Random Irritations

Physio, will probably go private which in hindsight I should have done months ago.

Tashy boy knows a good one

Nothing wrong with cross breeding, if done carefully, you get the best part of both breeds. Our Golden doodle will have the intelligence and temperament of a golden retriever without shedding a ton of fur! Win win. (Had SBTs all our lives but wanted a change)

My daughter has a Shnoodle she is looking to cross it with a cockapoo so she can have Cockashnoodlepoo pups.

People in the gym trying to do bicep Curls in the squat rack.. Them and the guys who grunt louder than Maria Sharapova returning a forehand

Anyone know what he's taking about?

I've got a whole list of gym related irritants.... but it makes me angry so I dont normally get myself started.

Go on do it.....

Go on do it.....

Go on then, I'll bite:

1. not putting weights away
2. someone making a big deal out of deadlifting (grunting/slamming bar) then realising they have 50/60kg on.... thats not even a warm up weight.
3. using the rack for anything other than squats or bench - you do NOT need to look at yourself in the mirror to do bicep curls
4. using the foam pad (full stop) but especially when quarter squatting 50kg
5. posers - a guy in my gym wears tattoo arm sleeves and 3/4 length tattoo compression trousers to do bicep/tricep day
6. using mobile phones for social media inbetween sets - get off the damn equipment
7. not wiping down equipment
8. using equipment incorrectly - for example in a gym I was recently a member of we were lucky enough to have an olympic platform, absolutely perfect for me working on my clean and jerks, snatch or heavy deadlifts. But 99% of the time it was always taken up with people doing calf raises, deadlifting 50kg or even kettlebell side crunches.
9. changing room willy waving - I had a fella the other day make his protein shake next to me completely naked, even when he was shaking the damn thing up - no one needs to see that

There probably are more, but I need to have been wound up by it recently to remember.

guys who use the stalls for a pee rather than the urinals

Why? as long as they're not spraying it around it doesnt matter
I know a couple of guys that cannot flow when someone is next to them, and another guy who has shy bladder syndrome. Thats even worse.

Mumford and Sons have a new album out I hear, that will be their cheesy pop-folk blasting over the air waves for the next 6 months.
Already had 3 songs on since this morning 😴

When you're trying to organise golf trips, or any kind of activity really, and don't get any feedback, none, what so ever. Not even a "thanks, but not interested". Just being blanked. It makes my blood boil.

 

[drdel]

Idiots who have knocked the lumps of ice off their shoes on the bloody green

I've found a way to alleviate ALL of those issues - my car is never tempted to drive near a gym 😁

 

[USER1999]

I used to go to the gym.

To get my car washed and valetted.

I am. In the position where I not only use the gym and see this behaviour but I also run the gym as well some on the stuff I see above and beyond your frustrations which I equally share are bizarre.

I've literally just had to tell someone not to stand on the seat of the plate load shoulder press as he was using it to do shrugs, he had no idea how else to do them so I've just spent 30mins educating him how to do the easier of exercise with several different bits of suitable kit.

As for Olympic lifting platforms we have 3 of them and I swear I'm the only one who does any thing of them that warrants using them, most common use in my place is women using them to do hip thrusts then moaning men are are watching them in the mirror

It’s alright actually. I really like the song Woman, very catchy.
