Things I can't stand at gym:

1) People dropping weights. Very obnoxious.

2) Excessive grunting.

3) Hogging machines. (Spending 10 - 15 minutes on a machine is retarded. Complete your sets and move on)

4) Buff douchebags - Seriously, I see a couple of them right here in this thread. If people are doing bad form, don't just stand at the side and laugh at them with your friend. HELP THEM. If you see someone struggling to complete their sets, it doesn't hurt to help spot for them.

I drop weights.........sometimes. Not uncommon if you don't have a training partner, lift heavy and occasionally work to failure.

U mad bro?

None needed.

But perhaps you should quit with your holier-than-thou attitude while you're not too far behind eh. MAYBE some people use heavier dumbbells than the 20s on incline press.

At my gym there are a group of guys who repeatedly thump the barbell on the floor while doing deadlifts for reps. Its distracting sometimes - but I ain't hatin' on them. We're all brothers in the iron game and I don't disrespect anyone who is putting in the effort and I am not the owner so it isn't my business anyways.

Some ppl drop the dumbell and almost hit other ppl. If u want to drop the weight, make sure far from ppl. Its dangerous la.

That's THROWING the weights. Dropping the weights is completely different.

Its not ideal I admit but it happens.

Some workouts are not exactly solo-friendly. Incline press being a particular standout.
