Discovered a new pet peeve today...the former (he claims) personal trainer who won't shut the f*&% up while you are in the middle of a hella set of deadlifts (thanks Mek). Trying to impart his "wisdom" about the workout you are using without ever seeing it - gym socializing at it's finest! Damn that dude pisses me off!!!!!!!!!

That sounds like a better idea Mac the DANGER ZONE! I can see the sign now: If the sound of grunt, yelling, dropping weights is offensive to you, you are not allowed in this room. Anyone not grunting, yelling or dropping weights will be asked to return to the P.C. side of the gym. Thank you

Mac is right though. Alot of it was for camera, and that is his stomping ground.
Good for him!

If you're not going to enter the pain zone on leg day, you might as well go play hopscotch in the parking lot of your gym.

There are signs posted all over the gym about no cel phones while using equipment but they dont enforce the rule at all. NEW GPP: singing along with your ipod while working out (more often women than men) there is a girl that runs on the treadmill every day with her earbuds in who apparently thinks she is the Adele of Gold's Gym...she isn't.

I hate it when guys (that obviously are way smaller than you and have less knowledge ) try to correct your form. Sure I wouldn't mind if it was someone who is bigger than me and looks like they know there stuff but a Guy that's 150lbs and thinks he's the Almighty gym master needs to be smacked.

we got this gypo that constantly interupts people asking how long you been lifting and various other questions.doesnt wait until the break time either.hes constantly pulling up his shirt flexing his abs,which is about a 2pack.its very annoying and hes getting the hint when you just look at him standing there and carry on.
