yes...the most stupid thing ppl has done in the gym...

saw an uncle (around 40++)...singing bilie jean when workout (on mp3 player)..and his LCLY face is damn funny..

and those machine lurker..i am not sure they forget to take their towel or purposely hang the towel there to hog the machine...it's damn annoying..

wow how did this get to 120 views so fast

I'm a grunter. But only when there's absolutely nobody else around.

There's a ton of no towel guys in my gym. All the benches are soaking wet after they've gone through with them. There was even this uncle once who came in straight from the pool, wrapped only in his towel and dripping water everwhere, swung some 10lb DBs around and walked right out leaving a trail of water behind him.

zzzz

i dun wan go gym

LOL damn right...should add one more, don't be that guy who always handle things with no-care...make the gym sound like a metal factory...once broken, buat tak reti je blah...

be a grunter is ok.. but not too loud

mirror flexer is ok.. as long as not purposely show off lah

.... or sound like having orgasm/giving birth....

Hello fellow grunter I would like to be your friend.

dont be that guy/girl (usually girl) using the weight machine like using the cardio. use puny weight and leg press for 10-15 minutes non stop. Better go jogging or stairclimber.

Hahahahaha just for the lulz!

I'm also the no towel guy, but whenever I'm done, I'll get some tissue to wipe it off.

can add in, spotter dun drip ur sweat to the lifter's face during bench press. ><

please la get yourself a towel....you know what is environment friendly or not?

I'm the definitely the machine lurker. Leg extension and lat pulldowns are my haunts.

feeling proud with your act eih?..

HAHAH.. so funny!

Hmm.. not a grunter, but yesterday I was a bit of a sobbing-blubbering baby, so to my fellow gym-ers, sorry bout that . Be assured that it was an extremely RARE occassion though. heh.

And leave Mr. Flexer/ Poser/ Poyo/ Bicep-Kisser/ Mirror-Worshipper alone! He's not bothering anyone so mind your own business yeah? RaaRRR!!!

Am I the only one that read this one wrong?

nope, u didnt read it wrong...
for goodness sake, get a towel zeist.
i freaking hate ppl that sweats and doesnt use any towel.
it really pissed me off when i see those disgusting sweats on any of those benches.
freaking idiots...
i did once scolded a damn idiot guy who does the same.
i straight say at his face. "r u an idiot? think la who else wanna use this bench after u sweat like this... next time bring a god damn towel or else dont come in here again" he said sorry and i walked off. =.=
he was scared i guess, coz i never seen him in the gym anymore.
hahaha...

Nasty

You rike seeing Flexers eh?

You dirty minded only.

Hey hey! he said tissue and wipe in the same sentence!

How about the dude that fiddles on his PDA/mobile phone/what have you gadget while sitting on a machine doing nothing.

Or the group of friends whom decided to do some bonding together by occupying several machines and using them as makeshift benches and yak yak yak all day without using them

and that reminds me, the 'gotong-royong dude' (i made this term up)

What happens is these group of dudes use one machine (e.g. fly machine) first dude sets it to some ridiculous weight. When i say ridiculous i mean it is obvious he cannot lift that weight. What happens is that another 2 dudes spot for him right off the bat.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a spotter is there is help in case there is a slip up, or during the routine from 1-10, you're struggling at the 9th cycle, he's there to help you finish the lap correct? So yeah, this one all gotong-royong and use the machine at the same time thinking that they're great lifting XXX weight

I see gotong royong all the time in the gym. Hah hah!

The gym owner is typically working her rows & deadlift on the bench press, tethered double squatting on the smith matchine, the hammock curl while spotting.

Hammock curls = 2 persons face-to-face, the spotter lift the weight up together with the trainee & it looks like a hammock. =P

that's the funny part..saw a big fat guy with very big belly tug out..doing some very heavy weight...he seem like very struggle to lift it up...end up the spotter help him to lift...really dunno what's the point they doing that...if you cant lift so heavy..then just forget about it...

what's the point of lifting 100kg but most of the time..you ask the spotter to help you lift pula

feel really ghey for me....or maybe they really a couple???

there is a idiot in my gym doing the same as well.
taking weights he can only do half form.
looking at him doing all the exercises makes me irritated.
damn arrogant idiot...
his squat is not even half squat... he takes massive weights... but incomplete workout... all do halfway or less than half...
its just one quarter squat... =.=
told him off, he say he know he know, but he dont care...
so i dont give a damn bout him anymore...
he always take heavy weights to do, but swinging his whole body while doing it... even cable rows, he push his body front, then kick all the way back... damn idiot... try to show off but looking stupid

There's a skinny kid in my gym, now I don't have anything against skinny people in the gym, we all got to start somewhere. Hell I used to be 183cm tall and 57kg, and people called me 2 dimensional.

Anyway, the guy is a massive attention seeker. He will grunt and shout like nobody's business, as if his father owns the gym. Sometimes I'm upstairs with my ipod on and I can still here him grunting all the way from the bottom.

Today was worse, he brought a friend with him. Of course he wants to show off with friends, so he loaded the bar slightly heavier. So fcuking annoying.

The thing is, while he's all caught up in impressing people about 'how much he lifts', his physique has not changed at all for 6 months +.

Some people...........

Take a chill pill guys. We were all once newbies. I used to do less than parallel squats for the first 3 months with horrid form. Everyone will soon learn.

Talk about grunt, i have came across this dude, who listen to his own music and when he do the bicep curl, he start to talk to himself "yess, come on, 3 more reps yeah go, YEAHH", tat was quite loud as i can hear him without any difficulties. Aft tat i just go to some oth spots, infurior by his acts.

Haha. I can relate to that. Like mofonyx said, we were all newbies. Heck, I still am!

I'm probably breathes-heavy-like-a-hippo guy. Must get breathing pattern right...damnit...

haha at least somebody wants to learn.
the guy in my gym, doesnt bother learning.
he think he is right...
zzzzz... if u see him, u will feel he is an arrogant b*tch

I grunt and mirror pose.. guilty as charged

So what if I don't? You have a problem? Who are you to tell me what to do?

Don't act like a pro here. How I train, how I use the machine or what, you don't have to teach me. Why because you are full of crap. I'm sick and tired of all your "acting big" in forum, go get a life.

you talking bout yourself?

I think a bottle of Febreeze is a good addition to any gym bag.

Nah, chill man.
He was just pissed off at another person who doesn't wipe off after they use a bench.

No need to feel too personal.

Anyway, it's good habit to wipe off your sweat after you use it. It's really irritating. Don't be like China man. Dumbbells + barbells littered all over the floor... it's like doing an obstacle course just to move from 1 place to another.
If you try to talk them into being considerate, they get pissed off and talk bad about you, then never return to the gym again.

I kesian the gym lady who has to pick up and put ALL the dumbbells back to the rack every night. She probably deadlifted + farmer walked a totally of 300kg every evening.

haha me acting big? =.=
haha... look at urself for the pass few month dude...
boasting around saying u can lift this and that.
but where is it? dont just talk only... go freaking do it.
i still remember clearly, u boasted u can deadlift 140kg without using strap and all...
but now have u even done that?
and, after darklight and the rest commented bout ur attitude, u ran off and hide on one corner.
now that he is missing in action, u come here act big?
oh get a life dude...
so wat if u dont? i dont give a damn coz i am not in the same gym as u...
if u think its a nice way to go around with it, so be it... end of the day, i have nth to lose, u got... =.=

lol, first time seeing JonYeap snapping off. chill bro. chill

anyway, it IS unethical not to use a towel and not wiping your sweat off after using a bench or machine etc. i said unethical, not wrong. so, yeah, figure it out by yourself. we are civilized ppl. we can think for ourselves what good and whats not.

haha... i dont usually snap off unless someone like him commented something like that.
been holding back for sometime already.
will chill out... hehe...
yeah... very unethical is the right word... its not our gym, so go figure boy...
and more over, u r a christian zeist...

It's just civic consciousness. Simple rule really. If you don't appreciate it if certain people do certain things, then just make sure you don't do it.

E.g. If I don't appreciate how some people throw the weights around or let the machines bang (suddenly let go) then I don't do it.

Same principle to the owner of the gym. If I don't appreciate patrons spoiling or abusing my machines, then when I use the machines, use em properly - not making the gym like some haeavy industrial metallurgy factory

Oh yeah, use a towel, seriously. Its not just for other people's benefit, its for your own good. Imagine a gym where nobody uses a towel.

Just think of all the bodily fluids being shared between the people using the equipment. Imagine all the bacteria, funguses and other happy surprises waiting to be spread.

At least if you use a towel, you can minimise contact with the equipment, and prevent your sweat from mixing with whatever's left over on the bench (thus preventing it from being 'picked up').
