What's the funniest thing you saw in the gym????

For me I saw a guy doing bi curls then when the db's touches his delts and it's time to go way down again he flips the db so his palms faces the floor saying that like that he trains bi's and tri's in the same time (like tri press down)Man he was so stupid.

Actually, I believe this is known as a zottman curl. Concentrates on the bicep on the way up, and the forearm on the way down.

I have a new funniest moment, just happened yesterday.

A guy (probably in his 40's, looked big but didn't have great form) was doing lateral raises with a pretty light weight (about 15lbs) but he was doing it the way where he bends over a fair way and has his elbows bent a lot. And he had terrible technique, and towards the end of his set, he was throwing his entire torso back and jerking the weight up.... then I just glanced over when I'd sat up from my bench, and saw the weight fly out of his left hand and smash a mirror.

The whole mirror smashed, although the shards didn't fall because of some safety film stuff. It was pretty funny anyway.

Some guys just go a little bit crazy trying to get a few more reps. I think if you can't get the weight up with proper form, you've done your job and the set is over.

Are you sure he wasn't just attempting iron crosses with really bad form?

One guy doing hanging leg raises (for abs) on that machine... dunno what it's called, the one where your forearms and back are supported...

So this guy gets his legs up, holds them there, and his "spotter" starts punching him... they were totally gay (both as in homo AND retarted), the guy on the machine kept counting out the punches... but they weren't really punches, more like half-fisted slaps to the stomach...

Was waiting for the machine, looked at them, turned around and couldn't stop cracking up, people started looking at me

I think it's funny when people are too afraid to ask someone how to start the treadmill, stairclimber, etc. Actually our treadmills are pretty simple. They have a prominently displayed "Start" button and arrows to make it go faster or slower, no fancy programs or anything.

Today, on two separate occasions, two different new people got on the treadmill beside me, punched a few buttons and then left because they couldn't figure it out. I offered to help, but they just stomped off in a huff like a 2 year old and got on a stationary bike. (No, that particular treadmill was not broken.)
