what happened to gym respect???

[dedprez]

my gym is pretty good about it...but there r always those few...just a few kind words of encouragement by me gets them thinkin to do it next time

I don't mind taking other people's plates off,but what pisses me off is when those who put the barbells away,put them in the wrong place.They just put the barbells away to look like a good person but don't care where they put it.

I've seen people put 40lbs barbells in the place where it shows to put 60lbs barbells,that ticks me off.

Someone should put together a good list of rules and we should all make an effort to enforce them in all our respective gyms. Try and get something started. Ask our gym owner / managers to post them. Basic stuff like re-racking, and respecting peoples space, or asking if a bench is being used before hopping on and doing sets (I can't walk away from my bench to get a drink and some ass is sitting on it or actually starts stripping the bar) At least after we go off on some geek we can point at the sign.

I agree with you bro. There isnt any respect anymore in gyms. There is a very few who know the game and respect. Ive been in the gym where I go and train when at times its leg day for me. I use various equipment machines at times. There are times when Im done with squats, leg extensions, then Im moving on to leg presses or leg curls and there is some out of shape person there who does not know how to use the machine correct and doing these super fast reps without going all the way. Im there waiting for them to come off so I can do some sets along. But no they stay there and see that Im wating, they just blow me off. Im like fuck, these people today dont know how to share. When Im on a machine or using dumbells for instance and a person is there waitng for my set to be over I let them use it with me. Im not a greedy person when it comes to things like this.

COOL,I wish everyone in the gym was like you then.I know the feeling you're talking about.

Personally I think every gym should have one section for just the stupid and another for the smart,sensible,caring,respecting people.

This way everyone's happy.

Mind you they should do same thing for driving on our roads in Vancouver,this way all the stupid people kill each other and us smart drivers have nothing to worry about.

After all retards have rights too.
