Whats the funniest thing youve seen in the weight room?

These posts don't get old, this is something we can all relate to.

I remember this old woman getting on the stepper and while using the machine she was "throwin her hands in the air like she just don't care" so to speak. Lol...she was raisin' the roof. Weird!

The guy who came for like two weeks and benched EVERYDAY now we don't see him anymore.

The guys my age who only come in on Monday to do bench and arms. Hahhaha

There was this old guy (about 75 or so) who had me cracked up the whole day.... I don't think he'd ever been in a gym before, but it was Boxing Day and I think he'd just received some new training pants and jacket for Christmas and decided he'd put them to good use.

He came into the gym and looked around curiously for a while, and then started to do some of those old fashioned stretches which would make modern personal trainers cringe. Then he began jogging back and forth from one end of the gym to another, kinda shaking his hands around loosely.... looked rather comical.

But then he decided to have a go at the punching bag. After hurting his wrist with the first punch and the bag not moving, he began pushing the bag so it would swing.... and then he'd punch it as it swung away from him to make it look like it was moving.

But the funniest part was when he tried the floor-ceiling bag. Those things are pretty tricky to get the hang of.... and his first punch was fine, but he cleanly missed the next 30 or so. So after stopping it from moving, he aimed up and took a swing at it.... the ball swung right around in a circle and smacked him on the side of the head. Which was funny enough. But obviously frustrated with it, he angrily threw another hook at it.... not for the sake of training, but out of frustration and anger. It was like kicking your car's tire when you get out and discover it's flat. So as he was about to walk away, he threw a frustrated hook.... and of course the ball swung around and hit him in the side of the head again.

Poor old guy.

There was this skinny black kid who loaded the squat rack with 225 to begin with. I thought if this kid is beginning with that weight and he actually squats it, I quit. Well he unracked it and did like 1/5 reps for about 4 and then put it back.

These older guys, 30 yr olds, were in the gym with their little kids and trying to tell them how to workout. They were doing cable side bends whilst telling their kids all about lifting and I was over doing triples on deadlifts with a crazy look in my eye, sweat pouring off of me. I felt like saying "yeah kids, what your dad is doing is ALOT harder than what i'm doing." lol

This fat bitch had no shame on the squat rack. She was making a funny face before she even put the bar on her back. She wore a combination of anger and struggle. She kept the face for about 5 secs, i was like wtf? She then proceeded to let out a large *FRAP* sounding noise from her ass. I looked at her, she didn't even care- all she did was blink away mindlessly while mindlessly performing her 20 reps. She put the bar back, and was struggling with the right part of the bar. I run over and give her a hand, and she lets out another one.

i guess that's not really funny, but you had to be her and see her face.

probably me on a really really intense day when I bitch at myself when I miss a rep or so calling myself a little girl or a pussy, constantly talking to myself on the really intense days in between sets convincing myself I can do more. I mean its not loud but with that and the wild look in my face gotta be funny from an outsiders point of view.

I was benching one day and I had about 225 on the bar and I got a drink of water only to return and see this big fat dude with all kinds of tattoo's taking the weight off the bar. I'm a big fucker (6'1 240 lbs less than 10% bodyfat) and I tell him I was using that, He replies not no more. I was about to bust him up but I let him slide for some stupid reason. Next, I move on to the squat rack. Normally I wouldn't do chest and legs on the same day but I was going to be at the Arnold Classic all weekend so I figured I'd do a little bit of everything. Anyway, I get about 500 on the rack and I go to get a drink and come back and he's taking the weight off the squat rack now! HOLY SHIT! Is this fucker stupid! My buddy see's me changing colors and he grabs me. The dude looks right at me as if to say fuck you as he's pulling all the weight off one side. Next thing you know the bar flips over and smacks him on the bottom of the jaw and knocked one of his front teeth out. I was on the ground LMFAO!

I was describing him...plus I always thought black kids were stronger. So I wanted to see if it was true. It's not.
