I-Jo Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 So. Doing some DL yesterday- there were two of us- we were respectively behind the two squat racks. Third guy was on the leg press or hack squat behind us- not sure- whatever close proximity - he had previously been squatting something stupid like 315 or 365 full depth- so all of us are pretty "on the level" Anyway- I'm resting- Paul- other deadlift dude was working. Don't know exactly what Venzeualan dude was doing- he was just there and in on the after joke. Fourth dude- we shall call him <the jackass> was between Paul and I to the chalk (which is between us at kind of a station where it hangs out. The <jackass> chalks up.Claps his hands- mightily- and yes- chalk went EVERYWHERE. Immediately turns and walks past Paul as he is lowering the weight- right through his space. again- jackass. And of course I started coughing. Loudly. And we all just turn and were like WTF DUDE . Completely unaware. And then we all proceeded to watch him walk around the gym all the way to the "stretching" arch- the thing with all the rails and foot pads to do some hanging stretches and flat stretches. It was. just. oiy.vey. so- remember folks- remember to chalk up before you stretch. 4 Link to comment
Dleffe Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ah so many people to put on the list, so few places to hide the bodies. Yesterday at the gym while squatting see a couple guys deadlift something round 250lbs, dreadfull form. I usually try not to correct anyone, although I'll point it out discreetly to the trainer so he can at least attempt to keep his customers from injuring themselves. That aside while I'm finishing up with my benches those same guys are squatting (halfsquats...) in the smith machine while making fun of a girl deadlifting because it was 'only' 100lbs compared to their 250lbs. Really grated on my nerves cause at least she had perfect form. It's a good thing my younger and calmer brother was there to make me think twice before I smacked those assholes with a plate. So I told them they should try to stop looking like Quasimodo while deadlifting before picking on someone else. This seemed to hurt their pride, (un)fortunately they felt the need to puf up and tell me to show em how its done if I could do better. Glad I'm up to 330lbs by now, cause it really shut em up. Now I can only hope it will stick so they keep their opinions to themselves. 9 Link to comment

He'll probably end up continuing with that negative attitude. When ever I use chalk, I try to keep my hands inside whatever container the chalk is being held in. Don't clap the hands together, just rub them together, that way I'm not going to give myself or anyone else a coughing fit. Link to comment

Raev Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I often clap my hands when I chalk. It's part of my "prepping the mind" routine going into a heavy lift. However, 90% of the time when I get to my gym I am the only one near the power rack or deadlift platform. The only person that the chalk gets on is me. If someone else happens to be back there, I just don't clap. level 4 Gnoll warrior STR 6|DEX 5|STA 4|CON 5|WIS 5|CHA 2 Building a better Raev, part 1.

Obitim Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 It's been quiet on here recently! Went to the gym on Wednesday, finished my workout and at the end was grabbing my gear to go home and hear 2 dudes chatting in the changing room in what can only be considered to be a d**k swinging contest... Bloke 1 speaking about how he lost his weight, enjoys running and wants to go on resistance training bloke 2 (who's a heavier set guy, looks like he carries a lot of muscle) - then says he does a lot of running and enjoys the weights more bloke one then brags about how you know he enjoys running as he was on the treadmill for 37 minutes bloke 2 then speaks about how he goes on the treadmill at level 8 (no idea what level 8 is TBH) as that's enough for him Bloke 1 then says level 8 was ok but he prefers level 9 Bloke 2 then utters the immortal words 'yeah, I can do level 9 but level 8 is better for me as I'm building muscle and don't want to lose too much mass' (which is fair enough, we've all got our own goals and so set our training methods accordingly) I almost felt like saying 'alright lads, why don't you just whack em out on the bench and measure'... 1 Link to comment
Maledictus Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I almost felt like saying 'alright lads, why don't you just whack em out on the bench and measure'...I would, but I snapped a bench in half last time I did that and the owner will throw me out if it happens again... 6 "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself" -- TolstoyNot sure if it was buzz or woody that said it though.

Dleffe Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hm I forgot about this one.There is this old powerlifter (claims he used to, looks like he used to) except he keeps going on about how he prefers the smith machine and never does full reps cause he's old and fears for his knees and back. I figure telling him the truth isn't gonna do much good, old dogs and new tricks you know xD Link to comment
