gym shoot the sh*t thread

[jenscats5]

I just joined a new gym.....I like the wide variety of equipment (ie hack squat) cuz the old gym didn't have that....but NO ONE EVER puts the plates back & the DBs are always mismatched -- in between sets I rearrange them, cuz I'm anal I guess, but I can't stand that they are mixed up....

And I don't think anyone has ever seen a woman deadlift till they saw me do it the other day -- felt like I was on TV. Hey, you guys might want to add that to your ever ongoing arm workouts.....oh wait....

Everytime I mention working out as a hobby to a guy, the response is always "what do you bench"

WHen I tell them I don't bench they usually get disappointed. Dudes annoy me sometimes.

CasualBB, I feel your pain.
Q: "What do you bench?"
A: "Dunno, around 300."
Q: "You don't know what you bench?"
A: "No but I deadlift 500."
Q: "You? You don't know what you bench?"

Farts are my best friend:
Q: "Can I work in?"
A: "Sure," as I let one go quitely.
Q: "Can you just let me know when you are done?"

Two really skinny guys in gym yesturday, standing infront of mirror. One was muscleing down whilst the other one did 30reps of 20kgs in probably the funniest form of a barbell curl I will ever see. In between sets, the guy goes
'yer, sets don't work for me I mean they work on my chest but not on my arms', to which his friend replies

'I know, I just don't grow when I do sets, I just go with the pain' before walking over a doing his 3rd set of 30s.

At the end of the set, his friend goes 'pretty damn impressive man, yeah 30 reps, wow.' To which Mr Olympia replies 'well my arms are big because I used to box, my biceps have always been really good, its just my legs are the problem' before dancing around pretending to spar with an invisable man

Certainly gave me something to watch between sets.

this question is for casual or someone with better knowledge about physiology than myself..(i have none) lol

anyway guy laying on a decline bench so his head is bove his feet...raise legs up and have someone hrow your feet down hard as you resist..im not talking about a little tap down im talking a hard throw where it looks to bethe spine is being contorted because of the arch in the low back? bear in mind this is being done by a personal trainer at my gym which jus reaffirms to me that it is a very bad move..lol

am i wrong or is this the best ab exercise ever?

 

[casualbb]

bleh, sounds like a crappy leg raise. I see dudes doing this

Unless you're doing a sport where you need explosive leg-raise power, it's pointless

Stupid shit I see in the gym.

Almost noone does squats or deadlifts of any kind, but that's to be expected.

And even when they do actually do them it's rarely over 225lbs and almost always a half squat and probably closer to a quarter squat.

In fact, I am actually surprised when I see someone doing squats with at least a little weight and using good form. Only the small group of powerlifters in my gym and myself can be counted on hitting squats and deads as hard or harder than any other exercise lol.

Little guys that can maybe rep 225 on bench and think they are johhny dangerous, but couldn't do a real squat with that weight to save their life and let's not even go into deads again.

Guys practically heaving their weights when lifting. I can understand if all you care about is getting the weight from point A to point B and you are trying to develope maximum strength(and you can already lift a decent amount) and practically yank your rows or something, but otherwise, quit it.

Girls using too little weights. I'm talking 5lbs dumbells for DB bench. Gimme a bREAK. You press more weight doing girl style pushups than those puny things.

These 2 average sized guys that don't even look like they lift weights in wife beaters standing side by side in front of the mirror in front of the water fountain sizing each up and seeing who has the better body. "My pecs are bigger than yours." "Oh ya, well my arms are bigger than yours." Talk about the gaynezz.

I'm getting brain overload. Too much too list.
