3)There is this guy who every thing he does makes me laugh. My favorite is the fact that he apparently has some beef with the 45 lb plates. So when he shrugs, he stacks on about 89572418 25 lb plates on each side and of course he uses the absolute worst form.

I have seen guys doing this with 10lb plates. The funniest thing i have ever seen was this thin guy about 5'10" 150lb. get ready for squats. He for some reason thinks he is a powerlifter. Well yesterday he put 95lb on the squat rack. Started screaming before he even got under the weight, gets under the weight and acts like he is lifting a house. The Gold's Gym I go to is two floors, everyone thaught this guy was for real so everyone looked and started to laugh. then this guy gets on the Adductor machine and does the same starts to yell like it were lifting a house. He totaly made me loose concentration.

Okay, I've seen some fu<ked up things at the gym, but the the best is...

This older guy...I'd say 50 comes to the gym every night goes to the center of the room and just starts doing all sorts of karate moves. I mean starts at one side starts kicking punching and jumping all over. Does this for about an hour then leaves.

I mean I'm sure it's a cardio workout, but for the life of me have not been able to figure out why he drives to a gym to do it. Of course the walk to his car is the typical arms out because of the huge lats and biceps. Of course the guys isn't built at all, so I'm confused by his walk....;o)

Then he makes his way over to the water fountain doing his jumps and kicks. You have to bob and weave in order to get a drink so you don't get kicked or punched by this guy, it's quite amusing

What's even funnier is seeing people that are joining this gym for the first time, they just stare at this karate kid like a deer in headlights..just wondering WTF this guy is doing....

Holy shit, last summer this guy came in and started doing karate moves at my gym. He did not pick up one weight or use one machine, he just did his karate and then left.

One time when I was training at this gym, there was a group of teenage guys who were training arms. He was about average size 5 10 and like 170. One of them started screaming during biceps curls screaming BATMAN, BATMAN!!! Then he went over to the mirror and took off his shirt revealing what else, a BATMAN tshirt underneath. He then started posing in the mirror with the Batman tshirt on screaming that he was BATMAN. I couldnt stop laughing and I had to go back into the locker room to stop laughing.

1) I saw one guy hook up the rope attatchment to the cable machine, grab it, and start swinging it like a baseball bat.

This is a legitimate exercise. It's good for working the obliques. I know a few powerlifters who do it.

Not so much a retarded exercise as much as retarded form.

Saw it again today at the gym. A guy doing bent over rows wasn´t moving the weight directly up and down. Instead he was holding the weight slightly out in front of him at the bottom of the movement creating a line of pull exactly perpendicular to his trunk. That´s great, as long as you´re bent over at a 90 degree angle. He was about 55 degrees.

Can you imagine what this looked like? I hope I´ve communicated this one.

I love it when people take two dumbells on their sides and rock from side to side thinking they're working their obliques.

I love posts like this.
OK my first really isnt a dumb exercise just a stupid kid. This Kid (like 16)comes into the gym loads the bar with like 225 like hes gonna do squats which is still pretty bad since he looks about 140lbs. but the proceeds to do a variation of good mornings ehich looks more like a standing ab crunch. I was just waiting for his back to snap.
Next. Weve got a machine at my gym that assists you when doing dips and chins. You stand on the platform and set the weight accoringly to assist you and it pusshes you up. Any way alot of people like to sit in front of it and push down the platform kind of like bench dips. Well this old man went to do it and instead of sitting on the step in front of it he sits on the platform and goes crashing down into it. Then he gets stuck and is so embarrased to ask for help to get out. It took him like 5 min.
Last is the idiot kid in my gym about 3 weeks ago who decided to incline the treadmill as high as it would go put it at max speed while he straddles it and then jumps in the air and trys to start running only to have his feet swept out from under hin and slam his face into the control panel, then the treadmill, then go shooting off it about 10 feet across the room. The kid had to have broke his nose cuz he had a steady stream of blood flowin like a a slow piss.
Who needs comedy clubs just go to the gym.
