Righto I noticed that there is nothing like this on the forum yet..(unless I'm blind)

And I need a place to vent :D

The First thing that really pisses me off is when people drop the dumbbells. Had a guy dropping them from head height after doing some shoulder presses.. IF you can not lower the weight under control... DON'T F&UCKING pick it up!!!

People trying to do ridiculous amounts of weight on bench press where it's obvious that they wouldn't be able to move it without the help of the guy behind them.. The spotter is there to help a little bit.. Not do half the weight for you

I can think of so many more but ill give you guys a chance to express your frustration :)

Ive got heaps of complaints. Mainly stuff ive heard

"I really yeah want big arms and chest" yeah I good luck with that.

"I wish I had abs" your diet doesn't suggest that.

Then theres people who squat massive weight with a really small range of motion.

I worked with this one guy who had a massive upper body and couldn't see any reason to do leg work. He also let me know how keen he was to use roids to get big.

People that superset, but leave their shit on the equipment they are not currently using, but then go and have a drink for 5 minutes, go to their toilet, talk to their mate on the other side of the gym etc....

also people that stare at me during bench press

People nowhere near a piece of equipment, with no stuff left there either...who come and say sorry mate I was using that. No you weren't, if you were using it you'd be on it.

People who awkwardly stand near the equipment you're using, waiting for you to finish instead of asking you how long you have left. You can feel them touching you with their eyes. I tend to do an extra set when this happens.

Oh and guys who come up to me when I am using a piece of equipment and ask me how much longer am I using it for, especially lat pulldown. Can you not wait 2 minutes?

People doing 140 pounds on lat pulldown machines who let the stack slam down at the end of their set (usually short people). It takes NO effort to use your own bodyweight to slowly release it. If I can do it with 250 pounds on the pin, you can do it too shorty.

been a very long time since I went to a gym however , being told by bodybuilder types and PT's that I was going to hurt myself when I was doing heavy leg stuff - machine work (leg press/hack/ donkey) or freeweight squats .

Some safisfaction in making them feel inadequate as they watched but, usually it meant I was doing a few extra reps to rub it in and that would throw out my routine.

People who are shouting when doing isolation work like bro-cep curling.

I agree there is no pain that is unbearable when working such a small muscle

Also people who put neons on skylines, who aren't scifi fans imagining they are in a spaceship.......... thats a legitimate condition.

(in the gym or anywhere)

I also have the issue of no spotter friends, it would help to motivate me to work harder as I know I am pretty lazy.

No one would look at me doing bench press at a gym however. Your spotter would be of double value as you could have a spotter friend spot staring goofs for you and tell them where to go.

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
