I`m OCD in other ways. Mostly around training.

In the gym, most certainly as this is not your residence no matter how much time you spend in there. In essence you are a guest and should treat it with respect. You do not go into someone's house and start messing things up. Granted things are not going to get put back exactly how the owner wants them all the time, but an effort needs to be made.

At home, no. It is my house and I will leave things all over the place. Not worth the stress of constantly having things in their exact and proper places all the time.

I`ve always put things away in a gym never thought much about it. Its things like having to have the collars on a bar all facing the same way & similar such things that makes me OCD.

wouldt say I was ocd but Im a creature of habit and I dont like change

[SpageHopkins]

To be fair when i train at home in the back garden there is no light
and I can lay my hands on the correct weights in the dark.
I always put away in the same manner so I do appreciate your ways in the gym.
The order and tidiness is a selling point of the gym (thats why we put up with you).

When you mention the tidiness everyone says thats good but no one ever says "Oh i dont care I throw the weights all over the shop and expect someone to clean up after" begs the question who does do it then. I think a lot of people think it was like that when I got here but if they just returned the weights they used it would soon be back in order.

No one is a football hooligan
No one is a middle lane hogger
No one drops litter
No one goes to lap dancing clubs

Just for the record I am not No one

[Melas Zomos]

yes they are!!!

I thought you were part Scottish, looks like you are part Nazi too me

Just kidding bro. It is my experience that you can get them to put the majority of things in their proper places, but it is absolutely impossible to keep them mixing up the 10,5,2.5lb plates on the weight trees and you are going to lose that battle.

I was not aware that was "OCD" material. To me that is the way it should be done and anyone that does not do it like that has no clue what they are doing and is just a newbe or mentally challenged.
How can putting collars on be considered "OCD" when that is how they should go on the bar?
Now I have gotten in heated debates over the proper face positioning of plates on the bar, so perhaps I am OCD on that, but the collars only go on one way as far as I am concerned.

Misinterpretation;

If I am using spring collars then each collar has to be in EXACTLY the same place/angle on both sides of the bar. Same with the screw ones, all nuts to top or bottom, no pointing at different angles.

Yeah, that is major OCD definitely a misinterpretation.
