What the hell is it with peeople on this forum and the slitting of throats?
Unless you’ve personally done it, i don’t think you can tell others to.
On that note videos or it didn’t happen!

Hungry/Polo- See this is why I keep to myself on this subject, and whenever they’re talking “gym stuff” I go into my room and close my door because I’m not going to waste my breath. However, on that particular day, my door was open, and they came TO ME legitimately asking ME for advice, so, I offered my knowledge. However, I should have just told him to switch to NO Xplode. I’m sure that suggestion would have sufficed in said scenario.[/quote]
Oh I understand lol.
But at this point, I’ve got most of my conversations with non-serious trainees down to a script haha.
Thanks to the warm weather douchebaggery in the gym is up, worst thing so far was the guys curling in the squat rack who after putting 3 10lbs plates on each side decided to put 45lbs plates on, on the outside of the 3 10lbs plates still on the bar. No they didn’t curl it, just one set of some weird full body bent over row and then walked off. Same guy always throws the dumbbells off the rack and rolls them across the floor.
Why do douchebags always come in groups of three, does anyone know?

With 1, there is no alpha dog.
With 2, thats just ghey, two guys sweating it out?
With 3, you have spotters for each side of your curl, and you can stripset for the burn.
With 4, there are too many dicks.

I was doing step ups on a bench yesterday, and about halfway through my set I see on of the gym admin come walking towards me. So I look away hoping he won’t try to talk to me, but when he gets there he starts saying something. So, I put the dumbbells down on the bench. Apparently he was saying “Don’t put the dumbbells on the bench”, because then proceeded to lecture me about damaging the upholstery. I felt rather annoyed, so I (politely) asked him not to interrupt people during their sets. I was annoyed because prior to being interrupted during my set I hadn’t actually ever put the dumbbells on the bench.
And no… I didn’t slit his throat.[/quote]
This is hilarious. I was told that deadlifting would lead to me breaking the weights. Not that it is impossible, but shit they are made out of solid metal.
I wanted to pull my headphones out my ears and say “Not now chief, I’m in the fucking zone” then put them right back in and continue on.

One less mystery to keep me up at night. Thank you.

That explains it, thanks.
more gym hyper creativity:
Guy has set up a rebook step in the hammer strength deadlift machine and was using it for bench press. Weird thing was that there was a hammer strength bench machine not 5’ away.
I have a hard time believing that that school system is killing creativity in kids when i see this shit.

Slightly tilted, almost hammer grip bench (DB’s) hits my pecs much better than BB benching with a conventional grip.
That actually looks like an interesting set up.
We don’t have one of those machines though.
Yesterday some guy in the gym where I train (Amsterdam) was doing power jerks. Loaded up one side while talking to his buddy, loaded up the other side while still talking. At this point, people in the gym, especially his buddy, were getting more interested. Buddy man encouraged him to go for it, he got his chest under the bar, elbows up, looked very nice! Lifted the bar up, got katapulted to one side, gravity is a bitch when 1 side is loaded with 25 extra kg’s, droppped some plates there, and then got a less then gentle pull from the plates on the other side. still on his feet, empty bar on his chest, he got three reps out, then reracked the bar.
And jes, that was me…
Here is my latest one.
I’ve been to sick to workout for a week, but my friends convinced me to go for a gay crosstraining session with them today. I might just run off and do my own thing, but where they are going has fairly little in the way of plates (i’m not even sure if they’ll have enough to do a meaningful pre-exhaused overhead press… )
so if where we were going had a squat rack, I’m sure they would curl there.
this is depressing…
hopefully though it’ll help me prepare myself for legs on monday, but i am expecting that i will be reduced to tears by there poorly structured mens health magazine gay ass program.
EDIT
they even want to do an hour of cardio afterwards… WTF?
Let me just start by saying I’m totally blind.
So I was doing power cleans and in between sets, this older guy comes over and says, all dramatic like “you’re amazing.” Oh yeah, it was acompanied by a hug plus a quick back rub/pat.
Another time, I was squatting and I was told that I was “strong for a blind person.”

If you can curl more than the person waiting to use the rack can squat does that change anything?

I say no. They can go curl somewhere else.
The only exception is if they can curl more than they can deadlift, and thus cannot lift the curl bar from the floor … or they are injured and unable to lift the weight from the floor.

How can you read this if you’re blind? do you have something to read it aloud for you?

Agreed. Lame.
We have several kegs with varying amounts of water or sand in them. The first one I tackled was a half keg weighing around 117#. I had never cleaned anything except a bar, so I tried to clean the keg in the same way. Failed.
My buddy said that I needed to bump it with my stomach to give it some arch, as I would not be able to drop my elbows beneath it the way I would with a bar. So, I try again… and slam my groin full force into that keg.
I have a pretty good hip snap, so I slammed my junk into that keg hard enough to give it some arch and get it cleaned. Then I press it, drop it, collapse on the platform, and weakly ask for a gatorade from the cooler. I used it to ice my junk for the next ten minutes in the locker room. :\
