some hilarious stuff....

the other day i saw this same guy i mentioned earlier (the guy who wears the "i love medical transcription" t-shirt). so i've just finished a set of chinups and i turn around and i see this guy in the smith machine. he'd put the bar up real high and he was actually hanging upside down with his knees folded around the bar.... weird :-o

Tell him next time that he can get more reps out if he doesn't move the bar so far. He's losing energy with all that movement. You could even point out that gravity is slightly weaker the further away from the ground the bar is. That explains why you can use more weight at the top of the rep and why long-armed guys can bench more.

Dude no way long arm guys can bench more. They have to push the weight much further. I usually see short guys benching more than taller guys.

We have a guy who utters "kha" during every rep of every set of every exercise he does. There's this seemingly endless cadence of "kha, kha, kha, kha ..." through his 12 or 20 reps then a couple of minutes pause before it starts again.

Lol ... you are sure that your gym is in GB ? Because there is one with this disorder at my gym as well. Or maybe its a new sect or something and we did miss it ...

All the time I read about your encounters with jackasses at the gym that do rediculous workouts, make resiculous claims simply do lifts improperly with very limited range of motion. I personally like reading about them as them are always good for a chuckle. Post your stories here for us all to enjoy.

Here are 2 stories from my workout yesterday.

Yesterday I was doing squats which are pretty sad at this point in time, legs are by far my weakest bodypart. The weight doesn't feel heavy on my back at all (that used to be a big issue), thanks to this board I have the weight resting properly on my shoulders instead of my spine, I don't even feel it which lets me focus more on the actual squat.

Anyway I am just about to do my last set when these 2 douches tried to hurry me off the squat rack. I was doing full ATF squats (to get 4 reps of a whopping 195lbs, yes my legs are very week), while these 2 tools stair at me with an odd look on their faces like I'm doing something they've never seen before.

I remove my weights and give them the rack. The guy has that spung pad thing in his hand and gives me this look like he's hard core. They then proceed to do these 1/4 squats moving about 6" up and down (no exaggeration) working up to the same weight I just finished doing full ATF squats with. Of course after their set they would walk around with their chests pushed out like they were some kind of strongmen... Do they seriously think they are doing squats?

Then the one guy loads the bar up with a 45, 25, & 35 plate in that order (on each side) and does the same 1/4squat does about 2 times and I guess for the 3rd one he went down to far and learned pretty fast that he was unable to do a full squat with that weight... he just dropped and had to leave the bar on the rack.

Story #2, I was asked to spot this guy on the smith machine doing decline bench (the gym doesn't have a decline bench so a lot of the guys use the smith machine). It was loaded up with way more then this roid head could ever dream of lifting. He literally move the bear up and down like 3", I was like WTF is this guy doing. I stood there trying not to laugh and only helped him get the bar back to the top for the last "rep". He gets up and says "man, that sucked, I usually do more".

I see this that same guy try and tell his buddy to do his BBrows standing at a 45deg angle because he gets a better pimp that way. He didn't like it much when I mentioned that for the best possible back growth they should be done 90deg to the ground, back arched etc, and doing them at 45deg was more of a biceps workout then back. He was even more pissed when his buddy took my advice and did a few sets properly.

What is it with these guys doing these half assed lifts with such limited range of motion? I can see if they are injured but what's the point of loading up the bar only to do a half assed set.

bunch of fags

There really needs to be a correlation scale for beginners regarding machine bench press and actual free weight bench press. This high school kid worked up to 300 lbs. on the nautilus bench and decided to try it with free weights. He put 295 on the bar and told me he wanted to get 3-4 reps and a negative. Right after lift off...boom, right on his chest. I had to do one hell of an upright row.

And I'm sure every gym has the headphones guy who doesn't realize he's singing to himself out loud....

i love it when gay guys wear womens cheer shorts to the gym..they look so cool.. then another thing i love is when i leave my gym bag towel keys etc at a machine or bench and i come back from getting a drink of water and some motherfucker is using the machine.. and i just sit there and stare at them till they are done.. then they go 'oh you were using that' i dont respond and proceed with my workout..

Today I saw a guy absolutely destroying his biceps, but not in the good way. I was in there, and after my whole routine, which was 45 minutes, he was still diong curls. When I came in he was doing preachers, i saw him do 5 sets of those after i got there. Then he did standing BB Curls, 5 more sets, THEN 5 sets of standing DB curls. When I was leaving he was flexing in the mirror and smiling. I was smiling as well, knowing how much of an idiot he is.
