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

[steve_m33]

Haven't heard much mention of swiss balls, but this is the best swiss ball story I got...

40 year old guy walks into the gym with his own custom, handcrafted swiss ball (literally has his name on it and everything), proceeds to do his entire workout on the thing. Anyways, starts BB benching 185 on the thing, and I see him struggling to hit his last rep on the set.

So he's on this ball, bar is halfway off his chest, and homies not giving up. Face is BEET red. Then I see it. His natural instinct to arch his back takes over. I can see this swiss ball, in all its customized glory, teetering on the brink. The guy finally manages to jerk the bar to lockout, but as soon as he does it, the ball gives. It flies out beneath him, he falls STRAIGHT back and the bar drops right into his chest. The entire gym had to collectively pick their jaws up off the floor at this point haha.

And the best part is he was doing DB goblet squats on a BOSU like 15 mins later...

yeah man falling onto your back with 185 in your hands would wind you for sure, getting the bar off by himself would be even harder

Nah guys like that definitely are morons! If someone tried to help him, he probably would throw an insult. Trust me, guys who go to the gym with their own custom swiss ball with the their name on it are just the type of people you would want to ignore, completely!

Ok, Monday I am sitting on the incline bench with the shoulder press area right in front of me. The two frat boys put 135 on the bar and bounce it off their chest to lock out for 5 or 6 reps. Ok bad form nothing moronic. Well, 175 is now the weight being lifted. The frat bro drops the weight to his chest and humps the air 3 or 4 times to get the weight up. This is what it looked like: Shoulder blades only part touching seat. Body in a saint louis arch posistion with only feet touching the ground. So it was like he was doing a bench with only his shoulders touching not a shoulder press. The best part is when he was in this posistion was the quick thrustings of his hips like he was trying to drive himself into a fat chick.

Saw some guy lay on a flat bench doing some weird arm movement. He was laying on his side with his head resting on one hand sort of like he's posing. He then uses his other arm to hold a 5 pound dumbell and does a jacking off motion.. I think he was working his tricep or something. It was gay.

OMG I think the exact same guy was lifting this morning when I was in there. LMAO he was doing the exact same movement. We were on the next bench and I kept a straight face the whole time, and then when we finished our day, we're walking back to the lockers and I say to my friend, "Hey, did you see that guy fagging it up like he was posing for a Playboy spread?" He busted out laughing.
