bothersome people at the gym

[CaddysNJuice]

yep bad form mofos. me and my boy who used to lift together had names for every type of dumbass. actually i hate 5 foot 7 guys with about 20% bf that weigh 230 and walk around like they are ronnie cause they can press like 275. if you are 230 put up 300 minimum. shit im doing way more than i weigh

Bro, believe it or not. In todays society, it is not uncommon for most men to not be able to bench their own weight. i read this somewhere, but typical men can bench COMFORTABLLY and CONTROLLED, about 80% of their body weight. 100% is looks at to be a feat to beat. But i feel ya, i weigh 168 and bench 210 repping and 285 max. Pushing for 300 by the end of summer.

I would think most "chemically assisted" bodybuilders and strength athletes should bench 1.5-2X their bodyweight for a 1 rep max. My bodyweight is my warmup weight.

there is this old man that goes to my gym and it seems that he'll wait til I get done with a set and when I got my back turned he jumps on my apparatus and changes everything. The seat height, weight, the knee or feet pads. Then does one set and walks away. The last time I stopped him and told him he didn't need to jump in and do one set and fuck all my shit up. So go off and do one more set of another exercise and I'll be done and you can do your pointless set of 12-15 and do something else.

The guys the do half reps and then look round to make sure no one missed him.

Most of all the guys that use the cable cross overs to train there whole body while i have to f-ing what for them to finish. " now i ask how long are you gonna be "

The guy that thats 10mins to do a set - like i've got all day to wait.

Shit.... these a lot more things i hate but these will do for starter.

This didn't really bother me, but it was the weirdest exercise I've ever seen.

A girl, soccer build, probably early 20's, went over to the power rack. Any girl in the power rack is cool to me, so I kept an eye on her.

She grabbed one of those 1/2 excercise balls. I'm not sure what they're called, but it looks like half a regular exercise ball, except the bottom of it is flat, hard plastic, so they don't move around when you're on them.

She turns it upside down, rounded part on the floor, and stands on the flat part. She manages to get the bar on her shoulders, and starts doing good mornings.

So, she's wobbling all over the place trying to keep from falling off this thing that she's turned upside down, and leaning forward trying to squeeze out good morning reps at the same time. Weird shit. Surprisingly, she didn't kill herself.

That's Core. It's no joke. I saw this muscle bitch doing 1 legged squats w 135 lbs on one of those 1/2 balls.

No shit. Congrats to her.

I hate the guys that always try to out lift everyone. A couple of weeks ago I had a guy that after every fucking exercise I did he would do the same thing with more weight ( and worse form) Like he was trying to show me up. Gotta love the military presses that barely reach the forehead.

If I saw a guy shadow box..... id think id piss my pants laughing so hard.


God would that be halarious.

Old men that come to work out wearing slacks, button up and penny loafers...WTF

Trainers that steal your station without asking.

People that try to communicate with you even though you are wearing headphones turned all the way up. I CANT HEAR YOU JACKASS, why are you trying to talk to me.

Yeah, thats a good one. I have some angry white man metal blasting away and this guy is wanting to know how I get so big. lol Anymore I just tell them steroids and the look on their face is priceless.

I think that is HOT. You know they are there for a reason...I guess maybe my SN says too much ;-)

P.S. this is in response to the post about the older ladies that get done up for the gym -shape-

the old men with the wrinkled balls in the locker room are pretty bad too I have to admit. I hate it when their locker is right next to yours and their standing all close to you. Im telling myself dont look man dont do it and it makes my mind wanna twitch to keep from looking.
