Goofy things you see in the gym..

[brogers]

I keep seeing this huge guy do squats for 4 sets and then go right over and do leg extensions. Im like "Dude, your a moron."

Huh?

There are two guys at my gym who are trying to lift way way too much. The other night they were doing db curls 90lb on each arm. This guys had this buddy helping him to pick up the db's. Form was complete shit and each rep was an assisted one. And this is everyday they be doing the same crap with HUGE amount of weights. It can't believe they can grow with such overtraining, unless they are...Another time they were doing preachers curls with 190lb and when they spot each other, the spotter does 90% of the lifts.

What do they have for legs? Well, they aint got none. Its a sad sight.

Its dangerous and stupid. I can't imagine no one has ever told them anything.

I went into the sauna in my gym one time and there was a fella (mid 40's) in there wearing a pair of black shoes, jeans, belt and white shirt which was buttoned up.He looked like hed been dragged through a ditch for the last few days and his shirt was clingin to his skin.He stayed in til I left but when he went out to the locker room he just put a big jacket on and left.Couldnt really figure it out....

They probably have been told but some people just don't listen, some even get offended.

 

[StevieMac]

Yeah....seen that "naked guy".....who puts the towel over their shoulder instead of around their waist? I understand we are all guys, but have some class!
I hate the guys who give attitude if you ask for a spot. Hey, it only takes a minute, and we should all help each other with spots for safety.
I too hate the chicks that do 400 reps of no weight. They think if they add weight they will get too huge.....HELLO! Its not gonna happen. Push the weight up girls and do 15 to 20 reps or so. You'll get faster results and you won't get HUGE. Trust me.
And of course we all hate Mr. No Form, who lifts obscene amounts of weight with no range of motion, terrible form, etc. Hey buddy, this ain't a contest, its a gym.
I also don't like guys that grunt REALLY loud. A little here in there is ok, and even sometimes necessary, but those few that yell on every rep so the whole gym hears them? SHUT UP!

 

[seven11]

u no what i hate the most in the gym?.... those guys that spit in the water fountain
man when i see that shit in there i lose my concetration

 

[CursedOne]

a couple of us have mentioned it, but i hate it when someone asks me for advice and then they preface it with ' . . but i dont want to get real big or nothin . .'
now i always reply, ' man if you go do this for a week or month and get all huge come back and tell me about it so i can do it just like you did'

You're kidding, right?

So, let me see if I follow you: you find a huge guy who has the stamina to superset squats with leg extension and call him a moron?

You're a special kind of dumb fuck.

 

[Dante]

lol. i need to know, why would he be a moron CancerNV?

That has to be a typo.

I hate people who don't put their plates back on the rack .

Today, there was this guy. Pretty sure he was gay. Tight white shorts, semi see-through singlet top, body of a cyclilst (no offense), you get the picture. Anyway he was doing smith machine squats and had 3 large plates on each side. I was watching out of the corner of my eye (no not AT him but what he thought he was going to do with that much weight) as he proceeded to do wide stance, knees out type squats going down about 6 inches. Between sets he was walking around shaking his legs, flexing in the mirror and so on.

Anyway, I see him finish and move over to the leg press, and I go up to the smith cause I wanted to do my close grips. I see the plates are still on there so I go ask him if he's finished. He says yes, with no apology or motioning to help remove his plates. DICKHEAD!!!

Later, I saw him in the dumbell room in front of the mirrors. These guys crack me up, you know, how you know they're checking themselves out, sort of felxing and shaking their arms and shit. Like they think they're friggin hot and the biggest guy in there.........pfffff........ Got news for him. Now I have nothing against some posing/flexing, but you can tell if the guy's doing it as a motivation thing or post workout high, as opposed to knowing that the first thing he does when he gets out of there is make love to himself.

last night i was doing leg ext. and in front of me were the cables. this guy was doing cable crossovers, he had his head cocked to one side and i thought he had too much weight or something but the bastard was on his cell phone. i laughed my ass off.

 

[FishOrCutBait]

this kid comes in the gym, right, hes decked out in a sweatshirt, sunglasses, baggy blue jeans, and snow gloves?? He only puts the gloves on when he lifts... weeeeird....

People in my gym are notorious for taking a shit while talking on their cell phones. It's disgusting. Especially when they're letting farts rip while chatting away.

How about the 'nude guy' in the locker room.. anyone else have weird dudes like this at their gym? ... These guys just seem to enjoy hanging out naked in the locker room. Even when I am at home, I wear a towel if I am drying my hair in bathroom - I dunno why, I just do.. but these 'nude guys' are always running around in the locker room naked and trying talk to people. It's annoying.

And they are always OLD AS HELL...

my pet peeve is when people ask me questions in the middle of my set.... like... will you come spot me... WTF hell no cant you see im in the middle of something.. or when people seem to be following me around doing every workout i do.. one day this kid did that and he got on the military press after me and some how managed to get it off the rack and it fell straight in his lap.. ... he went home after that..

.. awe man, that was a good laugh

 

[AirCartman]

This has been the most entertaining thread i've ever read on this site. Maybe it's because I minor in sociology.. Well since i've been going at my college gym some pet peeves:
1)Monkeys- people who watch you, and all of a sudden are doing the same excercise you are
2)Punks who socialize so much and don't get moving when you are clearly waiting for a machine
3)Very Pushy People who rush in to get a quick warm up set on something(like Lat Pull Down)
4)Smelly dudes, enough said
5)People who stare at you when your working out..

 

[Rocco32]

You're a special kind of dumb fuck.

That is awesome.

 

[MyK]

I think most of the pet peves have been listed. the stinkers, old wang, bad form etc. one that you guys have missed is "the excessive grunter". we all know a quiet grunt on the last couple of reps of a heavy set is quite exceptable but when peeps scream out on every rep of every set it just kills ur concentration.

at my old gym there was this guy who used to moan like he was getting ufcked in the ass. it would always happen in the middle of my sets too, al of a sudden Id hear oohhh aaahhh oooohh aahhhh, and it would ruin my set. half the guys in the gym would bust out laughun the other half would get real pissed.

Some old guy walked into the gym with boxers,thats right boxers, and does some skull crushers for like 5minutes before leaving.

Little did you know he was a professional boxer, and that's what they train in...
And he was running a circuit w/ roadwork...

After he left he ran two miles, came back in, and did rainbow presses for
five minutes, left again ran two miles, and then came back and did
multi-plane lunges for five minutes, Etc, Etc, Etc...

Haven't you seen bkc's leg workout?

There was this guy in my old gym that worked out with a football mouth guard....I thought that was funny as hell....he would even talk with it in....plus he had one of the worst builds in the gym.

 

[mrguy]

Arnold didn't use perfect form all the time either. Watch some old videos of him doing real heavy dumb bell curls.

I would of liked to been there to see the dude who walked up to Arnold and said his form sucked and tried to give him tips

I had a nervous breakdown two years ago...

During the buildup to it, I was sawing away my teeth,
grinding them from stress

I actually thought of using one of those
(I had one of the new ones for Boxing)
I brought it with me in my bag, but never remembered to wear it
(And I do have the worst build in my gym) ...

No comment.

I had to have three root-canals, because I had destroyed
the nerves inside those teeth from moving and grinding them so much

I did wear the mouthpiece to bed for a while...

But, I didn't sleep much in those days...
