What is cringy to you at the gym

Today I saw a dude at one of our 2 squat racks grab a little seat after 20 mins of "warming up" and do SOHP when theres a station for miltary press like 20 ft away. he also was wearing a belt because 95-115 is hard stuff. I also hate when people use boxes/benches as a table

Inappropriate use of the power rack is the only thing that bothers me. Other than that, I don't really notice much when I workout.


Of course when someone is doing barbell thrusts in the rack I need to use, I can't help but notice, since I can't even start my workout.

One time these 3 binches were LAYING DOWN around a bench in the DB area no weights out, just talking and chatting. That was the ultimate cringe moment.

Also excessive texting.

people taking pics/videos of themselves, people are fukking losers that do this a lot. the only saving grace these people have is that "other people do it."

people not wiping down after sweating all over the machine/bench

guys acting confused/too cool to spot people

using more than 2 sets of dumbells at a time

super setting around the gym when its crowded

The whole place is cringe. The egos are just too strong there unless you go at the ass crack of dawn in the morning. Plus it's always the same people at the same time, every day.

The amount of guys wearing belts, gloves and wraps to curl 35s in front of the mirror blows my mind. Never even saw it until recently....

Manlets who barely look like they lift who try to give you advice even though your bigger then they are.

Average looking personal trainers who barely graduated trying to give advice on nutrition.

People who wear garbage bags when doing cardio

People who curl in the squat rack

Anyone with a fitbit or comparable watch
