People getting too close is one of my big gym gripes. Really gets to me that people can't see moving a bit would really help everyone out especially with this kind of stupidity. If he couldn't move his bench he could at least wait until you were resting to go.
I thought that was what he was going to do too, to be fair he was young but he didn't look a stranger to weights so I assumed he was just an ignorant so and so.I think this counts as a moan. I've had a 1/4 of a cold all week so I went gym monday, missed tuesday as I felt so rough, went yesterday and felt ok'ish, was gonna go again today but I got stuck at work can't fit it in
So I'm gonna try and go tomorrow and sat-sun to make up. I usually go 6 days but this poxy cold has sapped the energy from me.
So the relevence to this thread is colds, they're a because they just take that bit of spark and zip out of you that you need to get a good session in.
I don't feel 100% today anyway so I've had a Lemsip and I'm gonna lay on the sofa and whimper.

Missed yesterday and tonight due to one. 5 mile run tomorrow night, hopefully it's not too much of a step down from last time.
A 5 mile run should shake the bd out of you surely?I've suddenly got a bunged up nose now too. Shouldn't matter though as my nose is next to useless anyway, it got broke in my early twenties and one nostril is like a hypodermic(sp) needle and the other has the bore of a McDonalds straw so I do most of my breathing through my mouth.

Agreed although being new isn't an excuse. I've been only going 2months and I always place my weights back once I'm done, and wipe down the bench and cardio machines with the paper towels and APC provided in the gym. Does annoy me when people can't put things back properly.
Same here, although thats got more to do with not being a cock as opposed to being new and not knowing whats what.The newbies are dropping like flies at my gym, but there was a really big guy (gotta be 20 stone) going at the X trainer like a man possesed, sweating like a pregnant nun, I felt like cheering him on.

Ask him if he minds changing? Thats what I would do and if he complains remind him the bench is for the bench press, you don't need to be rude or give attitude, most of us are reasonable people.
I asked someone curling out of the squat rack the other day to do it elsewhere. I just politely said if he didn't mind, its a squat rack not a curl rack. He looked at me funny and I think my crazed expression from working out hard helped change his mind, he smiled and went to curl elsewhere.
All was good in the gym and I didn't even punch him in the face!

My gyms refusal to re-stock the paper towell dispensers because "they keep getting used up".
Combine that with an entrance at one end only, no AC, no extract or air change of any description and a roof with corrigated plastic sheets (magnifying glass) and its no wonder everyones pouring with sweat and dropping bars.
