Has anyone notice how much different gyms are with social interaction compared to 10+ years ago?
I've notice very few people asking for spots today compared to years ago for example. In 2014 pretty much everyone in the gym is walking around with earbuds. Not saying its a bad thing just an observation
and today, guy in the hack squat machine was facing down towards the machine

It's okay. If you look at the machine it doesn't look like something you should lay face down on. Not sure it's really intended, but yeah it is legit to do. IIRC it works the glutes better than if you're turned 180.
Are you guys talking about this, using it like a hip drive?
music at chain gyms is horrible. I regularly go to a 24hr fitness and the music is atrocious, to the point if my ipod dies I have serious consideration to leave. The other day an old Britney Spears song was playing, why? I'm buddies with a few people that work there & the ones that have talked about the music say they can block it out - I don't think I could do that. I guess I wouldn't hold up under music torture, no spy career for me.
Yeah, I just realized the one I posted doesn't have much of an incline.the one at my gym has more of an incline,
and the guy using it while facing down, was definitely not going nearly as deep.
That is awful. Ones at my gym are usually on news channels - CNN or Fox - or sports and they are tuned into radio frequencies for the sound & all have close captioning.the TVs at my gym are stuck on Nickelodeon's. good thing the volume is turned down, the music is the typical Pop stuff.

you don't lift in your gi pants? you're missing out
I lift on my gi pants all the time because I always stop at the gym on my way to jiu jitsu to warm up with three sets of light squats.
I'm waiting the day she does this to me, it won't work.
I train in a commercial gym so there's always a guy without a towel, sweating all over some bench, usually accompanied by a trainer who doesn't give a shit.I only went to a public gym once in my life, and that once was enough:
It was a long time ago, but the gym was small so there was maybe max 2 of each workout equipment. One guy just started his workout on the bench, and the other guy was finishing up. I waited for the guy who was almost done to finish his bench.
So this guy was dripping sweat all over the bench. It wasn't just a little bit of sweat... but puddles of it. Now I'm not saying that he should have disinfected the entire thing, but the least he could do was wipe it down.
So I was waiting for bench, he got up, smiled and said: "Here ya go".
I was so grossed out. I'm still grossed out just thinking about it.
Not a gym idiot but felt like sharing.
Theres this awesome ass bird who trains in my gym. I'm talking text book squat booty. Her ass is Jen Selter level, its incredible. Whenever she walks in, EVERY guy watches her.
Anyways, so yeah shes a 'squat chick'. Probably has an instagram with about 200 pics of herself in yoga pants doing a duck face.
Whenever shes in here, she warms up on the cross trainer and stares out whoever is in the squat rack, then she always goes over and asks how many sets they have left and every single time, whoevers in it just stops what they're doing and gives it over.
