WARNING: Gym Sins You DON-T Want to Make!

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Consider this video a public service announcement for what not to do when you are in a gym. Here we cover 11 of the most obnoxious people that you likely see every time you train in your local gym. The key to avoidance however is recognition. I-m going to show you how to quickly and easily spot the gym bros so that you can enjoy your workouts without ever having to come within twenty feet of these characters ever again. In order of appearance, the incher is the person that loads the bar up with every weight nearby and proceeds to perform quarter reps at best. You have likely seen one in the past week alone. Says he squats four hundred pounds and winds up covering two inches of total range of motion throughout the lift. This is a gym fail every time. Next is the transporter. This is the guy who brings all of his own equipment to the gym to train with. Is there something wrong with the rope pushdown that is already there? Of course not, but to this particular gym goer he feels it necessary to break out his special rope. He-d argue to the end of the day that the friction is less and that the contour of the steel fits his hand better. The D-ck W. O. D. is next. This guy just seems a little lost when forced to train outside the box. I mean, the energy and enthusiasm is good but the advice he is willing to spout to everyone within earshot is often unwanted. Got to question the technique a little bit too. Seems a little shaky. Beware the Social Media -Star-, and we use that term loosely. You know the guy? The one who thinks it is appropriate to show up in any local commercial gym that people pay hard earned money to attend and proceed to interrupt anyone and everyone around them to film the latest installment of a video nobody is going to watch. Thanks for ruining my workout pal. The CopyCat is not as easily recognized but no less disturbing. Ever get the feeling that you are not only being watched, but copied in the gym. No matter where you go, this person seems to lurk nearby and do every set, rep, and exercise the same exact way you are doing it. You are literally writing the playbook for this guy to jack from you. Be careful how you lift, this means you are now responsible for his health as well as your own. The Muscle Matician is the guy that breaks out the journal to record every last detail of everything he does in the gym. While it is customary to throw out tax returns after 7 years, this guy hasn-t thrown away a workout journal since he first learned to write. Details you deem unnecessary he would argue are fundamental to his ability to perform at a higher level. We will let you decide. The next one is the local village idiot of the gym. Unless playing the role of copycat, he is completely puzzled, confused and offers no shred of useful information for anyone in the gym to benefit from. Next. The Creep Show Bro is another one that lurks in every corner but instead of copying you he is eerily doing often times nothing but watching you. Usually this is reserved for the prettier women in the gym and I feel bad that you must be subjected to this. If he spent as much time lifting as he did staring he might not look as repulsive as he acts. The supplement store in a gym bag guy is easily spotted as well. He is the one that has his pre workout, intra workout and post workout shakes all conviently prepared for him and on the ready for those key moments of his workout. Beyond that, he carries about 20 pill bottles and other various supplements to make sure his muscles don-t miss a beat and more importantly, a critical window of supplement opportunity. There are more to avoid as well. The key is, make sure that when you go to the gym if you want to get the most from your training that you stay focused on what you have to do. These guys are in every gym and ready to try and distract you from the task at hand. If you stay determined to get your workout done without distraction you will be able to avoid the pit falls these gym bros are setting for you. If you are looking for a training program that guides you step by step through every workout and a meal plan that won-t let you fail on your way to getting shredded, be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Start training like an athlete and see how much faster you can look like one this Summer

Funny video, I've seen all of these over the years, well, except for the last one, lol. My favorite was the one where Jesse was copying you in front of the dumbbell rack right down to the same wrist band. Kind of a two for one deal there -- my pet peeve when going to gyms is the person who stands in front of the dumbbells, so other people can get to them, while they crank out some reps. Bonus points if they are doing drop sets and stand there for 5 or 10 minutes.

Every time I was changing cloths to go home from my gym there was this creepy guy having a shower next to the lockers and walking around naked in the changing room he would ask me why I wouldnt have a shower too and how could I go home all sticky and sweaty and bla bla bla, saying all that while he was still naked. Later when I mentioned it to other members they said that the same guy was doing that on them too. Super creepy.

I haven't trained a t a gym for awhile, but the gym I am considering caters to 'Strong Man' types. Kinda a dump, but open 24-7. I like to train late, so the odds are the typical dorks at a fancy gym won't be at this one.
I have heard that Planet Fitness is a totally awesome gym, so maybe I could look into that. I heard it was a douche free zone or something.

Its so easy to take off t-shirt, wrap a towel high on the waist around the belly and take off pants.
Similarly when putting on, put on underwear with towel wrapped, then put on pants with towel wrapped and towel comes off, zipper up, put shirt on and be on ur way.

Ok ok. I do bring two pieces of equipment to the gym, but only on leg day. I bring sliders and a band because the gym doesn't have sliders or a slick floor for me to do the slick floor ham curls or bands to do the side walks. They should, but they don't.

Well I started back in the gym a month ago and mostly what I see is guys sitting on the machines for 10 minutes. On their phone do 1 set of 5 and sit another 10 minutes on the phone. And walk to a different machine and repeat the process.

I am the log book guy. I live to write in the completed sets/reps and compare to last week! I make sure it doesn't make me stay on a machine/bench too long though. What I write is only during my usual rest time. To each their own!

You forgot one. the guy who doesn't use deodorant. usually training in a beater with the hairiest armpits known to man. even after he has left you can still smell it. I don't want to hear any crap about deodorant being unnatural.

Don't collect the Dumbbells. I hate when guys will have the 20's, 30's 35's etc all at his feet doing some routine. Just as bad as ppl holding up machines on their phone. Oh and walking on the treadmill but not fat or injured.
