OK, got one to beat all your gym crimes stories. Before I post this one let me also say that I have seen many people using the machines wrong, reading magazines while using the machines.
This one beats all of the things I’ve seen at the gym. I saw this a week ago but I am just now getting to post it.
I was in the weight room and I walked out to the door to where the cardio equip and wall-mounted tv’s are. I usually check whats on tv and see who’s doing cardio between sets. I look out to the elliptical machines and I see something amazing. A woman has her laptop computer strapped to the elliptical machine where people normal put their magazine or book. Now initially I thought she was maybe watching a movie on it. But no, she was very actively web surfing on it. Holding the handle of the machine with the left hand and surfing with the right.
I had to snap a picture of it. My phone’s camera sucks but you can still see it.
There is lots of thread about gym crime, we should make one for all the stories
unrelated but last session the reception girl came to me to ask If I could stop dropping DB (I was dropping 1 of 2 on DB military press). She opened ''Are the one dropping dumbells ? ‘’ I was the only one in the gym. I said ‘‘I cant say if it was me, I dont know’’
No, the top gym crime is the naked old guy who used to lean in to the counter while shaving his face at the gym I used to train at. Since when is resting your junk on the sink an acceptable practice?

That shits a crime. Saw a guy in the locker room today who had his shirt buttoned and was tying his tie but naked from the waste down, underwear first please.

There were three guys at my university’s gym last week, DB benching. They dragged the bench right in front of the dumbbell rack and rested their feet on the still in the rack while benching. I don’t think I need to elaborate on this stupidity.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but putting a bench in front of 120 + DBs is hardly a gym crime. I’m trying to DB bench, not do a farmers walk. What’s next? Rolling them to the bench a gym crime too? Feet in the rack? Dumb. Putting bench in front of heavy bells - not dumb.

I’ve done that on the treadmill at home, it REALLY helps pass the time on boring ass cardio.[/quote]
I haven’t personally done this, but I hit up the treadmills with the TVs on them whenever I go to the gym.
Cardio sucks ass, especially when done for 45 minutes, or so. As long as you aren’t too absorbed in what you are doing to realize you are only walking 20 feet or pedaling 14 times per minute, who gives a fuck.
I fail to see what the problem with this is, outside of the fact that the OP has too much time on his hands. The bird was using the machine and not interfering with any other members workout in the slightest. Who cares?
To the OP: next time you are going to be a weirdo in your gym, at least get a better ass shot out of it.

There used to be a guy at my old gym who worked out in denim overalls. Not a crime, but weird.
Haha, there is a guy at my gym that works out in overalls, workboots, but no shirt under his overalls. If he wasnt kind of big Id point in laugh…[/quote]
Dude, that shit is actually a decent outfit. It may be a 1990-1995 Jodeci inspired type of outfit, but truth be known…if your muscles are big enough, you can wear ANYTHING.
I mean, just look at Ronnie Coleman’s yellow spandex training pants. Can ANY other human get away with that?
I also knew an NPC competitor who competed at around 240lbs who used to wear the jean overalls with no shirt…and no one said shit. They just stared…and took pictures.
