some of the stupidest things i see at my gym

NO NO

I bet you guys are all small and weak. Good form is important but super slow reps don't do shit for building muscle. I know because I tried this method for a very long time. Think about it. The muscles you are trying to build up are fast twitch. They are designed to contract explosively. Try looking up Dr. Squat or Westside powerlifting club.

I HAVE BEEN LIFTING WEIGHTS FOR 20 YEARS. SLOWN AND UNDER CONTROL REPS WILL GIVE YOU MASS AND STRENGTH. FASTAND EXPLOSIVE ARE GOOD MAYBE IF YOUR WORKING ON GETING OUT OF THE BLOCKS FASTER COMING OUT OF YOUR THREE POINT STANCE IF YOU ARE A FOOTBALL PLAYER AND A FEW OTHER THINGS. AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE GOOD FORM ON THOSE FAST LIFTS YOUR ASS WILL TEAR UP SOME SHIT. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE I TORE MY PEC DOING SOME EXPLOSIVE LIFTING

the ILS is funny
my gym has a bunch of guys who think they are "powerlifters"
one of them asked me to spot him, at like 315, and he proceeded to do the slapping and grunting and making that vien in the forehead pop routine
then he pushes up the bar WITH HIS STOMACH!? I'm no powerlifter but I am imagining that this is not a legal lift, especially with his ass off the bench
to make it worse, after he struggled for that 1 rep, he trounced around the gym with ILS, all 230lbs of fat of him

ok i'm done

I see this shit daily,I goto a college gym where there is a level 10 napolean complex at all times. I was benching once and this guy wanted to use the bench after I was done, and I had finished up with 135 as a nice lighter set but I used 35's and a 10 on each side because I dont need the ego boost of the 45lbs, well this shit unloaded the 135 and went and got the 45;s and only used that weight. I got a good laugh

I think the stupidest thing everbody sees is guys that have a massive upper body and tiny legs....then try to act like bad mofo's. If you're a bad mofo, then quit being a little bitch and work your fucking legs!

I think the funniest thing that ever happened to me in the gym (not funny at the time; kinda pissed me off) was I finished squatting and i started unloading the weight. This dude asked if he could use the rack, so I kept unloading it for him. he said he'd do it and he didn't need the help. so i let him be with 3 plates on each side. well, dumbass decides to strip all teh plates off ONE side first. crash goes the barbell...straight into the huge mirror beside the rack. i started laughing, but this old guy at the gym comes up and starts berating me, telling me i should have taken off the weight. i told him my story (gritting my teeth and trying not to jump off the leg press swinging with a 45 pound plate), but it did no good. oh well, stupid people just won't learn.
