The dumbass workouts some crazy people do in the gym.

[starskulker]

we got these two guys about 20-22 that come in and work out chest, one guy lays on the bench under the bar the other guy spots him from behind. but when they start to do heavy weight (which is ab 205) the guy from behind will repeatedly slap the SHIT out of the other guy in the face and yell " do that shit" as loud as possible. then the other returns the favor, very amusing to watch. they both walk out with hand prints on the face.

If my training partner slapped me he better start running for the fuckin door. I don't need to get slapped to point my anger at the bar. I have my own reserves of it. It goes down deep.

well, i dont feel like unloading 900lbs from the legpress machine unless im going to use it! (and ill uload it again when im done!), that will be between the guy who used it and the manager/staff ..

I can't believe some of the silly shit I see certain people do in my gym. There is this guy who wears a black karate ghi in the gym and whenever I see hime he has got one arm in one of the handles of the cable crossover and his "Foot" is in the other handle on the other side. He proceeds to try and do karate moves while hoioked up like this. Every time I see him he's doing some silly ass thing that I think he thinks is helping him and I'm just weighting for the day he hurts himself. I have seen people try to tell him that the things he does are going to hurt him but he never listens. We also have an older lady that I guess is a past ballerina or somthing that does all these silly ballerina hand movements when she gets on the cable crossover also. She's wearing headphones and is totally lost whipping her head and hands around while she's on the machine. It's the funniest thing. Sometimes she get's a full audiance of people just standing and looking going "WTF?"

I wonder if these people will ever "Get it" that there is a right way and a wrong way to work out!

I always laugh the most at what I call the Swingers or pendulum pushers. Those are the guys that do things like curls by keeping their arms bent and never fully extend and isolate their bicep then theyuse there back to swing it up to there chest. Anyone who knows anything are not impressed by these guys cause if they had to do a real curl they could barely do half what they are doing. I bet I see about 75-80 percent of everyone in there lifting wrong!

Very true. A lot of the reason for this is that the pro's set poor examples. Ever see Ronnie train? Very very sloppy. But he's of the mindset that you have to keep the weight moving for a longer total time under tension. In the other corner is biomechanics and the sliding filament model of muscle contraction which states that the most overlap of fibers (i.e. biggest stretch) will yield the most contraction. But again, that's RONNIE. I know the kind of guys you're talking about, swinging 50 lb dumbells up with their back and proceeding to flex their 14 inch "guns" in the mirror. My arms are measuring 22 1/4 now and I do strict seated curls with 50 lb dumbells for 8-10 reps. And there's always some tough guy that stands right in front of me and tries to do more weight with awful form. I just smile and move on.

I dont care how big anyone is, I could show them they can train to failure curling 20# dumbells. or even 10# for that matter but it would take a little longer thats all! lol!

No shit,used to be this scrub at my smalltown gym who would go outside and take a damn smokebreak 2- 3 times during his workout,come back in smelling like a chimny.Or the drunk who would come in and workout,and when he sweat he smelled like a brewery.

Those have a proper name.

They are called "Heave-Ho Curls."
