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

[hoaxey]

I had always read stories like these before and got a could laugh out of them but had never actually seen anything really funny since my old gym was for more hard-core lifters (I was by far the weakest of anyone there which was great for learning quickly). My new gym - the Y - hasn't been too bad until the college kids started getting out for vacation a couple of weeks before Christmas (no personal offense to any college kids reading this right now)...

The best one was this college kid who was pretty big and was hitting bech several Mondays back. He looked like he could move some weight and was pretty intense but the funny thing was that he was not shy about checking himself out in the mirror before, during and after his lifts - he'd flex in front of the mirror before he'd get down, poke his head up when he had the weight at the top of the lift and then get back in front of the mirror directly after to see what "direct effects" his last set just had. To top it off, after he was done with his bench set he took one final look in the mirror and then proceeded to SHADOW BOX for a good 10 seconds followed by more flexing. And for a final demonstration of his raw power, he performed 2 karate kicks which were actually impressive because he appeared to have good form and managed not to kick anything or anyone over because it's so friggin tight in the weight area.

One of the truly funny things I'd seen that week.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL x'D

I hate people like that. Seen this chinese guy other day, he was really skinny, had tracksuit bottoms on that were really tight round his ass (what women usually wear) and this proper tight t shirt. He looked f*kin disguisting, and a portable dvd player in his hand, watching a film at the gym!!! (LIKE WTF! DO U COME HERE TO WORK OUT OR WATCH A FILM?!) Then he sat on the chest machine, for about 10 minutes, watching a film (I managed to complete 2 different exercises in that time, before he started his first set!) Then when he actualy started doing something, he racked up the weight on almost heaviest weight, did 4 sets (i counted) his form was so POOR. its like he hardly worked his chest at all! then after completing his reps guess what he did? Went back to watching a film for 15 minutes!!! i managed to complete my workout in that time (shoulders that day) before he managed to do 4 sets for chest machine! I hate people like that. Wtf is the point to waste at the gym!?

You know how i know you're gay?

was doing some arm wrestling at school today and one kid who had bigger arms than everyone else (except me) was showin his biceps off and some other guy goes "what do you do for arms?" and the other dude says "nothing idk why they are so big" and so the first guy says back "do you just tense them alot? Thats what I used to do to get my arms bigger..."

lol wtf

only real funny thing ive seen in my gym that i havnt done are the 500000 lb bench dudes with calfs the size of a pencil.

and for me, i was doin 135 on bench and got stuck on my 5th rep(this was near the beginning of discoverin weightlifting) so i was resting the weight on my chest wonderin what to do, guy passes and i ask for help, he pulls the weight up with one arm and goes about his business. I was quite ashamed, but eh, we cant all bench 225 the first time we workout.

Well today I walk in to see 4 guys my age with their shirts off on some green stretching pads pumping out a p-90x workout that was playing on a portable dvd player. They were all grunting and moaning about how fucking hard their shit was. It was an abs workout jesus. They were like right next to each other with their shirts off all sweaty grunting away, must have all caught the gheys

Ahh so naive. But in all honesty can you really blame them. I mean, this seems stupid to us because have all done a good amount of research of lifting and stuff to realize that is complete horesht. But the average man knows jack about lifting, I could totally see why one would think being extremely veiny can give off the impression that roids are being used. Yeah its naive, but a decent amount of the "morons" brought up on this thread do moronic things simply because they honestly believe that what they are doing is right because no one has told them otherwise.

Enough of this though, this thread is awesome keep 'em coming.. I'm such a buzzkill.

haha i somewhat agree with mike. However, lot of guys mentioned in here are douches I think i've mentioned this in my log before, but not sure about here so i will tell this story.


Every time i do cable pullthroughs, i get at least a few weird looks because of how perverted the exercise looks. One day, i was doing pullthroughs while the swim team was working out going about their shit. After one of my sets (this was after heavy deads so i was wiped), this kid stared at me, looked at his girlfriend, and started copying me, but without any weights. Then, he laughed his ass off and gave me some nasty look. On my way back from getting a drink, I mustered up enough energy to go over to him and say, "Hey dude. That exercise really helps on the thrust. You should ask your mom". Dude was speechless and ever since that moment, he has litteraly avoided going near me @ the gym.
