I dont get this



Why are you being a kunt to someone who just asked how many sets they have left? I do this all the time ... I always ask someone how many sets they have, sometimes I'll work in with them or vice versa.


Maybe I'm getting the wrong idea here, but da fuq at not sharing if both of you can work a similar weight.

I wonder if anyone I've asked how many sets left has felt like you do. Perfectly reasonable to ask so I don't stand around waiting if you're gonna be a long time, or so I'm ready to take over if it's your last set.

"how many you got left?"
"last one"
"cool thanks"
...wait nearby, take over after he's done

"how many you got left?"
"just started, quite a few left"
"cool"
...walk away, do something else for a while

But why? I asked someone while they were taking a rest: "hey man, I was wondering how many sets you have left?" He just looked up at me and said "oh about a million, bro." I've been a huge dick to this manlet ever since. Rustled hard. I don't understand why some people in the gym need to be so rude.

Coming from a muay thai gym in thailand were alot pros and ammys are humble and helpful too seeing meatheads who try and intimidate you and act like they run the place because they lift heavy and know alot of faces in the gym is comical. Most of these type of meatheads would get laid out.

What's the problem? It bothers you when people wear gym clothing to the gym? lol

I've seen a few people wear formal/business clothing and footwear to the gym. Cringey when the sweat starts to seep through the shirt and slacks.

It bothers you when people want to know how much longer a machine will be in use? Why?

I see an even worse example of the social hour thing. I enter the gym at 5:45am coz that's my only window. There are plenty of people there on the early shift, which is cool. But there are quite a few who just stand around and chat and barely work out. It's one thing to do a social hour after work, but these people are setting their alarms for way before dawn to stand in a gym and socialise. One guy comes in and talks to everyone about how hard it is to getup so early in the morning. If the cut out the extra talking and just lifted he could have slept in an extra hour.

Also all the bros who do work out are wearing earbuds and hoodies up, so when they talk to each other they are shouting so they can hear themselves and each other over their music.

hood up music in crew so that *******s dont ask me how many sets i have left crew. it only really bothers me when they ask if they can work in and turns out theyre working with 100+ less weight and need the bar lowered. like fuk off mate i could finish my sets in the amount of time its taking us to switch the weights.

therefore i do my best to ignore everyone

So true. In fact, I was doing partial reps just yesterday not because I didn't know any better but because of rehab (limited ROM) for my shoulder.

I also have to take big rest breaks while the pain subsides but it is having a positive effect, albeit at a very slow pace.

Well I always encourage new people and everyone else in the gym, but sometimes people just take the piss. I know most people have their reasons, and thats fair, but honestly:
When people throw their weights regardless of whatever the fuk they are doing. I cant stand that chit. Whenever I see someone db pressing like 25kgs (50lbs ish) and just dropping them, I always make an extra effort to press more weight and slowly put them back on the ground when finished. Same thing when people take off weights for dropsets and just throw that chit from shoulder height to the ground. Fukin why?

People training "guns" and meaning their biceps. brb losing out on all the tricep gains. brb throwing around 20kgs like a fuking donkey instead of focusing on quality curls.

The occasional guy who doesnt even lift, but might have a slight hint of muscles visible on the arm, always dressed in black and acting like the fuking gym God, walking around with arms flared out and always alpha-staring others down, looking mean and mighty. Always feel like throwing a plate right in the nutter on this dude. The same dude is guilty of doing the 2 above things as well, of course. No warming up, no legs, always having to put on a chit ton of weight and doing poor reps.

Fuk I hate that guy

Gym selfies are extremely cringeworthy. Anything trying hard to seek a lot of attention and validation is pretty cringeworthy to be honest.

I get them all at my gym. People carrying around giant duffel bags full of supplements that could be left at home. We get it bro you lift and you don't want to miss your anabolic window.

Wait what?

Whole point of asking is to see how long it'll be and if you mind waiting, if someone has two sets left on the squat rack what am i meant to do in the mean time? Run off and have someone else take it? If they wait by the equipment that doesn't negatively impact you at all, just carry on as normal

I think its definitely the really old dudes that go in wearing a tucked in button up and jeans with the velcro sneakers. I'd be so uncomfortable.

imagine a 320 lb 5'4" morbidly obese 14 year old boy with the B.O. of goat cheese and nerve gas, seeping out of filthy tracksuit, bicep curling 25s screaming "BEASTMODE" after every rep then slamming the weights down and bert staring everyone who dared glance at him during his autistic fit.

There's one dude at my gym that screams/moans no matter what exercise he is doing. Literally screaming randomly while on the treadmill. Wat.

Also smells like complete chit, almost threw up from level 5 BO smell when he was doing lat pulldowns. Dude stunk out a good 10ft radius of the machine.

Then there are the chicks who perform a million different exercises with 0.5kg dumbbells (srs). Just go home love, you have failed.
