Do you have any "insane trainers" in your gym?

[gtaman]

Most of these "weird people at the gym" threads seem to involve people who are pretty much out of shape.

This one is a bit different. This guy is in awesome shape, but he is going to kill himself. He trains as if he were trying to put himself through torture every day.

First off, he will come into the gym in the late afternoon and circle the track for what seems like an hour or so. By my standards the guy is running what amounts to a marathon before beginning a long grueling lifting routine.

Then he does his weight workout. It is always incline presses, and from what I can tell, 12-14 sets. He has been known to do this routine daily. He's not lifting as much as I do, but then again, he's doing 12-14 sets and looks to be about 6-1 and 160 lbs. (would be 180 but severe case of stick legs). And he's doing it 4-5 times a week!!! What a nutter!

His only other exercise is pullups.

I have never seen him work

- traps
- legs
- biceps
- etc. etc. etc.

Because this guy trains past all sensible limits I suspect he has to be either crazy or "on something." Maybe he is on low doses of test or maybe speed. Otherwise he'd keel over, you would think.

He certainly isn't big, and does have stick legs, but his chest and shoulder development are unbelievable (and probably will be until the day he completely rips his shoulders out of their sockets) and he is ripped.

His whole workout seems to take 3 hours, sometimes more. He is not what you'd call a bodybuilder - personally I think he is a nut case. I don't know how someone who eats so little can train so hard for so long without incurring severe damage. Oh yes I also overheard him say he sleeps 5 hours a night, not sure if it's believable though.

Yea, you definitely get some strange cats in gyms. You leave the door open…you never know what'll walk in.

This one dude at my gym named Ron,peolpe call him"BIG RON".He is pretty mellow and down to earth when he is not on a cycle,but when he is on the sauce watch out!He comes into the gym with headphones on banging his head to heavy metal and singing to himself in between set ,psyching himself up for the next set.He close grip bench press @315 for sets of 10.That fucker goes ape shit in the gym when he is jacked.

There's a female trainer at my gym that just took 4th place in the lightweight division at the nationals! She's pretty shreddded!! Not to insane though!

LOL!. Thanks for the amusing post bro. I know exactly what your talking about. They usually have perfect form too because of so much repitition of motion...well maybe not perfect form, but perfect execution of motion.

My crazy dude is Dionel....he is a white dude but grewup in the hood and his mom gave him a bro name. He is around19 and 6'3 160, a skinny dude but has muscular development....his legs are super skinny....looks like he has polio....he maxes over 300 on the bench and with good form.....He is a freak of nature....comes in the gym talks to himself for a while then bangs the weights. Dudes love to rip on the bro...but I think its jealousy because of his adnormal strength....and he is a really nice kid to boot.

there is this one guy in my gym named joe he is something like 55 and probably 215 right ripped at about 5'9 or so,this guy has been at it for 30 yrs,i suspect he juices but that isnt the point,one time he went to pull 480 off the floor for a deadlift,got it half way up and dropped it then started kicking it saying,fuckign piece of shit god dammit,this guys is the most hardcore guy ive ever met,still kinda scarey cuz he talks to himself all the time

I'm probably the one that best fits "insane" at my gym. Mostly because its not a very hardcore place. Everybody stares in amazement when I do deads, not because I'm all that strong, but simply because nobody else does them. Before I squat I'll kick the cage with my shins a few times, maybe smack my forearms hard against it, that gets people wondering. I probably stand out as a pretty wacked dude at my gym, but at any real gym, I'd probably fit right in.

I train at a College gym, and sometimes the deadlift/olympic platforms are always full, along with the squat racks. By none other than the female track team, there are two bitches that rep with 315 for squats. Mind you they have the biggest quads, ass, and hips you have ever seen in your life.

We have one true nut in our gym. He's 6'3" looks about 240 or 250 at maybe 12%. He's a "pumper" he does 1/4 range movement, and he'll bang off 15 reps in under 10 seconds. It looks like he's jacking off. Who thought training like that would get you so huge? (Nothing to do with the 1.5 grams of test he is on a week)

There is a personal trainer in my hometown who is a former Mr. USA, he's a nut. Does coke before he trains and and lets his nose bleed. Sounds like bullshit, but it's true. If any of you older guys 30+ have followed the sport for awhile, e mail me if you want to know.
