after reading all the "funniest gym moment" threads i thought the guys who loaded up the smith machine with 4-5 plates + and did 3inch squats was just a myth...

well tonight i can personally testify they are real and do exist.

this guy walked into the free weight area checked who was in saw some impressionable youths and some hot chicks proceeded to load the smith machine up so there was about 4-5 plates on either side. then squatted about 3 inches for about 5 reps, god did he think he was the new arnold,

i think he thought i was impressed as i kept staring at him all night (in disgust!!)

I love those guys. There was a guy where I used to train that had all these extra straps and shit so that he could use lots of weight and move it a couple inches. He did it on every exercise. It was funny as hell. They must wonder why all the rest of us move the weights through a full range of motion.

Naw man, I invented that shit back in High School in the 80's making the 1000 lb club...squating 600...6"s and arguing with the strength coach until he gave in...damn I wanted that 1000 lb shirt and could not bench over 280....a man has to do what a man has to do....So yes...blame me I started that 20 years ago as a skinny high school kid with a dream!!

there has been a recent phenomenon in my gym. Not sure who started the craze. But you get a towel from the locker room...roll it up and lay it lenghtwise down your chest . You then bench press touching the weight to the towel giving yourself a SOLID 4" less range of motion. It is highly entertaining to watch.

that ain't as bad as the dopes in my gym who do the 3 inch bench presses. lol

i always fuck with them by asking if that's some sort of new training technique from mens health or something...


lol

 

[dullboy]

one of the 3 inch bench press guys told me that this is a proven training technique for strength LMFAO!!!

told him if he ever wants to lift more than the 185 pounds he was fighting with it isn't...

I notice fads in my gym. Some dumbass will wo some wild swinging movements with weight at the end and sure enough every newbie in the gym is trying it out. Its fun to watch in between sets. The only time I help them out is if its a extreamly outta shape guy that I think is really dedicated to getting himself back into shape.

Bro Im taking the LiquiClen now and I measure it with a syringe. If you do some searches you will find a bunch of threads about it. One thread estimated that in about 6 drops from the dropper you get 20mcgs. If you put 6 drops into a syringe it will get to the first tick. The syringes I use are 3cc syringes.
After checking that 6 drops for me actually IS 20mcgs now I just go straight from the dropper. Measure yours first and dont over do the clen. Hope this helps.

It truly is my favorite thing in the gym. I will generally openly laugh at them. They coincidentally never have a physique either.
