Trying workout out at 5:00 PM. :no: NEWBIE HELL.
Click to expand...

I've heard stories about the 4-8 pm crowd at the gym where I go. Newbies or not, it's a zoo. I'm very glad my schedule allows me to go early in the morning. If I can't make it then, I've got enough stuff at home to get in some kind of a workout.
 
I usually go there about 11:00 - 12:00. I usually have the whole weights section to myself, because it's only me and another couple of people on the free-weights/weight machines.
Then usually a few people doing cardio.


*used the little ABC check button at the top*
 
This one goes out to the 4-5 people doing yoga, full fledged yoga routines in the stretching/core area...

WE HAVE A FREEKING YOGA ROOM PEOPLE, AND I NEED TO DO MY MYOFASCIAL FOAM ROLLING MUSCLE FIBER RELEASE MUTHERF@(*$(*&#@

Ok, sorry, but these women piss me off, (the 2 guys too) and it's almost every morning, GRRR.
 
this isnt a bad thing, though it entertains me every time. im training a newbie client, demo a lat pulldown, and they get on the machine backwards. Happened probably 7 times now, have to try and stop myself from laughing as they nestle back onto the pads that hold your knees down.

or the guy that sat on the lying chest press hammer strength, also facing the wrong way, and tried to pull the handles up by his sides.... um.....can I show you another way to use that one?......
 
This morning was all about the Show Off Guy. Normally trying to impress his girlfriend or some cute girl who happens to be stretching, Show Off Guy will endeavour to do a really tricky exercise or lift way too much weight with terrible form.

This morning, Show Off Guy was attempting to stand on a Swiss Ball with no support by just climbing onto it in front of his girlfriend. After trying for about five minutes, he got on, promptly slipped and fell quite badly. Nursing his bruised ego and ass, Show Off Guy claimed that the balls weren't inflated properly and stalked away with his girlfriend in tow.

just cut it short so it don't make the page 2 big but...
i was just thinking, what possesses someone to do that kind of thing, i mean... wheres the logic behind it? look how good i am, i can balance on a ball... *trys and fails* so he trys again? if he cant do it first time round, its obvious its for a good reason.

what an arse. lol.

here's something that completely confused me the other day:
This older guy, probably around 45 came in the gym and grabbed the 10lb dumbells, then did 15 sit ups on a decline bench and threw a punch with each dumbell at the top of each rep. He finished that and then was on his hands and knees doing 'vacuums' (thats what he called them, yeah, I asked) but he actually looked like he was about to vomit for about 2 minutes then he got up and left. He was in and out before 5 minutes had passed.

I would've found a nail and popped it while he was on it.:)
 
I'm on the treadmill and this potbellied doofus comes and gets on the one next to me running the speed at what looked 90%. A hottie walks by and he starts throwing punches into the air. I couldve sworn I heard the Rocky theme blaring through his earphones. Well, he's doing this every time the girl passes by. All of a sudden he throws a combo punch, slips on his feet and his head bangs into the console. I laugh my ass off, and he just stared at me. I look at the girl and she's beet red with laughter.

We had the 'I'm a power power power lifter' in the gym yesterday. Loaded the bar with 50kg each side, did 8 deadlifts with terrible form on each, and at the end of every rep, he would drop the bar on to the floor. The bang from each drop was massive!

Normally you can say something, but he looked like a nutter so I left him to it.
 
Yeah, I've been weak about training this past month so everyone who see's me will think that I'm one the the new year newbies. I'll just have to remember my gym etiquette, or I'll be reading about me on this thread next weekend.
But there are some real idiots at my place, to be lumped in the ame group as them would be so embarrassing!
 
wow, I worked out in school with like 50 highschool kids, and I didnt see any of this, except for the girls just sitting on the equipment and talking

Classic. I thought that only happened in movies and commercials! :roflmao:
 
This is the greatest thread on any forum ever.
 
Does anyone get those guys who seem to walk as close to you as possible when you are lifting or loading the weights even though there is clearly enough space to not get so close? im not sure if they are trying to intimidate you or what but it gets annoying..
 
I got one...How about the guys that always bench or do curls. I mean, do these people not realize they have a lower body as well?

Also, the guys that try to curl more than they can handle. I see people lifting their feet off the ground trying to curl the weight they have in their arms.

Why do people not focus on quality workouts?

Because they don't know what they're doing.

And the ladies love seeing some dude lurch all around with too much weight, maybe doing 20% range of motion. Seriously, chicks dig it. Lurching = instant poon.
 
We have this looney toon that comes into the gym once a week, sits on various machines, closes his eyes and waves his hands like he's casting a spell on them

I have never seen him lift a weight or do a rep. He does this for about a half hour then leaves.

The gym doesnt seem to care as long as he pays his membership fees

The irony of it is the guy is in pretty good shape
