Hogging an equipment while talking to some other frens. DUDE SAVE UR DRAMA AFT WORKOUT, WE WORKOUT NOT TALKOUT.
Theres once, i was using the bench for my set, and when i hit my second set, i put back my dumbell and try to get a heavier one, and guess wat, some dude sit on my bench and start their exercise, my bottle and towel are still beside the bench T.T.

QUOTE(John91 @ Jan 12 2011, 10:43 PM) I can't stand the skinny vain guys though, they are usually the college students who come in a group with their basketball singlets and pants with their tiny twig arms hogging the bench or doing bicep curls. Then doing a 50kg bench for 5 reps and grunting throughout while their friends stand by and cheer him on and one guy spots him (with one arm). These guys only fuel my rage to lift harder though lol. YES EXACTLY! Those group usually only c them once or twice, probably on trial membership. But still, they are annoying

QUOTE(-Dan @ Jan 16 2011, 08:25 PM) I'd rather go with the basketball jerseys. Better to have something big and loose that doesn't bring attention to any part, than something tight that only accentuates certain bumps.  lol, most of the big fella in my gym did tat XD, but ofcoz if those two doesnt exist is still the best XD

QUOTE(janson_kaniaz @ May 29 2011, 10:20 AM) yea sometimes i adjust my time to gym also, just to avoid a few jerks who are ruining my wo like making loud non-funny laughs all the time, or a few of them who occupy the whole machine for a very long time alternatively etc I have those guys in my gym too, if u ever visit true fitness at jaya33, theres a golden hair trainer (quite big) act exactly like how u describe lol. Most of the time they will hog the smith machine so... just try to estimate the time they train and avoid those hour hehe.

QUOTE(kaspersky-fan @ May 29 2011, 05:50 PM) golden hair trainer? never seem to encounter, safe for me  what i dislike about some is they purposely leave something on those equipment, so that they can book them while doing other machines, 2-3 machines placing his stuff... for eg the squat rack, he put his bottle there, the bench he left his towel there... and the pull down machines , his gloves... geez i guess he never learn the word "share". Yes he just dyed his hair not long ago, always hang out with the big guys, or may be he is wearing a beanie or sumthing like tat to cover up hehe. Oh yeah, i hate those superset guy who hog machine too, it takes forever to wait for them....

QUOTE(megat_johan @ Oct 4 2011, 12:07 PM) there's a lot of negativity here. y dont we help out each other at the gym? if they do something wrong, let them know. i'm a newbie, can't afford to buy a PT session, youtube is my guide. i did once using the wrong equipment and no one ever tell me that is wrong. patutlah they all stare at me.. The last time i gave advice, the person gave me a "wtf, go away" look, so after that i decided to keep quiet as i m being too busy body  cant blame us.

So far, I only see one Chinese trainer actually pick up those weight and tidy up the weights early in the morning although he might looks a little sissy but i do respect him. AND ofcoz the noisy seizure golden retrieval is annoying.

QUOTE(razorboy @ Oct 14 2011, 05:37 PM) but i'm no PT and i pick up the weights in my gym. I can't train with all the weights laying around. hehe, the weight in my gym are nasty, the rubber are melted and sticks together which is part of the reason some dude just leave the weight on the bar  For me, most of the time i just keep the weight that i use, sometime just hate that the PT just joking and laughing around instead of doing something that is more sensible.

QUOTE(cyloh @ Oct 17 2011, 10:26 AM) I was warming up yesterday in my condo gym. Finished warm up and was just about to get ready to plow through my main workout. Stood at the corner facing the wall to psyche myself up. 10x10, ok ok I can do this... I'm ready! ............seven high school kids came in and started to train their hip hop dance in front of the mirror at the weights area. 5 more girls joined in to ogle at the boys dancing and toyed around with the machines and weights.... giggling and all. FUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U should serve them some protein fart. lol.
