Gold's Gym Has Great Equipment, Too Bad About Some of the Members

Gold's Gym is a great place to get a decent workout. The gym owners are helpful for the most part and the equipment is great as well. What I like about the place is that they have plenty of free weights. What I dislike about the gym is the typical person attracted to this environment is an idiot. The guys that call themselves hardcore lifters. They go out of their way to make the gym an obnoxious place. I'm not sure if they didn't receive enough attention as children, but these people need to be put in their place. The purpose of this article is to call these guys out and let them know how idiotic everyone else thinks they are.

1) Dropping of Dumbbells After A Set is Complete: This is bad for the equipment and is just idiotic. It does nothing to increase muscle mass and if anything could cause them to injure themselves or someone lifting close to them. Their main excuse is that they are lifting heavy weights. Why is it true that I can quietly lift 100 pound dumbbells and one of these retards is making noise with 60 pounders?

2) Grunting Like a Freak During Sets: What is up with the weird grunting sounds? I can understand that if someone was attempting a personal best at an extremely heavy deadlift that there could be a bit of noise, but these guys are doing it on isolation exercises. Seriously, nobody wants to hear this stuff. The guys who drop dumbbells are very likely to be grunters as well. One of the things I like to do to entertain myself is grab a much heavier weight than them, sit next to them doing the same exercise while completely silent. I will then ask them why they feel the need to lift with such drama.

3) Leaving Their Weights All Over The Place: This is really an obnoxious behavior, because it shows blatant disrespect to the people who work in the gym. They believe that people should clean up after them. There is a certain guy in particular, who is really guilty of this. You guess it, the same guys who drop their weights are the same ones who typically leave them there. This is a really common problem in every gym. Let's show the gym faculty some respect and put our own weights away!

4) Standing in Front of The Dumbbell Rack During Sets: This is just plain lazy behavior. Have you ever seen a guy grab a set of dumbbells and then proceed to do a set of shrugs or lateral raises right in front of the rack? The problem is that nobody can access those weights during his set. This happens to me all the time. I will squeeze right in front of the person and grab a set of dumbbells just to piss them off. This angers them every time, but I explain to them that is they weren't working out right in front of the rack this wouldn't be an issue.

5) Using Many Pieces of Equipment at Once: If people allow others to work in and use the equipment, that is fine. The problem is when someone believes they have the right to tie up 2+ pieces of equipment for extended periods of time. This isn't an extremely common behavior, but one I have seen nonetheless.

Summary: There is absolutely nothing wrong with Gold's Gym. I hope that isn't what people take away from this article. I am just hoping that people will stop some of these guys from ruining these great facilities.
