I Might Kill The “I’m So Awesome” Guys At The Gym

My work schedule has completely changed this summer and that means scheduling my workouts a bit different. My gym has several locations around the area and since I work 30 minutes away I have opted to workout in the gym that’s closest to work so I can beat rush hour and not have to worry about being on time (I’m anal about punctuality).

The gym I have to admit isn’t as great as the one I was used to near my home, but it does the job… but there is one downfall:

There are 2 guys that workout together at the same time as me who think they’re the sh*t… excuse my language! But they have no disregard to me (since at 5:45 am I’m the only woman in the place) or my workout space. They made that quite clear when they could see I was using a bench in a superset and decided that that one bench was a great place to rest their butts between sets.

If you know me, I am not good at hiding my emotions and they quickly decided to clear the space before a plate knocked them upside their head (ok, not really but come on guys!)

Why is it that guys think we’re just there to “pretend to lift” they clearly don’t take me seriously even though I have already demonstrated that I use close to the same weight on many exercises that they do.  I just hate having to pull out my strength for them to give me some space and respect.

I have stayed calm so far but I might be on the brink of having to “politely” tell them to have some workout manors!
