some hilarious stuff....
the other day i saw this same guy i mentioned earlier (the guy who wears the "i love medical transcription" t-shirt). so i've just finished a set of chinups and i turn around and i see this guy in the smith machine. he'd put the bar up real high and he was actually hanging upside down with his knees folded around the bar.... weird :-o

Dude no way long arm guys can bench more. They have to push the weight much further. I usually see short guys benching more than taller guys.

There really needs to be a correlation scale for beginners regarding machine bench press and actual free weight bench press. This high school kid worked up to 300 lbs. on the nautilus bench and decided to try it with free weights. He put 295 on the bar and told me he wanted to get 3-4 reps and a negative. Right after lift off...boom, right on his chest. I had to do one hell of an upright row.
And I'm sure every gym has the headphones guy who doesn't realize he's singing to himself out loud....

i love it when gay guys wear womens cheer shorts to the gym..they look so cool.. then another thing i love is when i leave my gym bag towel keys etc at a machine or bench and i come back from getting a drink of water and some motherfucker is using the machine.. and i just sit there and stare at them till they are done.. then they go 'oh you were using that' i dont respond and proceed with my workout..

Today I saw a guy absolutely destroying his biceps, but not in the good way. I was in there, and after my whole routine, which was 45 minutes, he was still diong curls. When I came in he was doing preachers, i saw him do 5 sets of those after i got there. Then he did standing BB Curls, 5 more sets, THEN 5 sets of standing DB curls. When I was leaving he was flexing in the mirror and smiling. I was smiling as well, knowing how much of an idiot he is.

Thanks for sharing this thread in your log buns... Awesome. I have been cracking up all morning taking breaks reading this. I love the ka ka ka one also... I could just imagine standing there thinking who let the crow in?*Bunny* said:LMFAO .... I LOVE this thread ...
You guys keep 'em coming
Nothing beats my shower room chick though. I totally sat my water bottle on the bench (OPEN) turned around to lock my locker and this ethnic hairy chick comes walking out of the shower throws her towel down and sits on my water bottle!!!!

Shameless plug... Vote for Pedro.
Two incidents
1) Some guy in my apartment complex: Keep in mind he's about 6'0 190lbs or so.
He comes in with his buddy wearing gloves, lays down to bench.
Anyway after their brief warmup, all I hear is Ahhhhhhh f****ck, get it, get it, yeaaaaaaaaahh!!!! I turn around like wtf was that only to find out this guy is benching with 35lbs on both sides. Thats right, this big dude is screaming over 70lbs.
----
2) The weight rapper:
I see him all the time and he's spotted me a few time. He raps to every song that plays on his IPOD from 50 cent back to Run DMC. This guy sucks cuz he will not shut up and does not know his surroundings. The people in the gym will look @ him then look at me like i'm supposed to say something because they saw me speak to him but all I can do is shrug my shoulders and say "I dunno". But he works out like a normal person so I guess it's okay.

Today there was some guy bustin a nut doing preacher curls, I don't know if he and his bud were doing negatives or drop sets or 21's or whatever but obviously he was pushing it and I heard him scream at himself 'C'mon you FAT FUCK!' to help eek out that last shocker of a rep.

90% of the people at my gym are these type of people. I never see them doing anything but chest and bies, and every once in a while they will do shoulder press on the smith machine of course.
And since they are all juiced up they still get big on their shitty ass program. The funny thing is when they go off a cycle they literally SHRINK to 1/3 the size and are weak as shit.

my pet peeve: people who bench and slam the bar off their chest with about 50 more lbs then they can handle with good form then arch their ass off the seat to get it the rest of the way up and their spotters is like "you got it bro u got it!!!!!" also people that go on the treadmill naked and pee everywhere while running. and poop.

I saw some PT today spotting his client on the leg press - 1 plate per side, pulling on the thing that holds the plate and telling him to push on his knees with his hands and yelling 'armpit! armpit!' at him, whatever the hell that means. And then he went up to 2 plates
I'm particularly hard on this guy because he's the one that told my wife that full squatting was bad and 'she wouldn't have any knees in 10 years' - and my wife's squat form is like Guinness'

here's a good one from a few years ago.
there was this one annoying guy in the gym who'd all always be making very audible cocky wise guy cracks at some of the monsters. no one really paid much attention by and large probably coz he was one skinny mother fucker. so once he asks me to spot him on the bench and i agreed. so he unracks what would have been close to his max and struggles thro 3 reps on his own. so he mumbles to me to help him get it back in the rack coz he can't take any more and i psyche him up with " come on u can do another one". so he lets the bar down the 4th time and at that point i stand back and watch the fun. the bar wasn't moving at all and he starts to get frantic. then he struggles some more, sees it isn't going anywhere rests it on his chest to try another heave. so on his second attempt it still isn't budging and he starts to scream for help. for a good 30 seconds some of the other guys just put down whatever they were doing and snickered. finally the owner comes running and helps the bar off his chest and then yells at him for lifting a weight he couldn't handle!
today i saw these 2 scrawny assholes walk in and proceed to do flat bench (the last time i saw them (2 days ago).... yep you guessed it - they did flat bench and a whole lot of chest exercises. so these guys get in a few warm up sets and then they are up to 175. one guy lies down on the bench and then the other guy actually stands over him to spot - he didn't stand behind the bench he was standing with his crotch over his friend. so they unrack the weight and it falls right down on the bencher's chest. then the spotter uses all his might and manages to get it right up with a little help from the bencher. so they managed a few reps till lockout like this. then they reverse roles and repeat the whole thing. next, they jump straight to 220 and i'm like WTF. then, it turns out they had another scrawny friend (who was curling obviously) and they call this guy. so the 3rd guy stands behind the bench and the other guy stands over his partner and the 2 guys unrack and move the bar up & down for a few reps with a little feather touch from the dick lying down! and then they again reverse roles and repeat.... makes you wonder who the spotter was....!!!!
oh ya, then they get up and give me the "i own you" look....

I see this one guy every few months doing barbell rows and his glasses fall off halfway through his set. This happened 2 or 3 times now. He gets this confused look on his face and doesn't know whether to stop and pick them up or continue doing his set.
Same guy does lat pulldowns and leans all the way back like he's doing a row slamming the plate stack at every rep.

So you offer to spot this tool, talk him into doing one more rep on a weight that is too heavy for him and then watch him struggle for air as the bar is on his chest....
You sir, are an asshole!
I love it, to funny!
Did he say anything to you after the owner came to the rescue?

I've seen some dumb shit. Worst thing I've ever seen though happened in the locker room. Some fuckface brought his daughter into the locker room apparently to get something out of his locker. She was probably 8-10 years old. He told her, "Don't look." There she was in the midst of guys with their cocks hangin out, fatties in the gang shower, shit this girl should not have been seeing, but worst of all, it was a total lack of respect for us guys in there nude on the part of the father. I can't believe this Dad would do that. It pissed us all off.
It's better being a woman in the gym because you have these guys that think they know everything about lifting yet their body doesn't change over 5-10-15 years using all this great knowledge they have.
So while doing a spider curl one day using the preacher curl bench from the other side, some beefcake guy walks over laughing and tells me in his uptmost loud voice and laughing,"Do you know you are using that bench wrong, it's a preacher curl bench and you are supposed to use one of these (ez-bar) and sit on the seat on the other side?" As he was laughing I began to laugh out loud and said,"Well if I was doing preacher curls now I would probably be sitting there on that seat with an EZ-BAR curling 75 pounds, but since I'm doing a s-p-i-d-e-r curl there is no need for that now is there!" Then I walk by him laughing as the guys around begin to laugh at him, and continue over to my trainer who I retold the story to out loud so the whole gym could look at him and he turned bright red. Needless to say I have only seen him once in the past 6 months... I wonder why?! Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut especially if you are talking to a redhead in the gym!

this is actually another funny story i saw once at the gym. this one guy was going to the bathroom (poop) right next to me when i was doing incline curls. i looked at him and i was like "that stinks" and he did a head stand. everyone thought it was really strange. then he put a plate on the t bar row and was pullin it real fast with one arm and with the other hand was pretendin he was fuckin a broad and was slappin her ass.

Man, everyone knows that you need high glycemic carbs after your workout. He must have mixed his hydrolyzed whey protein right into the Coke. The carbonation will give it super-fast delivery and ultimate absorption qualities.
Ok. What scares me is that the unscrupulous supplement companies could actually pull this one off...
Crap. What scares me even more is that this could be a serendipitous moment, and I will be responsible for the next wave in post-workout supplementation. Be afraid.

The gym I goto now has a guy that is a double whammy. EVERYDAY I'm there(for cardio or lifting, usually 5 days a week) he is working his WHOLE body. He has a very large gut and usually has like 3 muscle milks while there(always leaves the empty cartons laying around) not only that he is always there before I get there and after I leave because he is a serious TALKER. he tries to talk to everyone there(except me with my headphones on). Today I saw him trying to carry on a conversation with a dude on the flat bench doing bench press with dumbbells with a pretty good amount of weight. I would have been PISSED if that were me.

How about this. I'm going to start taking my camera to get a good picture.
50 yo guy.
Bald horseshoe hair.
He wears:
a rebel flag full bandana,
Bono from U2 sunglasses (yes while he works out),
super dark bushy mustache,
dirty yellow stained wife beater,
Gold medalion hanging from his 14 inch neck onto his super pot belly,
bicycle shorts (the super "hey look at my dick" tights ones),
Fanny pack holding his tape player,
Almost knee high socks,
and Kicks from the 80s.
I'm not joking one bit. He was there.

My GF told me about her gym on Wed night:
About 8 ghetto type guys we crowded around the smith machine with one of the instructors and a little guy - all wrapped up in a belt and knee wraps. They were al screaming and shouting as the little guy unlocked the bar and proceeded to do 5 half reps with all the weight plates in the gym. The guy nearly fell out of the smith after locking out and screamed "OH fuck!! Yeah!!! FUUUCCKKK!"
The guy on the bike next to my GF leaned over and said "Pretty amazing, huh?"
When she told him that her boyfriend could easily do that weight with no smith for about 20 reps he looked at her like she was crazy.
Oh and the weight on the bar - about 300lbs...

I was watching 2 guys in their 40's doing bench press yesterday between my sets. White knee socks with stripes around the top, green little shorts, and a white t-shirt with brown under arm stains, and a sweat band. The guy getting ready to lift can barely do 25 pound DB chest press because I see him. He gets this stupid cheesy expression on his face when I do 45's. Well here he has his spotter and he's getting ready for take-off one huge grunt and the spotter pretty much carries the weight for him up "ONE" time and then he sets it back down and the guy on the bench said,"Man I'm getting a lot stronger I never was able to do that before!" He's looking at me like, "Yeah I'm the man, you want some of this don't you!" What an Idiot....
Ohh and the weight was only 185 .....

I am probably the one that people go home and talk about.
Doing all out sprints on the treadmill at max mph ... sure I sound like a frickin elephant but I get in my intervals.
The one doing reverse Plyo Kickback sprints up stairs on the track as fast as I can ... I'm sure they're waiting for me to smack into the wall, but I don't.
The one who people wanna strangle b/c I get to the gym at 5 am wide awake with a huge smile because I am happy to be there. Not that it's much, but I have yet to see another female throw up 50 lb DBs for chest 6 reps unassisted.

Ok he was a small guy but that's not what I'm talking about we all start somewhere. It was how he was dressed. He has on a baseball cap on backwards with a shortsleeved sweatshirt cut off at the waste making it a belly shirt and a pair of cut off jeans shorts with a pair of combat boots and toob socks. He was doing some bicep work and would stop to admire himself in the mirror rubbing his biceps and then looking around to see if someone was looking at him. It was some sight I tell ya!

This is nothing out of the ordinary, but this past Monday, otherwise known as 'international bench press day' there was a skinny kid, about my height, but maybe 100lbs less than me, and he was benchin'. He did 135 for 8 sloppy reps, then I saw him get burried with 225 and have his spotter save him, so what does he do? ...... he puts 315 on, gets burried and has his spotter pull it off of him, what does he do next????..............he goes to 405, but his spotter talked him out of it, and if he didn't I probably would have because there is only so much I can take.

I used to train in a Bally full of fruity wack jobs (the guy who used to workout in a leather kilt with no underwear, the obviously pre-op transvestive cornering me by the smith and asking for workout advice) but sadly now the most excitement is from watching fratboys try to curl too much
there is one grossly fat, overcompensating dad who puts his inbred looking son through some great half-rep tag-team workouts... come on boy, you can do it, strong, strong! I very much enjoyed the one and only time I asked to work in on the squat rack with them and poppa Cankles challenged me to lift the immensely heavy weight on the pins.. could I REALLY do 405? He could do it, I'd just seen him go down about 6 inches, topple forward slightly, turn purple and 'back' the weight up for a great max effort.
well, I said I don't know - I've never tried to lift so much weight.. maybe he could give me some pointers on how to do the exercise? He visibly puffed up and started bragging in front of his son, so it was very satisfying to see him shut his enormous mouth once I started repping out full, paused front squats. I think I caught him muttering something about 'steroids' to his son as they walked away from the rack

You read correctly, lol. 6' tall kid, about 160lbs, maybe early 20's.....also, he was doing a wrestler's bridge on the bench and squirming around like a fish out of water if you can get a mental pic.......his spotter pulled the full 225 and full 315 off of him, I think the 405 was just asking for too much and he told him 'not today'....I was thinking 'not this year or next or the one after that'......I seriously would have come over and said something if his spotter hadn't.

i cant stand the people who take the locker right next to yours when there are 100 others open, and then when you try to get to your locker after a workout they are standing in front of you locker nbaked trying to get dressed, but it usually takes them 10 minutes to get their underware on(usually the geriatric population)

"Ohhh but before I even got to the squat rack this Asian dude was sitting there revving himself up to do a bicep curl with the squat bar. He kept walking up to it and then tapping it and walking backwards and walking up to it.. over and over.. I finally said to him,"Are you going to use that bar or play with it?" He said,"Yeah I have one more set." I said,"Well do it then already!"
Ohhh and for the guys who like to stand behind me while I do cable ab crunches I can see you phucking staring at my @ss in the mirror in front of you!

Yeah I bought a towel and layed it across my lap on those machines, same thing. Try doing them when you are on a military installation and the only girl about in the gym.*Bunny* said:LMFAO ... that's friggin disgusting. Only thing I can give ya Bally's related is the reason why I quit ... which involved an abductor adductor leg machine, a bunch of mirrors and men leering with their mouth open at my crotch. I haven't used one since but I'm past the cardio & light weight only stage for fear I get 'big'

Speaking of Asian dudes and curls, one of my Asian brothers - about 5-7, probly 150 or so - I guess decided he needed some help with the whole mind muscle connection thing. So he drags the preacher curl over next to the mirror so he could see his bi's before, during and after his set. No lie he did the double bicep pose (he was wearing a tank top) after each set lol.
There was one PT at the gym I used to lift at (24hr Fitness) who'd put his female clients on the ab/adductor machine and then roll up a stability ball for a front row seat. Well to be fair, it's a pretty complex move that requires careful observation and instruction

I guess this isn't exactly the work of a moron, but...
At the gym today I peered over and spotted some guy with his Flyer's jacket on, sort of attempting a 225 deadlift INSIDE of a squat rack. No, he wasn't using the pins or the rack itself, the bar was on the floor, inside the rack. I didn't quite understand it.

Check this out...so tonight I hit the gym at like 8pm for my cardio. I usually workout in the mornings, but i couldn't get up today... So the gym is full, and the only open treadmill is between two others...some older guy and a younger girl. So i'm running for like 10 mins and all of a sudden I smell someone ripping ass....and not one of those cute little farts, this was someone in serious need of a diet check. So i'm trying hard not to breathe and keep my pace...5 minutes later there's another one. This time I almost fell off the machine cause it was so bad...then within the next 10 mins there were 3 more... Now, I think it was the girl gassin' us, cause after she left there were no more...

Ill match your 'kha-kha' guy and raise you one "ppfffffftttsssssssssss pppppffffssssssss"
Imagine your typical "pfft" sound. Now picture it in a high pitch and drag it out for about 4 seconds followed with 2 more seconds of sssssssss. The guy is a in his 40's, Hindi I believe about 5"6 and wears a purple tank top, high soccer shorts, and gloves.

I think 'kha-kha' guy still has it.
I can take someone's grunting and straining and we even have a couple of deep-lung screamers that don't bother me at all. The thing with 'kha-kha' guy is his cadence. He could be using pink dumbells for a set of fifty and he'd still kha, kha, kha, kha, kha...

Another funny story that I tell from time to time. A couple years ago on the 4th of July, my normal gym was closed, so I went to another nearby place to train. It wasn't too crowded, not my kind of place though, nice juice bar, pool, raquet ball courts, etc...things most people would think are 'nice' would make me never want to go back.
Anyway, I found a nice area to do cleans, and got myself set-up. A few PT's were milling around, and nobody said anything about my chalk, so I thought "hey, this place isn't as bad as I thought, it'll work for today".
Oh yeah, to set the scene, I was wearing an old t-shirt that said 'Penn St Wrestling'. Anyway, I finish up my cleans, feeling pretty manly that I just cleaned, hook-grip, with an old Texas Power bar that didn't rotate. I start setting up for front squats when a seemingly normal guy who was maybe early-30's asked me for a spot on the incline......nothing out of the ordinary, I give the guy a handoff, he hit his reps, said 'thanks, man' and that was that.....a few sets into my front squats, (keep in mind I am still oblivious to anything), I rack the bar and the same guy comes over and pats me on the back (I'm still not thinking anything of it at all), I turn around and he looks at my shirt, and here is how the conversation went...
Guy: Do you wrestle for Penn State?
Me: No
Guy: Really?? You look like a wrestler!
Me: (still TOTALLY oblivious) Well, I guess I've been called worse
Guy: Well, I have mats at my house if you want to spar some time, just be gentle on me.
Me: (STILL totally oblivious) Thanks, man, but I don't have much free time
Guy: Oh?? Well, what are you into then??
Me: (Light bulb just FLASHED as bright as ever) GIRLS! I'm into girls.
Guy: Oh, that's cool, I'm sorry (then he heads off)
So, I finish up my workout and later that week I am telling everyone I see about this ridiculous story, and I find out that the gym I hit up for the day is a big, I mean BIG gay pick up joint in the area, lol.....and more than a good deal of the guys there are gay, and just figure if you're in there, what the hell? So, I guess I can be considered the moron here, lol.
lol, just thought everyone would get a kick out of that.

And here I was thinking of making up some protein balls to have on hand. Don't think so now.
Nasty visual!
Yeah well I don't want to think that some guy is staring at me and going home and getting off to what visual he just programmed into his mind. Well unless he was hawt... then he should just come up to me and talk because then there is always the possibilty of some small chance dreams can become reality.silver_shadow said:i'd do that
