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

[Turd Ferguson]

There's a tuff guy at my gym that drinks water out of a one-gallon, plastic, gasoline can. Red and shiny with the safety vent and yellow spout. Looks really, really, hardcore.

No f'in way

A guy today was doing squats, well 1/4 squats LOL and had 4 or 5 45lb plates on each side. He unloaded one side and yep, the other side went cracshing to the floor almost killing my wife's workout partner!!

STUPID!!!!

he also asks the most embarrassing questions like "are we friends?". when he said that there were two guys around one old one in his 20's and they both stopped what they were doing the old guy started laughing and the younger guy just shook his head.

OMG, f-ing hilarious!!! If that wasn't so ridiculous I would almost feel sorry for this guy.

I've been laughing so hard at these I need to get up, my gut hurts!

That's my theory of spotting. I don't touch the bar if it's still moving. Actually I like to let them hang for a second or two to make sure they're really stuck , help a bit then when they're past the sticking point I release and let them finish the rep. When I'm done noone ever suggests loading on more weight

that is the perfect spot

One newb came to our gym one night and he really was all amped up about starting training. Ill give him credit cause he wanted to learn and do things the right way. He came up to me and was asking me a few questions about things and i gave him my opinions about different exercises and so on. Squats being one of them. So the next night he comes in and to my surprise he headed right for the squat rack. About 10 mins later we are all benching heavy getting into our workout, not really paying any attention to him at this point. Then my partner gets my attention and points over towards the rack. I look over and this kid is ass to the floor buried under 135, no safety pins in the rack. He has absolutely no option, no where to go lololol. So he decides to kind of roll forward off his feet and onto his knees! I dont know how that would be any kind of solution but it was fucking hilarious i can tell you that. So after about 15-30 seconds my partner gains his composure and goes over and grabs the bar and rips it off him with one hand, humiliating the kid even further haha. No, we never saw him again.

I remember seeing this somewhat big guy at the gym several weeks ago doing deadlifts with a bar from the bench with a 45 pound plate on each side. Each rep, he was screaming from the top of his lungs.

Probably destroyed that poor kids ego... That kid should definitely have a spot first starting out.
