Yes, absolutely. I have on several occasions snatched my stuff up and ran back home to work out with my own little gym after walking in to several young punks just bouncing around with no plan, etiquette or respect for anyone else. Just playing around and in the way like most all teenagers to early 20’s nowadays

@McSwickles that story sounds like one of those gym joke pranks on YouTube but real life lol. I woulda lost it, I’d be looking around for cameras like I’m on pranked waiting for Ashton Kutcher to run out.

Ok, now there are days my deadlifts can be a little loud if I’m just going for fast twitch work, I don’t worry about the negative on those days, I don’t slam the weights, but I’m not gently setting them down either.
I hate when people don’t clean up after themselves, and don’t put the plates back, if you sweat up the fucking bench wipe that shit down!
There’s a kid, maybe 20-21 that goes to the gym, and is flabby as fuck, weighs 280 and can bench 255 and let’s everyone know he can bench that much. He takes his shirt off, takes pics infront of the mirror and has at times during log presses tried to pump up my buddy by screaming in his face.
The biggest pet peeve I have is when someone tries to talk to you mid set. If I’m lifting and moving weight, wait till I’m done, nothing ruins your concentration more than some asshat trying to talk to you while your in the middle of a lift.

The only thing that bothers me is seeing people put a shit ton of weight on and not use correct form. I feel like they are there for people to see them lift big weight they are not there for their own good. I don’t say anything. But when I see a highschool kid come in and put 185 on the squat bar and get their ass to the floor without their knees going passed their toes I say something. I tell them good form I congratulate them for being one of few kids that get it right!! And they always smile!!!

It has to do with your body weight and then how much you can PR. Some calculation, I think it’s for guys that can’t hang with the big boys so they have to do the pound for pound thing. Like cmon, it’s like boxing, most people don’t give a shit about featherweights, heavy weights is where it’s at.
