Dumbest Thing I've Ever Seen in a Weightroom

There’s some dude who used to go to my gym, European guy, didn’t speak much English. Anyway he would do these squats off a pin where he had like a 3 inch range of motion, and go up to like 600 something, do like 3 reps screaming then strut off like he was Mariusz Pudzianowski.

Now I know there are uses for that sort of exercise but I never saw him do any other power movements, just isolation stuff on machines.

One guy at the gym is a competitive Bodybuilder and told him he was doing the exercise wrong and not to use so much weight but he told the BB’er he knew what he was doing. A week later bent he one of the bars and got banned.

Concentration curls.

hahaha, well i dont have any videos of it, but ill be sure to haver one of my buddies undercover that shit so you get full effect. As for screaming, i dont do that anymore. screaming and shit like that just tires me out.

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.[/quote]

my dad does this, and I can’t get him to stop…

saw a guy today in street clothes doing wrist curls with 15 lb dumbbells. and…

saw a guy doing smith machine close grips while laying on a ball

Ive started training late on friday nights.

Im deadlifting, and this group of indian 100lb kids come in, in full “going out” cloths. Bang out sets of 21s and then leave into the night. The pump they got probably made there arms 12inch as opposed to 11.

It happened 3 weeks in a row. Fucking annoying.

cant wait 4 the summer n get swole for the beach WOOOOOOO

that stupid punching motion shit on the cable machine… pisses me off unlike anything else

I saw someone benching once, on the flat bench, with both feet together on the bench, butt off the bench about a foot.

Oh wait, that’s most fags in the gym, every day of the week.

But no, the dumbest thing I’ve seen is a guy doing tricep rope pulldowns with his wrists inverted and his thumbs on bottom.

I’ve actually witnessed an older man taking a 30 minute nap on a bosu ball… which is right next to the free weight section.

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![/quote]
She’s definitely burning more than that, I mean she’s doing spastic spins and leaps and shyt.

So why don’t you take this girl on a date?
She ain’t that cute, so you know she’ll put out, and if she is a spaz like that on treadie what about in the beddie?

I bet you could gag fuck her in the shower and make her say thank you afterwards.

To be honest, there is not a massive amount of dumb shit that goes on in my gym, but what pisses me off the most is that half pullover, half skullcrusher shit. It’s like, IDK what the fuck you think you’re doing, but I’m pretty sure the only thing you’ll acomplish is fucking up your shoulders.

That, and people that curl their entire back on deads. And the classic knee bend squats, that’s every gym.

Haha, yeah for sure dude.

I see a video of 4 people on a treadmill. Two are walking slower than Jason Vorhees. One is going at very slow jog.

The last one is jumping and spinning all over the place doing Street Fighter combos and also appears to be in the best shape of the four. (To be fair, the far left treadmill-user is only partially visible for a moment.)

Does she look ridiculous? Yes. Is she exercising? Hell yeah.

Have you ever has someone barely move the bar like not even hlaf way while benching a lot of weight, and then they give you a look like their ronnie coleman or somethin.
Your avatar pwns.

I saw a guy wearing an x-vest while riding a recumbent cardio bike yesterday.

WTF why is there ‘Barbie Girl’ blasting in the back ground???

WTF kind of gym is that?
