Ive spoke to some of the personal trainers and staff, nobody likes him. He comes in every day, does exactly 1 activity for an excessive amount of time, stares down chicks tops and talks with his 2 goonies where every other word out of his mouth is "f ur moms c"
The first interaction i had with him was when he was using the assisted chinup/dip machine.
The location of this machine is adjacent to the squat rack, which had some plates on it so i wasnt sure which one he was using, at the time he was closer to the squat rack staring at himself in the mirror.
I go up to change the weight on the machine and he goes im not done with that yet. Fine i head over to the free weights and do a bunch of curl excersises, this take me about 35 minutes. As i rest between sets i watch to see if he is done.
This guy is about 6'2'' maybe 190 and does sets of 10 pullups with 88 lbs assist. after he does this one set he will spend 15 minutes walking around the floor, texting and looking at himself in the mirror.
Fine i head to the non-assisted chinup and do a bunch of negatives, then lat pull downs then, about 10 minutes later he finally hits the locker room.
Fast forward to yesterday.
He is using the squat rack to pump his guns when i arrive. FML as i planning on doing legs this day (only 1 squat rack at my gym).
Had a network moment said to myself "im as mad as hell and im not going to take this anymore." he finishes up his set and begins his lap around the gym mirrors. i decide to head over there.
I throw on some 45's and get ready to do my first set. He comes up and says im not done yet.

Hero: dont worry, by the time you finish looking at yourself in the mirror, ill be completely done with my 3 sets.
Villian: What does that mean?
Hero: did you not understand me?
Villian: f ur moms c you goddamn foreigner, i told you im not done.
At this point every single person in the gym comes over and listens to us argue
hero: i know. you work out for 3 minutes then spend 15 minutes looking at yourself in the mirror. In those 15 minutes i plan on using this machine. This does not interfere with your plan on using the machine. (here points over to freeweights) you havent looked at yourself in those mirrors yet, go over there while i finish my sets.
everybody in the gym laughs. He pushes me, i push him back and he trips over one of the plates he left out and falls to the ground. All the personal trainers get on him and take him out of the gym.
everybody claps for me.
My adrenaline is pumping so i add an extra 20 lbs to my squat and continue with my workout.
Forever a god, sir. You have diplomatic immunity in H&F imo.
First I'm working through my squats when this guy comes over with a toque on and has straps with a scowl on his face and goes to the squat rack next to me. I'm thinking this guy means some serious business, he loads 2, ten lbs on the bar, straps it up and does curls with a solid swinging motion.
Next I catch this younger asian kid out of the corner of my eye near the universal machine area, one leg wildly kick to the side like a dance move, but thats all I saw so thought maybe he might've tripped or was possibly a ninja (racist ban). So nearing the end of my session I observe same kid in the areobics room break dancing. What I caught earlier was the end of him warming up to start his break dancing routine.
this super unmuscular dude loads up 225 and asks for a spot. he says hes's going for 5 reps but will probably need help on the fourth one. ok fine whatever. he counts to three for a liftoff, and I help him get it up.
the bar drops immediately at 500mph, so i pull as hard as I can and manage to rack it. he gives me the ol' damn I havent lifted for a while. im just pissed cause i pulled something in my neck helping and now turning my head to the left/backwards hurts like hell and i have a basketball game (@*#)(@*#(
p.s. anything i can do besides ice/icy hot/massaging it ? this one doesnt feel too severe, but ive had strains that got worse the next day and lasted for a week or more

skinny guy loads the bar with with 90kg/198lbs for deadlifting, does no warm up sets and proceeds to bang out 8 or so reps with a really, really rounded back. then increases the weight to 100kg and repeats and 105 kg and repeats. his form was pretty much exactly like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCevN--t8Bg
should i have said anything? keep in mind that i'm pretty much a complete beginner and still learning to deadlift
no but if you've been lifting for a really long time then the answer is still no
if they ask go for it otherwise nononono
fun times yesterday
two dudes come in and are making a lot of noise. They do weighted chins at 1/8th rom and just making tons of sound on every rep and shouting. after their chins they elect to leave the barbell they moved on the other rack since it isn't their problem.
They then go to some pulling machine where you put weights on it, sit, and pull. Dude gets on, puts on a fair amount of weight, and the other guy gets on the other side and just yells "GO!" and then pushes it forward, while the guy in the machine pushes it back. Think of a see-saw but wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy funnier. I woulda filmed but left my phone at home.
Then they come over to DL while I'm pressing. 135 with actually pretty good form. No collars and no attempt to slow the weight down as it comes down, just earth shatteringly loud. They add a ten to each side, still no collars and at this point they are just full on Bobby Knighting the entire gym
DIG DEEP
OWN IT
DIG DEEEEEEEEEEP
I ask if I can work in for a minute and they say okay. I put two more plates on each side and pull 335 in oly shoes, put it down quietly, don't unrack my weights and walk out of the gym
