We have no idea what the difference in size was. Plus, do you really expect to ever get in a fight in the gym.[/quote]
The aggressor is approx 6’2 260 lbs i’d say
no idea on the 19 yo
Three kids maybe high school age doing bench press, 1 of them taking video/pics with a camera phone while the other 2 attempt to bench 225. The attempt is one of the classic slow the bar from falling and crushing your chest then bounce it up a few inches before the spotter had to help with the rest.
Guy doing incline pushups on a bar laying on the safety rails of a squat rack. The SRC part was each rep looked like he was doing the worm.
Another guy always wears a bandana, tank top and MC hammer pants and kind of looks like a pirate. Can’t decide if hes SRC or just badass.

Doing my workout today and looking around in between sets. I see a trainer working with two women. One of them is pregnant the other not, both about 30 years old, moms. But I was really impressed because he was showing them how to deadlift. And they had I think 135 doing about 10 reps. I’m thinking “Nice, for once they’re not showing someone how to do tricep kickbacks.”
Continue working out.
Later, same trainer working with a guy about 45 to 50 years old. Again, teaching him how to deadlift. Cool, teach them right. Then I see he’s deadlifting the same weight the pregnant lady had earlier. I saw the trainer when I was leaving.
Me: Where you going to tell that dude he was deadlifting as much as a pregnant lady?
Trainer: No but I should have, he kept complaining about it the whole time.
Trainer: And both of those ladies did more reps than him.[/quote]
Pregnant woman deadlifted 135 lbs for reps? How far along was she?[/quote]
Yeah seriously pregnant enough to show that really is not good.
Trainer clearly not doctor.

A while ago, some bandana wearing guy started doing the typical 1/4 (if I’m generous) rep squats in the Smith.
Worked his way (ok hardly worked) up and decided to load 250kg/550lbs onto the bar.
Some guy warned him he doesn’t belong under anywhere near that amount of weight and that he could hurt himself. The guy carried on regardless. He unhooked the bar and proceeded to do even more shallow reps than previously seen. He finished, turned the bar back to hook it, didn’t realise it wasn’t on the catches properly, then tried to walk out, only to have the full force of gravity bringing down the wrath of 550lbs down on his back, almost folding him up like an accordion, breaking his back.
Oh I forgot to mention, he left a bench right infront of where he was squatting. Smashed his face up on it on the way down, definitely not for the faint hearted.
Everyone rushed over to pull the weights off him (although I sort of wanted to take pictures and post them up everywhere to try and detract the other retards from doing dumb shit) and he was taken out on a stretcher.
Everyone has been talking about it since. I don’t wish harm on anybody but I hope his fuck up might make even just a few people there that day think about what they are doing from now on.
Few days ago, some guy was actually hogging the squat rack for 30 minutes doing curls with not just one barbell, but two. And no, not the smaller ones that come in different non removeable weights, these were two of only 3 olympic barbells in my gym. I came back to use the rack when I needed it a little while later to find both bars, loaded with weights, on top of each other on the floor in front of the rack. Raged.[/quote]

story i heard about a friend of a friend at the gym
he is a big guy, short temper
He was using the bench, went to get water but held up in conversation, 10 minutes away from the bench
a 19 yo kid, takes the plates off the barbell and takes the bench
the friend of a friend comes back the bench, and bitch slaps the kid, twice.
the kid tells management but says please don’t call the cops
well the kid’s parents found, went back to the gym and demanded they call 911
cops seize a video tape showing the assault
(we have vid cameras in the gym???)
the Gym loses 4 members, the kick out the friend of a friend, the 19 yo kid quits the gym, his girl quits, his buddy who witnessed the assault quits.
Please don’t leave your weights sitting there for 10 minutes, especially when the gym is busy.
[/quote]
More like don’t slap an innocent kid who made an honest mistake. What a d bag that dude is.
[/quote]
Not even a mistake, if a dumbass is not using the weights and isnt close to it then by all means I’m taking it.
We go to the gym to workout not have a fuckin coversation.

Why is that not good? Has there been any research to show this is bad? Any theories as to why this could be bad?
Note: I really have no idea, and I’m curious about this.

There was a study done where around 50 very pregnant women were asked to deadlift a 1 rm lift; in about half the cases the fetuses were sent squirting across the gym. It’s science!

LOL nice. But seriously, does anyone know anything about pregnant chicks lifting? My wife deadlifts pretty much every week and we’ll probably be having kids at some point so this would be good to know.

She should probably talk it over with her OB/GYN; they probably have standard advice they give for heavy lifting and exercise.

“standard advice” is what I’m afraid of… most doctors don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to exercise.

Women can lift well into their pregnancy. At the gym I frequent, one of the owner’s wife who is pregnant deadlifting. Hell she even went to lift at elitefts in ohio doing box squats with dave tate and matt kroc
Yesterday at the gym two bros:
“You know, I don’t end my chest workout until I can’t touch my elbows together”
MFW I haven’t ever been able to touch my elbows together.
Hippie looking dude today at my gym moved the benches out of the way in front of the dumb bell rack and then proceeded to take the bar off the flat bench and do back squats with the empty bar in front of the dumb bells while the SQUAT rack that was 5 feet away was unused.

I would ask someone that treats a lot of lifters for various physical issues (you know who I mean). Combine that with info from an OB and make what you think is a balanced decision. Too many people treat pregnancy like an illness that causes immediate frailty the minute the egg is fertilized.
I won a three legged race with my friend slung over my hip for speed when I was 8 months pregnant with my older daughter. I’m highly motivated by prizes. By contrast, I had a tough time even walking with my younger daughter. There’s a lot of variables.
