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

[treilin]

Well yesterday I was at the gym and 3 high school boys (1 plays football) decided to do the obvious bench press. I'm standing there and the kid (football one) says,"O.k. guys I'm going to get one rep!" Has one guy on each end of the bar has about 185 on there.... All 3 of them get the 1 rep up and he sits it back down and says,"Wow maybe next week I'll be able to do 2!"
So I was talking with my friend who has a big mouth and he looks at the kid and says," Chest press is really going to help you get down the field faster.. great exercise choice to choose in your off season!" The kid says,"I'm working on my summer pecs!" My friend says,"Yeah because that will get you a scholarship!" The kid said,"No, but it will give me a better chance of getting laid!"

I'm busting up laughing at this whole male ego thing going on...

My friend says,"Let me guess bicep curls are next?" The kid looked all shocked,"How did you know?"

I'm dying laughing now....

My friend,"I was in your shoes once before... I just wish I would have listened to the guy telling me exactly what I'm telling you because I would have done a lot better at football!"

Not a moron so much as a gym stereotype I LOATH, the fat guy who thinks he's jacked. Not chunky, not bulky like an offseason bber, or ever a big powerlifter.. I mean this guy is one soggy sack of lipids who looks like a baby seal in a beater, but is under the impression his 20" lunch lady arms are on par with Ronnies

Fat, pink, perspiring heavily and stinking of pork rinds he waddles round the gym with his hairy belly pooching over his pants, arms spread to his sides with the worst case of ILS I have ever seen. He walks into people if they don't dare to move out of his way (he's a 'big guy' and has been told so all his life), grunts and screams and hollas as he does his shitty cheat curls with the 45's, then leaves greasy slime all over everything he touches as a parting gift.

He loaded the hammer chest with a 45 & a 25 a side, looked me square in the eye as if to let me know what was up and popped out a brutal set of half reps, followed by some flexing and more groaning. I hate that guy

Anyways the just of the just is- some idiot thought he had to use vasoline on his hands before every set of every exercise- there was vasoline on at least 10 machines. They cought the guy, he was wearing spandex and looked like some 80's version of prince. Needless so say he didnt walk out of the gym and I washed my hands with bleach.

Anyways that was the biggest moron I have ever seen.

I think we hae winner, what a complete ass? There must be something wrong with that guy, no one is that ignorant, are they?

I had a strange sight at the gym today. Both squat racks were occupied and simultanously guys were calmly squatting and going to parallel on most of the reps. Obviously, making an effort but with calm faces.

Right behind them there was a guy with a look of absolute agony on his face as he was hitting his fourth or fifth rep of one-arm curls on the cross-over machine with one or two of the little plate thingies. What is it about biceps that blesses people with agony-face?


BTW any Plats who haven't voted yet, I'd really appreciate your vote. Sorry for being so shameless.

the people who put on "coco butter lotion" before they go to the gym and get everything greasy. i was reminded of my experiences from the vaseline post.

another pet peve is the people who bring their 4 year old kid to the gym and dont supervise them..5 year old kid walks almost under my bar when i was doing cleans..I guess thats what i get for working out at a ymca

I wear a little, 'cause I stink pretty bad from work, but I don't bathe in it.
There was a guy who cleaned out the locker room a coupla months back. He liberally sprayed on AXE body spray. That shit is strong & gets everywhere.

I saw this guy the other day, fixing his hair in the bathroom before he headed out to start lifting...I almost fell out laughing...

I do my cardio in the apartment building gym which would be boring as hell if it weren't for the big mirrored wall that lets me see what the other tennants are doing behind me

yesterday a guy in his mid 30's dressed in chinos and a button up shirt strolls in with an older lady in tow (mom maybe?) - without ever checking the weights he jumps on the pec dec of the universal and tries to close it. Didn't happen. Instead of lowering the weight he starts growling, goes bright red in the face and tries not one but three more times to move the stack while I stare at him in awe.

then he tells mom the machine is broken and they both leave, depriving me of potential entertainment
