Saw a two guys talking about their chest days and one goes "whats the pec minor?" the other guy pointed to the lower part of his pecs and says "theres your pec minor, thats why dips are crap for chest because they only build the minor part of the muscle you wana concentrate on pec MAJOR to get a serious chest!"

Saw a guy today doing dumbell curls in the squat rack. Not sure why he brought over some 25's from across the room just to use inside the rack. After doing a few he throws them onto the floor. Made a thud. He then gets onto the leg press machine and does some bullshit 1/4 leg press. Then gets back into the squat rack and does his dumbell curls. He then leaves with everything still inside the squat rack. Saw him walk out of the gym wearing a "Westcoast Chopper" T-Shirt. It all made sense then.
Then there was this other dude running around the weight area with his shirt off. He had a 45 pound plate in both hands while prancing up and down the hallway. I think he was doing some sort of circuit training shit. Wouldn't have been so bad if he would have kept his shirt on.

The gym where I work out at(24hr Fitness), they have some mats and exercise balls located right by the squat racks. You get these asshats that stretch and do ab work in between the racks, Pisses me off. You have to watch where you walk while adding weight so you don't trip over these idiots. Some are so close to the rack that the weights are being lifted right over their body.
next time you lift off the weight for your max set squats, look down at the ab noob guy and say to yourself out load "right now focus, try not to drop the bar off your back this time..."

i have two characters to share that i ran into this past week.
1st are these dudes that came in all bro'd out trying to psyche each other up. i have no problem with that but when they started their bb curls, the amount of body swing they had going on was fuckin ridiculous. they were swinging so hard it was almost like the weight was standing still in the air while they swung their bodies under it. they were also cranking out reps like it was a foot race.. wtf do they think theyre accomplishing? i got the feeling they were really trying to show off by being loud and obnoxious.
2nd character is one that im sure a lot of you have seen before. its the dude that is wearing ripped jeans, work boots and a trucker hat. i mean, it looks like he came straight from the garage working on his camaro. i just dont get it man, really. you dont have to get all kitted out but at least change out of your street/work clothes.. looking like you cant be bothered does not make you look "cool."

Yea it's the same at my gym. The setup is retarded. The treat the squat rack area as a place to dump all the misc type machines/yoga mats. It's more of a storage room.
Some guy was doing some kind of crunches on the ground right next to me while i was deadlifting. I made it a point to drop the bar after my set. Made a loud thud noise right next to his head. He left, never came back.
Haha! That's awesome. The look on their face will be priceless.
I have a new one from a new gym I'm attending now. It's some kind of guido who works out with sunglasses, jeans and mafioso Andy Garcia like hairstyle, running the db rack for curls and the most unusual "exercise" i've ever seen in my life some kinda of swinging one arm curl straight into a swinging tris kickback, I honestly felt like slapping the bitch ass punk.
Saw a guy I haven't seen for like two months. Jesus christ he's small now. He used to have a big bulked upper body (no legs), now he's just average upperbody and still no legs. I think he's definitely doing steroids or something. i don't know exactly how the drug works, but I bet he's not using it for the time being and shrunk. It's the only explanation...
lol. Does he have big arms atleast?

Agreed!!
Today was a good day for moron watching. I went there during prime time so there were plenty of action.
First guy took up the power rack doing some moronic bullshit. He put a yoga mat on the ground and did crunches inside the rack. Then he took the bar out of the rack and did some sort of jumping standing bench press movement with just the bar. It looked like he was doing the Guido pump dance with a barbell in his hand.
Second guy was squatting in the smith machine. He was wearing jeans, leather business shoes and a silver watch. His leather belt and shoes didn't match and his hair was oily and filthy looking. To top it all off, he was doing 1/4 squats.
Third guy fell asleep on the incline hammer strength machine. He slept through my entire dip routine. Some guy had to wake him up.

Maybe the 3rd guy passed out because all the blood flow went to his biceps and he didnt had enough for his brain to work?

Havn't really seen any moronic things, but saw a few things today that reminded me of this thread.
1. I walk over to the squat rack to do some squats.... Theres a guy lieing underneath the bar doing sit ups/crunches, then gets one of those big bouncy balls (dont know what their called) and starts doing some crazy shit on that, so i left him to it and went on to bench instead, he must have been doing this for about 40 mins, so i didnt even get my squats in today
2. Some guy game in with a bandanna on his head looking like some kind of pirate, went to the bench, benched 60kg for 8 reps, stopped, did another 8, then changed, bar and seat to do incline, why not tilt the chair up ? he continued to do that for another 2 sets, then left.... I see no point in that non trainingness (my word for people who come in, do fuck all then go)
Yeah thats all i got at the moment, will keep you updated

dude just say to him would you mind moving over so I can do squats in this squat rack, theres enough floor space elsewere. Why should his moronic bullshit be the reason for you to fuck up your workout????????????????????

Ahh, i know i know, next time some shit like this happens ill say something, just wasnt feeling to confrontational today >.<
Last night doing squats at the power rack. Two squat racks next to me were empty. I had my gym bag next to the rack and 235lbs on the bar. By the looks of things to me, the bar/rack is being occupied by someone. now remember, two squat racks were not being used. I come back from getting a drink of water to this asshat unracking my weights. I mean, this guy didn't even wait to see if someone was coming back. He just emediately started unloading the bar, WITH two squat racks open, mind you. WTF is wrong with people? This is part of the reason I don't smile at the gym.

ok now am I the only person that gets pissed when someone is in front of me and the mirror while I lift? Am I just vain or does this bother other people. I thought it was some unspoken rule but apparently at my gym, these fags hop right in front of me and the mirror. maybe i'm an ass i dunno
no that annoys me too
a guy at the gym today, doesnt work as a PT but fancies himself as one, always takin teenage kids around showing them shitty things to do and teaching them good form. Iv seen him with a kid about 16 doing sumo style smith squats and stuff like that.
Today he was on the leverage t-bar in jeans showing a kid some exercise, he held onto the handles and did pretty much a squat backwards, but it was a leverage t-bar and he ended up in the position with his glutes all the way back as if sitting in a chair, leant slightly forward and arms out stretched, kinda like the parrallel in a smith squat but with his arms out stretches grasping the handles.
i just looked at him like wtf

No way! Today I did curls in the smith machine and my biceps are like ridiculously swoled bro.
I do all my curls in the smith too. For safety reasons.
lol i said that at 12.55am
i just thought about it and surely the bar would spin round and the hooks would clip on half way through lol.
that is why the only exercise i do in the smith machine is weighted crunches because the bar stays in one position and the smith means i can find the best line of pull that targets my six pact and keep it there for all sets also the bar is stabilised so i dont get blocky obliques because they dont have to support anything i also use straps so my grip doesnt restrict my abz development

Yeah do them in the smith for safety reasons too. Wouldn't want that bar (bar is my max curl) to fall on my hy-oooge dick.

today, a guy was on the pec deck and did about 20 singles for each weight set on the machine. Funniest part was when i was getting a drink of water, he told his friend that he had to get the belt because he was trying to go heavy today.
also, when i went over to do hypers, there was a PT with about 5 women and i asked if i could please work in, and they were like "sure darling".. one lady called my a cutie, so i got the fuck out of there.
in another 2 months, i think this thread will have new shit everyday because it's about that time of year where all the fat people have their new years resolution to cut weight.

Same here. The gyms around here (Ventura County, CA) are all full of yuppies, none of whom have ever been taught how to work out. I have to laugh to myself when I see them doing incomplete movements, like benching without getting the bar lower than a foot from their chest, etc., or using their legs to jumpstart curls, and all kinds of stuff. I built a great weight room at home, and I go do my own thing and I don't have to worry about clock-watchers, or 150-lb, beer-bellied high school student know-it-alls telling me what I'm doing wrong.

I can't believe I am posting in here since I feel like I am the silly one in the gym. I basically use a few machines and run for 15 minutes. Today at one of the machines while I listen somewhat loudly to my ipod this kind of fat but buff guy burps so loud next to me. Then decided to put half the weight on the machine and go super fast using half the motion and at the end just drop it. Which made this loud sound and kept bouncing back and forth. He just kept doing this at least through 5 sets. He wasn't buff, he was a fat buff guy. Why would someone want to bring attention to that?
Side note: I don't know names of machines, but now seeing what a smith machine is, I can't believe people use that thing for half of what is getting posted.

gym moron alert lol
I am saying what I do at the gym. You can leave a gym and exercise too. I just like to run a lot and I can only run so many miles outside of a treadmill. The treadmill gives me a couple more extra miles to run, and you guessed it, I figure just as well use a couple machines while there. I will flex stupidly in front of the mirror tomorrow and check out my hair now.

Saw a couple of kids doing deadlifts last night..... they felt compelled to slam the weights down on the floor as hard as they possibly could for each rep. I turned around to look at how much weight they were using and it was two 35's. And another day a guy was doing cable rows and felt the need to just let go from the top after he's done with every set and just let the weights slam down. Nothing pisses me off more than that.... not even squat rack curlers.
My pet peve is when guys come up to me trying to give me exercise or lifting form advice. I hate it when i am trying to concentrate on a heavy lift, trying to push all other thoughts to the back of my mind
and some prick walks up and says "you're doing that all wrong." And there's me trying to balance a 200kg bench with some guy jabbering into my ear.

I was doing shrugs with the dumbells...a kid walks next to me picks up the 50's, bumps into me knocking me off my rhythm and doesnt even apoligise...on top of that he begins to do flat bench with the 50's and barely bent his elbows then simply drops the weights

I got a couple more stories.
1. I was in the supplement store with my buddy, hes pretty buff, 5'9" 230 lbs. 19" arms at least. skinny dude (130 lbs) puts a bottle of protein on the counter. says to my big buddy "So If I drink this for 6 months I'll be as big as you right?" I start laughing and my buddy stares at him blankly.
2. I was in the weightroom at my school doing cheat curls with 80s. Dude walks up to me and goes"You dont have strong biceps doing cheat curls. I bet you'll never be able to do 55s or 60s with good form" I say" Oh really" I pick up 60s and do 5 reps, perfect form. He just walked away.
3. This was back when I was in high school, still really small. I was in the weightroom with some dudes. One guys fails at 185 bench. I lay down and lift it. He says"You think you're all tough doing that weight. Well my friend at this other school does 495" I would never believe this, but to make it worse, there was a record board just 10 feet away that said the state high school lifting records. Top bench was 415. I pointed this out to the dude and he says"Well my friend just doesnt want to compete and break the record. He already knows hes strong"
LMAO at all of these

1.no, he was serious though. my friend had to explain to him that he wasnt gonna look like that after 6 months of protein
2. i know they are curls. not saying im impressive, just saying the other dude was a moron
I thought they were funny. You can have your own opinion though.
1. would have been funnier to say straight out infront of the GNC staff that supps are a waste of money and that you could sort him out with a bulking diet that would put size quicker on him then any supplement and cost less and then looked to see the reaction from GNC staff
2. subtle brag lol j/k

another funny story
So I'm doing calf raises, on the smith machine cause they dont have a standing calf raise machine at my gym. 405 is on the bar and this dude comes up to me and says"Your not very big, I bet I can do that too" I tell him to hold on and make sure the safety clips are in place. He gets it off the rack, does one 1/4 rep and then slips and falls on his ass, with the weight slamming on the safeties and everyone turns and stares at him.

1. there were 3 girls there today.. probably young high school chicks not that hot. They did everything together. When i went to get a drink, they were on the mats with the exercise balls with pink DBs going bridges on them while they lifted 1 DB over their head, dropped it, picked the other one up and lifted that one lol
2. next guy pissed me off- he was at the rack almost the whole time (good thing he wasn't there when i was there or i woulda been pissed) doing reverse curls and bb curls. He looked fuckin strong too- i would have thought he was going to be throwing around mad weight for deads
3. my friend was there spotting me on CGBP and when i was going for my last few reps, kept trying to spot me, and i had to say no spot during my last few reps- pissed me off.

Okay I try not to be judgemental cause Im not the biggest guy, so obv these tools are doing something right that Im not, and because the I was green once so the younger guys gotta learn somehow, but sometimes the fail is just too much not to make a comment inside your noggin.
This dude I see at the gym constantly makes these noises whilst doing exercises like hes putting 110% into everything he does. These are the noises youd expect from Mariusz Pudz whilst towing a truck down the road, and this guy is doing them whilst performing some of the wierdest 'exotic' movements Ive ever seen in person. At my gym we have quite a few MMA players and Rugby players, so I see sport specific training alot, but based around advanced power programs. The closest thing Ive seen this guy do to a traditional exercise was a front squat, which I see him do once every 3-4 months. The real icing on the cake is the other day though, he was skipping thinking hes a badass cause boxers skip (you could just see look on his face), even though he was skipping like a 12 year old girl, basically knee upping, not like Manny P who bounces on the balls of his feet for patterns. Then this guy walks over to chin up bar, screams for some reason, then jumps into the chin up, drops to his feet, then jumps again another 7 times. After finishing he walks over to smith machine and and does a cross between a bent over row and a clean and press for 1 rep, turns and walks away screaming, then goes back and does it again. There wasnt much weight on so I didnt really see the point in doing the exercise at that wait at all, maybe he just wanted to tone (lmao).
Then as he finishes the gymowner walks pastand I hear him say "Super sets really fuck me up you know"
I was at a bench doing skull crushers on other side of gym, but I heard that as did most of gym, who tried not to laugh.

i felt like a moron last week...
i have been really getting into clean and jerks the last couple months, and ive been really working on my form... catching it low in that front squat position... well, i was doing singles with 175 for a week (not maxes, but single reps focusing on speed and form), and decided to go for a PR because i felt comfortable with my form and catching it real low... 200 attempt (195 previous PR)... blasted up with it.... caught it deep... oh shit... too far back im leaning... lost it... FUCK... fell back with it... didnt get hurt, just embarassed as fuck...

I guess I should post my fails too since Im judging others.
Last week I was leg raises whilst holding a medicine ball between my ankles and mid set I felt that infamous feeling, slowly moving down through my bowled, into my trunk and out into the gym. No I didnt shit myself, but the sound it made I might aswell had have done. One guy on the rowing machine looks over laughing asking me if Ive switched protein powders, I just laughed and continued my set like a real badass, hahahaha.
Not really I fail, but a moment of humility. Most fails are always the same with me though, I always go for that one more rep, fail and the weight slowly descends. I get up, look around embarresed to make sure no one saw and then giggle a bit. Ive since learned the best method is to no look up but to put it back on the racks and move to the next workout like you meant to do that. Haha
*im well in stitches at the moment*

today there was a guy who wanted my shit... he looked indian, and he was on the leg press machine doing 1 leg presses
i was squatting (i am 17, not too big) and not doing too much weight, but when he saw 160 on the bar and me going down past parallel, i saw his eyes pop out of the corner of my eye while breathing between reps... Then, later on when i was done with the rack, he went in and squatted 95 for like 10 reps not even going to parallel. Gave me a look while i was stretching my calves during calf raises like "shit dude, squats really ware us out)-- then when i was doing standing calves, he came and did seated calves, and just stared at me again. When i did chins, he stopped doing seated calves and just watched me doing my chins. I wanted to ask him if he was gay or something or if something i did gave him the wrong message.. but i just got the fuck outa there when i was done. Also, during my OHPs this fucker came under me to get weights off the rack when he could have gone to the other spot or waited when i was done- only my warmup set but fuck i wanted to throw the barbell at his head so badly
i was squatting (i am 17, not too big) and not doing too much weight, but when he saw 160 on the bar and me going down past parallel, i saw his eyes pop out of the corner of my eye while breathing between reps... Then, later on when i was done with the rack, he went in and squatted 95 for like 10 reps not even going to parallel. Gave me a look while i was stretching my calves during calf raises like "shit dude, squats really ware us out)-- then when i was doing standing calves, he came and did seated calves, and just stared at me again. When i did chins, he stopped doing seated calves and just watched me doing my chins. I wanted to ask him if he was gay or something or if something i did gave him the wrong message.. but i just got the fuck outa there when i was done.

i was a moron last time, there was a bar loaded from shrugs on the squat rack and i was deloading it to i could put the bar up on the rack instead of the safety bars, and wasnt thinking straight and unloaded all of one side first so the bar flipped over and was pointing straight upwards with the stack of weights on the floor. but the collar was still on the bar so I couldnt pull the bar out of the stack of weights lol

omg there are so many fucking morons at my gym
today, i was doing seated calves and there were these 3 kids doing incline bench next to me. They just finished like 20 sets on flat BB Bench (there for my first 4 exercises).. One guy who i have seen there only a few times (real strong) was doing hang cleans. He did about 10 in 5-6 seconds outrageously fast with 135 pounds. Tossed the shit around like a feather, but had good form. The 3 kids stopped incline benching, and went up to the guy and asked if he was doing jumping jacks with the barbell. I laughed so hard during my first set of calves i thought i was going to throw up. One kid was also trying to explain to the other that you should never do incline BB without flat BB, and never do flat DB without incline DB because your pecs will be "abnormally unproportional"- idk how he pulled those 2 words out of his ass, but fuck i was almost on the ground laughing. I like to tune myself out with my ipod, and i did up until that point until i saw how funny these kids were.

The thing I hate most is the goofy kid who stares at you for no reason and it makes you uncomfortable. There's this kid, prob maybe 18 or 19. He's in there maybe 3 or 4 a week. When I workout or someone who knows what they are doing works out he watches them. Just stares, eyes lingering for days. It doesn't bother me until he tries to copy what that person is doing and its sorta like really? Is that what you just saw. I don't even know why I'm talking about this kid. I saw him this morn while I'm doin legs. I'm doing 240 with one leg on the seated leg press while the kid has 2 legs with 25 pounds and his legs are completey straight. No range of motion. I also hate the ppl who put themselves in danger. Aka lifting weight u know u shouldn't be touching. Last one is the faces ppl make when lifting. This one guy had this crazy bitter beer face. I hella walkd off bc I was laughing hella hard.

The other day some mom brought here kid in. The kid had never worked out a day in his life and just kept whining how he wanted to leave. The mom told him he had to exercise so he started doing jumping jacks super loud, practically screaming 1,2,3, etc. Then his mom showed him how to do the leg press and he had like 50 pounds on there and eas screaming in agony after every rep.

I'll say it again, all this shit is foreign to me. The first time I did Power Cleans I thought it was made up because I couldn't fathom how people can DO that shit. It feels like you're chucking a barbell at your neck. After I fell over a few times, someone at the gym helped me. Still sucked at them, but it didn't careen to my neck.
For the squat curl, I got hurt on the first one.

It's funny as hell but the poor guy actually did get hurt doing an exercise a prankster made up.
So maybe we should intervene with some of these morons.... lol

^ Simply can't be real.
Plenty of morons to go around in every gym. What gets on my nerves more than anything is when 3or 4 guys train together and the majority of the time their just bullshitting instead training it's like social hour,that irks me more than anything! Secondly, what gets my goat is when these young newbies strut around the gym wearing wife beaters as if they were Coleman or Cutler. In reality they need 50 to 75 lbs to fill the beater out. Lastley,what makes me sick is that one guy that walks around the gym giving advice to everyone,and doesn't have a clue about what he's talking about.

this is more of a fuckin douche bag than a moron, but today as i was leaving the gym i got my shit in a box where i leave it (wallet and keys). as i was looking for my keys, this guy sprayed some windex or something on a towel to wipe up a machine. The shit went completely in my eye, and it stung like hell. I turned around and kind of smiled because it was an accident and i was expecting the guy to apologize, but he just laughed and walked away. I started walking towards him because my eye was hurting like fuck and he didn't even say anything, but i decided it wouldn't be worth it. The guy must have been 50, and this really ticked me off.

I close my eyes and sometimes puff out my cheeks like a starfish when I'm gassed and on one of my last sets for the day. Is that abnormal?
Anyway, today it was the 60 year old man staring at me and following me around the entire gym. What a creeper. Yesterday it was the two guys on the leg press machine for at least 45 minutes solid. Monday it was me. I was doing seated tricep extensions and I got 130 for 6 solid reps, so I figured what the hell, I'll go up 10 lbs. I guess my energy levels really bottomed out quick, because I barely got the db from my waist to rest on my shoulder, and couldn't even budge it off of my shoulder into lock out position. I bet the guy sitting next to me was like WTF. Hey, sometimes you gotta know where you stand.

I have this guy that dresses up like he's an american eagle model.. seriously. He has his AE jacket with the collar popped, and his matching green sweat pants with the stripes going down, and half the time i see him he's fixing his gelled hair in the mirror. And the guys only like 135-140. Just really tiny. And he's doing the stupidest damn lifts for himself like preacher curl and shit when he needs to just start doing bench deadlifts etc. I wanna introduce him to some mass information like this site, but don't...

I'd like to call this man the town cryer. He walks around the gym getting close to everyone and trying to start up conversations. He lets out the most annoying high pitched hyena laugh. Every 10 minutes he leaves us alone and does a strong man lift. It wouldn't be bad but the gym is small comprised of a two car garage for strongman and leg machines and a main room of only 25 by 30 feet.

here's a few i noticed recently;
so theres this dude who works out @ my gym. He's 23 and looks strong as fuck and says doing deads and squats get you big, but the dude has no idea how to lift with good form on any lift besides his precious cables. After 2 heavy sets of deads, i was warming up for front squats, and kind of just did my last 2 reps with not as great form and i realized it was off. I was only using 65 pounds. After my first warmup set, dude comes in and puts on 2 clamps and starts giving me a crash course on front squatting. This guy has never dont a front squat in his life, his heels are coming up off the ground, his range of motion is above parallel, and to top it off he has no idea where to put the bar. I wanted to tell him everything he did wrong, but he has helped me with some other stuff like skull crushers and a cable exercise lol--- i can do all the big movements, just not the iso's
Also, i don't care if you workout in a sleeveless shirt and look at your muscles from time to time when you lift, but please don't look at your biceps like they're angelina jolie, especially when you're weak as fuck and curls are the staple of your workout.
To those dudes who sweat a lot, please make arrangements to wipe off whatever equipment you're using in the future. There was a guy probly mid 60s benching before me, and he sweat more than a 500 pound guy in a sauna. The stench of his sweat was engraved into the bench afterwards, so i took the libery of cleaning it up.
If you're going to spot someone, please fucking spot them and don't start talking to one of your friends or the hot chick on the tredmill. Just wait until i am done lol. Both happened before with 2 different spotters.
Also, if you don't know how to do a lift, don't take the innitiative to help someone who also doesn't know how to do the lift. Today, this kid was trying to back squat and someone came to help him. He had him wear the stupid thing that supports your back, and the kid's posture was shit and his heels didn't stay on the ground. At least he was squatting below parallel- i almost went over to help, but then i realized that this old guy was paid to train him by the kids dad

I am studying in Spain right now and there is wayyyyy too much weird stuff that happens at the gym I go to. There is one guy that holds his shirt up with his teeth on every exercise to show his abs, 2 guys that spot eachother on bench by holding eachothers knees down, a guy that lifts in nothing but a puffy vest and short spandex shorts. We might end up getting kicked out of the gym for cleaning and people freak out everytime we do them. We arent allowed to use weights for abs, pullups, or dips.

A mass of 4-5 high school aged kids come in tonight, from the looks of it they train at the local MMA facility. Nothing against MMA or them as martial artists, but theyre lifting habits were annoying as hell. Throwing medicine balls, full body workouts with ten pound dumbbells and sloppy form, swarming from one area of the gym to another with some mindless routine. At some point one of them was standing on a flat bench performing deadlifts as fast as he could with 10 pound DB's...
I understand circuit training for the martial arts, hell I've done it....but this was bullshit.

ahh, no wonder discos and culture club are still popular over there. Euros
I wonder if you go to the same gym I go to. There's always this fat spanish kid, has to be in high school, always doing curls at the squat rack. I don't usually care as long as no one wants to do squats, but this kid swings his arms and arches his back like a gymnast wannabe to get these light a$$ weights up...ridiculous!

Some dude put 10s on the barbell and was like rolling them on the ground, I guess at a stretch or ab workout idk. Well anyways that wasn't the problem, the thing that pissed me off was that he was rolling under my bench and making it hard for me to lean over him to throw more 45s on the bar. Not to mention if for some reason I couldn't get the weight back up I would be dumping the bar onto him.

BB Rollouts for abs? lol though- douche bag doing it by you benching.
Always! Even the "trainers" do it with their clients. Have to step over them, around them, watch out for their kicks just to load the bar.

Well I was at the Gym one time and this dude is rushing me off the bench. He was about 25 years, 180 5'8" 16-20 BF... So, I finish as fast as I can to give him the flat bench. He gets on the bench.. grabs a 45 plate.. I'm thinking what the hell is he gonna do. Lies down, puts the 45 on his forehead and starts doing neck crunches... Literally.. just moving his head up and down.. He does about 5-6 gets up from the bench with his huge ego, face all red.. I couldn't stop laughing LMAO
This one is not funny its about cocky bastards..
I hate cocky bastards at the gym.. One time me and my buddy were using the Universal Fly Machine, doing 3 sets of 8. We finished 2 sets, and went to the water fountain to get a drink. This cocky bastard goes over to our machine, takes the towels off from the seats, throws them on the floor and starts using the machine. My buddy and I came and were like WTF.. He started convincing us that he was using it first.. What a douche bag..

I'm in no way a pro bodybuilder or squatter or anything but I know that this guy was doing nothing.. He had his pen and paper out, sitting in the power rack, and he was doing squats. He would lift the bar up, and bend down, and sit on the bench then get back up and write something down, and do this over and over again. If he was doing some intense form of squats please tell me because I thought that was the dumbest thing I ever saw.
Then there's this guy who my friends actually have a problem with because he tried to rape this guy's girlfriend and then he went and told the guy that he had sex with her. anyways he goes onto every machine and does like 3 reps and then goes and finds another machine and does another 3 reps and then he's at the mirror checking out his tiny muscles.
then you have all those kids from my school, who don't know what they're doing, i'm like the only teenager that I know that is actually dedicated to this stuff.

some people at school were talking about the gym they go to today (doesnt even have a squat rack or power rack) and one guy said something along the lines of "if your working out to build muscle you should always train in the morning cause if u train before bed when your asleep and the muscle just turns to fat"

Lol I got a good school one too:
So the other day I was sitting in class and some sophomores were talking about creatine. One of them us like: "Yea that stuff will get you jacked but it is so bad for you, after all it is a chemical and all." Then they were talking for like a minute about how it is a legit legal steroid and it kills your body and liver and all that, and people shouldn't use it. The conversation was wrapped up when one of them said "Hey you must use creatine huh" to one of the football players, and he said no does it look like I use creatine? I'd be HUGE!

wow i feel compelled to tell a school one
In gym we have to workout, and this sophomore chick who plays soccer always does ab workouts with her friends and today one of my buddies joined them (i didn't because i am lifted today). She does 10 situps, and 10 of another ab exercise, takes a 1 minute break and then does the same thing and keeps switching the order becuase it "confuses your abs".... haha tblock.
