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.

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.

How would you know this? You should be cocentrating on your press... Unless they re standing over you while they state of course haha

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

no when I sit up to rest I see them.

I don't have a spotter, have no friends

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
