Quick one for you:
I workout at my home gym these days and don't get to see these peckerwits regularly. Last week I was practicing jerks when I managed to catch my chin on my first rep with 200bs. Nearly knocked myself out cold. Hit my chin and just let go of the bar. Took about 3 seconds to register, after the weights crashed off the floor.
WHAT A MORON HEY?

haha I did that warming up with like 135 on the bar hit myself right in the chin and I almost knocked myself out. I had to rest about 10mins before even attempting to continue.
On a side note, my new school gym has trainers from 4-5PM. I was warming up dead lifting 225lbs not really caring too much about farm just trying to get my blood flowing and this guy comes over and gives me a lecture about how it was a lot of weight and wanted to make sure I had good form. He wouldn't leave me alone I think he thought since no one has done over 3 plates (I goto a pussy ivy league college) that I might hurt myself.
Two days later I am doing squats and some kid asks to join in. I'm warming up and he was saying that I went too deep in my squat (olympic style), and his 1/20th ROM were a lot better. I still out squatted him which was great.

No one realizes how difficult squats can be when they are done correctly (full ROM). Our gym has a ton of people who can 1/2 smith squat 300 lbs. I must look like a total pussy doing 185-225 atg, but ditch my ego and work my body correctly.
We have the usual assortment of rack curlers but that doesn't really affect anybody but myself on squat days.
Major gripe about my gym is the absence of loose barbells. The only bars available ar on the benches and squat racks which basically forces someone who needs to do deads to tie-up a rack or steal a bar from a bench. This I would call the 'dumbasses who own the gym' thread. LA Fitness. Oh well, inexpensive and close to home and more weights than I could ever hope to lift but wish for a more hardcore atmosphere.

I still see the guy who used to do this at the gym...apparently someone told him what a toolbox he looked like and must have stopped. Mark my words, if I see someone drinking from a gasoline can again I will take a picture. I'll make it obvious when I snap it, too.
There something even more stupid than seing somebody doing half squats, which is a short guy doing half squats. There is one of these morons at the gym I workout and the guy thinks is fucking hardcore and mistreats other members being an asshole all the time. his squats look like a rabit trying to fuck the lady bunny.
Another is the kind of moron who does half scott curls and quoting Charles Poliquin as if he was "pinguin having an epileptic seizure..."

Had to share this one...
Ever so carefully, our moron takes his time and lines up 3 med balls about 4 feet apart. A quick breath, and some time to focus, and he attempts to stand on the first ball. Success! Knees slightly bend, arms out head up. He struggles to balance on the first ball. Then with a violent leap of faith, our moron jumps into the air, attempting to land gracefully on the second med ball. Failure!! The ball slips out to the left, he falls right and lands flat on his back. The ground shakes. I burst out in laughter and our moron quickly gathers himself and rises to his feet.
Who seriously goes to the gym, and attempts to jump around on medicine balls?

I wear my ipod , and try to make as little eye contact.
One day I was resting between sets and watching the activity in the gym. I was watching the telephone yackers, doods standing around, little girls doing stiff legged deadlifts infront of the boys, the magical floating ass of one dude bench pressing I though his spine was gonna snap
Shit made me sick I wanted to round them all up like cattle and herd them out the door and tell them to fuck off somewhere else.
Out of about 40 people boucing around the gym doing nothing i would say 10 could have stayed. 3 guys that are serious
and a handful of women , they have on ipods also , make little eye contact and bust their asses off and avoid the fools also.
Boy sometimes these people that step into a gym should be sat down and told to watch some intructional videos on how to work out correctly and use the machines properly.
