We all know them.
We all have dreams, we all have habits and we all have personality traits that are hard to ignore.
In the gym, a fusion of every one of those things come out inside four testosterone-fuelled walls.
Go do a session, however brief, and you'll definitely recognise some of these characters - if you don't, you might be one of them.
1. The "I'm using that" guy
He can't part with any of the weights or stations... just in case he needs them.
He might never use any of them but, for God's sake, the supersets - think of the supersets.

2. The man lifting far too much
He'll ask you for a spot - what he's really asking is for you to undergo a bicep session to lift the weight that he can't.

3. The ones improvising because they'd hate for you to think they don't know what they're doing
Yeah, good job...

4. The guy who doesn't need to be there
This does not need to be done in the gym.

5. The MMA guy
Shadow boxing, moving his feet as if he's ready for battle, asking boys to roll - just go to an MMA class.

6. The greatest spotter in the history of spotting

7. The guy who says you're doing it wrong
He can't just leave you alone. He needs to point it out - even if there's nothing to point out.

8. The combat guys trying to outdo each other
Ready for battle, always. But one man knows more than the other.

9. The GAA guy
Keep it dynamic, keep doing supersets, keep telling yourself to do more. You need to get ready for pre-season.

10. The weight-slammer
It would be too risky to try bringing 10kgs back down to the ground.

11. The screamer
Let it out. Let it all out.
