Ok whats your fitness pet peeve for 2005!

haha. Fuel omg I got this guy to spot me I was going for a PR(personal record) of 150lbs on the bench press. I go "this is 5lbs more than I ever did". On way back up I stalled for a split second and he ripped the bar up! Im like what the flip. Then, I got in lockout and i started yelling at at him im going for a record don't assist! So, I tried a second rep. and got stuck midway through wonder why :rolleyes:.
 
Ok~ I learned something new today! I usually run on the treadmill but once in awhile I walk on a very high incline and I totally hold on to the treadmill!!! :eek: So it really sucks to see that Im one of "those people" LOL I feel like I would fall off if I don't hold on???????????
 
Men doing stupid bench presses with poor technique and then genuinely believing that evryone else in the gym is actually impressed...
 
lol i love when the guys try to show off and they throw the weights around like that impresses us women.
 
I hate when people spot you like ****. They think they could somehow look tough by spotting you with one hand, or one finger? WTF?! Use good leverage, and use both hands when you spot me! I don't care how much weight it is, ya SOB.
 
When the gym is so busy there is hardly any room to train and no cardio machines available.

Big guys lifting big weights who think that they're superior and hog stations...I pay my membership too dammit!

When I forget my headphones!! :mad: that really gets to me!
 
When people sit and read the paper endlessly in between sets. Are you here to lift or just waste my time? If you want to read the paper, get off the machine already!

You think that is bad. Try skipping that machine, going and doing 2 more, coming back only to find the same jack a** still sitting on the machine. I went through a whole workout once and the same guy was on the same machine until I was done. I wanted to choke him so bad.

I forgot this one: Guys locker rooms, where guys feel it's necessary to walk around naked. Now I understand showering, changing, and drying off, but they walk around the place letting it swing. Maybe some of you are guilty of this, maybe it's not a big deal, but I don't want to see that. Cover up if your going to walk around, and please put a towel down on the Sauna if your going to sit in it. I can almost look past the fact that your letting it hang loose in there, but for the love of God please put a towel down. I thought this was a gym not a gay bath house.

I hate how everything is promoted as being "healthy" just as an example how rediculous this has gotten:

Where i live a few weeks ago a new domino's commericial was advertised and it starts by a group of thin women in their early 20's unbuttening their jeans (no it's not what you're thinking). Right after this the pizza man is at the door and he says "keep ya pants on girls, this is domino's thin and crispy" - implying that you eat as much thin and crispy pizza as you want and not stay looking like these hot girls do. Then right at the end of the add the slogan is "fill full, not stuffed".

Weight loss shows like "the biggest loser" and "celebrity overhaul". These shows can be so misleading for people that want to get into shape but don't know how. I hate when one of the contestants is losing so much rapid weight loss and they say something like "and my muscles are bigger too" - uh, no they're not dickhead, if your muscles were bigger than when you started then you'd also be fatter than when you started. There's other things i don't like about these weight loss shows but i don't wanna make this post too long.
 
yeah .. were do you live stream line? i have the same add at the moment ... its stupid and yeah those shows are misleading and dont show the full extent they work out !!!
 
Ads or sites with ridiculously overbuilt men with pig tails between their legs like little boys. Body building ads or sites where the women look like sleezy sex ads instead of actual bodybulider women :rolleyes:

I used to go to a gym in a rough area with only 2 treadmills (not that I would ever use one of those hamster wheels anyway) and a 6'7" black guy unplugged one of them, charged his phone up and ran on the other one!
 
A girl said she didn't wanna get too "muscley" when I suggested she implement a lifting routine.

Also people that make things overcomplicated and make up all kinds of crazy routines without first ever mastering (or sometimes even trying) the basic fundamentals of diet and exercise.
