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

I was watching 2 guys in their 40's doing bench press yesterday between my sets. White knee socks with stripes around the top, green little shorts, and a white t-shirt with brown under arm stains, and a sweat band. The guy getting ready to lift can barely do 25 pound DB chest press because I see him. He gets this stupid cheesy expression on his face when I do 45's. Well here he has his spotter and he's getting ready for take-off one huge grunt and the spotter pretty much carries the weight for him up "ONE" time and then he sets it back down and the guy on the bench said,"Man I'm getting a lot stronger I never was able to do that before!" He's looking at me like, "Yeah I'm the man, you want some of this don't you!" What an Idiot....
Ohh and the weight was only 185 .....

LMFAO ... that's friggin disgusting. Only thing I can give ya Bally's related is the reason why I quit ... which involved an abductor adductor leg machine, a bunch of mirrors and men leering with their mouth open at my crotch. I haven't used one since but I'm past the cardio & light weight only stage for fear I get 'big'Jim Ouini said:
I am probably the one that people go home and talk about.
Doing all out sprints on the treadmill at max mph ... sure I sound like a frickin elephant but I get in my intervals.
The one doing reverse Plyo Kickback sprints up stairs on the track as fast as I can ... I'm sure they're waiting for me to smack into the wall, but I don't.
The one who people wanna strangle b/c I get to the gym at 5 am wide awake with a huge smile because I am happy to be there. Not that it's much, but I have yet to see another female throw up 50 lb DBs for chest 6 reps unassisted.
Other than bad form, misconceptions about how to train, the occasional hammer pants and guy who REALLY need to train his legs, there really isn't anything worthy to post about ... yet. I cant help but think others label me as the 'moron' ... but I'll take it

I hear ya - I've been doing good mornings lately and the looks I get are great. I'm pretty sure that I'll have a good 'MATG(tot)' story soon - lots of guys who don't speak English work out here and have some pretty odd workouts, but have yet to do something truly moronic. It's just a matter of time....*Bunny* said:Other than bad form, misconceptions about how to train, the occasional hammer pants and guy who REALLY need to train his legs, there really isn't anything worthy to post about ... yet.

I have this on my log and Bunny 
suggested I post it on here sooooooo here ya go.......
I have a funny to tell ya'll. Last night at the gym there was this guy and I don't normally even post about people I see but this guy OMG I just have to. Ok he was a small guy but that's not what I'm talking about we all start somewhere. It was how he was dressed. He has on a baseball cap on backwards with a shortsleeved sweatshirt cut off at the waste making it a belly shirt and a pair of cut off jeans shorts with a pair of combat boots and toob socks. He was doing some bicep work and would stop to admire himself in the mirror rubbing his biceps and then looking around to see if someone was looking at him. It was some sight I tell ya!

This is nothing out of the ordinary, but this past Monday, otherwise known as 'international bench press day' there was a skinny kid, about my height, but maybe 100lbs less than me, and he was benchin'. He did 135 for 8 sloppy reps, then I saw him get burried with 225 and have his spotter save him, so what does he do? ...... he puts 315 on, gets burried and has his spotter pull it off of him, what does he do next????..............he goes to 405, but his spotter talked him out of it, and if he didn't I probably would have because there is only so much I can take.

What is it about some people that try to do heavier than they honestly know their bodies can handle. It's crazy! I mean do they think they can just walk into a gym and do oodles of weight right off he bat.

I used to train in a Bally full of fruity wack jobs (the guy who used to workout in a leather kilt with no underwear, the obviously pre-op transvestive cornering me by the smith and asking for workout advice) but sadly now the most excitement is from watching fratboys try to curl too much
there is one grossly fat, overcompensating dad who puts his inbred looking son through some great half-rep tag-team workouts... come on boy, you can do it, strong, strong! I very much enjoyed the one and only time I asked to work in on the squat rack with them and poppa Cankles challenged me to lift the immensely heavy weight on the pins.. could I REALLY do 405? He could do it, I'd just seen him go down about 6 inches, topple forward slightly, turn purple and 'back' the weight up for a great max effort.
well, I said I don't know - I've never tried to lift so much weight.. maybe he could give me some pointers on how to do the exercise? He visibly puffed up and started bragging in front of his son, so it was very satisfying to see him shut his enormous mouth once I started repping out full, paused front squats. I think I caught him muttering something about 'steroids' to his son as they walked away from the rack
