I resent that statement. I wear some A&F clothing (not the polos because you have to have 11inch biceps to fit into a large) But some of there clothes are nice. It's pretty funny how a lot of people on ELITE talk about them like they are weak skinny gay guys. Well if you ask me, what do you guys wear then? Last time I checked HOT GIRLS love guys who where that? Unless you guys arent into girls... or are over the age 25- that would make sense.overcome73 said:

you ever seen the people that smuggle all the dumbells? They will have like 5 sets of all different weights at a bench next to them and people will be waiting to use them.

I don't have much fun stuff to laugh at at my gym - its not really hard core. I'm probably one of the scarier people there just because I'm sweating so hard...
Couple items tho:
1) There's this nice old guy in the gym -- he's in there every night and always talks to people but not in that annoying way where he doens't leave you the hell alone - he just says "hi" to the regulars. But the last 3 nights I've seen him on the same cable machine doing some sort of arm flopping pullover thingy. And his form just screams "I WANT ROTATOR CUFF & TENDONITIS PROBLEMS TO ADD TO MY ALREADY OLD & BEAT UP BODY!".
2) The guy who teaches my Butts & Guts class -- he's WAAAAY to excited about it at 5:30 am. And WHY does he insist on trying to yell "YEA! OMG! DO YOU FEEL THE BURN!" over the music blasting at volume setting "11"? Can't hear him anyway.
3) This guy who always wears white spandex shirt & bike pants. And a fag bag. I guess the fag bag sort of covers up "that"....

well u see these guys aren't exactly morons.. but i'm scratching my head off here.. these tag team partners are huge! i mean mr.universe huge and ripped.. and everytime i see them in the gym they'd be doing the following..
a) chins on the smith
b) bent rows, with only 50kg!! wtf?!!? high reps and frequency..
c) tri extensions with 95lbs db..
d) sitting cable pull downs for the back..
e) and some machine rowing..
and i'm like how the fuck did these guys just get so huge!?!? at their size they could prolly be squatting >200kg, benching >150 and dl-ing 250kg ors something..
then i thought to myself.. must be the fucking roids.. cuz their workout's are fucking pathetic..

Today some kid was doing curls with a straight bar while resting it on a flat bench between sets. He was curling away right were the spotter would be at the bench.. Oh, and he was supersetting his 'spotter curls' with close grip bench presses to hit his triceps hard (5 lbs per side). I just wanted to bench press, instead I paced around and drank too much water from the nearby water fountain until he was finished.. And, as soon as I started benching another guy took up one of the squat racks in the room to do reverse-grip curls and blast his forearms to POPEYE LAND.

They also might have focused more on heavy compound lifts earlier in their lifting career and now are focusing on different workouts, or maybe they have their diets down and eat like a herd of Godzillas, or maybe they've got good genetics. I'm surprised there isn't a 'gym-based' reality show yet. The Contender doesn't count..

I wonder what you guys would rant about in this post if you were to see guys in your gym performing exercises similar to the one on this page.
http://elitefts.com/documents/unconventional.htm
I remember the first time that I was in a commercial gym, I saw some guys doing weird, wonky exercises. Now I realise that they were performing variations of pullthroughs, glutehamraises (manual), hang pulls, push presses etc..
p.s I tried correcting a guy doing pullthroughs once because I thought "what the hell he was doing", he just gave me a wierd look. God, I feel so ashamed of it now.

I saw one of the regulars at the gym yesterday ask for a spot from a kid I knew to be a team bencher. I was just finishing up my set and asked whether he was ok with it or whether he'd prefer that I spotted. They both seemed happy with their arrangement so I left them to it. As the first rep started, the spotter took a firm grip on the bar. After the set, the guy got up with a puzzled look on his face and said "You helped me quite a lot with that".
I took it as a good opportunity to start a conversation that benching wasn't a pairs event.
I discussed it with my wife, later, though, and you can hardly blame the kid. We have a small bunch of jacked dudes who team bench. Who is the kid going to emulate: the jacked dudes claiming all the attention or the fat guy in the corner huffing and grunting all alone? Everyone knows you can lift more with a bit of help so why would you want to lift less?

really?! it sure didn't come across that way...Ilovetolift said:
I was doing cables pushdowns yesterday and some guy who obviously didn't really want to use the laying hamstring curl machine just stared at me.
So then he motions for me to take my headphones off, and I was just kinda like,"Yeah?" He said,"You work-out a lot, eh?" I was like,"Yes." He said,"Huh.... I haven't seen you here before." (I went earlier in the day then usual)
I said,"I'm here at night." He said,"Ohh, where do you work?" I was like,"Here." He said,"What do you do?" I said,"Train." Then I start my next set. He says,"I work at Fridays, ever been there?" I said,"Yep." He said,"What are you doing this weekend?" I said,"Working." He said,"Ohh." Then I turn back do another set started talking to another trainer and the guy walked to the other side of the gym, without having done anything with the machine except stand between the curl pad and the bench sweating on it. Classic....Not a bad approach but grow a pair. Why not say something like,"You should come up to Friday's when you get off of work and have a drink." Even though I'm not drinking... It's still better then the last guy who was pissing me off trying to make me do that stupid 1RM 55 pound DB curl....

I have a new hero, little guy with glasses who wears tighty tighty spandex and running shorts that just screams of faggery.. and in fact just screams at everything
I was warming up for legs and I hear someone yelling at 1000 db's 'COME ON MAN, YOU CAN DO IT< YEAH YEAH INTENSE!!' - turn around and see wee man doing wirst curls with one of those aerobics instuctor bars
curls followed, done with the same theatrics. sadly I had to leave early but I'm hoping he's back to disrupt my concentration tonight!

People who don't put back their weights piss me off. I look across the gym and see 315 on the bench and no one in site...ok, great you benched 315...now put the F'ng weight back. There is no excuse for that. Its just ignorant.
People who curl on the powerlifting platform. Get the F off. This is not for curling, not for tricep kickbacks.......
People who do benching as a "team" sport. One pushes and the other performs an upright row. Then the dude will pop up off the bench like he accomplished something.....leave your ego at the door when you enter the gym.

This isn't so much about a specific moron, per se, but it does have relevance..
I am a senior in college.. so I typically have seen the same kids in and out of the gym for the past four years. Every school year we get new people in there thinking they are the shit, all big bad and tough. You know the type. Often times there were dudes in there lifting like me, but alot bulkier, and more muscular.
I started sticking to a decent 5x5 type routine a little over a year ago. Ever since then, I just look around and everybody has stayed the same size, while I have slowly grown, in size and strength. Even kids I know from four years ago. It just makes me laugh. I cleaned up my diet, got a decent routine, put on about 20 lbs of muscle in the past two years, and now all these dudes who were once intimidating to me are now skinny little dweebs.
Funny how it works. I guess they could be considered morons.

I saw a guy with 3 little minions at the gym trying to "teach" them how to train. So he gets them on the smith machine to do flat bench, and makes them hold the weight right above their chest for a few seconds on every rep, then on the last rep, makes them hold it there for like 15 seconds. Then, after smith machine flat bench, he brings them over to do hammer curls, and he grabs the 35s, and uses more back to curl it then most people use to deadlift

I saw it again yesterday. The young guy training w/ his skinnyfat girlfriend who has obviously never seen the inside of a gym and would never have the guts to enter one w/o said bf. She's following him around doign the same routine he is, but lower weights.
OMG. They're at the leg press. YES! He does it! He puts 5 lb weights on the sled.

Just kill me now. She hauled more weight in her ass just walking in the door....
He has now permanently established the fact that she is completely ignorant and feeble, completely helpless w/o him. Further, she will spend the rest of her life feeling that that is appropriate. Welcome back to the new Victorian Era.

i've seen this happen to me twice. first time i was total noob... everyone was *HUGE*! a guy screaming through a 150lb bench (yes, i've actually seen that) was super strong back then... then 2 yrs later i was way bigger than them. this time, i lost all that weight and hit the gym... no one was *strong* but everyone seemed larger again. 9 mths later and i'm 33lbs heavier and more lean and these guys are small again. the worst thing is that some of them have actually dropped some weight, worse than remaining the same.vin01 said:

Gotta wonder why she didnt just do unweighted squats, that would be more of a challenge. I'm sure he didnt waste any of his valubale time explaining why she should be doing the exercises either
I actually see that couple a lot in my gym - he has a habit of pointing out people bigger than him (pretty much anyone) and telling his girl loudly that he could be just that big and strong if he 'got on the juice'. She's usually in jeans and looking like she really doesn't want to be there

Saw 2 guys today, I've mentioned them before, about 155lbs each and wearing tight white tank tops. Anyway, I saw them getting psyched up and attacking 45lb flat db presses for like 5 reps or so, and struggling at that. Hey we all start somewhere but then I had to laugh when I overheard the expert of the two say, 'the thing about this lift is you can't overthink it' lol

Today I glanced across the gym and noticed something...fruity. Facing the mirror (only about 2 feet away), stood 2 Abercrombies curling side by side at the same time. It looked very homo. Two guys, curling right next to each other, weird. But then I noticed that they were using ONE bar. They were actually curling the same 45 lb straight-bar together. Both had two hands on a different part of the bar and they lifted as a team. I couldn't make this shit up.

yeah man style is not about wearing what everyone else wears. Wear something that you feel is comfortable and looks good on you. There are a lot nicer clothes out there than shitty ass abercrombie and hollister t-shirts that say shit like Gettin lucky in Kentucky or handles curves fabolously. People who wear those shirts are basically screaming i need attention. Abercrombie is for teeny-boppers anyway. Why do you need abercrombie shirts at the gym anyway? You are just going there to sweat and workout all you need is some crappy t-shit some gym shorts and some sneakers. Save your nice clothes for when you go out.

A&F has been in southern ontario for years, I have an old A&F t-shrt I bought in london ontario 4 years ago. Stop pretending it's the latest cool thing, A&F is old. It may be new to you.

Review of Hollister:Jim Ouini said:
Inexpensive version of Abercrombie.
"Surfer" / Cali Style opposed to a more woodsie feel that Abercrombie portrays.
Light Plume on the nose is subtle yet tastful.

However, if you normally wear a shirt size bigger then a men's medium.. don't bother.
I wear a men's large size shirt, and even Hollister's XL clothes don't fit.
I feel like a beast when I walk in there..
If you do like seeing teenage girls in skimpy jean skirts, then shop away..

Same crap tonight...some idiot doing dumbell curls in the only olympic-lift platform, the usual ab convention complete with some guy holding his shirt up and flexing his (fl)abs in the mirror, and two Abercrombies playing with fire by jumping in on chins without asking while I was getting ready for a set and strapping 70 lbs to myself.

Not a moronic story exactly but more a piece of jack-assery from yours truely
little douchebag PT (who loves to hog equipment, walk over and unload bars that I'm using) with little effeminate looking client in tow comes mincing over to my corner.. his client looks longingly at the weights on the decline bench and whispers something to his PT who loudly says "That'll be you in a couple of years".
I replied, "Not if you keep training him it won't be"
poor guy looked a little embarassed

i got a good moron at the gym.
Little guido guy like 5'6" must weigh 175lbs.
Asked me to spot him, 225 on the bench!! Thats not the funny part dont laugh yet.
Right before he works himself up into a frenzy for the 225 he has this glazed look in his eye and whispers to me, " do you see them, the enemy there everywere" (apparently he is refering to the weights). "I am going to crush them", he states with grinding teeth.
He then goes and benches 225 for 3 tuff reps. gets up and says,"hell ya thats how you do it". WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I shook my head, went to the front desk and got my refund!

Dude, stop buying karma to get out of being bombed. Obviously you didn't learn your lesson, and no one wants to hear about your A&F exploits. The poster you were referring to was laughing at the "Rambo mentality" of setting up for a set, then he barely does anything. I have respect for those that EARN IT, not the idiots that beg for/demand it.
Moron for the day.
Everyone's seen the hip adductor/abductor machines right? I can never tell which is which, but I'm talking about the one you have to squeeze your legs together. Little college dude is talking at the water fountain watching this chick work on it, fair enough I do plenty of staring of my own. Whats funny is, the chick he was staring at I've seen squat/dl/bench everything, I assume she's a trainer of somesort or just damn cool. Anyways, he see's her get off the machine, and eager to show he's tough shit runs over to press the same amount of weight. I see him set up, position his legs on the pads, then reach over to pull the unlock lever. WHAM, his legs go straight sideways like he's doing the splits, and I just about choked on my water. I can see him tearin' up like he wants to cry, but he couldn't get the damn pads any closer together to get his legs off. After a few seconds his buddy saw I guess, and ran over to help him off the machine. 1) he has yet to look at that chick again, 2) he walked like an old cowboy that day, and I haven't seen him touch that machine again :-D.

This thread could run for years.
I can sympathize with the guy getting psyched about his 225, though; we all have to start somewhere and a 225 triple might have been a new PR for him. I've still to make a 140Kg triple and I know a guy agonizing about getting a 180Kg triple.
Anyway, it reminds me of one day last August when bench just wasn't happening for me. I was pressing 215 for sets of six with varying grips and really struggling. Meanwhile, a monster of a geezer was waiting for me to finish. Finally, I gave up and said "I reckon I'm done". He replied, "Yep, I think you are".

I got a good moron story today
Some moron, little dude, 5'8 160s soaking wet.
He sees one of the chicks over at the gym(bodybuilder) doing leg presses. She has on 5(45lbs) on each side. Sick weight for a chick and most MEN.
So shes done, some guy is waiting for the leg press so when shes done shes unracking the wieght, i hear him tell her "nah leave it on i should be able to do that"
Needless to say, 1 rep goes up, SMASHING DOWN. And the SAFETYs were LOW SET so his knees nailed him in the chest hard. He let out this loiud noise like someone exhailing retardely.
Im one of the few lucky ones to witness this, since my bench was facing his and i was resting.
It was so funny that people i didnt know were dying because they must have cought the begining too.
Stupid moron

This is kind of funny, and I am the moron here, actually, I was pwned by an 11 year old girl.
This was about 4 years ago, and I was doing pullups with a palms away from me grip. It was a Sat. and a guy who was a gym regular brought his daughter, who was a gymnast, to the gym with him on Saturdays. She was about 10 or 11, and looked all of 8. Anyway, I was doing pullups and my oversized ass was gasping for air between sets and the guy asked if his daughter could work in with me, so I said sure and brought over a utility bench so she could stand on it to reach the bar.
So, the girl starts stretching and contorting her body and whatnot, and the dad said, you can go ahead and do your set if you want.
What happened next, I will remember forever, lol. I did 9 pullups and the girl asked how many I did, so I said 9. Then she said oh, did you ever use that thing over there (she pointed to the gay assisted chinup machine where you rest your knees on a counter balance). So, I said "no, sweetie, these are the real deal". So, her dad brought over the bench and she climbed up on it and grabbed a hold of the bar, palms away just like I was doing, and proceeded to do 20 perfect pullups, lol. So, then she said to me in all seriousness, "Maybe you could have done 10 if you used that....as she pointed to the gay assisted chin machine".
Well, I was laughing my ass off and so was her dad, but she was 100% serious and couldn't tell what we were laughing at.

All of this talk about guys getting buried under the leg press reminds me of the time I had to dig some guy out from under the sled once. He's one of those guys who made some decent gains doing the typical M&F routine (coulda been his new haircut though?) so now he walks around swigging his gallon jug of water while strutting around in his muscle T.
Anyway, I look over and he's got 3 or 4 plates on the leg press, his knees are on his chest, his face is all red and he's looking around, seemingly for help. So I go over and offer to help and he acted all huffy like I touched the bar on a PR bench attempt.
Now that I think of it, maybe he was doing pause reps and I was the moron. I always wondered why he gives me the dick-eye whenever I see him...
In any case, they say squats are dangerous but I always thought with some of the weights people pile onto the leg press that that was the more dangerous exercise. At least with squatting you can dump the bar.
