Here comes the RUSSIANS!!!

[concreteguy]

I'm at the gym friday night after work and five russian guys are all working out on the squat rack. They are All using dangerous form and way to much weight for thier untrained bodies. (shaky legs and going half way down for two or three) When they finish they leave weights all over the floor around it and the bar loaded. (zero gym edicate). More and more have joined the gym same lack of edicate and no knowledge of how to workout. It wouldn't be fair to say they are all russian, I don't understand all of thier languages.
I walk into the (((MENS))) locker room and a russia father with his maybe 4year old daughter is standing at one of the five sinks doing his gym laundry in one sink and rinsing them in the sink next to it. I swear I'm not making this up. It really didn't put me out because I go home to shower. But it was still WAY unnerving. Crist sakes, the sinks are ten feet across the room from the urinals. IN open view!
If I'm comming off as a hater sorry. I HAVE JUST BEEN TO THAT GYM FOR THE LAST TIME!!! I'm pissed as hell being run out of a good place......little girls in the mens locker room??? I hardly expect ya to even believe this!

BTW: I'm well aware of all the foriegn athletes that know how to workout and have gym edicate I'm willing to respect anyone that respect me.They just DONT go to the gym that I used to go too!

Thanks for letting me unload

Loads of people from russia and eastren europe tran at my gym, all god members. Just sometimes you have to tell them the way it works. I find them very repectfull.

 

[tenny]

how do you know they are russian?????

what gave it away?????....were they wearing signs?????

 

[VictorZ06]

They stink the place up with vodka when they sweat!

For real though, I know a few Russian guys over at my gym (in NJ) and they are really respectful to both the people and the use of equipment. They also train really hard. Good guys. :action-sm

**I can't say the same for the Russian guys over at some of the gyms in Athens, Greece. Ethics are all right out the window over there. Well...same with the Greeks I guess.

Haha, russians.


Here's the rule with russians - the more of them there are, the more retarded everything will get.

 

[arnoldismyhero]

1. every rule has exceptions
2. before ivan tries to kill me with an empty bottle vodka or poison me with radioactive pickles, i would like to say that i happen to be russian. sadly.

Say something to the staff that runs the gym and have them talk to the guys. Russians do do a lot of weird shit with 4 year old girls, and that's fine in the privacy of their bunkers, but they shouldn't bring that into the gym! Geez. (just jokes) But seriously if it's a good gym stand up and say something I'm sure it's bugging other people too and they would appreciate it if someone said something.

I talk to them and used to employe some of there as door men, nice guys but you know not to fuck with them. My training parnter is from litunina 18 years old, 125kg at 6ft 5incs. Strongest guy in the gym and such a nice kid. I find give them respect and you will get that in return. I met most of therm through a friend "Danny the Boss" AKA Rominian Danny. Any problems I had working security, a phone call to Danny and it was sorted.

Cant tar evertyone with same brush. Just different cultures, different ways, they just need a kind polite word and im sure they'll be fine. One of my good friends is Russian and one of the nicest blokes i know.

Also, have you ever been to a public baths where fathers take their daughters?? They don't have much choice but to take their daughters in the changing room. If its not a problem for the father, it should be fine, as long as one shows a bit of deceny and not exactly flaunt the crown jewels and show them some respect if you know what i mean..

[locutus61]

Say something to them. If you were in Russia, I'm certain they wouldn't hesitate to impose their will on you. Screw em!

Mass, please don't take this as a personal attack. I'm sure your a good guy and I'm sertainly not "taring everyone with the same brush" here. I new the guys were russian, I overheard one of them telling an american in the gym.
As far as little girls in the bathroom locker room and bath houses? THATS BULLSHIT! Thats my exit sign flashing!
Maybe doing the laundry in the sink is just one guy being an ass and not cultural. I don't know.

regardless of custom or practice, you are in our country now and we are big on political correctness
i am first generation, my parents are poor and from mexican, i got snuck over with an uncle when i was 4, i dont have papers, so i really cant talk....

giving bath in gym? unless guy is poorer than shit , that is wrong , i would have had a chat with him or told the GM. depends what kind of a person you are and how you handle biz,.you can do all of this very curteously.
