Dumbest Thing I've Ever Seen in a Weightroom

Maybe not dumb but funny…

I live in N.Ireland and this american kid comes into the gym (must have been on holiday i presume). Anyway he gets under the bench press and theres 60kilos on the bar and he gets cruched by it - i have to lift it off the poor kid. He looks a bit red faced and says “oh yeah, you guys use kilos not pounds…” Easy mistake but quite funny.

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 [/quote]

You are a cocky deutchebag but that is amazingly hillarious and awesome.

Front squats but as if it was a zircher…but sort of away from the body,so the delts were taking all the weight.They were struggling their arse off like red in the face arched the wrong way back,when I corrected them they said “are you qualified?” I said “no” they said well “I 'am, I will do it my way” I said you dont look like you have trained a day in your life let alone qualified but anyone can be a personal trainer now a days"!.
Funniest thing about the whole thing is they were doing it on the smith!!!

I was at a gym in Hong Kong, loaded up like, maybe 90kg and started powercleaning. Felt really light. Like, REALLY light. Figured either all the chain-smoking and months off the gym had produced a supercompensation effect, or something was up.

Turns out only half the plates were metric. WTF.

Gay blokes kissing each other after every completed rep on a overhead press

half rep heroes on benching and overhead dumbbell presses drive me nuts

unless you have a bad shoulder, do full reps

got to agree man, its frustrating watching their egos inflate and their muscles stagnate.

When i first started i had a dodgy right shoulder, so i was a ‘hero’ so to speak on bench.

But i did various strengthing exercises and now im full range and smashing it.

I want to explain this to the skinny douchebags at my gym!

I’ve seen that before. It is supposedly a strength and stamani exercise

  1. Guy squatting with a piece of 2x4 under the bar (kinda like a macho pussy pad).

  2. Incline press behind neck, how his shoulders didn’t dislocate I don’t know.

  3. All the tap-dance benchers, you know, the ones that move their feet every rep.

Well I guess there should be more sights to see when term time starts at the Uni gym I lift at.

This’guy’ does this pretty much every day. he IS wearing shorts in this video, but they’re so smal I justFUCK I DON’T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT GODDAMN IT!! Just watch it and then burn your eyes with fire.

Damn His Shorts To Hell! - YouTube [/quote]

Oh boy! U should be a wild nature observer not only gym observer. Jesus! This bald ass is so disgusting that I can’t sleep right now…

Dumbest Things:

1)Happen only once and it wasn’t dumb thing, just funny and disgusting.
Boy with marijuana logo on his T-shirt. Next to him 2 sexiest bitches in gym ever! (nice, long,long legs and first time at our gym;) and near me, my brother and one of the biggest guys in gym.

So our marijuana boy smelled like a SHIT! (I dunno why, he wasn’t dirty, just wearing jeans and stupid T-shirt, skinny like hell and with strange, dirty face) really! what a boy! Oh god! All doors opened and still everyone covered nose in shirts or towel. Everyone stopped training because of the smell. God damn! this boy was a doper I think, I didn’t believe that he is right here, right now!..

After all, when this fucken piece of shit went out mr. Big said to barbies: “Oh girls! this son of a bitch smelled like a buffalo!” and barbies smiled… and just never come back again!.. ;(

  1. 4 times.
    I opened door to my gym and saw 18 years old boy with long, curly hairs and red headband. (looks like Johnny Rambo’s head or Axel’s from Guns’n’Rosses). And his arms! definitely monkey’s arms (never ending, long) and he was trying bench presses with 5kg on each side, obviously pressing them with anger on face and for about 5 reps and 3 sets… what a stupid hippie!

I was at the gym a couple years ago and this Affliction/Ed Hardy motherfucker with like two sweatbands on one wrist, super-gelled out hair and fucking AVIATOR sunglasses on wanted to do some abs. So he grabs a Swiss ball to sit on during cable crunches where he holds the cable’s handles next to his head and curls forward on the ball right?

Well, he must have put too much weight on there or something, because he got all set up, sitting in the upright position, and started to lean back and about 1/4 of the way down, the weight yanked his ass right off the ball and he somersaulted backwards and ended up smashing into the cable machine and stuck upside down on his shoulders and neck with his feet up in the air.

This was right next to all the cardio shit and about ten super-hot chicks saw and started laughing their asses off. I just calmly walked by him, picked up his sunglasses, tossed them toward him and muttered “fucking retard” under my breath. Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

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.

I don’t do strict, bend only at the elbow skullcrushers. I lower the weight to where it would hit me right on top of the head. It’s a lot more comfortable and i use more weight than i do for strict skullcrushers. I have yet to feel any shoulder pain and it always kills my triceps.

Someone doing half squats with more weight than he should have been using with his heels elevated. On dumbbell handles. I swear, I was just waiting for them to roll out from underneath him.

I saw the funniest thing in my gym last week other than the usuals who dont know how to do anything with good form. I saw an old guy (60+) in the gym with baggy bodybuilding pants from the 80’s, a tank top on with flab and skin hanging from every direction with a gold chain and a headband.

The dude had a walkman for cd’s strapped to his arm and for the kicker, he had on 2 white golf gloves for workout gloves. I couldnt hardly workout with this guy in the gym, just the sight of him was too much.

Oh and one not so common, just saw somebody taking the “skull crusher” way too literally few weeks back. Weight the guy was using was obviously too much for him and his elbows were open wide. You would think that somekind of warning bells would start ringing after having serious trouble lifting the weight in to starting position.[/quote]

Was it this guy?

hahahahaha

This dude might take the cake…I’m sure there’s no way this video hasn’t been posted somewhere on this site before, but I’ve never seen it so its new to me:

I’ve had guys needing help to get 60’s into position for overhead presses. And not in the “hey, just give us a bit of help” as in i can’t do this set without them and looking around the gym for his mates.
