Bodybuilding Pet Peeves

[slesh]

Since so many of us, myself included, are a bunch of angry fuckers I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we just bitch about anything bodybuilding related. Shit we see at the gym, social media, this board, etc…

I’ll start with a double whammy:

I am currently watching an ass fuck loser not only lift with his ole lady but all 150 pounds of him is walking around like he’s Big Swole wearing a weight belt while chest pressing on a Cybex pin loaded

 

[Sectør]

People that do their exercises right in front of the dumbbell rack (to the point that no one can access multiple sets of weights until the clown finishes their set)

I’ll intentionally fuck up their set if they’re going to be that stupid and inconsiderate

This is so common too it blows my mind there’s so many people with that mindset

Motherfucker's that think they can "hold" a machine for their buddy or alternate between them. Yeah I just sit down and start my set. Funny thing was when they tried to pull that shit with my wife, not realizing I was with her. Looked like his soul left his body by the time I was finished saying my piece.

Not really a pet peeve but first thing this thread brings to mind is what i call the “old guy big 3”- hammer strength decline press, hammer strength shrug and hammer strength 4 way neck machine lol. They love loading up 3 plates and half repoing the press and shrug and loading wayyy to much weight on the 4 way neck and destroying their cervical spine

Studies. Everyone is obsessed these days with studies and counter studies. It’s made bodybuilding the most boring subject there is listening to a bunch of adults constantly counter claim something.

All the new members that join the gym in January and you never see them again after February.

 

[bbxtreme]

New members on this board the last few weeks. Someone needed to say it.

Teenagers in the gym. They have no boundaries and should be at planet fitness. I was mid set and one of them from the wolf pack walks over and gets in my face and interrupted me to ask how many more I had left. In that moment I understood the Branch Warren incident where he threw the kids phone. LOL

He seemed baffled when I explained to him why you don’t do that in front of his crew.

Yes, there seems to be a flood of new members at the start of this year. As always it’s a mix of good and not so good. But believe me the mods are doing the best they can separating the wheat from the chaff. And the members are doing a great job too with all the ‘reports’. Without all of you contributing in so many ways this wouldn’t be the great board that it is.

You guys do a great job with it. My post was no reflection on you guys at all.

Some of these new members just never sleep. And some members here feed them.

The way physique competitors pose, and anyone who makes posing look difficult, overcomplicates posing, or tries to sell posing tips

Anyone who has a following giving out bodybuilding related advice who i think is a charlatan or just not qualified even if the advice is decent, or really just anyone whose been into bodybuilding for less years than I have and yet think they know their stuff

The entire concept of coaches/gurus

 

[control]

There's this thing that young skinny kids do when they're at the gym together where they "play fight" between sets....
Now look, I have nothing against gay guys. But this play-fighting thing is too gay to watch. It's more gay than if they just started blowing each other in front of everyone.
They're literally giggling and softly punching each other in their Darc sports t-shirts and crocs.
Fucking horrendous.

That was my other one. Everybody seems to be a coach now. How are so many people on insta coaching so many people. I’m honestly stunned at how many people claim to make a living from coaching.

one of them from the wolf pack walks over and gets in my face

Not the fucking wolf pack

Its a great day to be alive


Oh when guys ask @slesh his macros

In my mind I was thinking of “The Hangover” when I said Wolfpack. That’s what they remind me of in the gym. They all walk around looking like they’re about to go out in Vegas.

I don’t really let the little things bother me anymore. But I can’t stand when I got my buds in my ear and I’m working out. Someone will come stand in front of me and just stand there until I take my buds out and ask what they want. They then just want to bullshit about something. I’m here to workout and go home. I love the gym but I want to bang it out, get home and eat. Then carry on with my day. I use to be social in the gym but the older I get I just want to workout and leave.

I’m sticking around.

For me, the broccoli head tripod tribe is the fucking worst. Also, people not wiping their fucking ass sweat from benches and machines.

And let’s not forget the asshole fucking around on his phone then giving you attitude when you ask to jump in on a machine while they’re hogging it.

Fucking oxygen thieves. I’m full of old man attitude, ain’t got time for that shit.

Social media ruined gyms, 150lbers in Stringers, short shorts, with their cell phones out and Nobody wears shoes anymore, gym smells like a fuckin frito, seen a dude the other day doin cable flys with no shoes on. Gone are the days of no social media and everyone knows what you actually look like in real life and the world won’t know that you did your push session today in your new Wolfpack outfit
