Sure it’s not all powerlifters out there but some at my local gym are really annoying me! They’ll put their keys in the lone squat rack or cable machine and leave it there all workout long, even if they don’t use the rack/machine lol. One guy said to me put those barbells and horizontal row handles away, you been using them? and I was like they’re not mine I’ve just been using dumbbells then he started muttering something under his breath and walked away. I used wraps once for shrugs and a different powerlifter was like those wraps will damage your wrists, you need to use chalk. I was like oh right yeah, i use chalk for deadlifts and never use straps or anything, just for training traps on shrugs and stuff. He then started staring at me all workout long lol. Then comes the set rushers, I put the dumbbells away and finish early so he can use the flat bench. I walk back to pick up my water after I’ve prepared the flat bench for him and he says “so you finished then or what?”. I hear constant complaining about annoying bodybuilders, but I’ve never found that, only with my gyms powerlifting members lol. I’m sure most are friendly people, but the ones I’ve met have mostly been annoying, whining, complaining, angry and supercilious guys who think they’re the elite of the gym community! lol [/quote]
There are some cool powerlifters on this site.
My question is why did you put up with their bullshit?
If someone gives unwanted advice. Politely tell them to mind their own fucking business.
Most of the PLer’s in my gym are pretty cool. I got a group of them to help out with my dead lift form. They were very helpful. Occasionally we talk about ways to coerce the gym into getting more equipment.
I did run into one guy that was a piece of work.
I’m waiting on a powerack and ask this dumpy PLer how many set’s he’s got.
he says 3by 3. So I decided to wait.
he asks for a spot. so I spot him.
after every set he says god that was easy I’m so strong
then he jabbers away at me about how fucking great PLing is.
More jabber…then he’s like yea I’m 15% bf. I look right at him and tell him no your not.
he claims its from squating…umm no your 20-25% when was the last time you got your bf tested?
no repsonse…
Then this cockmonkey finally gets his shit out of the rack. And starts telling me
It’s my lucky day because he is going to show me how to sumo deadlift.
WTF I put my earbuds in and start doing rack pulls.
he scurrys off in a huff…
People are people. Some good some bad.
