So im working out on sat with 98DSM.. ( who is 6'8") doing curls at the Cable machine in the middle of the gym.. keep in mind there is a COMPLETE 2nd setup right next to it which is an identical cable setup....
So we have a few sets left.. and we go to get water.. I leave my phone and small tupperware with chalk in it right next to the machine. We are gone not 30 seconds.. and some jack ass has moved in and is warming up to do pullups ( the pull up bar is on top of the cables machine). I select my weight and it looks like he is moving, so i step back to do my curls. I look back and he is standing there with the deer in headlights look.. i say " excuse me" and turn back.. he DOESNT move and instead goes off with " Well DONT let me get in your way" so, i say " I wont.. we where here first.. and i DID say excuse me" and go on with my lifting.. he walked off mumbling some crap and throwing his shit around.. i think he said something about " not seeing my crap" ..
if someone is at the machine first.. i ALWAYS wait till they are done and leave.. and ask if they are done when they get up.. because i know i like to drink ALOT of water... this ass hole didnt really piss me off.. i was more amused that this 190lbs shrimp mouthed off.. i dont let people like this phase me so i just laughed it off.. but do you guys get ppl like this in your gyms?? I guess some people have something to prove... If he wanted to get physcialy im sure he would have spoken up.. and i would have been more then happy to oblige.. but why get all pissy over a machine that was already being used and had someone elses stuff on it ???
I laughed at the idiot and finished my set.. some ppl should just be slapped..

D.
rant over.

Thats why working out at home is so much better! You do your workout, shower, and then go on with your life.

I normally Share a machine in btw sets... like i'll do a set then they can jump on and bust out a set, then swap... no point in holding the machine while i'm just sitting there... but in htis case, with a identical machine right there he's an idiot

not to mention he's a moron for talking shit to you when you've got over 50lbs on him - most of it muscle - haha

I hate when people are rude like that.

Next time but his weight on the machine and curl it,then ask him if he wants in and when he sees how much is on there hell run like the sissy he is:D

I had a little guy ask me how many pullups I could do.
I said whats the point.He said I can do 3 sets of 10.

I told him well strap 80lbs to your ass see how many he could do and then come back and ask me that:)

He said you can do that??????We put the belt on with a 25lb plate and he did one:D

I said just 50 more lbs and youll be up to what I weigh.Then did 4 wide grip pullups:cool:

Forgot how hard those things are:eek:

i don't mind waiting either.....what drives me nuts is when some jackoff leaves his shit near a machine, does one set and then goes off to another machine halfway across the gym and disappears for 15 minutes......so i go ahead and get on the machine......they come back looking dumbfounded......don't just leave your shit and disappear for 15-20 minutes and try and hog the equipment!

That's almost as bad as those jackasses that do a set and then walk off to the water fountain thinking that their towel or chalk container denotes some personal claim to a machine in a public gym.:rolleyes:

i understand doing some circuit training or something, but take your stuff with you- it is like the old ladies in vegas hogging 3 slot machines at a time while people are waiting......it is just rude. If you aren't planning to use the machine for the next 5 minutes, then move your stuff somewhere else!

That is the gym that I work out at too. People are pretty good about respecting other people's space, but what I hate is when the gym is packed and some guy is swapping back and forth between stations taking them both up! :mad:

BTW, That gym is almost ALWAYS packed :(

can't we all just get along... :p

i've workout in place that were so packed that if u left for a sec you'd lose the machine, but if the place is not that packed and there is an identical machine right next to the one u were using... i'd have to say the guy was just not too observent...
he should have just moved on over to the other machine without makin all the noise...!

some people's pride gets in the way of their logical thinking and then they have to huff and puff about there lil simple human mistake...
he should not have made such a big deal out of it... IMO

I always have the "black hole" syndrome. There's a towel sitting there on a machine I need to use, and after waiting for a few minutes, I just say to hell with it, do my sets, and then go on. 45 minutes later...the towel is still there. Person must have gotten sucked into a black hole. And if it's not a towel it's a full water bottle. I guess people around here are so rich they can just leave their shit all over the place and then just walk out without it.

yeah man if you leave the machine its free game. You're the jerk for trying to reserve a weight machine when you were off doing something else. If there were 2 identical machines why couldn't you proceed to use the other machine when you noticed he was there? Cause you're stubborn! Stubborn as a donkey...and what does donkey translate into through a series of slang transformations ? thats right you said it yourself, an ass. Learn how to workout in the presence of other people. The standard rule to me is if you can add wieght to it you can take it. Or if you have balls enough to take a weight machine from a stronger guy go at it.

LOL.. this is the MOST RETARDED shit i have read in a long time.. i dont know how i missed it.. if i take a BREATHER in between sets to go get some water.. i NO WAY am i giving up the bench.. or machine.. and i have NEVER EVER been to a gym where that is the case.. i would like to see you go unstack Ronnies weights when he is taking a water break.

lol..

HE RIGHT, when both of you walk away its free to any to use, there is no holding equipment when you walk off cause people walking to it dont know that you (if they did not see you using it) you were using it or are done w/ it, waht you should have you and your buddy should took turns going and getting water letting one of yous at the station, (that guy might have thought that you were being a smart ass, next time be polite, and ask if he wants to take turns, or told him that you were almost finished or just walk to another station and go back when he was finshed,dont take anything the wrong way, in a way you yourself were RUDE

whatever 30 sec is nothing! it is basically the rest in between reps.. get over it! That guy is probably the type that just goes to the gym to say he goes everyday.. runs around the track when people see him and stops when no one is looking! You know when people are done. I say that guy was being a jerk off! IMO!!

hes and idiot.. have you ever lifted real weights?? you need a REST.. I had my phone, my chalk and my towel on the machine.. that means " the machine is taken".. so if i walk off to go find more weight for the bench press.. any shrimp can take it over?? get a clue.. you have NO idea about gym etiquette.. if someones gear is on a machine.. its TAKEN.. why would i take turns?? i was there first.. and there was a nother pullup bar he could have used.. I was VERY polite.. the dude was on the machine that my stuff was on. and i said " excuse me, we are using this" he mouthed off to me.. not me to him...
