I am sorry but I have to rant as college is out and the gyms have been flooded with tools.

Why do dudes feel the need to where "cut" shirts that show their nipples?
Why is every college aged dude a member of the "foot above parallel club" in squats?
Why do I get asked more to video someone's workout than to actually spot them?
When the hell are people going to actually touch their chest on bench?
Why do you think your long pants hide your twig legs?
Why in hell do you think loading up 8 plates on each side of the squat press and proceeding to incorporate your quads to help with your "calf raises"? And then leaving the freaking weight on?

And girls....

Stop wearing the ****tiest gym wear you can buy and insist on doing RDLs or stiff leg dead lifts in the middle of the freaking dumbell area
Stop posting every angle of your ass on instagram... who the hell do you think you're attracting?
Stop getting mad at dudes that don't put up their weight when y'all leave your yoga mat, flat bench, and kettle bells by every smith machine in sight

Rant over... I guess I am getting old and am just sick and tired of the issues above at SEVERAL gyms. You can workout, lift heavy, and be strong, without being a d-bag.

I don't get it......

I just work out at the gym and listen to good music or podcasts. Sometimes I have to pick up after people but no big deal, yo.

Your gym must not be very crowded.

I do the same but the increase in traffic makes these things unavoidable.

Maybe it's a Lifetime Fitness, Golds, and LA Fitness deal... I workout primarily at Lifetime but when I travel I'll go to whatever is an option.

I guess I am just becoming a bitter old man

Reasons why I built a home gym, got tired of the gym scene with all of the people that just don't give a hoot. When I travel it is with whatever they have in the hotel gym or body weight stuff.

It's not them I actually mind, it's the 20 drooling kids that surround the area that's the problem.

This entire OP reminds me of source material for BroScience.

No. Just Lifetime... but when I travel I workout at what ever is around, if the hotel gym isn't sufficient. You can just pay a day fee or negotiate a free pass

Two options:

Go during off-peak time. I go to the gym during lunch to avoid the rush. I'm a member of LA Fitness in Uptown, stupid crowded after work.

Become a member of a more expensive gym. My fiance goes to Tom Landry in Dallas but pays 3 times as much as I do. Her gym is never crowded.

I go at 4am when there are only a few other people in the gym. No problems. Everybody does the standard head nod and goes about their own business.

I think changing times is the answer but the only time I could go is early morning and I am not about that right now. I can wake up before my alarm to go hunting/fishing, but not to work out. I'm too used to evening workouts.

This. The 6am crowd is always the same people who get along great.

I find more of the OP's problems as you get to the later crowd.

Get your weight up son. When you see idiots do that then call them out and ask them to wipe it down.

I do but you don't always catch them doing it.

And when you do, you get an eye roll or a musky sense of entitlement as they whimper over and do as told.

I only do body weight stuff these days. There is no point in going to a gym for me unless there are women to admire and force you to linger for that 5th set. Not sure what the issue is. At one point, we were all the dude-bros grunting as leaked all over the gym mats. I'm pretty sure I was cursing you 8 years ago.

It was also a joke bc all Instagram is nowadays is fitness models posting bikini shots while promoting whatever BS fitness product is paying them. Note: I am not complaining at all!

speaking of bros and hos, a couple weeks ago i saw a first.

girl was sitting on the machine doing leg extensions and her boyfriend was standing over her and they were getting after it hardcore. her head was all the way back like she was looking at the ceiling like a baby bird getting tongued and groped by mama bird but didn't stop her leg workout. this was after work in a very crowded gym.

i just happened to be walking into the weight area and walking by them and i'm pretty sure i let out an audible and uncomfortable "...uhhhh". i don't know how loud it was because of my ear buds but it didn't slow them down.

Sounds more like a fitness center than a gym.

What you need is one or two dominant bucks. It is just like deer. You have a bunch of young bucks trying to show off their horns and how bad they are, there are a couple of inferior older bucks that just get irritated with the whole thing, However when you get an older dominant buck to show up, all the crap stops. The young bucks stop showing off and posturing. The older inferior bucks just nod and stay out of the way.

Find a big dude that can move big weight and watch your problems disappear. Better yet, go to a gym where the big dudes and insanely fit women work and join that gym. You don't have those problems there.

Very motivating.
