Morons at the gym (the official thread)...

I actually had a PT w/client come up to me the other day and tell me that I HAD to get off the squat rack while I was in the middle of my set ! ! !
The reasoning behind this is that the "client" was more important.

Oh and I HATE all the muscleheads who treat anyone who is not on "Par" with them like crap. . . I saw a pair of "bullies" actually throw a kid off of a bench once. Fuck them!!!

so with the new year there are lots of newbies running around. well today i saw 2 girls, prolly ~15ish, and i think it was their first time ever using any sort of machine (so i cant knock um to hard). Anyway the two are side by side, one doing hamstrings, the other quads. Girl A is complaining the whole time how weak she was cuz she could barely do any reps. SO they switch machines and Girl B says why did you have the weight set @ 95lbs? Girl A says cuz thats my bodyweight. Arent you suppose to set the pin to whatever you weigh? SO in essance this girl was doing her own body weight for every exercise! luckly her friend was there to explain it.

The last thing i heard them say was they wanted to do /every/ machine in the place before they left today. Good attitude, Im sure it wont stay that way for long.

Don't forget the short shorts, black socks guy who ties up three stations at once because he likes to superset. I made the mistake of moving toward one of his stations and he jumped my sh*t, even though he was a good five minutes away from actually using that machine, because he was moving at the speed of slow. I apologized and did my set anyway and left the full stack that I used to do my rope triceps extensions for him to see. I asked if he needed me to put the pin all the way back up for his set. I'm usually not a jerk, but this guy steamed me.

I work 8-10 hrs at a semi-physical job. Heat, coolant, oil, etc. After work I went to the gym & did 50ish minutes on various cardio machines, then went in to change. the guy at the locker beside me said, with a slight grin, but disdain in his voice, "Man, you stink!"
I said, "Do you have a lawyer?"
He kinda looked at me like I was gonna slug him & said, "Yeeeeeeeeeees."
I said, "Good, then sue me." Then went back to changing & waving my stanky pits in his face.

After occasionally seeing guys use gym towels as 'butt floss' (kinda using a sawing motion to get every drop out) I will never touch another gym towel again - there ain't enough bleach in the world.

lol butt floss? I was at squat rack in a crowded gym didn't want to lose the rack while going to the bathroom so I puked in a towel, it was only a lil bit, finished my set then threw it in the trash, I'm so considerate

I gotta admit, I've never seen anyone do that.

Some morons today.....i was sweating out my squats and bench presses...headphones on and everything......as im setting up for a new 5rm set some guy asks me if i was using the ab machine on the other side of the gym and i politely replied no....so this guy just keeps talking to me about how that ab machine is great and how he doesnt squat because he doesnt want his (toothpick) legs to get "too" huge....i laughed and just started my sets and he got it and walked away........

another thing was a bunch of guys home from college joined the gym for a month of w.e......every day im in there m,w,f for my 3x5 this one kid who used to act all badass last year ( he graduated and im a senior now) was there....i was doing squat,bench,deadlift and the whole time i was there he did about 125 sets of bicep curls for his already fat arms...then did some smith machine bench and other fluff exercises....after i deadlifted he asked me what that lift was...i told him it was a deadlift and he replied oh, those are killer for quads and calfs right? i just laughed and said no they r for back...he said oh, i dont really see the back workout in that....why dont you just do behind the head pull downs (on the machine)...i didint feel like talking to him anymore so i just left....lol
