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

[Ilovetolift]

Funniest shit happend today. It was back day so I was doing deadlift, it's my final set, some people were like lol wtf thats a lot of weight (lots of noobs). Anyways it was 325 and I got 6 reps out of it. I just finish and this little brown dude says " you were bending your back" im like what?!?! ok... you wanna try it? hes like no no...walks away, I was kinda pissed this little bastard tried to tell me how to deadlift when I knew he didnt ever do one in his life. So I marched over to his "group" looked him straight int he eye and asked " Can you please come show me how to do a PROPER deadlift"? he replys " No, I dont do deadlift anymore", thats what I though, you chubby bastard. Seriously wanted to punch his ass.

yea... similar situation for me...
im doing deads... rest pause sets with 365... i weigh 148.. so thats a bit of weight for me... and i wasnt even dropping the weight... but it makes considerable noise when it goes down... well someone complained and a PT asked me to lower it slowly... im like WTF WTF... its not proper to lower a weight that heavy for you that slow... we exchanged words... but i was already done with my workout...
a few people have been asses about the noise i make since then... but no run in with the wanna be PT yet...

speaking of PT's...

well, this thread was a laugh fest for me. I decided I would add a story from a few months back. I recently changed gyms because of distance and gas and the dues were better at my new gym. The final nail so to speak from my last gym were these guys that always went around telling people how to lift. They would even tap people on the shoulders who had headphones on and start telling them how to do it safer. Luckily, since I try and really concentrate on form and do it right as opposed to just heavy, I had yet to encounter their "advice". Well, I was doing some box squats, nothing super heavy, just 225. Going down slow and up fast, watching my form when I see one of them headed my way. I mean literally going out of his way to come ad advise me. Well, I had a lot of time to think of what my response would be seeing their antics over the past few months and I readied my reply. He stood there watching me and when Iwas done he tapped me on the shoulder. I quickly took out my earphone and yelled "HEY MAN DON'T TOUCH ME THERE!!!!!" and I just stared at him. EVERYONE looked over at him and man he was beet red and made a quick retreat. Needless to say they left me alone for the last few weeks I was there.

Today I've witnessed a rather curious event that I'd like to call: "The Curl Tag Team"
Two guys facing each other, one does two reps of barbell cuts, hands the bar to the other guy and he does the same. The bar goes back and forth a number of times.
On their way out of the gym they're speaking very loud. Without the need of eavesdropping I hear this: "So I punched him in the balls and he was like, dude that hurts."

Brilliant...

Talking about morons at the gym... I was going back over some old threads and found this one that still makes me cry laughing from some of the bros responses. Back when I was just starting out...
