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

[Chill Trojan]

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.

triple hernia not nice i feel sorry 4 the guy
cant u help him cobra workmate and all? at least point in right direction i.e dont KILL URSELF tryin 2 impress

Saw a two guys talking about their chest days and one goes "whats the pec minor?" the other guy pointed to the lower part of his pecs and says "theres your pec minor, thats why dips are crap for chest because they only build the minor part of the muscle you wana concentrate on pec MAJOR to get a serious chest!"

lolol

Saw a guy today doing dumbell curls in the squat rack. Not sure why he brought over some 25's from across the room just to use inside the rack. After doing a few he throws them onto the floor. Made a thud. He then gets onto the leg press machine and does some bullshit 1/4 leg press. Then gets back into the squat rack and does his dumbell curls. He then leaves with everything still inside the squat rack. Saw him walk out of the gym wearing a "Westcoast Chopper" T-Shirt. It all made sense then.

Then there was this other dude running around the weight area with his shirt off. He had a 45 pound plate in both hands while prancing up and down the hallway. I think he was doing some sort of circuit training shit. Wouldn't have been so bad if he would have kept his shirt on.

The gym where I work out at(24hr Fitness), they have some mats and exercise balls located right by the squat racks. You get these asshats that stretch and do ab work in between the racks, Pisses me off. You have to watch where you walk while adding weight so you don't trip over these idiots. Some are so close to the rack that the weights are being lifted right over their body.

next time you lift off the weight for your max set squats, look down at the ab noob guy and say to yourself out load "right now focus, try not to drop the bar off your back this time..."

lolol

i have two characters to share that i ran into this past week.

1st are these dudes that came in all bro'd out trying to psyche each other up. i have no problem with that but when they started their bb curls, the amount of body swing they had going on was fuckin ridiculous. they were swinging so hard it was almost like the weight was standing still in the air while they swung their bodies under it. they were also cranking out reps like it was a foot race.. wtf do they think theyre accomplishing? i got the feeling they were really trying to show off by being loud and obnoxious.

2nd character is one that im sure a lot of you have seen before. its the dude that is wearing ripped jeans, work boots and a trucker hat. i mean, it looks like he came straight from the garage working on his camaro. i just dont get it man, really. you dont have to get all kitted out but at least change out of your street/work clothes.. looking like you cant be bothered does not make you look "cool."

Yea it's the same at my gym. The setup is retarded. The treat the squat rack area as a place to dump all the misc type machines/yoga mats. It's more of a storage room.

Some guy was doing some kind of crunches on the ground right next to me while i was deadlifting. I made it a point to drop the bar after my set. Made a loud thud noise right next to his head. He left, never came back.

I have a new one from a new gym I'm attending now. It's some kind of guido who works out with sunglasses, jeans and mafioso Andy Garcia like hairstyle, running the db rack for curls and the most unusual "exercise" i've ever seen in my life some kinda of swinging one arm curl straight into a swinging tris kickback, I honestly felt like slapping the bitch ass punk.

Saw a guy I haven't seen for like two months. Jesus christ he's small now. He used to have a big bulked upper body (no legs), now he's just average upperbody and still no legs. I think he's definitely doing steroids or something. i don't know exactly how the drug works, but I bet he's not using it for the time being and shrunk. It's the only explanation...
