Things that annoy you in the gym

1. People not putting weights back.

2. Guys lifting heavy weights with incorrect form resulting them thinking they're some sort of beast.

3. People on phones not working out while using equipment.

4. Bro- science (Google it)

5. Curling in the squat rack.

I'm going to take my rest when I need it. Why should I sit there bored when I can do something on my phone?
Guys who work out in fleeces/coats etc. I get that they're trying to sweat off weight but god it looks stupid, and surly it's just water weight anyway :s

Normally I see people using their phones for longer than a minute. I don't see why people should be "resting" any longer than that.

Never understood the whole layering themselves with clothes in attempt to "work a sweat"

Educate yourself then. You are the problem, not them.

Also that statement heavily implies you don't squat. Ergo your 5th point is invalid.

If it's a one-off thing could be legit; maybe working off water weight for a weigh-in or something...

I was referring to other equipment that the squat rack. I do squat, thank you very much.

90 secs is generally the upmost you should be resting,

Depends on how heavy you're lifting. If you tax your CNS with massive low-rep squats you can rest longer without issues

Agree to disagree, I'm not getting in an argument with a person with no picture on the Internet.

Without sounding like an arrogant S*** I'd like to think my results speak for itself.

As a rule of thumb, Short rest periods – about 30 seconds Long rest periods – 2 minutes to 5 minutes Moderate rest periods – about 60-90 seconds.

My point was aimed at people who do not work out strenuously enough to warrant the 5 minute rest period.

What's wrong with this?
Not many things annoy me, if it doesn't affect me, I rarely care.

Urgh. It was like 29 degrees outside and the gym was sweltering yet there he was in his fleece hoodie. I saw him lift it up at one point and he had this grey T shirt on underneath which was totally drenched. So gross.
