This, I support.
I was in the seperate heavy weightroom today (it might as well have a sign that says resolutioners/soccer moms need not enter) and there were two high school kids in there deadliftingâŠWellllll they were deadlifting 135, in muscle shirts, and grunting as loud as possible. The one fatass was obviously new to DLing and asked the beanpole to critique his form. The fatass bends down with locked knees, picks up the bar with the straps and jerks his back upwards. The beanpole looks at him smiling and says, âthat was perfectâ. I wasnt sure whether the borderline homo comment or the fatassâs form was worse.

I thought that was me for a minute there.
Tonight I saw a middle Eastern guy and an Asian guy doing curls on the hammer strength machine while I was doing iso-lateral rowsâŠthen I saw the Asian kiss his biceps, then he looked up and saw I was looking at him and got really red in the face.
I saw a kid doing machine crunches and in between reps his friend would punch him in the stomach while another friend looked on. I stood there for a good two minutes with my mouth agape just staring at them.
some dude was doing shoulder mobility stuff and busted his finger open on a pulldown bar, blood everywhere.
it was me
Curling the bar in the only cage in my gym, while I sat next to him after throwing my belt in front of him.

Watch it with the belt next time, you almost made me lose mah pump!
Guy working out on the smith machine. Talking really loud about how strong he was feeling after being off a couple weeks. He proceeds to load up three 45s on each side of the smith and do 1/2 rep bench press. When he finished he was totally pumped.
Lots of gym time over the holidays. Saw plenty of 1/4 squatting and all kind of stupid shit in the squat rack. Worst was a couple guys shruging the bar with a belt on.
Yesterday I notice a guy in his 40âs who was doing medicine ball decline sit ups with a 30 something cougar and possibly her 20 something daughter. Well this guy doesnât know shit about shit (he is a regular, but an idiot). So MILF sits down on the decline sit up bench ready to receive the medicine ball and idiot smokes a chest pass type throw right into her face, PRICELESS I literally LOLâed but felt bad for her.
2nd installment was the first time I had ever seen this âMilitary Bench Curlsâ, I just happened to have my phone with me in the gym (usually never) and had to snap a shot of these jokers.
noticed a rail-thin dude running around in a tight under-armour outfit.
figured heâd do smth entertaining.
kinda hard to describe what he was doing exactly, but smht along these lines.
he grabs a 20 lb dumbbell standing next to the bench.
sorta hops up on the bench trying to press the dumbbell in process. lands with one foot on the bench, completes the press, steps off the bench on a different side, repeats.
yesterday was my deadlift day and luckily the only spot to deadlift in our weight room gives the perfect view to observe everyone else. two kids walk in with a copy of some generic menâs health magazine and start doing the routine listed in the pages, which started off with âisometric bicep curls.â as iâm loading up to pull 405 one of the kids asks me âyo dude are you going to lift that whole thing?â
yep, the whole thing
I saw three different black dudes wearing those sweat jackets last nightâŠthe garbage bag looking things. One of them looked like he was going to die.
saw a guy step up to the squat rack last night. The rack already had a bar with 45s on it from previous lifter. Instead of taking off the 45s the guy goes and gets an unloaded bar from a bench and does half barbell curls with some serious negatives for a few random sets.
Caught him flexing in the mirror with those little arms. He saw me wathcing and got embarassed and moved to the smith maching where he did micro chins for a few randoms. The last time I saw him he was pumping it out with bands to really exhaust those tiny biceps.

Love it
So today in the gym I was THAT guy- the one that unloads only one side of the Oly bar, and watches the whole thing flip up into the air and land on the floor.
Thankfully, I had it set on the pins in the power rack, and since only about three other people in the gym use the power rack or adjacent squat rack, there was nobody nearby.
I just casually pulled the bar out of the plate stack and acted like nothing out of the ordinary had just happened.
Today, between a low row-face pull superset, I caught some kid trying to steal the handle off of the rower whilst I was spotting a friend 10ft away. When I asked him why he was trying to take the handle rather than work in with me, he informed me that it was âbecause that machine is broken, you canât change the weightâ.
He couldnât figure out how to push the button to release the pin from the weight stack. People like this should not even be allowed in the gym; they could hurt everyone else.

Fâing incredible. Absolutely incredible.
There was a guy in the gym today who was doing standing military barbell presses. Seems like he couldnât quite get the last rep all the way, so he paused and rested the bar on the top of his head! Paused for a second like that and then gave the bar a bit of a boost to finish off that last rep.
Thankfully I had a bandana on so it provided my head a little protection.
Planet fatness would never allow such gang attire!
