@Pyrogram: It counts as me grunting, growling, and throwing sh*t. And blasting whatever I'm listening to music wise to zone out.

So no :P.

@Pyrogram: Not completely true, in a fight you can use the belt to smack the DUDE OVER THE HEAD!, actually maybe a leather and metal belt would work better, I have much do ponder in the cave. hmm

@Pyrogram: I would have bet money too but I lost it all trying to fight a mugger using a Karate belt.

Much to ponder.

Not that I go but I've heard that one of the most annoying things are the people that work out and stare at themselves in the mirror.

Actually some research has shown tensing muscles creates more time under tension so increases results.

What does tensing up have to do with staring at yourself in the mirror?

And, on topic, I personally dislike the people who sing along with their music while they work out.

  1. All the people looking at my guns. Guns don't kill people, but my guns make people (mostly straight woman and gay guys, but many lesbians and straight guys too) faint! Which can be as deadly depending on where they faint.
  2. All the people who act annoyed when I give them extremely helpful fitness and general lifestyle advice. Geez talk about not appreciating the fact I talk to them let alone give up my time and my expertise to show them how to better their pathetic existence's. Plus sometimes its just faster to grab peoples body parts and move them into position on machines forcibly against their will so they understand they were doing it wrong and how they should do it properly.
  3. All the sexual harassment lawsuits and restraining orders.
  4. All that fruity pop techno dubstep crap they play on the loud speakers. I only like to tame my pythons to Scottish Interpretative Instrumental Bagpipes Death Metal.
  5. Dress codes. I like to work out as nature intended. Naturally. With artificial weights and machines.
  6. People (mostly straight woman and gay guys, but many lesbians and straight guys too) wanting to touch me inappropriately and slapping my various chiseled to perfection body parts. I am like a Greek stature of a Greek god, wait two Greek gods rolled up and mashed together poured into one Greek stature made of marble and tan spray. I am art, you wouldn't slap the stature of David on the butt would you? STOP OBJECTIFYING ME!

This made my Comic Vine day.

@DarkxSeraph: Nothing. But most people tense when they stare in the mirror as it helps tense specific muscles rather than doing it without looking.

1. People that don't follow the rules. Like, for gods sake, rack the weights back where you got them, I get annoyed when I'm weakened and I have to take off 50kgs off the bench.

2. When I'm waiting for a machine and the person using it is just sitting down watching the 20 TV's mounted on the walls.

3. I grunted pretty loud by purpose haha. Just sayin'. Good prank.

People.

  • I didn't come to the gym to talk with you.
  • If I want your advice I'll ask you.
  • There is no prize for being the 10,000th guy to say 'Hey you should use less weight and do more reps!'
  • Don't talk to me.
  • Clean up your own sweat.
  • Put everything back where you found it.
  • Seriously. Leave me alone.

People. That is the reason why I brought my own work out equipment and just work out at home. Took a bit of money, but the investment was worth it.

Heh, a lot of those posts make me grateful that my gym's pretty quiet and peaceful, with no unnecessary interruptions. Granted, I tend to go there during slow hours....

@god_spawn: Oh, we have people grunting and growling while working out, but earphones block all that out. If you blast music in the workout area though, two burly instructors will toss your ass out.

@citizenbane: I have my volume usually up near all the way, but my headphones don't project it all too well so it's pretty quiet for others. No harm no foul.

I always do that thing when I take out my Headphones to see if anyone can hear them in case they are too loud.

Getting intimidated, pretty easily ... Especially the guys the with big guns. I still go everyday of the week, except weekends, I save those for runs.

I don't know, I get nervous, to scared to make those grunting noises, with is not preventable at all. I don't know why people get annoyed at the grunting, it's a natural thing to to, just like tennis players ... Sharapova not counted, to overboard.

I hate it when it's packed, no space to do a proper workout ... I love personal training though, good pushing workout. ;]

@laflux: I just kind of know from the headphones I use if it will project and every pair I have had did a good job at keeping things minimal. I know the instances of which the likes CB is talking about, though. And that can be kind of annoying, but I use a pair of stereo headphones so it keeps my sounds in and everyone else's out. Plus, earbuds just kept falling out for me or breaking too easily.

I hate going in there as a regular human being and feeling intimidated to not coming back because of those 500 pound steroid monsters.

That idiot who:

  1. Thinks your'e his homie and comes up and talks to you between every exercise
  2. Tells you the same stupid nonsense every week about how they can't gain weight on their stick figure because they focus too much on cardio and dieting while simultaneously admitting they ignore all new advice others have given them to bulking up.
  3. Asking for advice only to argue against the advice given (This comes after no. 2).
  4. Tries to give you unwanted tips while you're actually doing your set, instead of after, even though its a matter of preference and not a matter if injury or form. Not to mention The fact i can out-lift him by 2-3 times for most exercises.

Yes the most annoying guy I've ever met goes to my gym. And I think going to tell him to stop bothering me from now on...pretty much everyone else at the gym has, which is probably why he comes to me.

There is nothing more annoying than watching someone using his cellphone more time that the duration of their workouts.

People who hog the bench-press because they can't decide how much weight to use.

Really loud people are also terrible.

People who benches the bar alone.

People who leave the machines soaking wet.

Working out at home is the best.

People who bounce the weights.

People who wait too long between sets.

1. When people wont let me work in on a machine - I understand if you're doing time sensitive sets but if I see you cooling down for 30 seconds+ why not let me get my set in??!

2. When people refuse to spot - Do they not have gym etiquette??

3. People who get attitudes when I try to help them - I worked in a gym for close to 2 years, and ive been going to gyms frequently since I was 17. If I see you arching the hell out of your back when you bench, im gonna say something! Take my advice!

4. People who leave weights lying around - Huge pet peeve of mine. The way I see it, putting the weights back is a little workout of its own. Plus leaving them around is just lazy.

5. When people brag about their workouts - There is a difference between informing and bragging

6. People who think theyre too good for cardio - Seriously?

7. Out of shape people who brag! - Had to put more emphasis on this because it really annoys me and I currently have a friend who won't shut up about how much he 'loves' running when this dude just started 2 months ago. Oh, and this pisses me even more because i'm still not allowed to run until next week after a 3 month hiatus....... Again, difference between informing and bragging.

Lol one time, I asked this guy to spot me.

He was pretty skinny, and I was doing 225 or 245, so I asked his friend to also spot me the otherside.

He was like, "Its not good to have people spot like this because its offbalance"

I stare.

"You should only do weight you can do" "No, you do weight that challenges you. That's why I asked for you two to spot....*confused*"

I'm on the bench about to do it, suddenly he's like, "you know, I'm actually not comfortable doing this" and walks off abruptly leaving his friend. I'm so stunned, I just kind of stare. His friend's like, "Sorry, I'm new here" and walks off. I shake my head, and ask a another guy a bench over to spot me. And then do it for 3 reps.

I sneer every time I see him in the gym.(Unsurprisingly, he still looks skinny like hes never touched a weight in his life)

Most annoying are people who try to stare you down at the gym(though that rarely happens)....Aint nobody care enough to make extended eye contact with you. ; )
