Okay i dont know everyones opinions on this, some may see my opionion as shit or may agree with me.
Anyway, At gym other day and when it came to doing incline bench press i use the Smith Machine due to having no spotting partner and can push that little extra weight. So theres a guy about 40 to 50’s on the machine, fair enough i thought i’ll swap routine round a little and do flyes the now, so he’s gabbing away to his mates and there all f*cking carrying on and one of them is actually walking around like a chicken saying no one can touch me, f*ck knows what they were talking about, so anyway i completed 4 sets of 10 reps (5 sec up and down) and 1 1/2 minute rest between sets and this git still hadnt done one set yet.
So i went and said can i use the machine to quickly pump a set of incline between your sets he said “f*ck im nearley finished”, so i though f*cksake get on with it but thought fair does onto next exercise go back to incline, i completed 4 sets of 10 reps again this time on military press same rest time, he had pressed one set, i went over and said take it thats you finished, he said no, then his mate went over and started pressing and they started gabbing again, so i done another 4 sets of 10 on front raises this time his mate had done 2 sets and he had done 2 sets, so i said mate ive finished a full routine in the time youve been on one bit of equipment, then i said shit forgot i couldnt do one exrecise cos of one idiot (i was pisse dbut had to keep calm) in total this guy had been on one bit of equipment for 50 minutes, and most of it joking with his mates, now i feel i was right to say something, anyway one of his mates said “f*cking youngsters think they can have everything when they want” i said for f*cksake doesnt take 50 mins to for any bench press workout surely and whats the deal with the chicken walk is that part of his routine too, so this time guy does another set while im talking to his mate he gets off and goes there the F*cking machine prick, Now ive got anger problems and usually wouldve just plastered him with the a weight but got to now think about other things first and responsibilities.
So i made a joke saying F*ck is this all youve pressed (the guy was about twice my size) and upped the weight and done 6 reps same as them so after my four sets i came off and just said “F*ck four sets in just over ten minutes i must be training wrong shouldve took my time” the guy stormed off in a huff and next minute the gym instructor came down (he had went up and complained and said i had been cheeky and harrassing).
Now come on i dont think i was wrong was i? Anyway another gym member actually said he had been waiting on the equipment also and what he seen and that i had asked for the equipment and that i recieved cheek. Ohh yeah the boy that told the gym instructor what he seen also mentioned he was laughing at a young boy behind his back who was starting out lifting about his size and amount of weight he was lifting, i never seen that but for f*cksake everyones got to start somewhere, at least if anything give the boy some confidence help him out if he ever needs be. So after all that nonsense and the gym instructor telling us off like schoolboys it was over.
But honestly again was i right to moan at him, felt like it was a crime to ask if i could do sets in between his, its a petty situation but an annoying one also.
Has this happened to anyone else? Im not being silly am i? Know there must be other annoying and idiot gym users but when ive trained elsewhere if someone was taking there time they had the decency to either let me do a set here there inbetween theres etc.
Ach nevermind after finished this posting put it out my mind.
