F*ckin Gym

[Jeter2020]

So im at the gym tonight and Im doing some dumbell bench presses and when I was done with the set I put the weights down and they hit the floor making a noise. So this dumb fuck decides to tattle on me and tells the idiot working there that I am dropping the weights and ruining them. I asked her what I was supposed to do when lifting heavy weights cause I dont want to fuck up my shoulder trying to gently put them down. She says well maybe you shouldn't lift that much weight if you cant handle it. I was furious. She threatened to kick me out of the gym. Then as im walking out a guy she was talking shit to about us was staring me and my friend down, which me and my friend combined are about 480 pounds, and actin like he was going to do something about it. I am never going back there again. Sorry I just had to vent.

That's funny man. It happens to me all the time. I'm sick of this people. It is so hard to find a gym for real man!

 

[Jeter2020]

Ya obviously you can press more with your chest than you can hold with your shoulders on the way down. They want me bench pussy weight to not work my chest at all just so I dont drop them hard. Bull shit

 

[The Wolf]

Yeah I feel ya, I personaly would have left and never go back as well........ but first I might have done some damage and then leave, I couldnt handle someone trying to stare me down but your good that you kept your cool, I really dont know that I could of.

Should have asked why the f*ck she wasn't over there spotting you, so you wouldn't have to do such a terrible thing!

Ill be the first to sign that contract!

 

[nosmas]

I dont know about you all.......but I sure am hoping for a Temple Gym America opening up in my neck of the woods. A place where you get warned by management because your going to light. If the weights DONT crash to the floor.......your revoked!

 

[PHIL HERNON]

I have a better idea

You spend your life savings to open a gym and let everyone abuse your equipment and throw down your dumbells so you need to replace them at $1 per pound every few weeks because all of them are bent. Do you let people go into your house and throw down your plates and glasses? This is how a gym owner thinks. If you go that heavy, use a barbell,not a dumbell. It is not their fault that you have a bad shoulder.

 

[Zuke]

Agreed Phil. Live by the laws or get out. If I want to go heavy and I cannot find a spotter........I use the Smith Machine. I work out at a very nice gym, I would hate to get kicked out. Plus, by making little adjustments like this from time to time it adds more diversity to your workouts.

Seriously, one thing I do hate is picking up a set of dumbells that are all screwed up with the plates rolling around about to fall off. Its not that big of a deal to bring the weights into your body and lift your knees up to catch the db's and bring them down.

Speaking of abusing equipment. Man I was at the gym on Saturday and I see this guy with a group of high school kids and he's trying to teach them powerlifting techniques. So, I'm doing legs, get warmed up, and start to do some half squats with like 5 plates. So anyway, I could see all these kids looking at me and stuff and it kind of anoid me, b/c I don't like people watching me, but their just kids so I figure whatever. Then I go about my business. Well this "coach" of theirs then has the kids go over to my squat rack and rests the bar on the stops at a partial height and then proceeds to load the bar with 6 plates and has his strongest kids tighten their belts to infinity and try to do partials. Well they get one or whatever and so I swear he keeps loading it until he's got like 7 plates. The bars bending over pretty badly by now and these kids can't even lift the weight for one rep. He tries to get under it and he can't lift it either. All my friends were laughing at these dumb asses. But I was thinking, damn, next time I go do squats or stiffed deads I'm gonna have to use this crappy bent bar. Pissed me off...
If you can lift the weight, then that's one thing. But you don't leave the bar just sitting there with 7 or 8 plates loaded while you have every kid in the gym try to lift it once. Dumb asses.

Yeah I guess the only guy that can truly get away by throwing the weights around is Ronnie, because hes as good as the owner in that gym in Texas but I still think that maybe the lady could of said it in a nicer way and the guy trying to stare him down sounded like he was asking for a fight but what Phils saying makes sense, I wouldnt like someone comming to my house and throwing my plates about.

I could not agree more...being a former GM...the high end DBs are 1.18 per pound...so if you are holding 130lbs in each hand and you drop them and break them, that is 300.00+ down the crapper...now let's say 10 people do that a day...that gets expensive...if you cannot handle them do not pick them up. Use a barbell.

I personally would have a 4" rubber floor for these guys...but they will still bend.

I would have a sign up...you drop'em, you break'em, you pay for them.

In his video, he said he paid for the DBs so I guess he can drop them all he wants

 

[DOGMA]

Yeah, I can see where both Phill and Jeter are coming from and I have to say that it aggrevates me as well when in my gym all the dumbells over 120 have bent handles from people throwing them around like idiots... They should be banned or charged for screwing up the equiptment. When I finish my press at the top I bring my knee's up and lean up and bring the db's down at the same time resting on my quads. Its surprisingly smooth transition from the top of the press down to the bech then I can set them on the floor without too much noise. But there is till a thud....

Weather he paid for them or not the reason that gyms making big money is because of him and its not just the dumbells he throws, he throws the barbells and anything else he gets hold of, lol. If anyone behaved like that in a normal gym, they would thrown out long time ago but you gota love the country boy.

I guess some people watch his videos and get carried away at the gyms and thats what probably happened in this case.

good role model

Now that sounds like a good positive role model for up and coming hopefuls. Honestly, if there were an intelligence component to becoming Mr.Olympia he couldn't even carry the gym bags of the other contestants.

I use the 120lb dumbs at my gym for presses cause thats the biggest they have and they are both bent and role in your hand because some funcking little pussy can't controle them after his set !!! With proper instruction you can put them down just as easy as you picked them up and with ALOT less stress on your shoulder than dropping them I know because I have a bad shoulder .
Somthing else that gets me is guys that can't pick their weights up for the set , they can get one dumbell up on their leg and have to have their little buddy hand them the other one.
Or guys that do dead lifts with heavy weight to try to impress their boyfriend and drop the shit at each rep , your gonne fuck yourself up lifting sloppy and stupid

Bottom line if you can't control the weight and do a steady controled movement then its to damn heavy for you.

Rule #1 , check your ego at the door , proper form will make you bigger
Rule #2 , unless your buying and fixing the equiptment don't fuck it up !!

Get in their , shut your mouth , train hard every rep and get the fuck out , if your having a bad day and feel that your gonna be waisting your time then go home and stay the fuck out of my way

Maybe this is why I can't get a training partner

Sorry for the ranting , this is in no way directed at anybody here unless you lift at Slidell Athletic !!! , and if you do you know who I am and you realy want to train with me don't be scared just ask !!
