Whats the stupidest thing you have seen at your gym

[bullcocky]

I get a kick out of watching people on the seated rows; they pull on the weight letting their entire body go back and forth throughout the excercise. Come people, if you are going to do an exercise, please use proper form cause you look like an idiot.

I once saw this brain dead ex-boxer dancing to house music.

So far this is by far the funniest post I've ever read.

My workout partner and I have a name for everyone in the gym. The hot girl that was first seen with FSU on the ass of her shorts is appropriately referred to as "FSU", and so on. It makes sense

Well there is this annoying fuck at the gym. In his late 50's. Wears black all the time and this black or baby blue ski hat. Not so odd...? Well folks this is Boca Raton, Florida. He has a squinty eye and never shuts up. Spitting image of Popeye. Hence the name... Popeye. He's known by everybody at the gym by this. He will do any excercise where there are people to talk to around. He even gets close., my partner or I will elevate the DEFCON level so we know that he's there. There's 3 rules when he's aroung.
#1 don't make eye contact
#2 if he talks to you anyway don't talk back
#3 refer back to rule #1 and repeat
The 1st time you talk to him, he thinks he's your friend and never shuts up. Ever. Days later. I've seen too many people make the mistake of talking to him, even if just to tell him to shut up and go away.

The one thing I hate more than that is people who leave the dumbells wherever they finished using them. Well Popeye decided he was going to do this as well. We are at DEFCON 5 (he's working out right next to us) and Popeye and leaving his dumbells. Not just one set, but the 15's 20's 25's and 30's. This was a dangerous combination, not to mention I was in week 6 of a cycle. As he's walking away I start launching these dumbells at him telling him to put his fucking shit away. Well he didn't dare come back, scared the shit out of him...myself as well. Regardless, after this situation we don't ever get to DEFCON 2. He won't come near us.

I thought that eventually this guy HAS to show up if i read thru all of the posts. Known him for about 8 years. Seems to follow me from gym to gym. It is a curse. He has been warned at all of the gyms he has worked out at for many of his actions. My first encounter with him was at a gym in Pompano Beach, FL in the ab workout area. He was doing leg lifts on decline sit-up bench...and of course this is one of the rare occasions that he wasn't wearing his token black baggies. He had on short shorts and his saggy old nuts were floppin' out and all over the place.

That was years ago and he is still causing trouble....and he is ALWAYS at the gym. His workouts must last 4-5 hours so he works up quite a sweat/funk and never wipes anything down. I confronted him about this one day and he had no good excuse for his actions so he just said it wasn't him. Well a couple of days later he comes up and starts talkin' to me like we are old buddies. And if you ever have a conversation with him of more than 30 second (which i hope you never do) he manages to work in racist comments. His favorite is "monkey". He even called my ex who was the manager at one of the gyms a "wetback"....and he is cuban or mexican himself.

Gym staff is just lookin' for a reason to kick him out so maybe the curse will be broken and he won't be around much longer.

Rubberband men

We had two rubber band men at our gym. They would tie these industrial sized rubber bands to the bottom of the squat rack. Then they would loop the ends over the ends of the bar after It's loaded. They would squat to a wooden box. But they would crash down on it, sit there for a couple seconds, bellow like a water buffalo then do a half squat/ good morning.

They got tossed from the gym after they bent every good Olympic bar in the joint.

Oh by the way, they were both Jabba the Hut look-a-likes!!

Recently there have been few guys talking on their cell with their ear phone (hands free) and working out at the same time. This is quite annoying seeing them to bench press, bicep curls...etc

Too bad that this is an old post because it is funny as shit. I don't have training partner so I don't get to share my funny experiences with anyone, I just think about it as I lift the barbells and listen to loud music. Ok, I work out twice a day right now and there is this guy with flaming red hair cut in a spikey topped mullet that flows shoulder length. He always where cut off jean shorts and combat boots with a tight white tee-shirt. He walks bull legged with his arms hung out like a jackass because he is trying to walk like a big man. I'm not huge, but WTF????!!! Try working out with that nightmare strutting around.

This doorman i use to work with would get in the butt-master machine and work shoulders.
He thought it was a shoulder machine press.
I told him it was a great machine and we used it all the time.

This is something I heard in the gym, not saw. I don't see many mad incidents in my gym but laugh at the utter bullshit that people say.

Only yesterday I overheard a guy saying he did GH when he went to the US for 6 weeks. He then goes on to tell the two people listening that he did 2ml everyday (he said most do 10ml) and it made him huge, mad and made his balls shrink. What a retard.

There is this guy at my gym my brother and I call Flat Chest.. This guy has huge arms, shoulders, but chest is about as flat as a wall and no neck what so ever. When doing curls, he sounds like a hydraulic, when walking he pivots side to side like a penguin..
