this - some assclown loves doing this shite where I go. Grabs one set of dumbbells from 30 all the way up to 60 and lays them out on the floor so he can do some bullshite circuit thing of 5 curls then step down 5 lbs lighter, do 5 curls, then step down 5 lbs lighter...etc.
fricks with everyones workouts. Selfish asshat.

Problem?

The only problem I ever see in the gym are weaklings, like yourself, that are just in the way.

Go home and do p90x with the rest of the sheep.

If you don't wipe down a machine or treadmill after use, YS.
