Ok whats your fitness pet peeve for 2005!

Well...lets see..how about what I call the "Abs Mirage" ..you wake up in the a.m.; your abs look as if all your work has amounted to something :D niiiice .... as soon a you eat or by later on in the day....not so nice!.:mad: either budda belly (abs pop out)..and/or fatty fat is sticking its tougue out at you. Time is get back on track with the salads, juicing, water, and fruit much more. New Years Res: more sweating; cardio, and tightening workouts.

I have that too.

Here’s mine –

I work hard, month after month, and start getting some definition in my stomach. After a couple of holiday parties and birthdays, it’s gone…..replaced by soft stomach folds/curves..
 
My pet peeve:

People that perform chins on the assisted machine and then tie weight to themselves while they go up and down on the stupid lever.

People that use the smith machine.

People that think they are bodybuilders when they don't have an "inkling" of what it takes to compete.

Trainers that got certifed 5-8 years ago and haven't learned anything new.
 
People that do "ab exercises" like the captains chair and straight leg lifts and thing they're working their abs the right way.. (basically just hip flexion)

People that use the treadmills and walk on them at in incline and hang on to it and incline w/ the machine...

I could write a book on this :rolleyes:
 
same here

"how do i look like ryan reynolds, brad pitt?"

"dont squat lower than parallel"

"dont combine carbs with fats"

"dont drink milk pwo"

"i just want to tone"

:(
 
guys that make it uncomfortable for a woman to workout in the gym, ie- calling you an animal- it doesn't sound like a compliment honestly it really doesn't. ppl that ask for your help in the gym but don't listen when you try to help correct mistakes.ppl that assume your small size means you are weak.
 
gotta be when ya waiting to use a machine and theres a guy just sittin on it doin jack ****!!! so ya move on and when ya come back theres another guy doin the same thing **sigh** **frustraiting** lol good idea for a thread btw
 
When you want to squat and the person in the power rack wants to finish their last 14 sets of bicep curls.

Trainers that do quarter squats on the smith machine and then have their clients do the same.

Those stupid "shock yourself" into better abs commercials.

People that buy fat burners and think they're gonna get ripped with no dietary changes.
 
People that hiss and make noises when they are working out sometimes its just not nessecary. You should only let out a hiss or a groan when you are strugling for that last rep. AND I BET THERE IS SOME OF YOU IN HERE
 
haha

in regards to what evo said, i've heard horror stories like that before. something like two guys with 11 inch arms taking turns curling 45lbs in the squat rack discussing the intricate details of their NO2/CEE stack. saying "these pumps are intense, bro!!!!"

:(
 
Oh well, I don't go to the gym much anymore these days..but all this talk about it brought to mind when equipment is left visibly sweaty (much less olfactory..or physically sticky)..either right in your face they get up and leave it like that or you go there and find it that way.

holy crap.. i have a few..

1. when someone asks me how many sets i have left and im like just a few.. and i hurry up becuase they want to use it.. and i get done and they dont even look at it again!!! or just when people rush me.. by standing next to my station..

2. when i see people holding on to the treadmill.

3. when the gym is packed and theres lil for me to do..

4. when someone attemps to steal my station ^_^

5. WHEN IM BENCHING AND MY SPOTTER JUST GRABS AND PULLS THE WEIGHT OF ME WHEN IM BEGINING TO STRUGGLE A LITTLE.. (really really pisses me off) instead of letting me finish up my set.

dats all :)
 
theres this old guy (70-80s) that will take a newspapaperand lies down on the leg press machine.for 30 minutes. he looks like he is taking a **** im liek wtf.
 
People who never wash thier gym clothes. We have a guy we call the poo-canoe, since he has such a nice stain on his crack that he displays without shame.
