Idiots in the Gym

[beerdrinker]

Just remember...

...If you don't see an idiot in the gym, you ARE the idiot.



I'm the idiot in my gym. I've done so many stupid things it ain't even funny...lol

haha, I'm the only idiot in my gym too. It's just me and my power rack. It's nice when there's nobody around to laugh at you.

I've been the idiot in a commercial gym too though, so I'm laughing and cringing at the same time. I was a complete newb and thought that since I was leg pressing all this weight that I was actually strong or something. I went over to what I think is a (hack?) squat machine and tried to do similar weight. I got crushed down into a little ball at the bottom and sat there stuck for a minute before I figured out how to squeeze myself out of there, lol. That was some embarrassing shit right there.

Everyone does stupid shit from time to time. It's the repeat offenders that make me chuckle.

Lol I racked my weight in a squat rack after deadlifting in front of it. I had 405 on the bar and for some reason I thought it was a good idea (maybe from lack of blood to the brain at this point) to unrack one whole side of weights. I did learn that you can unload 3 plates off one side before if flips over, but that last plate is the straw that broke the camels back. It was just luck that there was no one next to me because they may have gotten hurt as the weights went crashing down and the bar went flying.

At the Gold's I used to work out at there was this old ass dude always in short shorts and knee high socks that always seemed to have a little captain in him if you know what I mean. Not a pretty sight. There are definitely a lot of idiots in gyms.

how many did he bang out? 10-12???

lol, did he end up dropping it on himself?

It didn't even move on the rack. lol Guy was pressing face all red for about 20 seconds then gave-up. The guy was a couple of bananas short of a split.


Same guy once chalked both of his hands up to an elbow, and then his cheeks and chin and just stared in the gym mirror few minutes and left.

Same fucker also showered (fully clothed) in the gym locker room.

I'm pretty good overall, but today in between sets of rows I drooled on the floor at one point... I don't really know how it happened but I was bent over adding weight to the barbell, and it just kind of fell out of my mouth lol.. I think I've done this a couple times.

'tank abbot lite', who actually looks more like Larry the cable guy with his sausage-link arms and boobies poking out of his cutoff T, complete with goatee and shaved head and his inbred cousin / brother / lover who looks like he slept rough for a week then came to the gym - these 2 assclowns basically spend the whole workout struggling to bench a plate between them while making LOUD obnoxious comments about the other members... anyone over 200lbs or lifting more than them gets to overhear a very vocal discussion on 'staroids' and how the two clowns do it the old fashioned way, they have yet to try that shit within earshot of me and my 330lb partner probably because he looks like he could pop thier heads off with one hand, but I listened to literally half an hour of full-volume douchery from them the other night.. bizarrely their subject was actually a pretty skinny college kid who was struggling to tag-team bench 315 for half reps.

they annoy me muchly
