Types of side characters in your gym

I'll start and you can add

>that guy who spends 45 minutes doing one hand cable flies with literally no weight
>that guy who looks like Bigfoot who wanders the gym doing absolutely nothing while trying to chat up personal trainers
>that guy who just wanders the gym like a hollow eyed PTSD victim, mechanically completes his sets and has never once interacted with anyone
>that pack of early-20 guys trying to impress the one girl minding her own business
>that alpha of the pack who impresses them all with a 2 plate deadlift that he spends 15 minutes to psyche himself up for
>that turbo manlet zoomer who wears beats (TM) headphones and actually makes gains and looks perpetually pissed
>the four manlets of the apocalypse, all of which are famine, who converge on a bench and spend over an hour trying to hit that mythical goal of one plate
>that friendly polish power lifter who casually mogs the entire gym while looking like he doesn't even know where he is
>that lifting duo who look eerily like swole versions of bomberguy and yanderedev

Didn’t resonate with anything in the OP but this guy hit out the park! Every gym I’ve been to has these four.

I’ll add the Shadow Lifter: his water bottle and towel are always on the bench or squat rack but he’s nowhere to be found until you go to use the equipment, then he sprints out of nowhere to tell you he’s in the middle of his set.

The old asian Mr. Miyagi with a long beard who goes to the pull up station and just hangs upside down.

Pack of flexicans who only train arms and chest and were skin tight shirts with their love handles hanging out.

The middle aged woman with a personal trainer she obviously only hired to force someone to listen to her talk. 30-60 minutes of her talking loudly and relentlessly about her parent's illnesses, her husband eating the last peach, her son getting accepted into an international ballet school, her daughter's pregnancy, her rude boss who wants her to start returning to the office at least one day per week, etc etc. Meanwhile the PT is desperately searching for a pause long enough to suggest maybe doing another set.

Probably a one of a kind, but one distinctive character at a previous gym was a giant Sasquatch looking guy who would sit on the pec deck for an hour eyeballing any man in the gym who he suspected was looking at his HBB wife who was working out hard af in micro booty shorts.

The guy with no muscle mass that lifts his shirt to check out his abs in the mirror after every set.

The chick that does nothing but glute exercises and checks out her own ass in the mirror after every set.

The dickwad that doesn't re-rack his weights.

2) crocs kid, has a big deadlift and always wears crocs
3) big black guy who slams weights, strong af

those are the cool ones. some of the uncool ones are

1) old man who said some variation of he used to lift X but uses elbow sleeves for preacher curls
2) creepy old woman who always says suspect stuff
3) naked old dudes in the locker room
4) tall framelet kid, he has some of the worst clavicles I've seen on a tall dude. he's probably not much more than 6'3 but yeeeesh his clavicles are just that narrow. P.S. he also likes to talk **** a lot so that's why he's here

people at the gym are always so unique, seen some pretty funny ****

The permanent disability people

Folks bouncing the leg press at full lockout, bouncing the bar off their chest in bench press, and scared-cat form on deadlift

Spend your whole workout cringing and waiting for the snap

Given that you work out in your home gym I’m guessing these are all you?

Burly guy who might be a cop, training his 14 year old son. They take over a barbell rack, and if one of them sets his barbell down on the rack after each set, and you ask if he’s done with it, he says no.

I’m talking about the rack with 40 pound barbell, 50 pound barbell, etc, up to like 110. They completely block everyone’s access to the barbells while doing their sets.

Muscular 60 something ex soldier looking guy hogging the smith machine

Jacked European manlet

Skinny Indian kids in garish Ralph polo, the cheapest jeans and running shoes possible and lifting gloves. Seen to curl about 10kgs

Attention seeking thinks he’s hard type who’s not even big loudly telling his mate how the weights in the gym are too light and he goes to another one with “big boy weights”

This is another variation of the naked old guy: the naked old guy using the shower but not closing the curtain so that everyone can watch him shower

The naked old guy with an axe to grind with the non- nudes, so goes literally everywhere he can while naked to make a point

The stealth changers (like me) who know that all of the naked men follow the /r/communalshowers subreddit (which is all cool - I’m down for communal bonding) - but actually turn out to just be dudes who are into looking at other naked dudes and don’t give a fuk about communal showers (aside from the fact that open showers make it easy to look at other naked dudes)
Entire NYPD should go on strike. You'll see then how quickly the mayor changes his tone.
