Damn some funny shit here. I LOVE these threads, I can’t deny. Very good contributions everybody…
I have a new guy at my gym. I’ll call him “hairy ego guy”. If anyone ever questions the veracity of the National Enquirer, I will take a picture of him and post it. He’s like a chubby little bigfoot.
Anyway, I wouldn’t have a problem with Chewbacca if he would just stop being so damn funny. Yesterday I nearly busted a gut when he “ego curled” some DB’s that were obviously WAY too much for him to handle. Neck veins bulging mightily, his face turning dark purple, he let out a guttural animal snarl as he struggled to heft each rep, contorting and twisting the rest of his body back and forth until he wrestled the weight somewhat up. How he survived a single set without giving himself a cerebral aneurysm I will never know. I guess the vascular system of the North American yeti can withstand that much pressure.
Maybe I’ll call him “purple hairy ego guy” instead.

Lol! Hardly. This is Scottsdale so it’s almost exclusively preppy gearheads. The parking lot is full of Escalades on 24s, Beamers, and the occasional Lotus or Ferrari.
There is this one guy the comes into the gym I call hernia man. Now he just does the O-lifts. He even brings in his own bench. Well the reason why I give him the name is he has the wind shorts on belly hanging over his weight belt. Trying to pull to much weight on DL with a rounded back and yells until he is almost blue in the face. Gets half way up then slams it to the ground like he just pulled a PR at a meet reajusts his grip and does another just like the first. To make it even worse is he trains his girl friend. Every time I see him the same thing.
UPDATE-
Yesterday I am at the park throwing ball for the dog, swinging 2 year olds through the air, and here come sunburnt skinny dude and hairy boy. They actually came over to me and said I looked strong the other day. I thanked them for the compliment and the entertainment. I made mention that I will be a regular at that time of day for the next couple weeks and wouldn’t mind “spotting” them if they could manage to bring decent music. We’ll see how it goes.
A man was in the gym training his two teenage sons. Teaching them really poor form on the bench press. Then he askes one of the trainers what excersises can be done to work the muscle between here and here.
With his index finger he was pointing at the bottom of the bicep muscle and his thumb was on the top of the forearm muscles.

There’s this kid at my gym (probably 16, maybe 17).
He’ll do curls with 10lb DBs at a pretty normal cadence, then he’ll totally disappoint me by doing DB flat bench with just about the same weight and WAY TOO FAST. [/quote]
Are there no women at the gym? Does the boy not see women doing curls with more wieght then he’s doing?
Well as we all know school is out of session. So this now means the gym is packed with skinney kids trying to impress each other. Man, I can tell I am going to get some good stories this summer.
So yesterday I’m working chest. After reading these forums I am always on the look out folks doing squats on the curl rack…yeah you know who you are. It just so happens that this mass of muscle and fur is doing box squats with more then the combined weight of the kids that are waiting to do some curls. Mr. Mass ain’t budging. They go away. It’s about this time that I move to the decline bench. The bar is GONE! WTF? I look over and these morons removed the bar from the decline bench, have it balanced on a flat bench, and are now attempting to do 21’s. Needless to say I was mad as hell. I was already pissed because I had to listen to all the yelling and lughing they were doing.
So I did what any T-man would do in this case. I walked over and took it from them and pointed to stand that holds all of the curls bars (and yes there were even a few straight bars on that rack).

Am I getting any warmer???[/quote]
My fave pic is the one when they are all on their cell phones. Who the fuck are these guys and where are they from?
No, these guys are real playas, not posers. My favorite guy color coordinates his outfits. I kid you not. He has shorts, shirts, bandanas, and shoes in red, green, blue, orange, pink, black, and yellow. Freakin huge guy. But who DOES that?
“Yo… check out Blade’s phat Eclipse, totally kitted out.”
WHAAAT? It’s got shit but decals. There’s no aftermarket kit. He’s got a stock front bumper, no side skirts, stock thumbnail spoiler and stock tails. If he was a real balla baby, he’d at least be sportin’ altezas.
I’m still trying to figure out how hopped up jap cars qualify as “stuntaz”? I thought that one was reserved for squids on motorcycles riding wheelies at insane speed with their feet on the handlebars.

But I’m waiting to witness another ‘skull crusher back-flip’. [/quote]
I’ll admit to having done a cross-bench pullover back flip. It was my first time doing the exercise, and I didn’t realize that it needed to be the upper back across the bench, not the middle back. Needless to say, when I lowered the weight with straight arms (only 35 pounds), it pulled me right over.
The kicker? I already had a decade of successful training under my belt at the time, was a former collegiate national bodybuilding champion in the INBF, and had a reputation at my gym as the trainer who knew his shit. I just clearly didn’t know how to do pullovers.
