I have to get this off my chest, “Things not to do In the Gym”
1. Sit on the only lat pull down in the gym on a busy day while reading a newspaper!
2. Park in the handicap parking and go in and jog or do aerobics for an hour!
3. Flat bench 35 lbs dbs and drop them on the floor each set!
4. Take over a flat bench leave your items on the bench then go to the other side of the gym and talk to a friend for an hour!
5. Start a rumor in the gym about someone you do not have the balls to confront!
6. Leave your weights out on the floor or bar when finished!
7. Give out advise when no one asked for it!
8. Sit and stare at the person next to you!
9. Do your stretching or warm-up’s in between the cross over cable area so no one else can use the cross over cables
10. Hire a personal trainer because your personality is so vile that you have no friends who would workout with you!
Please if I forgot a few add to the list.
