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

[Ilovetolift]

Yesterday I seen "bicep dude" I give him this name because I only see him ever doing biceps. No joke, this guy was going what looked like 30 reps with eat arm , the WORST technique I have ever seen, he would let one db come down and use the momentum to get the other one up and he then did this weird thing at the top... this guy went from one preacher bench(you can use plates) to the MACHINE , to cable curls, the whole works, anyways, I walk in the gym today...and lone behold, HES DOING IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
I couldnt believe it, and to hear this guy" arg , ahhh, eee " right by me makes me so fucking angry!!! His arms are big though and he seems to be big in general, I don't undertand, all I know is he's a major dick wad.

All of the bigger guys at my gym tend to do what seem like shitty, inaffective workouts as well. I don't get it. I guess with the right amount of food and years of doing bs workouts anyone can grow to a reasonable size.

I no-one let them know that flailing at a heavy bag for 5 minutes with horrible technique IN A HEALTH CLUB doesn't make you iron mike and doesn't mean you can kick my ass (or even my 100lb gf's ass for that matter).

How can you be so sure?

My personal favorite are the D-bags that cut their shirts to leave the littlest amount of fabric left possible. You know, you can see basically half their chest and basically thier whole ribcage and back. Looks kinda retawded.

I also like the guys that put on belts when they're only squatting like 185lbs with horrible 6" form. Then after they get done with their 6'' squats they have this proud look on their face like they just squatted more than arnold. So having squatted more than arnold, they take off their belt and walk away with their chest puffed out while they leave the weight on the bar like a jackass.

I wonder what arnold could squat...

I thought I'd add this to the thread. This happenes to me a minimum of 4 times per year, and it happens either when I train at a different gym as a guest and someone approaches me or when somebody trains at my normal gym as a guest and they approach me.

When I finish a set, the person (always a guy) will aproach me. If the guy is clearly older than me, he compliments me, then proceeds to tell me how much bigger and stronger he was than me until (insert devastating injury here) such as torn rotator cuff, torn ACL/MCL/PCL, blown out knee, herniated discs, gun shot wound, torn pec, etc etc.

If the guy is around my age or younger, he gives a compliment and then proceeds to tell me how much bigger and stronger his brother/cousin/uncle/neighbor/football coach/guy he saw on TV is than me.

The funny thing is, when I know for a fact that there is someone at the gym a lot bigger and stronger than me, or if there is someone who coaches guys a lot bigger and stronger than me, the legit guys don't seem to be compelled with the desire to inform me of this.

I used to get this kind of thing back in the day when I used to go to the local drags. My ride wasn't the fastest on the street but it was faster then just about everything that showed up.

After I'd beat them in a race, and after they brought out the typical excuses "my nitrous bottle is almost empty, I wasn't getting enough pressure", I was spinning through first, I got a bad launch, my v-tech didn't kick in, bla, bla, bla.

I'd always get the asshole that knows his cousin, brother's uncle that knows a guy that has this super fast car and would beat me.

There are tools like that in all walks of life.

there's plenty of people who can't bring themselves to lie about their own achievements so they try for glory by association, they know someone twice your size, who benches 700 for reps and he's only in high school.

But the guys who'll look you in the eye and tell you how before they got hurt, or back when they were 'on cycle' they would be squatting 10 plates a side for reps - they're the absolute best. Usually they weigh about a buck 70 ('I lost some size after I got hurt' - yeah no shit) and know everything there is to know about diet, training and juice. Gotta love gyms

LOL....I don't know what made me think of this, but it is perfect for this thread. There is a local gym with an army of personal trainers and 97% of them look like they have never exercised a day in their lives, and they wear t-shirts with the words "Wrecking Crew" on the back, lol.....I am seriously not making this up.

Sounds like they were good at "Wrecking" the fridge.



I was doing incline flyes with #10's and holding each rep for 4 TUT & I'm not too proud to say that 4x10-4TUT reps were kicking my butt.

There were 2 younger guys on the benches close to me and they were purposely talking loud enough so that I could hear them. (Apparently I'm supposed to care???) They were referring the the fat chic with the sissy weights (that would be me) and someone behind them popped off that when Arnold started lifting he lifted light weights and that everyone starts somewhere. The buffer of the 2 guys walked off and the pudgy one looked a little lonely out there on that limb all by himself.
