When you're in the gym...

I don't correct anyone. They get fucking butt hurt if you do. So fuck you I hope you hurt yourself.

And I wish I could just avoid people but I've been at my gym for a while so I know everyone and id kinda be a jackass if I didn't tell people hi.

I just jam to my iPod, pack on the weight, and go to town...

That's how it's done!

all the time.almost on a daily basis in life,never mind the gym,lol.got this one dude in my gym,mid 40ish,big ass and i mean for a dude he's got a huge ass,overall body is like a small tank but sloppy.might've had a solid build back in the day but now,no way...especially the way he walks into the joint.sleeves cut off his shirts,sweats pulled up to his stomach,carried around a belt,wraps,wrist supports and never uses them.will load up 2 plates on each side of the smith and do what looks like some type of semi squat-good morning hybrid move yet only moves the bar a few inches.don't even think it travels from one peg to the next.then he'll proceed to pile on another plate on each side,no rest between sets and bangs out another 10-12 reps until he's got like 5 plates and can barely get the bar unlocked.

after that mess he goes to the seated hammer shoulder press.same thing.moves it only about a foot from the starting point and just piles on 45's with no rest.from there he does tricep push downs with the worst form i've ever seen and finally front lat pulldowns with as much weight as his squishy fat corpulent body can pull once he takes his seat and proceesd to rock his entire body to move the stack.only pulls with his arms until he gets to 1/4 to his body.then rushes out.might be in there a total of 15minutes.

i gotta ask him next time,wtf are you doing?! where and who taught you how to do these movements?! dude just irks me cause he's always got this fucking face on like in his mind people are gonna bother him during his grueling workout and ask for advice so he's always rushing around like he's on speed and will never speak.even if you ask him if he's finally done with the smith he just walks away.wish i could see into peoples heads,see where their logic comes from,how they think,how they make decisions on a day to day basis cause the average person to me is pretty much retarded...

Or when the new year hits and there are all the sudden 100 more members who immediately drop off in 2 weeks.

^^^This ALWAYS gets me here, every piece of equipment is a damn chair for them...9-10 are gone before the next months pymt is due. During this time of the year I've learned to readjust my schedule at go in when the gym first opens in the morning.
Those who are there this time of the day are dedicated and the regular crowd anyhow, i just feel rushed tryin to get through my workout an off to start the work day.

As the others go, I don't try and correct people unless I'm approached...iPod is on and I'm at work...hell I don't know but a few people's name guess I'm not that friendly lol.

I'm not either. People probably think I'm an asshole. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm trying to get my workout in. And a 5 minute conversation can knock you off focus and fuck w your intensity if you are in a groove.

At least they had to sign a contract. Someone has to pay the electric bill. ^^

When I see the type of guy that you are talking about, my first, knee-jerk reaction is to say to myself "what a fucking d-bag, guy has no clue what he's doing". Then, I stop myself, and think "you know, GS, you were like this guy one time, you were 135 lbs, running around a month after you started lifting thinking you were the shit because you could see a bulge on your tricep. You hit on girls indiscriminately. You had no fucking clue what you were doing, Mr. GS Racer." After I remind myself of where I started, and what I was like 8 years ago, I change my tune, and I stop scowling and putting my head down, and introduce myself with a smile to these new guys. Maybe because of that, they will ask me questions, and maybe they will figure out what it takes for them to realize their potential. Most likely, this will not happen, and they will continue being ineffectual in their workouts, and will continue to not know how to earn the respect of guys that have put in the time and research that it requires to not look like a fucking douche. But, maybe they will man up, and who am I to write them off before they have the chance. Just remember yourself when you started. Man, I was d-bag...

Now, that said, If someone is genuinely being an asshole, not out of lack of knowledge or insecurity, but out of straight maliciousness, then they deserve whatever comes their way.
