typical monday at the gym and everybodies benching.i went in at a later time so i could help my wife with a different routine.she went her way i went mine.i was on one bench and the guy in his late twenties was on the other bench,doing the "bounce" bench press.i thought this guy was gonna crack his sternum every frick'in time he did a rep.if he was to use "NORMAL" form he never would've done the weight he was using.at first sight i thought he was mental, but after it all was said and done, he was amusing cause with out him knowing it, he told my wife that i was'nt training right.:headbang: :headbang: :evil: god help you my son,now go bounce your way to a big chest:D
 
Yeah. It's funny how the gym is always packed on Monday nights. You'd think they were giving away free prizes and money or something. Over the course of the week there are less and less people who show up. Never knew that you only needed to train one day a week to be healthy.
 
Isn't it funny how the most inexperienced lifters are eager to critique someone elses form? There's a new HS kid in our gym that apparently thinks he knows it all. I finally came out and told him he's gonna hurt himself if he keeps at it like he is. He told me I don't know shit, and I said "well, if that's so, then I must have superior genetics".
 
Heh heh.....there's this one guy I see at my gym......he piles 8 plates onto Cybex bench press machine, then goes on to BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE his way to 8 or 10 reps. Well, at least when he uses the machne, the weight never touches his chest. Too bad he's denying himself a better workout though.

When I first started working out years ago, my first try at Smith squats didn't go too good. I didn't know what I was doing. One of the meatheads at the gym offered to help me get it right. That was nice of him. :) It's not too often at the gym that an experienced weightlifter will offer to help an obvious newbie.
 
my old training partner taught me alot, and if someone comes up ask's for advice i'll do everything i can to help out.but when a person like that says things like this guy did, i just shake my head in wonderment.
 
Yeah it's always funny to watch newbies trying to kill themselves in public.Later on you overhear them complaining about how they can't understand why they have pain/soreness in muscles they didn't "work".
It's even funnier to see the "lat spread strut" from someone that looks like a matchstick.Do you guys ever notice this when you're out in public & other guys(haven't seen any women do it) tense up & spread their arms & walk like they have such massive legs they can hardly move.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: This is always a great laugh 'cause the only ones that do it don't have any muscle to speak of.If you have it,you don't have to act like that,people just know.

love it! i typically love it when me and my partner are in the gym on about our 3rd set of say bench. some newbie walks into the gym and walks over to the bench and immediately loads 2 plates on the bar, does some light stretching and proceeds to think he is gonna push the weight like it is his warmup weight. i just love seeing the look on his face when the weight comes crashing down on him and you have to help him pull it off!

or better yet ever see the guy that loads the bar and proceeds to walk around the gym, come back over to the bench and stretch out a little and the take the weight right back off. I love it!

ooooh thats a nice comeback rob :rolleyes:
 
Ya'll will like this one.

A couple of weeks ago I was doing the leg press when some guy I've never seen before in the gym asked if he could jump in and do a set. I had about 1100lbs on at that point. Well, he lifted it off the supports (which suprised me) then tried to do a set when bamm! It came slamming down on him.

Yes, newbies don't have alot of training knowledge but this guy was an idiot.
 
I am one of the guys that walks with his arms out to his sides when he walks, and it isnt cause I think that I am tough, that is just how my arms are. I have to TRY HARD to keep them right at my sides. I think it is a flexibility issue with me.

I do know what you are talking about though.

I personally hate it when people go to the bench rack, throw on twice their body weight, they start bringing the weights down, stop halfway, so their arms are BARELY bent, then they kick their stomach out like they are going to hump the ceiling. Then they get all cocky cause of all of the weight they are doing. :mad:

its called power lifting
 
I goto to a rec center about once per week and it just amazes me the way some people train. I usually do not say anything, I just watch, and sometimes it is quite entertaining.

You may be asking why don't I help them? Well, first of all many people get offended at this, also I do not like to offer unsolicitated advice.
 
that doesnt really seem like a power lift, they arent doing the lift right. they dont go down as far as they are supposed to, and they use their legs to change the angle of the bench to make it easier, and not only that, they get momentum from thrusting their hips like that.

more like, NO power lifting.
 
...actually, I thought it was called being an idiot and working towards an injury...
 
yeah it can be called that too but the kids with the big mouths and small dicks over at my school call it powerlifting i can outbench all the football players at my weight though they pussies lift like once a week and thing they are the next arnold i hate pussies like that
 
Rob_NC, there is nothing wrong with high school kids, I am a freshman in HS and I lift, but I am not like ignorant like that kid and stuff. I just go to older and like "bigger" people than me and ask them for help etc and usually they are cool enough to help. That's going to be the kid that doesn't know what he's doing, keep doing the same rutein, and won't grow after 3-4 years of lifting because he thinks he doesn't need help from anyone.
 
Hmmm, I am 15, been lifting for probably not as long as you guys, but my theory is that it's not the weight that matters, it's the form. You can put as much weight as you want on the benchpress or anything else and do their own "form" of not even doing the exercise, but a person who just benches like 10lbs with perfect form will have better results than the other guy. You can brag all you want saying oh I can bench 250lbs, but once you go to the gym to show them, your friends will just laugh at you. Just my two cents.
 
that better not be attack towards me, junior cause i can outbench and out curl your ass anyday of the week injured or not
 
Kane what are you talking about? The only message above that I wrote was when I said Rob_NC, the rest was just my two cents, nothing about you. Don't know why you just went phycho on me. Oh now I see, you probably think when I said "You can brag all you want saying oh I can bench 250lbs, but once you go to the gym to show them, your friends will just laugh at you." I was saying that to you? Nope, that is to everyone who like "pretends" they can bench a lot. Not trying to start anything, sorry if I did bro.
 
sorry but i bench 250 so i though you were talking shit to me, sorry man

I work out at work, and still consider myself a newbie, just because I'm still learning. I watch the people here at work and it just kills me. No form and so careless. There's one guy here that takes the full stack on the lat pull down, literally stands up and drops down, leans way back, touches the bar to his chest and gets yanked out of the seat! It's histerical! He does this on everything. I spoke to the trainer and she said that she's sick of telling him he's going to hurt himself, so she figures he'll learn the hard way. I personally can't bench much but I do try to use proper form on everything.
 
bigtom422, I don't know kane, but if you look at what his name is KANE_VICIOUS, I would guess he gets angered easily. (Nothing against you again kane, just saying a point to bigtom) It's like saying you must be big and your name is tom probably? you can learn from people's nick names sometimes. Like lean_n_76er, I can tell he likes working out and is a basketball fan maybe in the phili area because he's representing the 76ers? Or maybe that was when he was born in 76, never know. Just my two cents, and Lean_n_76er, was I right about any of the stuff I said about your name? I am currious.
 
ok, I see what you are saying. and I am not big, i just wanted to sound like it, hehe. I guess I just dont see the point of flying off the handle all the time, whether you have the name vicious or not.

Actually, I got my user name from a self description. I'm lean and 6'4". I got the 76 from a John Wayne movie, a womam called him 76, because...you guessed it, he was 6'4". Pretty simple 'eh.
