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

[mm107]

This is kind of funny, and I am the moron here, actually, I was pwned by an 11 year old girl.

This was about 4 years ago, and I was doing pullups with a palms away from me grip. It was a Sat. and a guy who was a gym regular brought his daughter, who was a gymnast, to the gym with him on Saturdays. She was about 10 or 11, and looked all of 8. Anyway, I was doing pullups and my oversized ass was gasping for air between sets and the guy asked if his daughter could work in with me, so I said sure and brought over a utility bench so she could stand on it to reach the bar.

So, the girl starts stretching and contorting her body and whatnot, and the dad said, you can go ahead and do your set if you want.

What happened next, I will remember forever, lol. I did 9 pullups and the girl asked how many I did, so I said 9. Then she said oh, did you ever use that thing over there (she pointed to the gay assisted chinup machine where you rest your knees on a counter balance). So, I said "no, sweetie, these are the real deal". So, her dad brought over the bench and she climbed up on it and grabbed a hold of the bar, palms away just like I was doing, and proceeded to do 20 perfect pullups, lol. So, then she said to me in all seriousness, "Maybe you could have done 10 if you used that....as she pointed to the gay assisted chin machine".

Well, I was laughing my ass off and so was her dad, but she was 100% serious and couldn't tell what we were laughing at.

LMAO that is cute of her.

But.

lol, not shit, kids are smart asses, but I had to laugh though

I'm just messing around. But you probably should have chained a 45 lb plate to her to humble her a bit.

Fuck that, five 45-pound plates would have made it fair, lol

Little Friggin' gymnists!...thats funny as hell!! I bet you think about that everytime you chin.

This seems to happen every now and then....

Ever been using a bench or rack or whatever, and have someone ask you if you're using a piece of equipment that's in the vicinity of what you're using, as though there's a 10 foot perimeter around you in which you have dominion? I've had people ask me right as I'm about to start a set whether they could use something that was next to me. For example:

Moron - "Are you using this incline bench?"

Me - "No, I'm using the incline bench THAT I'M SITTING ON!"

Equally, though, I've spent a few minutes collecting my smaller plates ready for the poundages (kiloages?) I'm expecting to work through and then had someone tip-toe over and take one. I remember asking one guy whether he'd be wanting any of the other plates I'd just spent time rounding up.

 

[xblitz44x]

Yeah guinness, I ask people that are in the vicinity as well. Even though they aren't sitting on it, they might be supersetting or something stupid. However, I choose a better time to do it than when they are getting ready to start a set.

 

[Ilovetolift]

Theres nothing more annoying than a noob trying to use 3 different things at once. Most of the time I just but right in and take over....I mean, bench, cables...tricep pushdows...curls...all at once, and than thinks they can go right back to the bench and use it? HAHA WRONG BUDDY! YOUR DOING BICEPS!

 

[Tweakle]

something else I dislike, although it rarely happens... times when I've piled up 45's on each side of the bench ready to use them for my sets just to have a puffed up little abercrombie strut over, take one and put it on his curl bar

speaking of which I had someone ask me if I could 'spot' him on the preacher curl yesterday..

LOL, I had somebody once ask for a spot on barbell rows, and somebody once asked for a spot on the deadlift, but hey, at least he was deadlifting, right. Seriously, I didn't know what the fuck to do in either situation. Instead of saying how ridiculous it was and wasting my own workout time, I just stood towards the side of the guys and gave a few encouraging words.
