Gym & Misc Irritating people/things that annoy you in the gym II

[saj_21]

I was on holidays last week and managed to find a local gym. It’s a handy gym but gets busy mid morning and there is limited equipment - like one “cage” to do squats or dead’s. One lady in there decided to use this cage and barbell for her extra heavy barbell curls with 1.25kg plate each side

Checking in Shell

Went this afternoon.

Didnt touch my phone once, therefore no checks.
Another workout tomorrow, then hitting the pool Thursday when its hot.

You could probably name a hundred exercises people do weirdly at the gym, but one that keeps bopping up in my mind is like a leg press on the assisted pull-up machine!

It needs to be sent to the graveyard IMO.

Nope, I get much more out of it for a single leg press

Not that I care (humblebrag cause I don’t use the assist) but it really is weird, is there any advantage over that to a standard leg press or squat?

No! It's worse.. and it's actually dangerous.

I don't know I reckon that time the crusty skin flakes left on a bench bar ended up on my face was worse

I would put all my money on him peeing in the shared showers as well. Dead set.

Well, what is he supposed to do? Get out of the shower, put on his bathrobe? Go all the way down to the other end? Come all the way back?

It's all pipes, what's the difference!

Different pipes go to different places. You're gonna mix them up!

Pee before or after his shower? He's not 5 years old lol

People wearing inappropriate clothing or just looking to pose in their gear than have any intention of using the gym for its primary use,

Irritating things for me recently was my gym (Blackwood Fitness) shutting down just before Christmas. They were crazy cheap ($155 for a year). Obviously too crazy cheap as they've gone under with debt. Still got 7 years of crazy cheap gym out of them.

Now going to a 24 hour Zap just up the road for $9.95 a week. So still not too bad a price (and my Blackwood membership 'loss' is around $30 on time left so not stressing too much, like the people who got Memberships as Christmas gifts). Upside there is can go to gym at 5.25, home about 6.45 for shower and breakfast and not lugging a gym bag then to work.

Downsides are a smaller gym so missing a Reverse Hyper Machine (good for me with a bulging disc) and their roof is too low, so I can't do Muscle Up's there without hitting it. Most sad though is so far (been there a week) is the 5.30 - 6.45 crowd just doesn't have the quantity or quality of eye candy I used to get.

Air quality - got to the gym a little early this morning, whole centre closed due to the air quality.
Did a high rep leg session in the park but it just wasn't the same.

Interesting, seeing as getting to the gym involves you going outdoors where the air quality is the same or worse. The business must be mitigating any risk of patrons worsening any health issues they currently have.

Well according to Facebook the gym is now open but the poll is still shut. It's confusing.
