Whats the stupidest thing you have seen at your gym

[Illuminati]

this happened almost 6 years ago when i was in High School living in maine. me and a friend of mine are at the Y lifting, and my girlfriend at the time was one the other side of the gym lifting with her sister. my friend gets under the bar to start benching, and i see this guy walk into the gym. this dude was wearing a pair of skin tight daisy duke grey shorts, and 2XL tank top, these thick horned rimmed glasses, and has this leopard skin towel drapped over his shoulder. i got bad eyesight, so i look at my friend and im like "dude, check this shit out" he sits up, the guys walks by, and we realize that it is Stephen King (ya know, the author who writes all the books.) anyway, we watch him, as he goes over to db curls, and stands right next to my gf. the fuckin guy was grunting real hard, biting his lip and flaring his nostrils like he's curling 80's but he's only got 20's in his hands, all the while he's still got his leopard skin towel over his shoulder. i look at my gf in the mirror, and she has this look of disgust in her face. me and my bro start crackin up at him, and he drops the db and just stares. we could only imagine that he was thinking about his next book and that we were gonna end up in it, getting slaughtered for laughing our asses off at him

at my old gym there was this old guy who would wear really short shorts and his junk would just hang out whenver he sat down to bench or anything. He would sit there with his legs open and strike up conversations like his cock wasn't hanging out on the bench.

1. Little guys pulling their sleeves up over and over again because they are too small for them to stay up.

2. Little guys giving stupid tips they think are good and they say them really loud so everyone can hear him giving tips.

3. Fat guys who lift too much weight so that they can't even do 2 reps by them self, even though a little guy could do it 10 times.

4. Little guys who flirt with girls for 10 minutes at a time and do a set which takes 5 seconds.

5. Guys that take juice for the first time and think they are superman even though they get no results.

If I owned a jym, you would have to pass a test to be accepted, no jokers allowed.

Amen to that, so many stupid people use my gym theres even this one guy who runs around the gym for his warm up. There was me during a set and the little prick starts running around in circles. Had me in fits of laughter.
Another stupid thing was a guy who thought it would be 'cool' to see if he could run faster than the running machine on its highest settings, he ended up tripping and the machine launched him several meters away it was hilarious

I saw a moron trainer working with a couple. He had them performing bicep curls simultaneously side by side using an olympic bar. Needless to say, the female injured her back and the trainer was sent packing.

I saw a guy tonight huffing and puffing getting mentaly ready for a set. I mean this guy was slapping his biceps and all that. Anyways he approaches the rack of weights and straps in to a 35lbs pair of dumb bells and then does a set of 10 curls. the funniest thing is that he grunted so loud the whole time that the whole gym was watching. I mean why are you going to use wrist straps on curls?

Any other stupid stories

Stories, yeah i got a million of em. There was this fatass guy called Terry who apparently was a lifetime member at the gym in Australia where me and my buddy used to train at. Typical moron comes in does a bunch of useless half reps, spends most of the time leaning on the squat rack chewing gum and talking crap. Anyway his best claim to fame besides bench press....Was doing standing bicep/gut curls. He would load 2 x 45 pound plates on an olympic bar and throw it up and down with his enormous belly in sets of 3, grunting and wheezing the whole time. After a while we used to mock him by immitating the chew gum and lean on the squat rack routine ( smirking. )

OH WAIT I just remembered a classic.

These 2 guys always train together. They both thought they were some kind of chick magnet hammers when in reality they couldnt get laid in a whore house. Anyway, they come dressed in kinda spandex bicycle shorts and BIG loop muscle shirts where you see everything. They are both about 6 foot tall and weigh about 170. Well one day one of the guys was trying to MACK on this girl at the gym. He is acting all nonchalant while he's talking to her and lays down on the flat bench to do some bench press. His partner/spotter slaps a 45 and 25 on each side. The guy on the bench is struggling at rep 5 when his spotter who is standing over him rips a juicy fart. The guy on the bench now has the full weight of the bar on his chest and can't get it off. His partner is laughing so hard, he can't get it off. Finally he pushes the bar off to the side where it comes crashing to the floor and he falls off the bench. He gets to his knees and starts vomiting. It was fuckin awesome.

That was hugely fucking funny bro!!

That's HARDCORE!

Funny!! I almost spat out my lunch over the computer screen laughing at that thread. The scratch and sniff test eh?? Thats nasty...

 

[BIGJAKE]

this has to be one of the best threads i have ever read.this shit fucking great

I have seen so much stupid shit in the gym over the years I could post all day about it! I've been LMAO reading this thread, this is the best!

One of the most recent ones I can think of was when I was down in the lower 48 for a few days. I was at this little hole in the wall gym in this Podunk little town when I see what is a potential "gym idiot" walk in. I was right. This guy struts around for a few minutes like he's deciding which machine he's gonna "work over" today. He finally chooses the cable crossover machine as todays "victim". He drops the adjustable pulley handles just below waist level and starts some weird side-to-side Gliding/side hop movement. As he glides to one side of the machine he then jerks the handle across his body and lets out a blood curdling groan, which for the first few glides makes me wonder if this guy is gonna have an anurism right on the spot. Then when he's done he goes back into his strut again. I found myself like a deer in the headlights for the whole glide routine, like a bug and a bug zapper, I just couldn't take my eyes off this absolute moron!!


I do have one thing that pretty much grinds me to the floor everytime though.
The STUPIDEST shit I see at the gym, hands down, is these dumb-ass "Personal Trainers". There are a select few that always show up late in the morning looking like they just rolled out of bed. They walk up to their client holding their Mocha that caused them to be 10 minutes late and proceed to half train their client and half socialize with everyone else in the gym, and then after 40 minutes slaps 'em on the back, collects their money and sends 'em packin'. I hate that shit!!

I have to a agree about people that don't do legs. there is a kat at my gym that has a fucking huge upper body but legs smaller then his arms it is so funny.

We call that guy "riding a chicken"
