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

[Phaded]

i love it when faggots use the squat rack as a towel rack when they are doing their hammer curls with fucken dumbells inside the rack..

saw a 5'3 jackass wearing his sunglasses while working out.
i almost laughed in his face

That would be me.
Seriously, I get TMJ headaches, stress headaches & stuff. When I have a headache I work through it (unless it's sinus). I just wear sunglasses because of light sensitivity, & I lower the intensity a bit.

I have seen about 4 people squat at the gym I've been going to for the past month. Not ONE has done even a parallel rep, let alone ATF. One Abercrombie loaded up 255 and did this hip dive thing for 3 sets and got cocky with me when I asked to work in. One goon is working his D-bol cycle and trying to impress his girlfriend with 365lb, 1/8 rep squats. Seriously, they aren't even quarter squats. I want to smash his knee caps in with a plate while he's doing whatever it is you'd call that.

Funny you should mention that. There's a guy I mentioned a couple weeks ago who was squatting with the fake traps and going down less than a 1/4 squat, barely bending his knees.

Yesterday I see him benching with 275 and range of motion is just like his squat, he unracks the bar and his elbows flare out in a little blip and straight again.

Also, why do these guys always have a posse cheering 'em on, high fivin' and jumping around like loons as he racks the bar.

i did something funny the other day. i was doing decline dumbell bench press with the 95s and did a set of 10 with good form, but when i went to do a swing situp to get up, my one leg slid out of the feet hooks and eventually the other did and i slid down the bench sideways pinned under the dumbells with my legs straight up in the air and the one dumbell rolled over my face and the other went rolling like 20 feet away. i got up and looked around embarassed but started laughing and this one guy was at the preacher curl thing with his head down like tryin not to laugh. fuck im so glad there werent many people there.

You can be sure the story'll get around tho.

 

[HiDnGoD]

Unreal. So while he went to bother some poor girl, I stripped the shit off.

Or add weight.

There was a posse of Abercrombies playing a game of bball in the gym with an imaginary ball last night.. I shit you not, it was the most retarded looking thing I've seen since golf-swing man practicing with his imaginary golf club. Oh, and they did a 90 minute ab workout too, when they weren't jumping around like tools... lots of Mens Health twisting and leg throwing with the obligatory woodchops to bring out those Brad Pitt obliques

some serious shirt pulling in front of the crossover station was going on, and 3 soft, completely muscle-less bellies were in full show for the laydies in the house.

what a day. One guy around 55kg in the leg press, occupying it for 45 min reading a Men's Health. Occasionally he did some reps, with the incredible weight of 80 kg on the press, but without stopping to read. If i would use the leg press ever that would really piss me off. And the other guy, around the same weight class, was doing like 10 sets of concentration curls with the EMPTY ez-bar (less than 10kg). ??!! Must a hell of a concentration going on there.

On the other hand, there was a pretty big guy I never saw before doing DEADLIFTS with a FULL DELOAD at every rep. This is absolutely unheard of and a never-seen-before. Well, ok, I do them too. But I am the strange guy there. And, contrary to me, this guy had a pretty decent weight on the bar, around 200 kg (440 lbs). That really made my day. I hope that guy stays, for a change.

Full deload? Isn't that counter productive? Isn't it better to keep the tension on through the whole set?

so dudes. what do you think of teenage powerlifters who wear bench shirts and load up 500 lbs. on the bench and do a single with their best buddy pulling like mad with the "it's all you" spot? i guess i'm just "old school" when it comes to lifting weights. i like to do it by myself.
