Man I see some people doing some fuckin retarded workouts at the gym and I just stand there and think " I wonder what muscle he thinks hes working?" ex: just yesterday I saw a guy grab a 65lb curl bar and start swinging it like it was a hocky stick between a horrible display of what I figure were curls. And after that I saw him puck up some 25lb dumbells and begin throwing uppercuts and jabs with them whaile running forward. I dont know maybe its just me but I caught myself staring like 5 times. I just wanted to know if you have some people laik that at your gym. Or maybe I just need to move.
 
Thats funny as hell. If I saw someone do that I would shit my pants. I love when people come in and just do bench, or when they pile on the weight, scream like hell, and only go half way down. sometimes stupid people will sit on the machines backwards. It just looks funny as hell, and they dont even know it. It seems most people out there have no friggen clue what the hell they are doin. Or I think its funny when people sit on other peoples backs when doing calf raisers, shit looks gay as hell!
 
I saw a group of women, maybe about 8 women following this "female trainer". They were doing circuit training. Never, and I mean NEVER, in my life have i laughed so hard at the gym. She would make these ladies crawl from one side of the gym to the other. I mean on all 4's crawling like babies. Then they got to the corner of the gym and used the bar as a baseball bat and the women kept on swinging the bar around like a baseball bat. THen they used did alternate presses w/ dumbells while doing a standing still jogging type movement. Man the sight was hilarious. Especially when they were crawling from one side of the gym to the next! and i'm like, what on God's green earth is that suppossed to work out?
 
i saw a man do the jitterbug whilst holding onto dumbells.

he said all the heads of his traps were getting a good work out.
 
Hey PopiChulo

Hey PopiChulo, I bet he was some little fuck about 5'8" and 125 lbs soakin wet in a wife-beater. There's a bunch of those guys where I train cause I lift in a gym open to everyone at my college. They're the same one that stand in front of the mirror and stare at thier biceps after doing curls, cause thats the only thing they know how to do. Then they'll walk off with thier imaginary lat syndrome and not show up for another 3 or 4 weeks.
 
hahhahahahah

this is a funny post

yes (ILS) is a horrible affliction that affects a disturbing number of people.

yeah, i see a few idiots in the gym

one guys takes two dumbells by his side and sways side to side for a half an hour

another lady i see does some kind of jump that would make you crack up. it looks like a jumping jack and she makes tons of noice crashing her fat ass onto the group.

some idiot comes into the gym, does the most random exercises, screams while doing upright rows with 10 pounds on each side, he is as lanky as a scarecrow

ahh yes....we get lots of those too. imaginary lat syndrome huh....:FRlol: :FRlol: :FRlol:
 
I like the one where people take a hold of the lat pulldown bar, and kinda do a combination of a lat pulldown, a triceps pushdown and something else....
 
I got three favorites to pick on:

1) There is this old, skinny oriental guy that just sits down on a dip machine and watches everybody for a long time. I used to like the machine so I once asked him if I could "work in." He didn't understand so I asked again. He still didn't understand. Probably doesn't speak english.

2) Guys that make a big production out of putting on a lot of weight and then doing 50% motions. They always have this shit eating grin of great victory when they get off the bench.:(

3) Guy is throwing 30 pounds on the curl bar. Walks up and points out that he has never seen anyone doing deadlifts at the gym before. Like I care what other people do or think? I'll move to a real gym before too long. Got some free months because some jackass swiped a couple hundred bucks from my locker.
 
Great thread.

Here's one of my favorites:

There's this guy at my gym, must be in his seventies. He's rail thin with white whispy hair. Every time I've seen him he's doing the same exercise. He stands at the machine used for tricep pushdowns, puts the pulley near the floor and holds the bar at his throat with the pin at the bottom of the weight stack. He then proceeds to rock his upper-body back and forth as he thrusts with his hips, humping the air. What muscle this is working I don't want to know.
 
The funniest thing I've ever seen is a guy trying to do incline bench for the first time. He had an incline bench setup in a squat rack with the safety bars just above his legs when he was sitting on the bench. The very first rep with a 45 on each side, he looses it and it comes crashing down on the safety bars making all kinds of noise. Everyone in the gym stops what there doing because they thought the guy killed himself. He's was so embarrassed that I've never seen him again. Too funny.

one guy gets a v.light bar (hollow) sets it up on his back like hes doing squats and then spends 30 mins swaying back and forth side to side (note- not broomstick twists)

feking retard. hates the stereo on too loud (uni gym). when he chastised me about it there was a girl nearby so i bit my toungue and reduced the volume a lil. not he thinks he's all that....i swear i could use the guy as a toothpick, coming from me that aint much.....but i must use my self control and not do anything violent :)
 
I know that everyone stares at me in the gym when I'm doing deadlifts.
It's a fitness centre not a gym first off.
I've only seen one other person on one other occasion doing deadlifts other than myself.
I can just see them saying "What the hell is that boy doing?"

eZ!

I get stares too when I do deadlifts at my gym, Bally's, here in socal. me being skinny, people look at me wierd because I am all about compound movements. of course, they look at the old guy who used the power rack before me doing not close to partial reps on squats with four 45's on each side like he is some kind of pro. figures...
 
Last week I wandered into the gym for a shoulder day, and there was some short stubby little dumptruck of a lady doing ballet stretches on the spotter platform of the military bench. She was spinning around and almost dancing. I used dumbells instead. She continued for the whole time I was on DBs, then I walked over to ask to use the rack very politely and she said she wasn't through with it. Anyway, after I was done telling her that it was a weight lifting bench, and not a dance floor and she should get her tubby little ass off of it before I removed her, she complained and tried to get my membership revoked. The owner just laughed. :doublefi: Stupid people are annoying
 
hahhahhahhhah

i hate gym fatties, they always go into the gym and try to workout and wonder why nothing happens as they diet on doritos and twinkies
 
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....
 
HEY INSANGUIS
Dog I swear you must have been there man he honestly was like 5'8 maybe like 130 and I swear he was wearing a wife beater. IT WAS YOU WASNT IT. :-) Nah it seemw like its the same twerps that do stupid shit.;)
 
OK OK well heres 2 things that Ive seen recently that made me say HUMMMM!!!!

1. The guy that is about 5'11 and about 125lb that sits there staring in the mirror and lifting his shirt up to flex his abs as he somehow believes hes swool because he has abs, not because he has any mass but because he has like 3% body fat and is as thin as a toothpick.
2. the big fat guy that does lat pulldowns with the entire rack while swaying his back up and down and then gets up with his Imaginary Lat Sindrome like hes some giant while he caries his fat gut around.
 
This isn't as funny as the other posts, actually it's sad. I'm sure most gyms have people like this.

The ones who come in day after day doing the same half-ass workout, no intensity, just going through the motions, some for hours at a time. (I SLEEP with more intensity!) Their bodies never change (at least in the years I've gone to this gym) but they still keep coming and doing the same thing.

Then there are people who think just BEING in the gym should count for something. They spend all their time socializing but never attempt more than one or two exercises. Then they complain about their "busy" lives and bad genetics.

ahhh yes.....I see lots of those people too. so sad...:(
 
I see dumb people

When i use to work out at NYSC in ramsey, i use to see at least 2 people a workout do some of the most stupid shit you have ever seen
the guy who dropped the ez on his head after maxing in skull cruchers without a spot is def one of the best
now that i work out at college i am surrounded by less dumb people (mind you, they are everywhere you look)
 
NYSC in Ramsey?
I used to go there two years ago! They had some big fucking assholes there. I was a newbie back then so I didn't notice some of the assholes I would now. But I distinctly remember several people completley wasting expensive gym memberships. Which town are you from?
 
I have seen a lot of people in my gym do curls with the cables. the cables where you do cable flyes. they look like they are doing a duoble bicep pose but they are doing a curling action with the cables. do any of you guys do this? I dont know what to think of this, but I dont do it.
 
We have a pot-bellied man who does sit-ups on the decline bench non-stop for like 30-45 min STRAIGHT! Sweats like a pig all over it too. He cleans it when he's done, but it's not like you could work in, and it's our ONLY decline bench. :mad:
 
yeah I seen that workout before actually it's pretty common in my gym. where they do a double bicep pose with the fly handles? as far as i know i have never seen that in a workout mag or any common info . who the hell came up with that

That exercise seems to be popular at my gym too, I've tried it a few times at the end of a Bi workout and it seems to give me a pretty good pump. Allthough, you end up looking like a big show-off when you do them. Has anyone else tried these?
 
Theres this cardio room, which has windows all at the front (the direction everyone faces). The room joins onto the area where the water-tap is and seats.
One time i felt a little hungry so went and got a chocolate bar, sat down and started eating it. Then i looked up and noticed that there was a whole class in the cardio room of fatties. I mean they were huge. Obviously trying to lose weight, and there i was sitting right infront of them eating a chocolate bar. After most of them stopped doing their 'running on the spot' exercise and just started staring at me, the instructer turned around and asked me to move.
Probably more embarrasing than funny.

its a double bicept cabe curls, I know a grip of people who do them including me and if you look in last months Muscle&Fitness you will see them demonstrating it, it is supposed to work on increasing the peak of your bicepts it is actually a good exercise you should try them.
 
R.B.I. really bad injury

OOO mY what a great topic.
I saw this guy, whom is a bit retarded, You know they have that "TARD' strength. He was doing Flyes on a machine, however he was going far enough back that his elbows were touching each other"...
Holy shit I was going to call the EMT's. I could not but stare and wait for some gross thing to happen.......
 
Get this... You know the freestanding decline bench that people use to do decline dumbells and situps on, well... There is this guy in the gym who sits on it up at the highest setting (like 45 degree angle or something) and has his partner hand him two 45 pound plates that he hugs against his chest and atempts to slowly lower himself down but gets only a quarter of the way down and just falls the rest. There is a big "Oufff!" at the end when the weight crushes his chest. Then his partner takes off the weight and they repeat, like 10 times. It is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.
 
I workout at my college gym and let me tell you, some funny shit goes on. A couple incidences come to mind right off hand...

1) This guy who is a damn body double of carrot top comes in and does one set of damn near every exercise possible. One day, he came up to the dumbell racks and picked up 2-5 lb. weights and started to flail around like he was boxing. He was grunting with every punch. He stopped doing it as soon as he saw my laughing my ass off at him-I had to leave the gym for a minute to compose myself.

2) Some old fucker who has a membership there who wears sweatpants about 10 sizes too small. Anyways, he was doing overhead skull crushers with the EZ bar. During each rep, he jumped about 4 inches off the ground-once again, I had to leave the gym to stop laughing.

3) Another scrawny fucker who put the most weight on the bar that he could do and did holds with the weight. He would put 1200 lbs. on the leg press, take it off the rack, and simply hold the weight, fully extended for like 5 seconds, then rack it and take about a 10 minute break and breathe really heavy.

4) The all-time classic was this guy(once again, another scrawny fucker) working out with 135 on bench(doing 3 sets of 3 reps) and screaming his ass off-I mean, as loud as you can scream. On his final set, the bar was uneven and one of the plates slid off the bar. He didn't have a spotter, so he started yelling "help me!" once the plate slid off. I about lost it!

There's never a dull moment where I work out! Between that, looking at all the college hotties, and lifting, it's an experience every day! Oh, BTW, I have seen all of these incidences in about a two month period.

I'll do them every few weeks early in the morning when no-one else is around. Guns ain't big enough to be dominating our only cable machine :)

This thread is funny. And I have to make sure I don't show up here. Mental note: but sweatpants 10 sizes bigger :lmao:

Well this doesn't fall under retarded exercise but.... there's this one girl who works out with a partner... awesome shoulders nice triangle and all but when she does bench presses she exhales very loudly. Orgasmically. I'm talking "uhhHHH!! oh! oh! oHHHHH!!!"
FUCK ME it's distracting as HELL!!! Half the time I'm laughing, the other half I want her number.
 
I saw this guy today he had a 60 lbs barbell and bent down to pick it up off the floor and brought it to his waist then reversed curled it to his chest but as he did he would swing it really hard so that it would spin in his hands like 2 or 3 rotations then when it stopped spinning he repeated the whole process. man was I laughing my ass off
 
Cell Phone leg extensions.....I swear to God, I'm sooooooo tired of seeing these friggin people working out and talking on their cell phones....they are either doing it on leg machines or the cardio machines...

Look people, if you have enough air left in your lungs to talk on the friggin phone while you are in the middle of a set, you ain't workin' hard enough.

I wish our gym would ban cell phones in the workout area, but then I don't go to a real gym.....with a name like "Racquetball and Fitness", go figure.....

Lots of gyms need this on a huge sign above the door.
 
There's a little fuckin' wrestler dude at my school who always comes into the gym and does like quarter movements, really quickly. He's usually does one set of each exercise and then takes off. It basically just looks like he's shaking the weights back and forth. But he's in there almost everyday thinking he's actually doing something for himself. It's pretty hilarious to watch him.
 
Thank you I am glad you all enjoy my post, its some funny ass shit to see some people do some crazy shit. Hey a little karma in return would be nice thanks guys.:p
 
1)How about a guy doing hyperextensions on a sitting cable row machine.

2nd) Guy doing shoulder work while lying on the floor using cables of another machine.

3rd) Guy doing squats with empty bar raised over his head.,....
']

cant remeber anymore right now.
 
our gym of oldies was jammin to some backstreet boys.............and a dude with headband and striped socks broke into the combo of the funky chicken and electric slide in the aerobics room. He thought he was a real lady killer.
 
yestarday at the gym I was benching I sit up from a set. and i see this tall dangly guy juggling 3 medicine balls hahaha. He must of learned that one in clown school because it was damn funny how he was doing it in sets.
 
Three point bench press

This is a classic:

You have two friends walk into the gym. You can already sense trouble. Cause monday is "Everybodytrainschest" monday. These two baffoons are obviously gonna do something stupid, the first sign is when neither one decides to warm up.

The ambiguously gay duo walks over to the bench, and puts on about 225 lbs. Obviously niether man can handle even this weight, and the first gets under it like he is going to bench it. This is mistake #2.

The man who is supposed to "spot" the first guy is far too weak to even do that, so he has his other friend come and co-spot. When you need TWO spots on a bench, there is something wrong. They give the first f*cknut a "liftoff." Bad sign #3, if you are too weak to even unrack the weight, you have a problem. So this guy manages to hold the weight about his head for about two minutes, and "concentrate", then proceeds to drop it directly onto his chest. His rib cage must have depressed a good half foot. After the bounch, he arches his back and he begins to look like the natural bridge as he strains to lift the weight for ONE repitition. He has three points of contact at this point. His feet make two, and the back of his head on the bench make three. I sh*t you not. He must have the strongest neck in the world. These ard bad signs 3, 4 and 5.

So Tiny Mcgee strains under the weight, and his "spotters" assist with the lift and he completes 1 rep with about 80% assistance. It's not bad enough that he has done this, but at the top he says "ok, im gonna go for 4." WHAT?!? Bad sign 6.

He drops the weight on his chest again, and can't even get it off tis time. I have never seen weight descend faster in my life. A third guy rushes over and tries to lift up the weight and help the other two when the plates fall off on one side cause the moron forgot to use a collar. Bad signs 7 and 8. The plates crash to the floor, and tiny mcgee gets up and says "f*ck" then just leaves the gym.
 
Yeah i never saw that happen but it really pisses me off when the a scawny kid comes about and has his friend the spoter give him 80% assistance. Ever seen that movie space cowboys lol

the only acceptable time to do with is if a friend helps ya with a last rep the least he possible can. I think it's mostly ignorance tho, possibly intentional ignorance
 
I workout at my college gym so there are sooo many people in there who dont know what they are doing..it is really annoying to me usually...
once i saw a girl stand in front of the shoulder press and lift it like she was tryin to curl it...
I also work at the gym and once there was a drunk guy on one of the precors..
but my ultimate favorite are the girls who come in wearin so much makeup u can hardly see their faces and lift like 2lb dumbells, say they are so tired and leave to hit up the cafetieria....shoot me...
 
My gym has a wide variety of people in it. It sucks when old people, who have no purpose there, use the machines you want to use... or just sit on them... same thing with the benches. I did 4 sets of incline dumbells press with dumbells of a different weight than what I planned on... the guy did nothing but hold the bells throughout my sets. I was ready to attack him.

Another thing... I am 20, so middle aged people believe that they have some sort of power over me. They leave a machine for 5-10 minutes, I consider it up for grabs... and then they say they are still using it. Fuckers... piss me off.

Intensity... I thrive on it. I see 75% of the people in my gym lacking it. They waste my time as they use machines and bells that I plan I using... I watch them, thinking they are the shit, then I show them what amazing pumps are and teach them about working out in the gym.

:destroy:
 
There is one guy who does like 1/5th squats at my gym and he says he wants to save his knees and that he never uses that range of motion anyway. Ignorant. That is all i can say.

Than one guy asks him if he is squatting deep enough and he is like yeah your fine and i step in and tell him he needs to go deeper. How the hell is 1/5 guy going to tell you you went deep enough if he doesn't know what a good squat is...?
 
This thread and others closely related to this one sure makes me glad I workout at home. No waiting to use equipment, no distractions, and no stupid people other than myself. Also, no one to ridicule my use of light weights on some exercises due to rotator-cuff problems.
 
There is this guy at my gym who I call the Ballistic Gay Dude. He has no muscle whatsoever and acts in the gayest manner possible. I mean, limp wrist, talking with a lisp, striped workout shorts, the whole deal.

When he lifts, he does all 20 of his reps in about 5 seconds, bouncing up and down like a an excited toddler. Hence the "Ballistic" part of his nickname. He will hold 30 pound dumbells in his hands and pound out 20 reps of turbo shrugs and he looks like he's having a freakin' seizure.

The other day I saw him doing the funniest thing I've ever seen. He was on his knees in front of the cable pushdown station, doing a pulldown ab exercise. Except he was very close to the ground, and his butt was sticking out as far as possible, and as always, he was doing his reps at lightspeed. He was in the perfect position for getting screwed up the ass, bouncing back and forth, look of concentraion on his face, eyes rolling.

I had to leave the room to keep from laughing out loud... :D
 
damn..all these post r hilarious .. wish i could read them, all..

theres allot of clowns in gyms..

theres a retarted kid in my girls gym..that starts doing jumping jacks..and cartwheels and hes real loud..its hard to get a workout in with him around..
 
How bout lat pulldowns with the one single fixed plate on the machine and they pull the bar down to the right level, but with their arms half extended.
 
LoL...very funny thread :D

The worst thing i have ever seen at my gym was this one guy doing
Concentration Curls ,nothing wrong with that,but every time he stoped inbetween sets
he would start to pick his nose and when he thought nobody was looking his way he would slip what he thought was an oozy
lump of protien goodness straight into his mouth :p

not a nice thing to be looking at when you've just recked yourself with squats:sick:
 
Yes... that's a good tip ...
ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!!LOL:D

HAHA!!!! I would just stand ther and laugh if I saw anyone doing something dumb. I'd probably just stand there and stare.LOL
 
Between all of those fuckers who don't wash their hands after hitting he head and pick their noses and asses in the gym, I'm thinking about wearing dishwashing gloves when I work out... just like during sex.

:destroy:
 
I like it when the famous four some get togehter to do incline bench press and either almost fall of the bench or their back are so arched it looks like they are doing flat bench press.
 
last wednesday i was at my gym and in the toilets.. and this big buff guy was wanking in the showers. at our gym there are curtins for the shower, and this sick fuck didnt have it closed, but open for every one to see his tiny dick.
it was fucking gross. true story
 
Try Help

I remeber going to gym and not knowing what the hell to do :) maybe if you see someone struggling show them how to do a exercise correctly youll feel so much better knowing youve helped them.

Serously if I had someone come to me and show me the correct 'form' when i first started training I would have been so happy, instead i spent hours on fitness sites looking at how to do the exercises correctly

:)
 
Hahaah great story guys...for me the funniest thing I've ever saw at my gym was probably the old skinny asian guy running backwards on a treadmill next to me! He ran for a good half an hour at atleast 6mph! I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

As for people I hate the most at gyms, that would have to be the fat guys who wear wife beaters and think they're big just cuz they've got size. They're constantly checking themselves out in the mirror and lifting heavy weights that they can't handle.

Yeah, ive seen people standing backwards on the stairmasters, that just baffles me. Other funny things are

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

2)Another guy walked up to the pec dec and sat on it backwards, trying to work his delts, only to get about 1/4 inch range of motion. I know some fly machines you can work your delts on, but trust me, this is one you can't

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.
 
lol

that's what the introductory session at the gym is for
besides if you're willing to educate yourself and don't make stuff up on the fly you don't really need a lot of help do you? Seriously, all it takes is one fitness magazine.
I'll help if asked but I don't volunteer

I heard it "hits calves from a different angle" but it just seems dangerous... the construction and grip placement on those machines ain't built for bass-ackwards people

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.

At out Gym The Minnesota Twins Train during Spring Training and they , I guess are required or like to do this exercise.
 
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.

What a friggin loser
Everyone knows to get the real inspiration you need to scream "MORRRRRTAAALLLL KOM-BAAAAAATTTT"
 
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.
 
Karate Man Jr. came into my gym yesterday. He actually lifted weights and such and seemed to have some beef with me... Then, as I was doing abs, he proceeded to beat the shit out of the hack squat machine with heavy knees. Eventually, he felt embarassed and left.

:destroy:
 
Yesterday, I saw this old man doing pushups on the incline bench. He had the entire gym trying to figure out what the hell was doing.

I remeber going to gym and not knowing what the hell to do :) maybe if you see someone struggling show them how to do a exercise correctly youll feel so much better knowing youve helped them.

Serously if I had someone come to me and show me the correct 'form' when i first started training I would have been so happy, instead i spent hours on fitness sites looking at how to do the exercises correctly

I totally agree......quit laughing and try to be helpful.

As for introductory gym sessions......they don't come even close to telling you everything you need to know.

Also, I see no harm in experimenting. I wonder how many people laugh at powerlifters when they start attaching bands and chains to their bars.......alot of people cant figure it out and laugh just cos it isn't the norm. Unfortunately not many people know that this method is used at Westside Barbell and produces some of the strongest men in the world. Alot of people also do sport specific stuff that looks weird but when you talk to them about it some of them have very good reasons for training that way. So the point.....just cos it looks stupid doesnt mean that it is.
 
This has nothin to do with this post but what are chains and bands. Ive been thinking about tryin to compete in powerlifting. Never done a one rep max but my workout weights arre decent or so Ive been told.
 
waterboy go to www.elitefts.com

read all the articles (mainly the ones on testosterone online mag (accomadating resistance is the one about chains and bands..and the periodiztion bible part ii has how to compile a powerlifting program)
)
good luck
 
Hey end point or anyone. I just got done reading about 4 article and cant believe the shit ive been doing. Any ways. Igot the whole concept of the bands but not the chains. Do you know of and step by step pics or better discrition of how to use them. thanks.
