Hey everyone,
I am a gay man, who has been working out in my gym now , going on 3 years. I find it so funny, while I am in the back area where the all the barbells are located. If the macho or redneck guys come, (most of which are out of shape) will reach for the heavest barbell that they can pick up and try to do a curl. Grunting and twisting their whole body just trying to do one curl. While all the while I'm sitting there doing my 20 pounder curls, blasting my biceps. I guess it must be a "I'm a real man complex"...why is that?

What the hell does you being gay have to do with this thread? Are you trying to post something pertaining to this thread or are you just using this thread to come out of the closet?babybodybuilder2.5 said:Hey everyone,

Hey ....you must be one of those guys who feel awkward working out with Gay men. Other wise you would not have gotten so bent out of shape. All you saw was the word "GAY". Did you even read the rest of my thread? Its about Strange things you see in the gym, Right? Well to me I find it strange. Its like they get back there and try to show off, when all the while they are making complete asses of themselves. I'm not the only one in there that finds it to be funny. Now as for your crazy remark about me coming out ....I have been out since the age of 17....and now im 39...so get a grip. Maybe its you that should come out !!!...StickFigure said:

Yes, this thread is about humourous things that happen in the gym. What does you being gay have ANYTHING to do with it?
Shut the fuck up.

Yes, I read the rest of your post, and actually that's not strange, it's normal!
I've seen that kind of shit in the gym everyday since I was 14. Guys are always trying to look tough in the gym because their afraid of looking like a puss. But you immediately stating the fact that you were GAY only tells me that you must have some issue with your sexuality. It had absolutley NOTHING to do with what this post is about and since it was only your 2nd post on EF, I can only imagine why you felt it was SO important to let us all know you are gay.

Mine takes the prize! The other day I saw a guy using the assisted pull up machine....
"wow", you might say, "vicious" is really harsh, he thinks using the assisted pull up machine is the dumbest thing he ever say"
The guy was doing leg presses.
Picture that: A grown man, holding on to the pull up bar, and thinking that the hydraulic platform was for some kind of leg press. At least he did ten reps, and his form was pretty good ;-)

No one will belive this, I still to this day do not believe it myself, but about 6 years ago, I saw a man jerking off in the mirror at a Golds gym in Astoria, NY. A couple of big guys grabbed him while his pants were still off and threw his ass out and kicked the shit out of him...
Oh I almost forgot, I have really bad eyesite and do not wear my glasses. so at first i thought the guy was itching his crotch or something, so I kept on staring to see what the fuck he was doing. So when these guys threw him out they come back in look at me and they were like, WTF bro you like to watch?

Ok....I understand your beef, now allow me to explain why I used the word gay. Perhaps I should have explained it more clearly in my first thread. Theses guys only do it because of the fact that I'm gay. If I'm not near them, they will workout in a normal fashion. Hope this will clear thing up, and man you need not come down on a person so harsh...be cool about everything. I put up with crap like this all the time, and find it insane....
Here we all are in the year 2004, and people still are bothered by that word.

so many idiots in my gym without a clue.
one kid does chest 4 days a week and he does about 15 sets of flat bench. he lays down and sticks his legs out straight off the bench and crosses them. then procedes to do 4-6 reps, i mean 1/4 reps..you know, the tricep lockouts the toughguys do on bench
. the kid asked me for a spot a couple weeks ago and i almost lost it in the middle of his set, i had to fight myself not to walk away in the middle of it. o yeah and this is all with like 135-140lbs.
then there is this other asshole who will breakout in the middle of his workout doing these sloppy-ass looking spin kicks and boxing at himself in the mirror
. OMG it makes me so mad watching this kid, hes like 5'11" 170 35% BF and he'll take his shirt of and start flexing in the mirror. i cant believe he actually has the balls to do stuff like this in front of everyone in the gym.
this other dude is fat and out of shape and does all sorts of quarter reps and he actually has the balls to come up to me and my partner some times and give us lifting "tips"
. first time i saw him he set up one of the adjustable incline benches all the way to the top, but the pin wasnt in a hole, he had it set so high that the back post was resting on top of the pin. when he sat on it the back post came out and the whole thing went crashing to the floor with him sitting on it. i nearly died laughing.

Ive been working out for three years now and i cant live without my mobile phone either. If i leave it at home, i feel like my hand has been cut off
BUT
I have never even thought about taking it into the gym with me!
This one guy is always using his phone like inbetween every set, either speaking or text messaging and it totally does me. Anyway, the only time he takes it out of his pocket if he isnt going to start speaking into it is to do declines. And he rests it on the legs of the weight rack with his wallet and car keys (dude, use a frigging locker!!)
So he's doing his declines, and some guy goes to get a weight off the rack, a 25 kg plate which was on a 45 angle with 4 other 25 kg plates, so he struggling to get a good grip on the top plate, he tries to slide it off, drops the weight, straight on top of phone-guys mobile!
Plastic, cicuits and LCD go everywhere, i can hardly stop laughing.
Thing is, the guy STILL brings a phone in!

Hmm? I think I got a few.
The first 2 involve me.
I'm in the power rack doing squat singles. 6x1. I'm like on my 4th set when I hear something. Real faint. Kinda sounded like a rip. I rack the bar and kinda grab back there real discreet like only to find I have ripped a nice 3 inch seam down the back of my shorts. Now my shorts are fairly loose, but I failed to pull them up a little before I setup. This wouldn't be so bad exept that these shorts don't have a liner in them and I'm not wearing any underwear cuz I grew up believing underwear was only good for cutting off the circulation down there. Commando style.
Anyway, lol, I act real casual and walk up to the front desk and and order a protein drink and start checking out there overpriced workout gear. I grab a pair of shorts and pay for them and change. The PT at the front desk asks me what that was all about so I tell him. The putz lol, tells every other person that works at that gym about my little incident and for the next few workouts I get pestered about my ass ripping experience. Btw, I went and finished my last 2 reps.
Another time I was doing dumbell sidebends to help improve my lateral stability on my squats as I was finding that I was teetering just a little as I did my reps. Definitely fixed that problem. So I'm doing my sidebends and this HOT girl is standing right next to me doing some stupid 5lbs dumbel curl/press/lateral negative combo or whatever and on about the 3rd rep I just rip a fart big time. Not one to just quit a set I kept at it. FAAAaaaaaaT! I rip another one! And another! By the 10th rep I was starting to sound like Master and Commander with all the heavy cannon fire. The whole time I'm acting like nothings going on.
So I finish and switch to the other side. The sets going good and nothings squeekin out. Right before I finish my last rep a little pip squeek fart pops out and I burst out laughing. I looked at the girl who for some reason stayed in the same spot through the whole show and gave her a goofy smile. She just turned her nose up in disgust and proceeded to continue her 3 move arm/shoulder combo. I finshed my workout and went home.
Hmm, some of the stupidest or funniest ish I have seen others do?
I saw this fat/thick cuban guy punching one of the support beams on the cable/chinup station like he was fighting Tommy Hearns.
This one guy all dressed up in olympic lifting gear complete with shoes goes to the squat rack and proceeds to do quarter reps with 95lbs for a set of 3.
This 6 foot+ tall, skinny asian guy doing literally 2" ROM squats with like 500 pounds. This guy had no build whatsoever, but he sure must have had a strong spine lol.
Saw a teenage kid doing bench with 185 for like 10 reps which was pretty good considering how skinny he was, except the bar was dipping down about 6-8" lower on the left side throughout the whole set! Talk about strength imbalance, nerve impairment and setting yourself up for a serious injury.
I always get annoyed when I see these super hot chicks in spandex and thong doing stiff legged deads on the platform for all to see and acting all irritated when they catch you starin. If you don't like it, then cover up that frickin camel toe!
Oh ya! My 2 personal favorites! I saw this skinny guy doing one legged presses on the horizontal leg press machine with the whole stack. Too bad he was only moving the weight about an inch. Man, he must have strong ankles.
Another guy was doing doing leg presses on the same machine only he was real gangly and he had his feet so high and went so deep that his knees went past his ears. I'm not making that up. Normally I don't say anything, but I just had to let this guy know that he was going to destroy his lower back if he didnt lower his feet and not go so fuggin deep. The guy just looks at me like I'm an ass so I hop on the machine, put on more than double his weight and rep out 30 reps in front of him and walk away. I don't remember seeing him there again.
Sorry if my post was a little graphic.

This guy wears sun glasses all the year long and a cap backwards
He loaded the leg press with a dozen plates
Groan enough for everyone to look at him
Took a deep breath
Have a few glances in the mirror
Another loud pig groan
got out of the press to go drink water
Re-deep breath
Re-groan
and got stuck at his first rep
He needed people to help him get out of the press

Holly shit thats funny
I AGREE. that is my favorite story in this thread
we have "flex" and "spandex" in my gym flex is about 50 yr. old, smells like he has never showered and flexes about 20 times an hour. hes 5' 8" 150 decent shape but he needs to flex at home! spandex got in a car wreck so hes messed up in the head, every day he wears spadex shorts up to his ass almost and does the worst form and stupid exersizes but he has done some shows so hes in good shape
atleast 7-8 years ago these two small little dicks thought they were the shit, pulled into the parking lot of the gym [windows in front of gym, so you can see the parking lot] One of them opens his door and hits the car next to him. For what ever reason he thought it was funny so he pulled the car door closed and slamed the door into the car again. Well the car belogned to one of those guys that is huge and nice as can be. So he walks over to the window as the kid does it another 1-2 times and then comes into the gym. The big guy says, hey thats my car you did that to. Small guys says so the fuck what.
Any way the small guys starting working out and big guy goes and does his workout. Big guy finishes his work out and walks out to small guys car. he jumps on the hood and pulls his shorts down and shits on the windshield. He then waks over and opens the car door and backs his ass up to the car seat and moves his ass up and down to wipe his ass off. The small guys just watched through the window pushing eachother to go stop him.

just this morning I walked into the gym and heard a man groaning and grunting, loud as hell, over near a power rack. I thought to myself...hmmmm someone must be pulling some heavy ass shit. Now I don't make noise when I lift, except for the random.."please let me get this racked" grunt....Well, I walk to the back of the gym to work with some dumbbells and I see this kid...all decked out in Under Armor shit...headband, wristbands...fuck this kid even wears baseball batting gloves...he's probably 5'7" and 170lb @ 18%....He was screamming as he pounded out dumbbell bench presses with an amazing 45lbs in each hand! I was in absolute awe! Realizing I needed to do d-bell bp today and quickly started somewhere else....by the time I had to do the db bp he was still there...snorting, grunting, groaning and psyching himself up for yet another powerful set....I quietly grabbed the 120's and started to press them for about 12 reps....the kid chucked his d-bells down, got pissed and stormed out of the gym......what the fuck?!?!
I was at the gym and saw these two little kids....couldn't be a day over 17...come into the gym....both of them were around 5'10" and probably weighed around 130ish....each. I knew they were morons the moment they walked in as one of the kids had a weightlifiting belt on.....and he was doing shoulders. Anyway after they warmed up a little the first kid (with the belt on) annouced that it was going to be a "heavy day" and grabbed the 70's for some dumbell shoulder presses. Well after he heaved them onto his knee's he took a moment and actually got them over his head.....for a second. His right arm gave out and the dumbell came crashing down and smashed him in the face. He started bleeding everywhere, and after his buddy got a towel for him and the staff stopped the bleeding it was made known that he had broken his nose. His face was pretty messy....and I walked up to him at the end of it all and said "Man...you're lucky you had that belt on, or you could've been seriously hurt!!"
I don't think he even got the joke....

This one dumb ass was trying to look real friggen tough by maxing out on his straight leg squats, without so much as a belt! I think people invented a chair with wheels for guys like that, I think they named it a wheel chair. To all of you other "Hercules' " out there, were not laughing WITH you, we are laughing AT you.

I once saw a woman sitting on the seated row with no handle attachment on the ring. She was just holding on to the ring at the end of the cable and doing one armed rows. I was standing about 5 feet from her, watching her. After a set of about 30, she turned to me and said, "Wow, that really hurts my fingers." I said to her, "Miss, let me put one of these handles on there for you." So I put one of the handle attachments on the ring. She then did about 2-3 of them and then turned to look at me. She had a look of genuine suprise on her face when she said to me, "Boy, that's a lot better. Thank you." I just held back my laugh and said, "Your welcome." Then I walked off.
I know everybody's thinking that this woman was an old lady of about 70 and that it's not that suprising. However, I would have estimated this woman to be in her early 40s.

1)I hate guys who post on forums saying "Heh heh, I eat 300 lb dumbbells for breakfast. I saw this 17 years old kid, he must've been 130. He was curling 45's and he actually looked like he was straining himself. What a pussy." Guess what, A-hole? He's a begginer, you were once one too, so get your shrunken testicles out of your ass and get your retarted ego together. Sorry, no one on this forum, but I post on a lot of forums, and I hate it when people do that.
Stupidest thing I've seen:
My gym actually hasn't had many events. We just have those occasional under-armor cologne wearing 17 year olds come in and hog the bench machine for 30 years...it kinda pisses me off. Tis about it, sorry
Oh yeah, whenever I walk into the lock room, there's always a naked asian man standing on the scale with his shvantz pointing right out at me. Not necesarilly the same one all the time. Jezus christ man, cover yourself...

there's a dude at my gym who will grunt incessently at the top of his lungs when doing half squats @ 135lbs.
Him and his buddy do the same thing on the curl rack and dumbbell curls.
Worst thing is the guy is 250 30%BF and walks around arms outwards, chest out like he is the man.
Once his buddy started screaming for him to 'GET THAT SHIT UP' when he was dumbbell benching 65's. He responded by even louder moaning and grunting, i wouldnt mind it if he wasnt doing such low weight.
To this day i have not seen them do any other excersize other than squat curl and bench.
God i hate stupid people. It makes going to the gym a funny experience though.

I've got two and they both involve me. Both of my stories take place in the gym I used to go to, very hardcore place, known around town as the "juicer gym" or the "steroid factory", concrete floors, old dried blood at random places on the floor(mostly from nose bleeds due to high BP), black iron every where you looked, etc. Anyways, I go to work legs one evening in May a few years ago, I'm wearing an old, worn pair of jeans that I had been working out in for quite a while, the problem was that they were old, and I had just recently added about 15lbs to my physique due to the cycle I had been on. There was a decent amount of people working out, including a group of 18-19yr old girls that had just joined a few days prior(only to watch all of us guys train because women hated our gym other than that), they were using stairmasters that were on the second story, facing directly towards the squat rack. I always start with squats so I go throw on 135 and warmup, then 225 for a second warmup, then I throw on 315 for my next set, which was nothing new to me, so I wasn't trying to show off or anything like that. I had noticed that my pants had become tight in the ass from the sudden weight gain and had meant to get some new ones, but forgot to do it. I unrack the weight and begin squatting, when I got to the bottom of the third rep I heard a sudden loud "pop" and immediately felt a draft in the rear of me. All I can hear is people laughing and saying "Oh my God", then it hit me. My pants had split right down the center of my ass crack, as did the boxers I was wearing underneath, leaving my bare ass hanging out at the bottom of the squat I was attempting to perform. I even had to laugh at myself. Needless to say I had to go home and change.
The second story took place in the same location, except it was after hours when the gym was closed to the public. I had made arrangements with the owner at the time to train later at night because I couldn't make it in there during normal business hours. This is when I had only been working out for about 4 months, so I didn't know a lot of things. In that gym there was a decline bench that was very low to the floor, and had no self spotter. I decided that I would use that for my next exercise, and on my second set using 185lbs, which was too much weight for me, I got my self stuck under it. I tried dumping the weights but it was too low to the ground to be able to do that. I was stuck like that for about 20minutes, when the owner and a friend happened to come in for something they had left there(lucky me) and rescued me. They asked me if I was alright, which I was except for sore arms from trying to keep the bar off my neck. They started busting up laughing at me, and I felt really fuckin stupid. Hey, we were all new at some point, right? For a long time I never went near that decline bench again.

There is a 17 or 18 y/o kid at my gym.. He is 6'3" and 230. Pretty big I guess. Here is where I laugh my ass off. He must go tanning every day. It looks rediculous. He glows a dark red. He is also on anadrol... so he is holding so much water he does not have one striation or cut on his body. He also has one of the biggest guts I've seen in a while. To top it off. He has blonde hair and has been slicking it back. Reminds me of Mr. Perfect.. LOL.
*Honorable mentions: anyone wearing any of these:
-fanny packs
-leg warmers
-those nailon 80's running shorts that you junk falls out of when you sit down.
-nipple tank tops.. with Jeans of all things
-using a cell phone at the gym (if you are getting ass or closing a big deal (not drug) thats another story.
-sun glasses
** I also love the guys with the huge guts that do 1/4 reps that say they are powerlifters... Well, my buddy promotes all the powerlifting meets up here... and I have never seen any of these guys at them.
Huh? It felt good to get this out.. LOL

Every time that I walk into a 24 Hr. Fitness I see stupid shit. But I guess the biggest joke there are the trainers. They work with these poor fat people and convince them that balancing on a ball with help them "get abs"!LOL! I hate that sentence..."get abs". Like nobody has abdominal muscles to start with?? A girl asked me that last week and I said "yea, I do...I also have quadriceps, bicpes, pectorals, and a couple hundred more muscles...what do you have?". She looked at me like a deer caught in headlights. 
Point made.

I was working out with my brother in an upscale "health club" in Waltham, MA. There was this dude that worked with my brother, who felt he was a strong guy becuase he could bench the whole stack on the universal machine, 315 lbs indicated on the machine...So genius decides to try the real bench that my brother and I were fininshing up on. This guy was probably 6 feet, 200 lbs, not in great shape, and a bit of a tool, if you know what I mean.
So what does the massive tool do? He throws on three 45's on each side, to match his 315 that he did on the machine...He gets under it thinking he is going to rep 8 or 10, struggles to lift it off, and practically decapitates himself when the bar crashes on his neck. A couple of guys help him lift it off while my brother and I are shaking out heads across the gym...But this isn't the best part...
Massive tool decides that he isn't going to fool around with free wieghts anymore, and since massive tool had never used the bench before, he strips the iron off, but ALL THREE OFF ONE SIDE 1ST. I am watching this wondering what was going to happen - sure enough, once the last 45 came off one side, the olympic bar shot over the bench like a catapault, exploding against the wall on the other side and breaking a wall sized mirror...I nearly pissed my pants.

There's this duschebag at my gym that wears the same white Under Armor spandex shirt every fucking day. He walks around with a substantial case of I.L.S. He's a fat fuck and has a brutal shape to his body. I just flat out laugh at him. I have no pity for idiots like that. Everyone at my gym asks me why I wear such big clothes that cover up my physique. I always just point to that asshole and say "that's why".
Another one of my favs are the 45 year old fat, white, hairy guys that wear "Y" backs. What are they thinking??
A bully and bum that thought he was hard because he did alittle boxing in a well respected gym, came into my boxing gym - put the gloves on and we sparred, i tapped him in the stomach and he ran to the corner bucket and got sick, this is after he made so much noise "destroying" the bags, with his mouth and fists .)
Similar to the noise tennis players makes just instead of per hit ball - make it per hit bag, which is constant.
Mostly everybody in the gym had giggle or smile. A humbled man he was made.

One thing I don't ever get mad about, because I did the same thing years ago, but I do always get a chuckle out of is High School age lifters discussing supplements.
1.Any supplement's value is always measured based on how much someone they know put on their bench using the supplement.
2.What the guy at GNC told them is undeniable scientific fact.(Even though it doesn't make a lick of sense.)
3.Never any mention of vitamins, anti-oxitants or EFA's.
I can't really hold any of this against them as I was exactly the same way at that age, but I seen nothing wrong with getting a laugh out of it.

I had a nice laugh over the Christmas holiday when I went back to my home town in the Northeast. I picked up a week pass at the local gold's gym and sure enough I saw a lot of the same slobs that where there over 15 yrs ago, but what's both funny and sad is they have this look to them that is just so odd. I decribe it to my friends as the "hardboiled egg on toothpicks" look. They are so proud of their 3 reps of 315 (even though they only have about a 6 inch movement because of bouncing it off their gut and I can see the spotter almost thowing his back out trying to get it up for them) and then they walk around like they can't put their arms within a foot of their sides! Christ, I friggin' laugh my ass off every time I go home!

true:
police officer was doing smith machine squats with a bench underneath for a depth check. like using a chair. well he went too heavy and failed causing him to be pinned between 500 some odd pounds and a bench. he broke his neck and now is paralyzed. HILARIOUS!

God, I can relate to all these posts so well. I fuckin hate all the types of people mentioned. Especially the wanna-be billy bad asses walking around with there "lats spread", I think every gym across the country has a few of them. Or the guys that always try to showoff by outlifting everybody, with either two or more spotters helping to pull or push the weight they are attempting to use. Or middle aged men with "I can't let anyone younger than me lift more" attitude, I love to humiliate guys like that. People suck, that is all.

I actually saw something pretty funny this afternoon. This guy, whos about 40, is really really lean. However, he's about 6 foot and probably weighs 140 lbs. He looks sickly really. Well anyways, all he wears is spandex. Ok, it was back day for me, and apparently him as well. I'm on the lat pull down warming up and he walks up and gets on the assisted pull-up machine, the kind where you step up on steps and put your knees up on a pad to use the weight assistant. Well he has it on 90 pounds and starts doing pullups, very sloppy and fast, becauce he was pulling up all of 50 lbs unassisted. He did 3 or 4 sets of about 50 pullups when this hot chick walks by him, he starts just talking out loud to her about how he's warming up and just pumping his back up. So she looks at me then stands there and nods at him. He said "wait, watch this, and help me keep count". I start in on my 4 set on the lat pull downs while this chick is counting outloud for this idiot. I finish and grab my water bottle and she's still counting, she was on 73 and he was in the up position, i was watching, and his forearm just cramped, he let go, the pad and him flew down, he fell off on his back, the pad shot up and made a LOUD ass crash, and as it flew up it pushed his knees up with it actually sending him into a backwards roll on the ground. I just started laughing, water actually came out of my nose. He rolls out of it, jumps up and starts to shadow box. He looks at the girl who was counting and was like, "Wow, that was a good warm-up", while all of the trainers who work at the club came running up to him. Maybe it doesn't sound funny, but if you knew this asshole and you saw it, then you'd have almost shit yourself. Oh, and he left like 2 or 3 min. after that happened.
Just last week I was at my local gym. I usually go during the day but I was running late that morning. So I was stuck going at the busiest time.
I walk in, and start my normal routine, I beleive I was doing shrugs. Anyway I notice this chick has been staring at me for 10 minutes. Her boyfriends working out with her and notices this. He starts looking at me, at this point I am wondering what the hell their problem is, but I ignore it and carry on.
Fast forward 5 minutes, she's looking at me again and I am thinking she has a different workout in mind. So does the boyfriend, and this is when shit hits the fan.
He walks over to me and get's in my face, and proceeds to ask why am I checkin out his chick. "I said bro, you have some fuckin balls." "You you need to keep your woman under control b/c she's been checking me out for 20 minutes." The gym get's quiet, and everyone is staring. I'm on a cycle mind you, and I am surprised I had such self control. Well the guy get's in my face and I shove him and he flew a few feet into the Smith Machine. His girfriend walks off towards the exit, 4 guys jump in and get inbetween him and I. They eventually kick this dude out of the gym. I continue on with my routine, but after a few sets I ended up going home.
That was an interesting evening

Once I saw this older lady wondering around the cardio area looking for a treadmill. She went up to this kid who was on one and said she had signed up for it earlier. So, the kid, realizing she was right, gets off the treadmill. But here's the catch, he just walked off the treadmill at about 10mph, and the lady had no clue it was still on. She stepped onto the treadmill, and got thrown back like she was shot out of a cannon into all of the exercise bikes. She was on the ground for a good 10 minutes in pain before someone came to help her up, hahah.
Another thing, this puny ass little kid comes in, hes gotta be like 16. He is about 6' 120lbs. Thinks he hot shit, never does anything but 210lbs on the flat bench for about 3 reps 2 or 3 sets. After that he walks around telling people that they have bad form or theyre doing the wrong thing. He always looks at me because he knows I hate his bitch ass, one of these days im gonna smack him.

One of the gyms that I managed had the sales counter right in front of the gym where you could see everything. The cardio was right in front of the sales desk. One Friday night this lanky 16 year old comes in and just looks uncoordinated. He also looks dorky as hell. I mean, I felt sorry for him, just wanted to help him out. Especially since you could tell he was severely lacking any sense of self confidence. Anyway he gets on the treadmill and starts running, which was quite a site in itself, then all of sudden his feet fly out from under him, he goes spread eagle and BAM! Falls flat on his face and then the treadmill shoots him off into the bikes behind it! I could just hear the treadmill smile and say "yeah bitch, respect my authority...". I almost pissed myself laughing.

Not as humourous as a lot of the stories on her, but I've been dying to add one to the thread.
I'm squating last night. I'm working for a new PR for the week. I start with sets of 3 and build my way up.
A female trainer is training one of her perpetually flabby clients. She's got the client standing on one of those half swiss balls(Half the swill ball, none of the benefit, yay!) and doing curls.
She observes me squating deep with more weight that any of her clients(but a small amount of weight compared to more advanced lifters) and comes over to advised me that it is dangerous. I responded that danger is relative and I'm more than confident in my ability to squat saftely.
She replied that I wasn't even doing the right amount of reps to "lean out" anyway. I thanked God I wasn't on some heavy cycle and politely respond that she is wrong to assume that everyone in the gyms fitness goals center around leaning out with high rep schemes. I continued on to explain that I'm looking to develop strength through better muscle fiber recruitment and contitioning my CNS.
Her response? blank stare, then a silent walk back to her client. I consider the matter victoriously resolved and with out incident. Then as I walk out I'm stopped by one of the senior trainers looking to discuss "the problem in the weight room". The little bitch told on me for simply wanting to be left alone. I told the head trainer that she had chosen to give me advice when I didn't want it. The head trainer shoots back that they're "trying to keep things safe out there".
My patience officially gone I get some tone in my voice and tell him his trainers are too brain dead to keep a bowl of jello safe, much less an exercise facility. I tell him I'm more than able to maintain my own safety while lifting and if that is a problem with his trainers I will have no choice but to demand a refund for the month and will find somewhere else to train.
More a rant than a funny story, but that is the stupidest thing I've encountered in the gym for a long time.

Another one guys. I think that the stupidest thing in the gym is the couples that participate in "synchronized training". Anybody whose has seen this will atest to it's stupidity. "Synchronized training" sounds like an Olympic sport, but oh no my fellow iron bros, this is much more extreme. It involves two or more duschebags, normally a man and woman, but sometimes it's the same gender, performing an exercise in the same manner at the same time and on the same tempo. For example, the loving couple will be doing biceps curls to the same unheard beat. Going up and down at the same time, stopping at the same number of reps, and many times doing the same weight.... But hey, they're looking to "tone"...

funniest thing ever was this cat that used to come in wearing a party hat, you know the cone shaped hat with an elastic chinstrap. he would run sideways on the treadmill for an hour at a time, no shit.

The stupidest thing I have seen in a long time was a guy dressed in short sleeve spandex bike shirt that zips up at the neck, the kind that you see Lance Armstrong wearing. I was in front of the dumb bell rack when the guy walks over and picks a 2.5 dumb bell and starts doing forehands and backhands with it for 30 and 40 reps.

All of a sudden, I hear a boom and I see the guy slip on the treadmill. It's like I'm watching this in slow motion. His legs go out from underneath him. He manages to grab the handlebar on the front of the tread mill and is hanging on like someone hanging on to the bumper of a car going 30 miles an hour. His legs are flailing around trying to get some footing and WHAM, the treadmill grabs the bottom of his sweat pants and off they come!!

We've got this kid in my gym we call MAD DOG. He's about 110lbs at 30% BF. He's always posing in the mirrors and saying he's got the best body in the gym and that the women can't keep thier eyes off of him.
Every week this kid finds new and creative ways to fall off of the rack that we use to do hyper extensions on. The first time he was eyeing this chick and tryed to spin up onto the rack, in that cool James Dean fashion and spun right off the other side. Not two minutes later he did the same thing again. Next time ther's no counter weight and when he starts down the whole rack falss right on top of him. he then proceeds to 6 45's onto the rack. This has gone on for months Every week he falls off the rack.
last week he was adjusting the pegs you put your ankles under to hold you up.(God only knows why) We watched him try to put the pin back in and when he couldn't figure it out he just put it in his pocket. The he jumps up on the rack leans forward really fast, the support flys off he hits the floor and the support nails him in the back of the head.
Knocked his ass out cold for about 2 minutes.

Ok, I have one more...This happened so long ago that the guy I was in the gym with at the time had to remind me of it.
I think it was my sophomore year in college at UMASS. I used to go with my roommate to his gym off campus because it had better equipment than our gym at school. It was a good gym but trips there were infrequent mainly because it was small and usually filled with this group of 8-10 morons at all times that hogged all the equipment. I am talking chicken legged MF's with the orange fake tans and MC Hammer zebra pants.
So this one particular evening the group was over using the squat racks admiring themselves. One them then decides to announce to all his buddies that he was going to go for “his squat record” or something along those lines. So this freak in his itty bitty running shorts (I remeber the shorts he was wearing, you will see why) begins to stack plate after plate, I would say a good 405.
He looks a bit concerned as he squats under the bar and sure enough he had good reason. He drops down with the weight on his shoulders and his face turns more red than usual. He starts to come back up from his 1/2 squat and all of the sudden he freezes. The next thing you see is $h!t running down his legs and he hasn’t fully pressed the weight all the way back up so he can’t get it back on the rack. Now at this point some of his buddies are laughing and some are horrified, but none of them go near him to help him. So after about 15 seconds of this he finally collapses, the weight and the bar goes flying everywhere and this guy flops on his a$$, rolling around in his own shit.
That was a good one.

I think it was my sophomore year in college at UMASS. I used to go with my roommate to his gym off campus because it had better equipment than our gym at school. It was a good gym but trips there were infrequent mainly because it was small and usually filled with this group of 8-10 morons at all times that hogged all the equipment. I am talking chicken legged MF's with the orange fake tans and MC Hammer zebra pants.
So this one particular evening the group was over using the squat racks admiring themselves. One them then decides to announce to all his buddies that he was going to go for “his squat record” or something along those lines. So this freak in his itty bitty running shorts (I remeber the shorts he was wearing, you will see why) begins to stack plate after plate, I would say a good 405.
He looks a bit concerned as he squats under the bar and sure enough he had good reason. He drops down with the weight on his shoulders and his face turns more red than usual. He starts to come back up from his 1/2 squat and all of the sudden he freezes. The next thing you see is $h!t running down his legs and he hasn’t fully pressed the weight all the way back up so he can’t get it back on the rack. Now at this point some of his buddies are laughing and some are horrified, but none of them go near him to help him. So after about 15 seconds of this he finally collapses, the weight and the bar goes flying everywhere and this guy flops on his a$$, rolling around in his own shit.

A few months ago some guy was benching a little too much weight without a spotter or any clips. On his last rep one of his arms was so much higher then the other that the weights slipped off one side. Someone else saw this and came running over to help, but he was a little too late. By the time he got there the cause and effect of the weights falling off of one side resulted in the olympic bar flying up and drilling him right in the face. His nose and teeth all bloodied and broken. depending on your sense of humor it's either funny or just too bad. I just felt bad for the guy that got wacked since he was just trying to help the idot that couln't control his weight.

There's a guy at my gym with the imaginary lat syndrome who just walks around trying to out-lift everyone, it dosen't matter what muscle group..
But that dosen't annoy me as much as people STRETCHING LEGS AFTER DOING TRICEPS..... gah

the dumbest thing i've seen:
theres a guy who wants to be a wrestler, paints his face and acts like hes in the ring 24/7, he does his set, incline bench, 185lbs. he gets off the bench, takes his shirt off, twirls it over his head and starts yelling "whoo whoo whoo, no juice in this moose"
dumbass, no one would argue with that, he should try a couple cycles!
