Last week at work one of my co workers comes up to me and tells me he just broke up with his girlfreind so he now has time to go to the gym. Whatever the fuck thats supposed to mean. I look at him thinking obviously this is the same kind of person who is a New Years Resolution idiot by his comment. I was like "OK!". This guy is about 170 lbs and 6'3", he looks like a greyhound. Greyhound asked me some stupid shit, that if he spent a minute of his free time he could just google. I normally try to help people but I can spot someone who is doing it just to give it up 2 weeks later. I go to the gym that night and see him there, trying to bench press 220lbs. His spotter was rowing it for him. The best part of this story is when greyhound comes into work and asks me if I knew what "these weird lumps are on my stomach?" I told him he probably has a hernia and should go get it checked out. He in fact had 3 hernias from doing like 240 lbs on the abdominal machine. Greyhound is a text book example of the kind of idiot that companies and the government have to put stupid fucking labels that tell you coffee can burn you or that a sleep aid can cause drowsiness. Its sad when people are so stupid they have to be protected from themselves.

lol I didnt feel sorry for him because myself and like a dozen other people told him to lift with lighter weight. But of course he didnt. Then after he did get the operation for his 3 hernias he was bragging about having work off for 2 weeks and told me he was going to be skateboarding during that time.... Fucking Clowns Shoes!!!!

Hes not a moron in the gym he is a moron in life! Wow!!
WOW is right and I thought I saw stupid people in the gym thta I basically laugh inside at. I'm the same way, I will give you all the time in the world as long as the person is gonna be dedicated. Thats my first question than I will help all they want, if not I agree. I direct them to BB.com instead!
Gym was pretty packed for a friday. The squat racks/power rack area was full from people doing bullshit. I had a rack though and took it for a whole hour doing fronts/back squats. Some guy kept coming into the room to check if a rack was free. He entered about three times and each time everything was still full. I was going to ask if he wanted to work in since I was going to be there for a while. I ended up not asking though.
A few minutes later one rack opens up. He gets in, takes off the 25's from the previous person doing curls then adds on some 10's and starts doing curls. Then he puts on another 10 and does a standing bent over row. Not even 45 degrees.
Not a big deal really. Except our gym has a freaken huge area to do curls. Theres like four preacher curl stations with a shitload of bars/dumbells. I think people just don't like bending over to pickup the bar since they have no core strength.

Saw a guy curling in the squat rack today. Pretty normal right?
Well he was curling in the squat rack with a preset weight. He brought over one of those small bars that had a preset weight on them already and started curling in the squat rack. He didn't even touch the olympic bar on the squat rack, just stood in there curling with his preset bar. I thought he was doing some kind of circuit curling or something so I kept watch on him, but he just kept using that preset bar to do curls. After about five minutes he took the preset bar away and I never saw him again.
Some chick farted today. I was doing the seated aerobic row machine for warming up. I got up and walked past her and smelled her nasty fart. It was her. There was nobody else there and it sure as hell wasn't me.
Saw some guy squatting way more than he should. He had on 185 on his back with a pillow on the bar to cushion his neck. His lower back was so curved it was painful to watch.
I really wish every gym had atleast one guy there that is a personal trainer/safety manager. Someone who knows what they're doing and would be willing to stop and coach someone on their form for a few minutes without trying to sell personal training sessions. My old gym had a bunch of person trainers that would do that, but they would follow it up with some aggressive personal training sales tactics. Plus I don't think they knew what they were doing because only thing I saw them doing were curls and bench.
