    Gym stupid stuff - weight belts

    Here's another thread dedicated to dumbasses in the gym.

    So, I'm in the gym working legs Sunday morning and in between sets I see a 20-30 something guy come strolling in. He's got a pretty decent upper body but the skinniest toothpick legs you can imagine. He proceeds directly to the DB rack, puts on his weight belt as tight as can be and proceeds to start repping out DB curls. I actually hesitate to call them that because the only muscles he was working were his lower back. He was bending over so far at the waist I thought he was gonna bang his forehead on the DB rack. That answered my question as to why he needed the belt. What really got me laughing was that when he finished with the DBs, he went to the Preacher Curl bench and started doing curls there...............still wearing the belt. He stayed in the gym for a total of about 15 minutes and never took the belt off.

    As if that weren't bad enough, right after he left another guy of roughly the same build came in and went straight for the Hammer Strength High Row machine. What was the first thing he did? You guessed it, he put on a weight belt.
    Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

    I bid $50 for you to strangle one of them with their weight belt.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    I get annoyed that some guys just like hanging around the locker room naked. Wrap a friggin towel around your waist for crying out loud. The other day a guy was just standing there completely naked while having a conversation with another dude.

    Sounds like a case of fashion envy to me.

    You're just ticked because you can't get your belt buckled anymore.

    Oh, wait a minute....that would be ME, lol.

    That's a valid reason, but is it valid for toothpick-leg guy? You know his problem isn't a herniated disc, it's that he's a tool.

    Were you wearing a Mauve crushed velvet warm-up suit at the gym Sunday morning?

    Seriously, what purpose would a belt serve while doing Preacher Curls and/or Hammer Strength High Rows?

    extra back support, it's possible he has back issues like I do and just wants to protect his back.
