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

[silver_shadow]

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

well actually, deads are a compound lift that do involve the quads and hammies too, apart from back and abs.

I reckon that deads involve everything except, maybe, the pecs.

This isn't really a specific story. But it's quite amusing seeing obvious noobs come in the gym, and looking pretty lost in how to start working out... Lol one time I seen a guy some in, and I guess he was so lost he just started doing calve raises lol...sometimes they start with rope downs...they are just so lost. Or when someone goes hard on the treadmill just looking beat, then they start thier workout, big pumps!

Speak for yourself, well I must post something amusing now. Yesturday I was getting one 35 for triceps, and I noticed there was only one, and one 40... some guy puts them back (35 and a 40) after doing DB bench, just realiseing he had two different dumbbells, the look on his face was incredible.

Noticing you were using two different dumbbells after the set...priceless

I've done that, putting weights on the bar, missing a plate. tens aren't bad, but 25's are difficult, LOL.

At my gym there is a 16 year old (I asked his age, which might come off wrong haha) who thinks he's big time, probably 5'10 and like 170 lbs. he was taking pictures of himself with his camera phone in the mirror hitting all the poses. nothing like seeing a punk kid hit double bicep pose with nothing there.

he later told me he is trying to get to junior nationals for bodybuilding...good luck to him but haha he isn't close.
