Ugh

God I hate gym "browsers". Gotta workout this morning to pick up our guest instructor from Iowa putting on a seminar at our dojo this morning and I'm surrounded by the slow mo cardio crowd who've wandered into the weight area and decide to wander from station to station throwing 40 on the weight stack to do a leg extension set before meandering over to the pulldown for a set of 10 with 30 pounds then the incline bench for a set with a couple 10s on the bar then standing there reading the instructions on the preacher machine while I'm in the middle of my 3rd set of 5 sets and asks if I mind if they work in.

I was that guy at one point

And I'm proud to say I kicked the habit lol...And they get so damn annoyed when you politely ask them to move the f*ck on lol

Re: Ugh

I never ask someone to work in. I dont even ask someone how many sets they have left. If they are near a machine or station and not using it i will ask if they are using it but thats it. People have no respect and only think about them selves. I go out of my way to do my own thing and not bother other people. I am starting to think most people go out of there way to do the exact opposite.

Re: Ugh

I will ask how many sets do you have left and if I know they have been on it for a while and say "3 more sets", I will put my gym bag down and stand there and watch them finish...speeds them up quite a bit, or they just walk away. Then there are the others who leave their plates on and I say "HEY!!! Gee let me take all your plates off for you and put them away" loud enough for everyone around me to hear me with my deafening voice lol...have to put these people on notice, teach them gym etiquette... sometimes it takes tough love .

Re: Ugh

I will say this though, I got accused by some douche bag of texting at the gym a while back. I log all my workouts on my phone in between sets and it looks just like I'm texting. So I would just say don't necessarily assume someone is texting.

Re: Ugh

I will be honest i text at the gym but 99% of the time its at the water fountain in between workouts. not after one set then make my workout double the time so i cant text. the only time i touch my phone during a workout is to change the song since i use pandora sometimes you get total vibe killers thrown into the mix haaha
