I read an article on here a while back, that had to do with pet peeves in the gym. This one is about the kind of crap you hear and/or see that make you just wonder, “what the fuck…?” I’d like to see what other people have seen and heard in their own gyms. I’ll start off listing a couple…
So, I’m in the gym and a former classmate of mine walks up to me and asks if I can help him out with a lifting program. (Mind you, this kid is around 5’7" and 130lbs) “What are you looking to accomplish? Size, strength, or fat loss?” I ask. He replies, “Well, I don’t want to get too big.”
Also, the guy(s) at the gym who will squat parallel with a plate. Then add another plate, but raise the safety pins and only go down half way. THEN add a 25lb plate and raise the safety pins again and only go down about a quarter of the way.
This is kinda WTF’ish because it wasn’t the kid that posted the video, but it appears to be his trainer that put it up. Why you’re showing off 1/4 squats and knighting him strongest soccer player ever (or some shit like that) really hit the red on the WTF-o-meter. And somebody needs to explain the double collar concept to me (look closely on the 475).
