The #1 thing you see people doing wrong in the gym is??????

[Burner02]

i agree about the throwing weights on the ground after you finish... why you gotta throw em down for??? just get back up and rerack the damn things... either ur too lazy to do it or the weights are too heavy for you meaning you shouldnt use the weights...are you gonna pay for the broken weights???

option #3: wanna try and look cool..the tossing of the weights is often preceded w/ loud yelling...

 

[Burner02]

Not a fight Brutus, just a discussion. I don't like to fight I don't see the point.

My only point from my above post was I'm at the gym to workout and while there certainly are a lot of boneheads doing things wrong, I could care less. Outside influences will not affect my workout. That's the great thing about a loud MP3 player.

well...sometimes..you see people doing things that are so screwed up....you almost have to watch...
with the WTF??????? are you doing??? look.

yeah some ppl wanna show others that they are lifting heavy weights and then yell ...same as the incredible hulk.....actually ending up with the dumbbells broken....

lock there knees on leg press.

I saw a guy doing Bench press on the smith machine a week ago. He only had one hand though. And a stub at the end of his left hand. That's understandable lol

Nope, no excuse. He can use a dumbbell. When I subluxed my shoulder I took a week off then went to the gym wearing a sling doing on handed pressing and pulling movements.

Wait. How can you work your full chest with only one hand?

lock there knees on leg press.

Why do you think that?

 

[Favre]

People bouncing the bar off their chest while benching.

I couldn't. However, there is a carryover effect if you only work one appendage. It allows you to bounce back quicker once you are able to train the "good arm" again. Eventually I added in light weights for the other arm while continuing my rehabilitation work and slowly ramped the weights up as shoulder stability and pain free ROM increased.

some kids in my school i dont know if they are right or wrong- but they said if u lock ur knees u get water in them- lol i dont care though cause i dont do leg press

I can see it puts stress on the knees but how is this any different from locking out on a squat?

 

[Doublebase]

Bicep curls on the squat rack.

I had a knee surgery and when I was in rehab, the doctor told me to never lock my knees out when doing leg press. he said it in a way that questioning him never even entered my mind!

[Detroit_4_Life]

And of course lifting their pelvis and lower back up 6 inches off the bench while bench pressing

 

[ExiledX66]

[SuppAddict]

people "reserving equipment.

some guy had his shirt on a benchpress, water bottle&pad on the power rack, towel & cleaner on preacher curl, while he was using the incline bench

i moved his shit from the power rack and he got pissed and we had a huge argument over it

 

[KelJu]

I agree, they can do what they want.....just do not do curls in the squat rack when I need it.

Damn asshole pussies curling on the only squart rack in my gym.

Grrrrrrrrrr

 

[lucifuge]

i think the worst would be the 'reserving equipment' thing... I've gotten into a couple arguments over that one...I've never understood the curling in the squat rack either

 

[Vlar]

yup, when there is only one rack available -- use it for what its intended for or don't use it at all!!

That is bullshit, he is def. in the wrong. You payed just as much money to use the equipment as he did.
