Flys...im doing 65's not a hell of a lot weight but definatly enough to fuck my shoulder up if some idiot bumps into me. Sure enough some
Fucking idiot on his phone oblivious

I would have dropped that shit on his foot, that's dangerous I got bad shoulders too, I would have been pissed as well.

I'd have fucked him up. I'd have tried to drop that shit on his feet at a minimum. Even. Y gym gets people not well versed in courtesy that attempt to squeeze between things like benches. Common sense would say he's benching 400+ pounds let me not risk bumping into his bat, but nooooooo..... you always get one noob mother fucker trying to squeak by, or swap his plate out on the bench next to you making you nervous as fuck.

Yeah it's always the dumbasses that manage to try to squeak by, another thing... you're benching and someone will stand in front of your bench to do curls, You sit up and you're so close it's like you could reach out and tap his ass cheeks to say "really dude?". Or you're doing side laterals and someone squeezes a bench or seat right there as your resting to do shoulder presses. I just pick my shit up and continue barely missing their heads/arms. I mean pay attention to whats going on before you just intrude in peoples working space.

I was doing dumb bell curls the other day and this little skinny motherfucker that was in the crossfit class comes jogging by and squeezed in between me and the wall. I have him a look like I was gonna slap the shit out of him and said are u fucking kidding me. I don't mind crossfit and am down with people wanting to get in shape whatever way they see fit but they have all these asshole that run through the gym while people are trying to work out

Love my gym but they have crossfit classes 2-3 days a week and they have an area they are supposed to stay in but the assclown instructor has them prance around the gym during their class

Personally I dislike the general attitude they display. We'd have some in the gym maybe 6 months ago that'd act like they owned the squat racks and be in the mirrors by the dumbbell stands with kettle bells swinging away. Actually take them out of a room full of mirrors just to go in another room to stand in front of those mirrors and the db's... go figure.
They'd always stare at me and it was awkward af. There was one female that had muscles and a gang of skinny and fat guys all with beards and man buns wearing Rogue tees and crossfit shoes leaving chalk all over the place.

It's threads like these that make me glad I do 95% of my workouts at home.

Does this shit really happen? Chalk and all?? thats too much. there was a guy the other night wearing a sunvisor and sunglasses..lifting and talking to himself. Hilarious, making huge grunt sounds and slamming weights to the floor; yelling, huffing and puffing it was all so very Saturday Night Live like. The cherry on top...he was overhead pressing 45 lbs total. Every guy and gal in the place stopped and watched the show. It went on for nearly 35 minutes. Its so hard to believe that so many people have no sense of etiquette.

 

[Mb50]

Fuck yeah it happens. They chalk the shit out of the bar to deadlift 135 smfh...

Today was a prime example of all of this... I'll have to break it down instance by instance.

1. Tall guy, you can tell he's been in the gym some, but not much. Looks like a guy just getting into the gym who has no clue how to lift, but thinks he does. Total mirror muscle only guy (has a few minor muscles up front, but back is as smooth as a cutting board- lump free). Curling 6" in front of db rack, piss poor form and walked around like he owned the gym. He might be an alright guy, but he needs to tone himself down a bit. Being tall and bigger framed (not muscular though) is not a free pass to bad assery.

2. Old people, lady at cable station uses one but stretches cable out in front versus at an angle where nobody can use the other station. Working out right next to me... like within 8" of me. Two older guys basically sandwiched me and did curls as I was curling. Awkard.

3. The man bun guy. Stop staring at me bro.

4. The jogger pants guy. I was repping 405 on the bench till failure. I got stuck half way and had to call on my inner strong guy to will it up. The guy saw me and started to run behind me to grab the bar. I told him "Don't touch the bar. I got this." I racked it and he was like I thought you needed help. I can appreciate it, but don't touch my fucking bar as I'm lifting.

Quote of the day--- props to 44 "STOP STARING AT ME BRO"
This is my new Favorite.
I will never ask "what are you staring at? " because I already know the answer... An old man who will wreck your day.
