I hate it when people walk next to my bar as I’m trying to squat or deadlift. I’m waiting for them to bump into it and destroy my back. I actually had one kid leaning against my racked bar when I was squatting, I had to ask him to please lean elsewhere.
I once hit a guy with the weight peg on a leg press. Despite me being in the middle of a set, he though it would be a good idea to come over and start grabbing 45’s off the bottom of the machine. I guess he was in too much of a rush to wait until I was done with my set. He looked at me like I was the asshole in that situation.[/quote]
No man you have it all wrong you are supposed to let the weight drop down on you while this guy gets his 45…what the hell.

I see that a lot. I never quite figured out what the hell they were doing, but I’ve seen it enough that I forgot it was weird. Maybe a warmup movement? I hope?

I do “steering wheel” lifts with a 25lb plate where I just grip it like a steering wheel and lift it up and down…rotating it might also work the shoulders somehow, who knows? I try not to knock exercises before I try them, sometimes the craziest shit does work.

Hohoho now that’s dethrones curls in a power rack!
so theres this lady in her mid 40s at my gym, probly weighs 120 saoking wet. she moves from machine to machine and doesnt use a single one correctly. Heres what i got to watch. If you can picture this.
Incline chest press. She stands up off this seat intoa qauter squat postion with her arms locked out, then proceeds to slid down the back of the bench into a sitting postion while bending at the waist/back and pushing the weight outward with her arms locked. i counted 3X10
then to the ab machine. lots of body english. ass comes off the seat, with her lower back against the pad, then slams her body forward and her ass down. again 3 x 10.
then on the lat pull down. agains, stands to quarter squat, slams her ass down and leans back as far as possible while pulling the bar in. It pretty much the same for the horozontal row machine. it looks like she practicing for crew. haha. then on to dumbbell curls as fast as possible with plenty of body english.
i brought this lady to the attention of the trainers. they said they already tried to help her but she didn’t want their advice. freakin classic

I fixed that once really well. I do martial arts that involves lots of rolling and falling. So, as part of my training I set up some mats away from everyone else, got it all ready and some girl with an iPod on shuffles over and plops down in the middle of my setup. I tell her I just set it up and politely ask her to move. She snarkily tells me she can stretch there. I think for a second. I figure I can work out, she just might not like it. “Ok, mind if I still work out?” That’d be fine. So with here on the floor doing a hamstring stretch I trot off the mat come in at a run from the side and do an aerial right over her, landing neatly on the other side. Boy did she leave fast.
That’s how you deal with them. If they have a right to be there, oh, hey, so do you…

I was doing bench on a Monday(I fucking hate bench on Monday b/c its everyone GD bench day) and this older guy comes in and just kinda stands around the bench that im on looks at me then starts looking around.
He sets down his water jug and goes and gets a mat, lays it out and props his feet up on one of the other benches and starts doing crunches.
I can tell he is waiting to use the bench that Im on, even though there are 3 other open benches(including the one he is using for situps). So I take my sweet ass time, I add a few reps to each set and add 2 or 3 more sets just to fuck with him. As soon as im done he jumps up and gets on the bench.
Really guy?
[/quote]
I avoid benching on Mondays if at all possible for this very reason.
I have witnessed a phenomenon recently that is new to me.
there’s a guy who wears one of those “valeo” leather lifting belts and never tightens it. It just sort of hangs off of him the whole time, he could probably bring it in about 4 notches before it would do anything at all.
he looks very confused about my lever belt too.
Perhaps the wierdest thing ive ever seen was about 2 months ago.
Now the guy in question is already known in the gym as a huge muff. Comes in looking no better, year after year with this im the shit quazi grin on his face.
Normally he deos benches 1 plate, plate and 25, 1 and 35, plate 35 and a 25, then a plate, 35, and two 25s on each side. Now keep in mind this guy maybe could really get 225 for a solid rep. But this is his workout everyday, 3 1/3 reps with his feet in the air.
ANYWAY this peticular guy strolls over to the lat machine the other day. Now if you can envision this this HAS to be the most retarted thing youve ever heard.
Instead of putting his legs underneath the pads, he loads the stack up to the max hangs on to the bar, walks UP the area where the weight stack is so that he is SOMEWHAT upside down, and then proceeds to do some wierd ass row.
5 minutes later i heard him talking to some 16 yr old kid about how bad ass he is and how hes done all this crazy shit.
The other thing is this guy that consitently goes into the powerrack adn does three way flies, then pex stretches. I always ask this guy how mayn sets hes got left, but this peticular day i was in the middle of my workout and had to get in there.
So he goes ya i got three sets left, so ill be done in about 10 minutes. So im like are you not resting between those sets>? and he looks at me like well ya, so i go ok well lets work intogether. And he goes well im almost done, just 10 more minutes.
Anyway i finally had to be like buddy, i work here and you are going to either share or get out of there, then he got pissed and complained to my boss and we laughed about the story after…

He took his time to set up mats, and politely asked her to move. How does that make him a douche when she refused to take her stretching elsewhere, when it can be done anywhere?
Did you miss the part where he did a Red Ranger over the bitch?

Today I did curls on the deadlifting platform, and i used chalk! Before I get shit on:
- nobody was in the lifting room
- I was using the “el gordo” fat bar from eliteFTS
- 3 sets of 7 reps with 95lbs.
It was kind of like a dirty/forbidden pleasure. Made sure nobody was in the room… I also took off my large t-shirt and finished the sets in my wifebeater[/quote]
You are so fucking hot I wouldn’t care if you did curls in teh squat rack all day. Those rainbow socks you wear drive me insane.
Check your pm

I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider reality (in bed)

Lemme see, I set up the mats far (a lot of work shlepping them) away from anyone else, so she had to travel to get there. I asked her nicely to leave, tried to make it clear I was going to be doing tumbling and then, after she refused to budge, asked her permission to train – having to yell at her over her iPod the whole time. She had some seriously bitchy tude going on. This is what so fundamentally ticked me off. I swear she’d go sit in the middle of the freeway and think she’s justified in doing it.
FWIW I am a very topnotch athlete and believe me, I wasn’t doing this in any way that would endanger her. Surprise her, yes. Hurt her, never. (I actually was training doing these with a 35 lb. plate at the time, so doing it without the weight was easy.)
So tell me, if you had just carted all your equipment to the ends of the Earth, had your warmup out of the way and she plopped down in the middle of it all, what would you do? What about when she gives you lip that she has a right to stretch there and won’t budge? What about when she turns up her music purposely to drown you out?

I’d ‘accidentally slip’ with the weight 
Na man you’re justified here, should have got it on a video though for our enjoyment
