There are many different types of people you see at the gym. Some who follow the unwritten rules, and others who have no regard for said unwritten rules. So I've compiled a list of those at the gym who are the major offenders.

1. Guy who curls in the squat rack

You are everything that is wrong with society. You are the guy who only does upper-body and has no regard for his lower half. You take equipment away from people who are there to do real lifting. You are what we call a "Try Hard."

2. Person who steals your equipment when you leave for half a second

You are, in fact, the worst person in the entire world. Are you that impatient that you must use the equipment that you saw me using? Yeah, I went to grab a drink because I forgot my water bottle at home, but that doesn't give you the right to start using my equipment. And don't give me that, "I thought you were done using this" BS. You saw me go over there and do one set. In that moment, I just hope all bad things just happen to you, and only you.

3. The Socialites

You're the person that will talk to just about anyone. They could be mid-set or in between sets, and you'll walk up and start talking about the most random things. It will have nothing to do with working out, but you'll do it anyway. I have my headphones on, and yet you have no regard for the common lifter. I don't need to hear about your problems from when you blew your knee out that hindered your D-1 career. Or how you went to such-and-such a school back in the day. I so badly want to tell you to shut up and walk away before I throw a weight at you. Being in between sets doesn't give you permission to talk to me.

4. The Talkative Partners

You occupy machines and don't leave because you're too busy talking to your buddy. When you work out with your friends it's difficult to get in a good workout. You end up talking throughout most of your workout, and that's not what you're there for. Your partner is there to help you go until you can't anymore. But more often than not, that's not the case. I'm not bashing partners, I'm just not all too fond of them. The best partner I've ever had was my sister who is a bodybuilder and working to compete in her first show in May. We push each other because we know each other's limits. We don't sit there talking like most partners do. Once we put on our headphones, the rest of the world can wait until we are done working out. Some people don't seem to respect that anymore, and it's a shame.

5. The Spotter

Furthermore, if I ask you to spot me while I'm benching, squatting, or what have you, that does not mean we are best friends. You're there to make sure that I don't kill myself. And once you've accomplished that, I'm going to go about my business and so should you. That's what some people tend to forget. Don't be that guy. Nobody likes that guy.

6. The Know-It-All

Now, I can take advice just as well as anybody on how to better my lifting technique, but don't come at me with "You're doing it all wrong" and "Let me show you how it's done." That's a surefire way for me to walk away from you before you finish your sentence. I've had that happen to me before. 10 times out of 10 I will laugh in your face and leave. I already know what works and what doesn't. And at that point, you've already ruined my workout. #sorrynotsorry

If you're still reading this and not butthurt because I'm calling you out, well then congrats. I may still have some respect for you.

7. The Grunter/Show Off

Everyone has their own grunts, but yours, yours is so loud that I can hear you outside of the gym. Alright, so I may be exaggerating a little bit, but still, you're really loud. It's like you want everyone to know that you're lifting some heavy sh*t. To be honest, none of us actually care. You're the guy that will judge everyone because they can't lift as much as you. Words cannot describe how much I don't like you.

8. The Basic Bench and Curl Bro

You have no regard for any other muscle groups. As long as your chest and bi's look good, then you look good. LOL, OK. You are the guy who will do 10 sets of bench, increasing the weight after every set. Then go do some bicep curls before ultimately leaving after maybe an hour at the gym. You get zero gains. And you are going to look funny until you realize that chest and bi's aren't "what it's all about."

9. The Cardio and Squat Chick

You are the one that will spend 30 minutes on any cardio machine available at the time, mostly the treadmill. After your 30 minutes are up, you make your way to the squat rack where you stay... the entire time. I understand you all want that nice firm butt, and immaculate legs like Carrie Underwood, but there are sooo many other ways to work out. You don't have to be a female bodybuilder to work upper-body. No, you won't get huge, you will get more tone, though. But you know, do you boo boo.

If this doesn't do it for you, take it from my good friend, Dom Mazzetti, Mr. Broscience himself here.

I'm not the biggest guy in the gym, nor will I ever be. I just don't want any of you, my readers, to fall into these categories. And if you're a little offended by this, well then tough luck. This is just your wake up call to help you become a better patron at the gym. I don't feel bad, because this is something people, even I myself, fail at. But don't worry, we will work through this together. So keep your head up and break out from these stereotypes. #FitFam
