40 lbs? It looks like 1 plate so I was figuring it was 30!
LMAO, nice vid Nards.
I was doing deadlifts from a deficit with my Plateau Buster Swing Handle (awesome piece of equiptment for loadable kettlebell swings and deadlift variations btw) and the gym owner (also my boss) comes over and tells me that he has been training longer then I have been alive and that the movement is simply unsafe and prohibits me from doing them again. According to him I might as well load the smith machine with 7000 pounds and have my friend jump up and down on the bar or run a rope through a trailer hitch and try to pick up a truck. He adds in âif it was safe, they would probably have a machine for it.â
Nards, several people at my gym do lat pulldowns like thatâŠand itâs supposed to be a âhardcoreâ gymâŠ
clearly heâs lat pull kipping. You guys are such newbs.

Strong sock.
Yeah, heâs obviously working his hamstrings. Itâs a cable version of the high pull.
Now you may like this guy whoâs doing Extreme Partials on lat pulldowns:
i was at the gym the other day and some idiot was warming up with a 35 on one side and a 45 on the other. he proceeded to do all of this work sets but the last without noticing the discrepancy.
oh, wait⊠that was me!
also, i was deadlifting the other day and there was this 15 year old kid mean-mugging me from the seated calf-raise machine for about twenty minutes. i didnât see him lifting anything, but i did see him jog in place every time he passed a mirror.
Me and one of the personal trainers were the only two in the dumbbell area and he said to himself out loud before he did a set of curls (I ownât mention the weight he used because youâll think Iâm making it up) âYeah! Câmon! Trust me you can do it!â but in his poorly-accented Taiwanese English.
SInce itâs only me and him and Iâm a foreigner and weâre in Taiwan I guess that was for my benefit.

Asians who speak english as a second language are awesome. Had a guy ask me today where the âinstrument for chest enlargementâ was located.

jogging in place while moving is an art form. dont knock it
My brother just told me the funniest fucking story!!!
He was in the gym and there was a guy doing leg extensions. My brother goes over and asks can he go in between him. The guy, failing to see what my brother meant said, âyeah sureâ and proceeded to open his legs while still sitting on the leg extension.
My brother looked round with a confused face and suddenly the guy realised what he meant and got off.
I was showing a friend how to do band assisted pullups and when he was about half way through his set, the band snapped from under his feet and cracked him right in the twig and berries as he fell to the ground in anguish. Being the good friend I am I immediately started pointing at him and laughing to bring attention from everyone around. Good times

I like how you sneaked that in here!

Only a true friend is willing to laugh at someone while they are in pain without any second thoughts.
This is the biggest fail since shake weight. OH LOOK AT THAT A WALKER FOR DOING DIPS AND CURLS! Seriously though, the only difference between this and a regular walker is that itâs missing tennis balls on the bottom.
