What Annoy's you most about your gym?

I don't think I would say I can't stand it, but it does intrigue me. Almost everyday, same fun loving group of guys come in and hit the bench, and that's it. Some of them are in fantastic looking shape too. It only makes me wonder, how did they get in such good shape?

They probably do hundreds of bicep curls when they get home too, that's the best way to gain mass ;)

Lol, if you don't like sweat then do some Pilates or something instead with all the skinny women and vegetarians. After a good deadlifting session I'm dripping sweat like a fried chicken eating northern b#stard. There's no way Lynx could stop that :D

(P.S. I'm think I might have broken SmithMachine's record for most people offended in one post there)

I saw a guy curling with dumbells in the squat rack for the first time yesterday, I'd heard the legends but never seen such stupidity through my own eyes :yelrotflmao:

holy ****. At least the guys at my gym that take up the swuat rack use barbells doing curls. It also annoys me when they do quarter squats in the squat rack.

My pet peeve has to be the groups of guys who come in and occupy the bench press for about an hour doing set after set of low weight, high reps.

Hmm, for me it's more like the middle aged women doing flies and tricep kick backs on the bench press. even though there are 2 other incline decline benches that they could use.

I'm assuming that's a regional thing, and I'm seriously hoping that jellied eels is a joke. I mean, I've heard how bad the food is, but that's just sick.


My gym-----umm, let's see, the new colors. OMG!!! It looks like a damn circus tent in there! They don't do anything low-rent around there. The owners hire consultants and so on, so normally when they remodel (every couple of years) it's very nice. This time, it sucks. No one likes it, and frankly, it's distracting.
 
yes it is true people from london eat eels(yes it is sick )soaked in jelly i think they caLL THEM ROLLMOPS(which also is wrong)
im very anti london i think its the sh66t hole of europe any body south of the watford gap wouldnt know a yorksdhire pud if it sat on there face

Lol, Londoners eat jellied Eels do they? And rollmop Herrings? So I take it you have a perm, wear a tracksuit all day while drinking special brew and getting into fights?
Jellied Eels are a war-time food, you won't be able to buy them anywhere here now.

No we really don't, I've never even seen one let alone eaten one! It's an image made for TV and Cinema to show 'salt of the earth east Londoners' from WW2 when we couldn't fish in the sea so had to use local rivers, but is totally untrue of any time after the 1940's
It's a bit like saying all Frenchmen wear garlic round their necks and cycle everywhere.

We need a German to focus our ridiculing of stereotypes onto :)
 
Just thought of a very annoying thing about my gym; as it's located in Covent Garden about half of the people that workout there are either strippers or sex workers.....but guess what.....they're all men!

The gay stripper workout goes roughly like this
1) Apply fake tan
2) low weight high reps on pectoral fly machine
3) Chat openly to friends about regular clients and slutty co-workers
4) Hit sauna

Lol, at least it means I can focus on working out without the distraction of some lovely ladies but it would be nice to get at least one female stripper in there to help balance it out!!
 
The fact the dumbells aren't labelled up properly. This isn't a problem for me as it isn't hard to do the simple maths, it's just that for the amount of money they are making they SHOULD be labelled up correctly.

I suppose that wouldn't really be the worst thing though, theres not too many bad points about my gym.
 
I just saw the typical dilemma of curling in the squat rack today. It did actually piss me off because I was ready to do some squattin'. Also, there's one dumbass at my gym that pretty much everyone hates, including the staff. Too bad he's too huge for us to do anything about it :)
