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

[ExtraMile]

1. I walk over to the squat rack to do some squats.... Theres a guy lieing underneath the bar doing sit ups/crunches, then gets one of those big bouncy balls (dont know what their called) and starts doing some crazy shit on that, so i left him to it and went on to bench instead, he must have been doing this for about 40 mins, so i didnt even get my squats in today

dude just say to him would you mind moving over so I can do squats in this squat rack, theres enough floor space elsewere. Why should his moronic bullshit be the reason for you to fuck up your workout????????????????????

heh... some guy started doing crunches practicly right under my weights when i did rack pulls the other day... if one of the safety catches were to pop off (yes i have seen this happen once)... he would have a few hundred pounds of iron on top of him...

Last night doing squats at the power rack. Two squat racks next to me were empty. I had my gym bag next to the rack and 235lbs on the bar. By the looks of things to me, the bar/rack is being occupied by someone. now remember, two squat racks were not being used. I come back from getting a drink of water to this asshat unracking my weights. I mean, this guy didn't even wait to see if someone was coming back. He just emediately started unloading the bar, WITH two squat racks open, mind you. WTF is wrong with people? This is part of the reason I don't smile at the gym.

a guy at the gym today, doesnt work as a PT but fancies himself as one, always takin teenage kids around showing them shitty things to do and teaching them good form. Iv seen him with a kid about 16 doing sumo style smith squats and stuff like that.

Today he was on the leverage t-bar in jeans showing a kid some exercise, he held onto the handles and did pretty much a squat backwards, but it was a leverage t-bar and he ended up in the position with his glutes all the way back as if sitting in a chair, leant slightly forward and arms out stretched, kinda like the parrallel in a smith squat but with his arms out stretches grasping the handles.

i just looked at him like wtf
