You know what really grinds my gears?

If you have followed this blog at all, you would know that Sunday is rest day and therefore we will not be providing a workout for you today.

I know that the information and tips we post on this blog tend to all lean towards a positive standpoint, but today I am going to switch things up and just vent a little bit.

10 Types of People At The Gym that Grind My Gears (No Particular Order)

1. Cell Phone Sally- Nothing cracks me up more then when I see some random girl who clearly never hits the gym, on her phone while in the middle of doing an exercise on a machine.... Just go home.
2. Water Fountain Walter- This is the name I have given to that dude that's 4'11 and walks over to the water fountain at the same time as you. This guys more than a foot shorter than me, clearly sees me going to the water fountain at the same time as him, yet still decides to take the fountain that's a foot taller than the other one..... Like what? First off, you have to get on your tippy toes to even drink from this fountain... And yeah, let me just bend down like three feet to get a sip of water. Thanks man.
3. Misplacing Mitch- So I grab the 35 pound dumbells to hit a set of curls. About 30 seconds after I grab them, some guy comes in and puts his 45 pound dumbells where I just took my 35's from. Sweet man. First off, there's clearly a little number on the rack that says "35". Now I have nowhere to put my dumbells after I complete my set. This just sets off a chain reaction. Before you know it, the 80's are where the 20's are supposed to be, and so on. Thanks for the cluster mess.
4. Grunting Gregory- We get it. You're the biggest guy in the gym. Just because of this doesn't mean that every single rep of every single set you have to make grunting/roaring noises. Just keep to yourself like the rest of us and keep taking your roids man. You don't look unnatural at all (yes you do).
5. This next person I don't even know what to call. He's basically the owner of the gym, yet doesn't even work there. Every machine within a ten foot radius of him he goes up to you and says "Hey bro, I'm using that", and of course he says it in a completely condescending way. Like sweet. Didn't know you could claim ten things at once. Guess I'll just hit cardio today since all the machines are suddenly off limits. 
6. Sunglasses Steve- You're in the gym, sweating your butt off and you look over and some dude is on the other side of the weight room wearing his $700 Gucci sunglasses, doing 10 pound bicep curls while admiring himself in the mirror. We get it man, you're the coolest guy on earth. It's not sunny in here though. Ditch the shades and grab some 30's. 
7. Combo Cory- Between every set you notice that some random guy decides to throw dozens of combo air punches. Who are you fighting man? There's a boxing room with about a dozen heavy bags literally 50 feet from you right now. Unless you're Floyd Mayweather, keep the punches to yourself. 
8. Music Mike- You're in the sauna trying to get some of the toxins out of your body. Peacefully sitting there, drinking copious amounts of water, and talking to your workout partner. Suddenly, company arrives. You scoot over to make room for this guy and about 30 seconds later he starts blasting music from the speakers on his phone. It's called headphones man. Just because you want to listen to that new song by 3 Doors Down, doesn't mean anyone else in here does. Thanks for ruining my experience in the sauna today. 
9. Helpful Henry- So the other day I am at the gym with Somerville, hitting my fifth set of dumbell incline. Naturally, my muscles are tired and on my last set I was unable to get the last rep. Twenty minutes later some random guy walks up to me and was like "Hey man, the reason you didn't get that last rep is because you were gripping the weight wrong." Thanks man, you're the skinniest guy in the gym, you probably go maybe once a week, and now you're telling me how to lift. Five minutes later I see this guy maxing out on bench with 135 and getting it stuck on his chest. He clearly knows what he's talking about. 
10. Social Steve- You see this guy at the gym. You see him there almost every day actually, but not once have you seen him hit a rep of absolutely anything. This is the guy that walks around the gym with his girlfriend or his buddies, yet never seems to workout himself. What are you doing here man? Out of the two hours at the gym he'll probably hit 3 set of arms and 3 sets of shoulders. On machines of course. 

Remember, tomorrow is Monday and we will be back at it. In the mean time, drink lots of protein and water to help repair your muscles on this off day.
