Okay I try not to be judgemental cause Im not the biggest guy, so obv these tools are doing something right that Im not, and because the I was green once so the younger guys gotta learn somehow, but sometimes the fail is just too much not to make a comment inside your noggin.
This dude I see at the gym constantly makes these noises whilst doing exercises like hes putting 110% into everything he does. These are the noises youd expect from Mariusz Pudz whilst towing a truck down the road, and this guy is doing them whilst performing some of the wierdest 'exotic' movements Ive ever seen in person. At my gym we have quite a few MMA players and Rugby players, so I see sport specific training alot, but based around advanced power programs. The closest thing Ive seen this guy do to a traditional exercise was a front squat, which I see him do once every 3-4 months. The real icing on the cake is the other day though, he was skipping thinking hes a badass cause boxers skip (you could just see look on his face), even though he was skipping like a 12 year old girl, basically knee upping, not like Manny P who bounces on the balls of his feet for patterns. Then this guy walks over to chin up bar, screams for some reason, then jumps into the chin up, drops to his feet, then jumps again another 7 times. After finishing he walks over to smith machine and and does a cross between a bent over row and a clean and press for 1 rep, turns and walks away screaming, then goes back and does it again. There wasnt much weight on so I didnt really see the point in doing the exercise at that wait at all, maybe he just wanted to tone (lmao).
Then as he finishes the gymowner walks pastand I hear him say "Super sets really fuck me up you know"
I was at a bench doing skull crushers on other side of gym, but I heard that as did most of gym, who tried not to laugh.

i felt like a moron last week...
i have been really getting into clean and jerks the last couple months, and ive been really working on my form... catching it low in that front squat position... well, i was doing singles with 175 for a week (not maxes, but single reps focusing on speed and form), and decided to go for a PR because i felt comfortable with my form and catching it real low... 200 attempt (195 previous PR)... blasted up with it.... caught it deep... oh shit... too far back im leaning... lost it... FUCK... fell back with it... didnt get hurt, just embarassed as fuck...

Haha
I guess I should post my fails too since Im judging others.
Last week I was leg raises whilst holding a medicine ball between my ankles and mid set I felt that infamous feeling, slowly moving down through my bowled, into my trunk and out into the gym. No I didnt shit myself, but the sound it made I might aswell had have done. One guy on the rowing machine looks over laughing asking me if Ive switched protein powders, I just laughed and continued my set like a real badass, hahahaha.
Not really I fail, but a moment of humility. Most fails are always the same with me though, I always go for that one more rep, fail and the weight slowly descends. I get up, look around embarresed to make sure no one saw and then giggle a bit. Ive since learned the best method is to no look up but to put it back on the racks and move to the next workout like you meant to do that. Haha
*im well in stitches at the moment*

today there was a guy who wanted my shit... he looked indian, and he was on the leg press machine doing 1 leg presses
i was squatting (i am 17, not too big) and not doing too much weight, but when he saw 160 on the bar and me going down past parallel, i saw his eyes pop out of the corner of my eye while breathing between reps... Then, later on when i was done with the rack, he went in and squatted 95 for like 10 reps not even going to parallel. Gave me a look while i was stretching my calves during calf raises like "shit dude, squats really ware us out)-- then when i was doing standing calves, he came and did seated calves, and just stared at me again. When i did chins, he stopped doing seated calves and just watched me doing my chins. I wanted to ask him if he was gay or something or if something i did gave him the wrong message.. but i just got the fuck outa there when i was done. Also, during my OHPs this fucker came under me to get weights off the rack when he could have gone to the other spot or waited when i was done- only my warmup set but fuck i wanted to throw the barbell at his head so badly

i was a moron last time, there was a bar loaded from shrugs on the squat rack and i was deloading it to i could put the bar up on the rack instead of the safety bars, and wasnt thinking straight and unloaded all of one side first so the bar flipped over and was pointing straight upwards with the stack of weights on the floor. but the collar was still on the bar so I couldnt pull the bar out of the stack of weights lol

omg there are so many fucking morons at my gym
today, i was doing seated calves and there were these 3 kids doing incline bench next to me. They just finished like 20 sets on flat BB Bench (there for my first 4 exercises).. One guy who i have seen there only a few times (real strong) was doing hang cleans. He did about 10 in 5-6 seconds outrageously fast with 135 pounds. Tossed the shit around like a feather, but had good form. The 3 kids stopped incline benching, and went up to the guy and asked if he was doing jumping jacks with the barbell. I laughed so hard during my first set of calves i thought i was going to throw up. One kid was also trying to explain to the other that you should never do incline BB without flat BB, and never do flat DB without incline DB because your pecs will be "abnormally unproportional"- idk how he pulled those 2 words out of his ass, but fuck i was almost on the ground laughing. I like to tune myself out with my ipod, and i did up until that point until i saw how funny these kids were.

The thing I hate most is the goofy kid who stares at you for no reason and it makes you uncomfortable. There's this kid, prob maybe 18 or 19. He's in there maybe 3 or 4 a week. When I workout or someone who knows what they are doing works out he watches them. Just stares, eyes lingering for days. It doesn't bother me until he tries to copy what that person is doing and its sorta like really? Is that what you just saw. I don't even know why I'm talking about this kid. I saw him this morn while I'm doin legs. I'm doing 240 with one leg on the seated leg press while the kid has 2 legs with 25 pounds and his legs are completey straight. No range of motion. I also hate the ppl who put themselves in danger. Aka lifting weight u know u shouldn't be touching. Last one is the faces ppl make when lifting. This one guy had this crazy bitter beer face. I hella walkd off bc I was laughing hella hard.
