After reading Jimbo’s post, I was refueled to start making posts of my own. A little update as to my life in general - I just moved, and had to join a new gym. This was really an interesting experience, which I will be discussing over a series of posts where I complain about the process. 

I’ve also been working full time on starting a fitness company which I’ll talk more about later (and which has been keeping me from being more active on here). 

The first area of gym etiquette I’d like to discuss is short and simple.

“Racking Weights.” 

After you use an exercise with free weights (such as bench press for example), one should generally put the weights back in their appropriate pegs on the weight tree (as pictured - mind you, the weights are not put back correctly). This is helpful for the next person, who will be using those weights, as well as the next person to use the exercise you were just on.

Continue reading for scientific theories about racking weights.

I know what you’re thinking, “Wow, thats news to me!” but seriously, we all understand this simple concept - so why are there people who still leave weights on their exercises, or feel the need to just throw them anywhere? Well I’ve recently formulated a theory as to why. There are people who go to the gym, spend a lot of time exercising, and at the end of the day, are still a highly technical term I like to use called, “lazy fucks.” 

Yup, they’re motivated enough to drive to the gym, and break a sweat, yet moving a weight back to its original place of origin is so impossible? Its as if I’m working out with a bunch of prepubecent little pricks who can’t clean their room.

I know this doesn’t go on at every gym (it didn’t at my last one), but for some reason it pisses me off and you don’t want to piss off Mr. T. 

Fuck em if they can’t take a joke.
