I know this has been done before, but I just wanted to share my top 6 list.
-
Partial Rep Pros i.e. Ego Super Stars - People who NEVER use full range of motion. You’re not that strong; you can’t bench 315 to depth and if you do, you bounce it off your chest and then have your spotter curl the bar off of you.
-
The C.A.B. Crew - You get to the gym, do a set of Curls, a set of Abs a set of Bench and call it a day.
-
Cardio Addicts - People that ONLY do cardio because according to them, if they even LOOK at a weight wrong, they’ll explode and become the next Mr or Ms. Olympia. Oh and of course, doing cardio is the most effective way to lose fat, duh.
-
Ostrich Syndrome - You look like you lift weights at first glance, but that’s only because you’ve been part of the C.A.B. crew for the past 10 years and successfully created an optical illusion. If someone told you to squat or do one of it’s variations, you would tell them you would, but it’s bad for your knees. You prefer to train your legs on the elliptical or recumbent bike while reading GQ Magazine.
-
The Belted Warrior - Why are you wearing a belt during your set of curls? If you’re using your back THAT much, you’re probably not strong enough to use that weight.
-
The Etiquette Challenged - Yes, I’m still using that piece of equipment, my belt and water bottle are 1 inch from it and my sweat is still on it. Yes, I’m planning to use that 45 lbs plate, please don’t take it off during the MIDDLE of my set. Go get that one from the Smith Machine that’s 3 feet away. Why wouldn’t you do that in the first place? No one is on it! You want to know how many sets of squats I still have left in the rack? Quite a few, why what are you planning to do? Curls and Pullups?! Here’s a tip, if you can pick the bar up off the ground, you don’t need the rack! There’s also 6 other stations you can use that are SPECIFICALLY BUILT for pullups!!! Please put your weights away when you’re done, consider it part of your workout.[/quote]
Points 1 to 5 are bullshit because it’s none of your goddamn business how other people lift. You have no right to be annoyed.
Point 6 is bullshit because even though you feel hardcore being the solemn monk in the temple of iron benching 225, if another person wants to work in, let them! If stripping off a plate or 2 is too much to ask for, then maybe you’re not cut out for this.
I award you zero points. You get nothing, you lose! Good day, Sir! [/quote]
Thank you for taking an interest and actually commenting on my list kid. I never said any of these things were “my business”. I simply said that they’re things that annoy me and I don’t need anyone’s permission, let alone some kid to be annoyed by something.
Now to address your response. Point 1 is not bullshit. Someone that ONLY does partials clearly has no idea what they’re doing in the weight room. It’s one thing if they’re strategically worked into a program, but if that’s the way you perform EVERY SINGLE REP, for every exercise, you’re an idiot. Which by association makes you a moron for disagreeing with Point 1. Let me guess, you’re one of the idiots I made mention of? You put 315 on bench and proceed to grind out quarter reps? Here, let me direct you to someone you would probably get along with quite well with then:
Meet adarqui, you and he seem to have quite a lot in common.
Point 5. Also, not bullshit. I can understand if a person wants to use a belt for things that require the USE OF YOUR BACK, but if you’re curling a 45 lbs olympic bar and need the use of a belt, you’re an idiot. Congratulations, this once again makes you a moron for disagreeing with Point 5.
Point 6. Reading comprehension. Where did I make mention of benching at all, let alone benching a measly 225? The situation I was actually referring to was me squating in the rack which if you read on, should be crystal fuckin clear. Also, I made NO god damn mention of someone wanting to work in with me. I stated that SOMEONE TRIED TO REMOVE MY PLATES MID SET THAT I WAS USING to use on the smith machine which was fully loaded with plates of it’s own.
Nice work making yourself look silly. I look forward to your second attempt.[/quote]
Ha! I’ll bite.
First off, your reading comprehension is off. You need new glasses, old man?
Sure, you don’t need my permission to be annoyed at something, gramps. You can sit on your porch all day long and yell at those spooks and how they’re bringing down the neighborhood, old guy.
What I wanted to point out by stating so eloquently that points 1 to 5 are considered bovine excrement is that none of these things affect YOU PERSONALLY, old man! If someone is wasting their time at the gym, let them be!! It’s not like they would listen to your advice anyways!
So lighten up and “pray for the patience to accept things you cannot change” instead of being an angry old man. [i] <— [/i] my point for emphasis
Other senior citizen members such as BG and the Chicken preach minding your own business lest you want the sound of a Tec-9 (something like come uncomfortably close to where you sleep.
About the etiquette point:
It is written here, clear as crystal: “Yes, I’m still using that piece of equipment, my belt and water bottle are 1 inch from it and my sweat is still on it.”
Your old-man, old ball sweat does not reserve a bench, just like your ugly ass towel does not reserve you an exclusive all-day pass to that beach chair at the resort.
Seriously, what the fuck is it with men trying to “mark their territory” in the public sphere as if the stuff fucking belongs to them??
About the squatting situation: What is the harm of letting people work in, regardless of the exercise they choose? The person who asked probably saw an old man squatting 135lbs and politely asked if they could work in to do curls with that weight. Don’t you rest between sets? Just tell them: “In those 2 minutes between where I’m not standing there with 135lbs on my back shaking uncontrollably and screaming as if I were to give birth, you can have at it”.
Oh, and next time, try to actually move the weight during your sets (up and down, you know) so that people won’t take off plates because all they see is an old man hanging limp on the piece of equipment not moving anything.[/quote]
Hilarious! The part that I enjoyed the most is where you act as though you’re some kind of monster yet have no pics or stats. You must be some kind of physical phenom with the way I see you put everyone in their place on the forum.
Also, instead of addressing my points and further proving that you’re a moron, you go on and on about 28 years of age being old (laughable) and then flatter me by quoting from my profile.
Why don’t you put me in my place and show me how weak I am by posting some pics of yourself so we can all be in awe of your great stature?[/quote]
There ya go! This is me carb depleted!
Also, congrats on going full retard!
My 2nd response was very balanced, yet you blew all over it in a sex-deprived Internet rage.
First, please outline where I act like a monster (I know you won’t be able to, but I’ll wait).
Secondly, your profile is on private so I can’t see your age or any quotes (are you referring to the "courage blah blah change blah blah patience - change one?).
As the fool that you are you missed my point that I don’t disagree with your points 1 to 5, or more accurately, with the contents of them, but that they are bullshit because they are …

^ That is my point about your points, capisce?
Oh and you’re a Level 4 which means that you spend a shit-ton on supplements yet you probably look like shit. But Oh, that’s right; you don’t have any pictures up because your camera broke, amirite?
Which leads us to a call-out pissing match!
If you really want to witness the thickness please call me out in a separate thread titled “Dre The Hatchet, how do you train?” where you can cry about being mentally raped by me.
I will be happy to answer any questions concerning my training, diet and of course, post some pictures.
You might wanna wait just a day or 2 so I can collect some more pictures from a recent holiday trip to an undisclosed area in North Africa “Hotter than the sand, bigger than the ocean!”
P.S: Good job on not responding to the “letting people work in”-issue. What’s the matter, no counter-argument, old weak man?
