Look. If the gym is full, you don't fucking get to reserve 4 different stations to rotate between. You just don't. You especially don't get to say "Bro, I'm using that" to people who go to use the machine when you're currently on a different one. What you do get to do is go fuck your own face.
FUCK THOSE ASSHOLES WHO TRY TO DO CIRCUIT TRAINING IN A FULL GYM! THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU JUST IGNORE AND USE THE EQUIPMENT ANYWAY! PUT THEM ON THE DEFENSIVE AND MAKE THEM JUSTIFY RESERVING A MACHINE THAT THEY'RE NOT ON CURRENTLY!
Fuck I hate that. One time this happened, and when the guy was finally done and I was about to walk over and squat, some other guy who had just walked into the gym snatched it away right in front of me. When I told him I had been waiting he refused to move. I'm thinking about cancelling the gym and spending the money on buying my own weights and bars etc...
Who the hell does this? I've seen it happen only a few times (luckily), but I've never caught someone doing it. How did this get such a big problem for people? You wouldn't expect the lazy people to go to the gym.
I'm ok with reracking the plates but those bastards who put the plates on the ground so I have to search the better half of the gym to get what I want are a real pain to deal with.
I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT THOSE PEOPLES HOUSES LOOK LIKE. IF THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH LEAVING SHIT EVERYWHERE IN A PUBLIC SPACE, THEIR LIVING SPACE MUST BE A FUCKING DISASTER! HOW CAN ANYONE BE FINE WITH DISRESPECTING THINGS THAT BELONG TO ALL GYM GOERS? DON'T THEY REALIZE THAT THE WEIGHTS AREN'T THEIR PROPERTY!?
Sometimes the single stations dont have elevation adjustments. I understand your frustration, but be aware that sometimes its necessary to use the x-cables. However as CAPS has already stated, just work in.
Saw a guy quarter squatting four plates, then walk off expecting some sort of applauding auditorium from everyone in the weight area. Fueled the rest of my sets, that's for sure...
GOOD! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!PEOPLE WHO EXPECT FULL RESULTS FROM HALF ASSED EFFORT WILL ALWAYS FAIL! I HOPE HIS EGO WILL ONE DAY ALLOW HIM TO LOWER THE WEIGHT WHEN HE SEES YOU SQUATTING MORE THAN HIM WITH PERFECT FORM!
I wanted to get into running, so I joined a novice group. Quite a few members were actually far above novice, running marathons etc, but whatever right? Until everyone else who was novice started dropping out. My condition isn't bad, but eventually I was left with about 5 people who were all marathon runners. The group leader told me he wants to make it available for everyone, however I keep holding the group up, forcing them to wait for me. It's horrible... I have to skip half of the route if I want to be done at the same time. Also I'm getting pushed far beyond my limits. Like when the rest is waiting for me and I'm halfway there, and my coach wants me to run faster to keep up but I'm already feeling dizzy and really bad. I just can't keep up. I think I'm quitting this group for good now, but it's really sad because it was fun while it lasted with the other novices.
FUCK! LEAVE THE GROUP, BUT DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP!!! FIND THOSE OTHER PEOPLE THAT DROPPED OUT AND MAKE YOUR OWN GROUP. DID YOU HAVE A GOAL DISTANCE OR TIME FOR RUNNING? YOU CAN DO IT!
The others left because they gave up. I don't really have a goal, I just want to get faster I guess? I do track and time my runs.
I'm going to try and find others, but I've also felt like maybe just quitting running for a while and start lifting more. I'll be cycling to work over an hour a day starting the next week anyway.

Re rack the plates on the leg press, you animals. I'm happy for your gains but moving 8 plates off the machine is a workout in itself.

If you're doing a single-cable exercise, don't take up one of the crossover cables, especially if a single-cable station is available.

At my gym, they all have elevation adjustment. There are two crossover machines and three single stations. People are just oblivious...

WHY PEOPLE TAKE UP AS MUCH SPACE AS POSSIBLE WHEN WORKING OUT IS BAFFLING TO ME! ESPECIALLY IF THEY WON'T LET YOU WORK IN!

If perfume or cologne is part of your workout attire, then go fuck yourself.

I'd rather the person next to me be gassy than smell of perfume.
