Whats the stupidest thing you have seen at your gym

[Stacemranger]

What about the old ass guys that dry their ass crack with the hand dryer...

I probably wouldn't think that was gross the first time I saw it. I would have to run out I'd be laughing so hard.

I was working out with my brother in an upscale "health club" in Waltham, MA. There was this dude that worked with my brother, who felt he was a strong guy becuase he could bench the whole stack on the universal machine, 315 lbs indicated on the machine...So genius decides to try the real bench that my brother and I were fininshing up on. This guy was probably 6 feet, 200 lbs, not in great shape, and a bit of a tool, if you know what I mean.

So what does the massive tool do? He throws on three 45's on each side, to match his 315 that he did on the machine...He gets under it thinking he is going to rep 8 or 10, struggles to lift it off, and practically decapitates himself when the bar crashes on his neck. A couple of guys help him lift it off while my brother and I are shaking out heads across the gym...But this isn't the best part...

Massive tool decides that he isn't going to fool around with free wieghts anymore, and since massive tool had never used the bench before, he strips the iron off, but ALL THREE OFF ONE SIDE 1ST. I am watching this wondering what was going to happen - sure enough, once the last 45 came off one side, the olympic bar shot over the bench like a catapault, exploding against the wall on the other side and breaking a wall sized mirror...I nearly pissed my pants.

Later,


Bluesman

There's this duschebag at my gym that wears the same white Under Armor spandex shirt every fucking day. He walks around with a substantial case of I.L.S. He's a fat fuck and has a brutal shape to his body. I just flat out laugh at him. I have no pity for idiots like that. Everyone at my gym asks me why I wear such big clothes that cover up my physique. I always just point to that asshole and say "that's why".
Another one of my favs are the 45 year old fat, white, hairy guys that wear "Y" backs. What are they thinking??

A bully and bum that thought he was hard because he did alittle boxing in a well respected gym, came into my boxing gym - put the gloves on and we sparred, i tapped him in the stomach and he ran to the corner bucket and got sick, this is after he made so much noise "destroying" the bags, with his mouth and fists .)
Similar to the noise tennis players makes just instead of per hit ball - make it per hit bag, which is constant.

Mostly everybody in the gym had giggle or smile. A humbled man he was made.

One thing I don't ever get mad about, because I did the same thing years ago, but I do always get a chuckle out of is High School age lifters discussing supplements.

1.Any supplement's value is always measured based on how much someone they know put on their bench using the supplement.

2.What the guy at GNC told them is undeniable scientific fact.(Even though it doesn't make a lick of sense.)

3.Never any mention of vitamins, anti-oxitants or EFA's.

I can't really hold any of this against them as I was exactly the same way at that age, but I seen nothing wrong with getting a laugh out of it.

I had a nice laugh over the Christmas holiday when I went back to my home town in the Northeast. I picked up a week pass at the local gold's gym and sure enough I saw a lot of the same slobs that where there over 15 yrs ago, but what's both funny and sad is they have this look to them that is just so odd. I decribe it to my friends as the "hardboiled egg on toothpicks" look. They are so proud of their 3 reps of 315 (even though they only have about a 6 inch movement because of bouncing it off their gut and I can see the spotter almost thowing his back out trying to get it up for them) and then they walk around like they can't put their arms within a foot of their sides! Christ, I friggin' laugh my ass off every time I go home!

there's a dude at my gym who will grunt incessently at the top of his lungs when doing half squats @ 135lbs.
Him and his buddy do the same thing on the curl rack and dumbbell curls.
Worst thing is the guy is 250 30%BF and walks around arms outwards, chest out like he is the man.

Once his buddy started screaming for him to 'GET THAT SHIT UP' when he was dumbbell benching 65's. He responded by even louder moaning and grunting, i wouldnt mind it if he wasnt doing such low weight.

To this day i have not seen them do any other excersize other than squat curl and bench.

God i hate stupid people. It makes going to the gym a funny experience though.

but when it happens in the gym it pisses me off...its funny to talk about later though.....i hate stupid ass people....

its like this you cant just BE a lawyer right?...you have to go to school and learn and all that.....same thing goes for wieight lifting regardless of your goals....research it or you will get hurt

true:
police officer was doing smith machine squats with a bench underneath for a depth check. like using a chair. well he went too heavy and failed causing him to be pinned between 500 some odd pounds and a bench. he broke his neck and now is paralyzed. HILARIOUS!
