I thought when I saw people doing bicep curls while riding the recumbent bike, I thought that was the peak. But I knew that I reached the absolute pinnacle of DUMBEST SHIT IN THE GYM when I saw some guy trying to do a clean and jerk while standing on a Bosu Ball. Whats even worse, was that this exercise was recommend by one of the personal trainers of the gym. FAIL.
i’d hit it.
metaphorically speaking, of course.
incline pressing the 50’s? fuck that’s baller
My gym is the holy grail of fail…I’ve only been there about a month but I see something new and moronic every day.
*Guy doing crunches while leg pressing (witnessed this four times now)
*Guy walking on treadmill with weighted vest carrying one of those cardio weight sticks (as if he were in the military and that was a rifle)
*Fat chick staring at her reflection in mirror while on elliptical- singing, dancing, waving hands wildly (this bitch takes the cake- seriously)
- “Kettle ball madness” - ALL of the personal trainers have some sort of ‘kettle-ball’ “certification”; since new members get free training sessions you see almost EVERYBODY using kettleballs and basing entire workouts around them. Rows, squats, curls, just about every exercise imaginable. We have two floors with 50+ kettleballs…but no smith machine. WTF.
- Horrible form on various machines; everything from 1/8th reps to ‘that hurts my back just watching’.
Not to mention I hear the DUMBEST conversations when I pause my iPod. Some guy who weighed about 165 lbs was eavesdropping on a conversation two bros (again, about 170 lbs) were having, “Oh, I never use free weights. All you really need to do is body-weight training.” First off- he says this while in the middle of doing abs on a roman-chair…while holding on to a 10 lb plate! He realized his mistake and said “oh, except for these you know…” And there I am three times their size doing weighted pull-ups. You think they could’ve put two and two together: Bigger weights=bigger muscles.
I get dizzy from having to roll my eyes so often.
And I’ve never seen ONE person do an ATG squat or even squat with a decent ROM.

everyone posts right after waking up sometimes!
My own video of a woman at my gym. And before you post and say “At least she’s getting some exercise!”, the treadnill is going at 1.0 KPH, that’s less tah 1.0 MPH. She burns about 80 calories in 30 minutes or so that way!
All time classic:
Incline BB press behind the neck!
I kid you not.

Has anyone ever asked her to knock it off? Does she lift or just crazy it up on the treadmill? That’s easily one of the most annoying things I’ve ever seen.
Omg that video is so stupid. I would just leave.
If that’s what she did to the poor treadmill, imagine what she’d do with dumbells or bob forbid, a barbell.
HAHAH…ok well ill be honest i do stupid things. On My Big 3 days (a day where i only focus just on one of the big 3’s Bench Squat Dead) I go nuts. What I do is ill wear the most toolbag shit i got. Mostly a cut off hot pink tee that says like beer pong king or some fucked up shit teamed with my old track running shorts, knee high socks and sacred chucks. Ill see schmucks doing the stuff you guys already posted and ill run up to them and start SHREDDING my air guitar all over there shit to piss them off. Then Ill blast a double bi or some other BB pose I dont know how to do so i look like some idiot who doesnt know how to lift.
So now they think im some dick and start bashing my lifting abilities, then ill just get into killer mode and just demolish whatever lift im doing. My personal favorite is to make sure they watching, blast out 405 dead for a touch and go 5, stand up, smile, and grab two more cookies to throw on. PRICELESS

Tell me you scream when you lift too. Or at least make orgasmic utterances.

You’re referring to the fat cow next to the wacky asian chick, right?
Because the wacky asian chick is DEFINITELY getting some exercise.
DDR and shoryukens take work. And I’m only being half-facetious.

Oh my God…that reminds me EXACTLY of the bitch I mentioned in my post. She does the SAME thing except on an elliptical. I need to take my camera to the gym…
“ugg braw, da dbols is kicking in!” as he grabs the 40lbers for a mean set of hammers. I haven’t seen that done but I have feeling I will soon.
