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

Funny stories. I usually don't notice other people at the gym unless they're in front of me or they're part of the "squat police." So, I don't have many of my own.
The squat police is a group of individuals who constantly tell me not go go lower then 90 WHILE I'm in the middle of a set. I love those people.
The only thing that I have other then that is in my sig.

3 guys last night taking turns doing tricep pushdowns each with their own different bar. They insisted on switching off in between every set too. None of them had big arms either.
And those GNC morons are on another level. I went in there a while ago to get some vitamins and the salesman must have sold this poor guy $300 worth or Pro Performance supplements. 3 or 4 bags full of stuff. And he left the store smiling with this big "I just won the lottery" look on his face. I bet he doesn't gain a pound.

80's incline! so what i just starteddjeclipse said:
I did not know to post this here or in the why comercial gyms SUCK ASS!!! thread, but i decided to post it here! Sorry for the long ass story, but i had to post it as soon as i got home and the end almost made me cry!!!!!!
Theres this gym that just opened called Fitness Connection right next to my house and i heard it was good and stuff so i decided to check it out. I walk in the door tell the guy at the table i just want to check it out and not sign up and he says fill out the paper work. So i mummbled shittttt and did it then he said have a seat so i did. I sat there for like thirty minutes and then went up and said did u forget and he said no someone is coming. So finally this guy comes up acting all bad ass and big which he wasent maybe fat at best lol. So he sitts me down asks some questions like what is your goal and i said gaining about 40 lbs which would put me at 190 and he says to do that..........pulls out a calculator looks at some papers and says you will need to eat 390g of protein a day! I said "What the hell" you mean more like 300 right 2g per lb. He says "No" to get these guns you have to eat atleast 2.5. I was just like alright and just gave him a weird look. Then he takes me to see the place. I swear 1/4 of the machines were just for isolating biceps and he sat down in 2 and struggled getting up the weight and then had me do. It was on the second from last pin and it "said" 130(theres no way) i bet i could have done atleast 30 reps. I was like so where is all the free weights and he said "we are getting to that". There was probly about 200 - 250 machines for weights, 75 tredmills, and 50 stair climbers etc. Then he showed me the free weights. Four benches a set of dumbbells 1 lb. - 140 and about 8 curling seats and stuff and 4 random bars. He just ran me through this like "look at this" and then we were gone to see the pool, sauna, basketball court, and showers/chainging room. Then he took me back to the have a seat at his desk and showed me on this little person making computer program where i was at now and where i wanted to be and then he realized there was nothing on there for making "ME" gain weight and shut the program down and pulled out the prices. He walked out and said hold on and down run out on me just yet. Which i intended on doing after reading the prices. He then came back and says look how much i can save you and the best deal he could have given me was 600 up front and 10$ a month. I said is that all it will be a month and he says hold on pulls out some papers and starts calculating stuff and says just a little bit more. I said so how much!?!?!?! then he rights down 25$ and shows me the paper and starts going on about taxes. Then he says so you ready to join and i just said i don't have any money on me i gotta put it on my moms card. He says oh come on you don't have your own bank account and i said no (I lied). He said well if you leave its gona go back up to double what you would have to pay now. I said at best i could come back today which i was actually thinking about doing. Then the guy starts tearing up and i was thinking im hoping he has something in his eyes, but then like he actually starts crying. I was dident know to laugh or feel sorry for him. I just said i know yall get comission but i just wanted to check it out today. The he gets angry and says "so thats all u fucking wanted to do!!!!" and says good day and puts out his hand and i left.

I had a winner last night (the collegeboy who kicked over my dipping belt plate stack came close, but deep breaths.. they can't help being cunts when they travel in packs).
Guy was pretty built so when he asked me for a spot with 315 I assumed he had it in the bag.. little did I know. It went down about a third of the way then he expected me to pull it off him. The charade went on for 4 more reps, with me yelling ITS ALL YOU MAN and almost breaking my wrist
It was fun but I feel dirty for being a participent in the most horrid of gym lifts, the tag team bench
