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

[Andalite]

lol i love seeing all these tools at the gym. I saw 2 guys in the squat rack one was doing bb curls and the other was doing pullups they would switch off and high five each other after each set. This other guy was talking to his friend and he said "yeah man im pretty muscular I weighed in at 155 this morning". He also said "I don't like to do bench presses because that lift is really difficult." I cracked a smile both times.

hahhaha...thats funny.....

here we are struggling to cross 200 and there we have ppl thinking they are kings @ 155...!!! hahahhahaa

Dude no way long arm guys can bench more. They have to push the weight much further. I usually see short guys benching more than taller guys.

i thought he was being sarcastic or something like that.

Bump for the new thread "idiots at the gym", this one has a much longer history.

Wed. I was doing front squats next to three guys who were doing drop sets of BB curls. They collectively weighed about 460. Between grunts they were talking about how creatine was getting them huge.

We had a full compliment of curlers at my place today. There was a guy doing barbell curls, another doing dumbbell curls, two doing standing cable curls and another lying on the floor doing cable curls.

I'd just finished my squats and had sweat pouring off me and I turned around to see all those clowns curling at the same time. Surreal.

Classic tiny fuck home from school for Xmas asked me "Excuse me sir, but how did you get so big?"
The only other juicer I have seen in my gym was benching nearby and started laughing so hard he couldn't get the weight off his chest......little man runs over and tries to help but can't even snatch the weight up. Of course this makes broly on the bench laugh even harder so he really can't lift it! Finally he tells the guy "Just back up for a minute" takes a few deep breaths and presses 315 up from a standstill.....of course our hero says "Dude, how do you get that strong?"!
Classic gym moment and it enabled me to finally introduce myself to the other juicer in my gym.

Why is he a moron? He was polite, and courteous and obviously had no idea how to train or eat properly, but was willing to learn. I don't think he counts...

He actually was not so bad and the other dude was actually talking to him about diet when I left....it was just very funny and you had to be there and see him run over with this panicked look and try to snatch 315 off of this guys chest.

Most of the knuckleheads in this thread exist in my gym, in fact for a lot of the 50 pages I felt like I was reading a primer on the idiots I run into on a normal basis. However, last night takes the cake. Preface: Gym is a fancy schmancy hospital owned facility, all cardio machines have dvd and flatscreen tv's on them, so you should have some idea about what kind of place I'm dealing with, the weight area is good though, several unusued Power Racks, etc. Well let's just call this new guy, the excercise inventor. I'd never seen him in there before but he really seemed to wander around like he knew what he was doing, as he started his tricep press downs he spreads his legs WAY past shoulder width, almost to a split position then slowly moves down to the floor till he's doing the splits and begins the cable tricep press downs. I chuckled to myself and moved on, only to catch him out of the corner of my eye later doing the splits again on the floor, this time doing curls. It got to be too much I had to know the names of these new and wonderful excercises so I politely ask him what those are called, in the cockiest reply he gives me the sheesh, those are split leg tricep press downs and split leg concentration curls, don't you know anything about training? I shook my head and walked away, apparently I haven't learned anywhere near enough yet.
