Was by a squat rack just stretching and this guy asks me if I’m using it because he wanted to use it for “deep squats”. First I didn’t know “deep squats” was the name of a lift, second I would assume they would at least be below parallel which I was hoped for as he did the first rep so I could make this post.
i have seen 7 people try and squat in the past three days, none managed a decent rep
Then some skinny shit tried to nick one of the plates i had leant against the rack i was using and STANDING IN at the time. then he proceeded to do 1/4 bench reps in the smith
Always love these ones…[skinny] guy at gym, bragging/talking about how much he loves 21’s, and you just REALLY wanna say “I can see how well those are working out for ya”.

There aren’t a lot of heavy lifting women at my gym, so when I see one, I tend to take notice.
This girl was muscular, and ripped - in a t-shirt, I could see the horseshoe of her triceps. She obviously knew her way around a gym.
She didn’t, however, have the good sense to walk around the cage when I was front squatting. She tried to duck under the bar to get something by the wall as I was descending. Knocked me off balance when I clipped the back of her head, but it didn’t hurt anything (on me at least).
I was stunned that someone could look like she did, and have no gym sense whatsoever…[/quote]
Sometimes the pump is sooo good that it takes blood flow away from the brain. Men deal with this issue all the time and so we have coping mechanisims to deal with the loss of blood flow to our brains. For example, if going to a strip club - take cash. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT go to the ATM or run a Tab.
This chick just didn’t know how to deal with the pump in a new gym.[/quote]And if you realize you accidentally brought your debit card, destroy the magnetic strip, pronto.
So about 4 hours ago I was doing snatch grip deads from about a 4" platform. To do these properly you gotta go crazy deep, you are basically doing an Ass To Grass squat AND a deadlift all at the same time. Anyway I was only doing 265 lbs because these are pretty tough to do from a platform and I was going for 8 reps.
First offense is from some douchebag who says to his buddy whom hes apparently training “yeah, those are deadlifts, I usually do 315 for reps, thats only 265 there”. I looked at this guy after my set and he was not built whatsoever, weighed maybe 180 lbs and id bet my next paycheck had never done a snatch grip deadlift let alone from a platform.
Second offense of the night was when I was doing some push presses. I alternate shoulder workouts doing strict form military presses one day of the week and then I do heavy push presses for shoulder work the next time I do shoulders. Anyway I got 225 on and im cranking out 5-6 reps of PUSH presses…so yeah Im using my legs a little bit to drive the weight up and then I come down slow for a small negative, then on last rep I hold the weight over my head for about 8-10 seconds until Im shaking like a monkey fucking a football. Well after 4 sets of push presses this “trainer” comes up to me and says “hey, good weight your pushing there Bud…you know we have belts down at the desk you can sign out”. Then he proceeds to tell me that I’ll get more hypertrophy if I SIT DOWN on a 90 degree bench and drop my weight and use less momentum"…Now Im not the biggest guy but damn Im 6’2" and 265 lbs and bigger than most everyone at the shit hole gym I train at…like I dont know WTF Im doing, my shoulders are twice as thick as the “trainer” who gave me his godly advice. Anyway, this stuff happens atleast 3 times a week but ive never posted till now about it.
Special thanks to the douchelord that left 3-45’s on each side of the smith machine AND left the bar almost all the way to the top. All 5 feet of me had a fun ol time pulling your weights off a bar thats over a foot over my head.
thanks for the great warm up a**hole
gym etiquette= got none

you’re, not your.
Its been a while since went to a gym. I had a nice set up at my house. But low and behold what did I see… two kids doing 97 sets of curls in the squat rack. I didn’t even think all this was really true. Its mind bottling lol

I think you meant “Lo and behold”, not low and behold.
This kid was doing power cleans by the instruction of his friend. He was teaching him how to catch really low like the olympic lifters do which is very unnecessary for someone just learning. Anyway he caught it low in a squat position and fell backwards on his ass. To his credit at least he tried and was not doing a lame lift.

i do that to piss people off, but i would do it to you. it would be funny and oh so cute
i hate this skinny guy who always trys tell me how to lift, what im doing wrong, and says i should lift heavy because im so big, then says don’t lift heavy just feel it. im like SHUT UP IF YOU KNEW HOW TO TRAIN YOU WOULD BE BIG. he has been training for 7 years he says. looks anorexic and you would never know he trains.
Yesterday I saw some kid drag the wooden box used for box squats into the squat rack and proceed to do concentration curls in there with a 15 lb. dumbbell. Mind you, there are about 6 benches in front of the dumbbell rack which is on the other side of the gym. First time I’ve ever seen something that retarded.

silly curl fan boy exercise that allows them to “feel the burn” instead of moving heavy weight. They think that moving the weight 1/3 of the way for the magical rep count of 7 in each of the bottom, middle, and top third of a curl is the elixir for huge gunz

next time I’m at the gym and I’m doing my squats I think I’ll pile a ton of 10/5/2.5 pounders on the bar so the guy coming after me gets to have fun taking off my weight… i think it would be SUPER CUTE!

oh no i don’t do squats, i just put it up to the top and fill it in with weight…lol
anything you do probably cute, but don’t worry when ever we did smith machine bench when all the new kids come and steal everything, my bro would leave it with about half inch gap between bar and my cheast, so id put it beyond his fingertips lol
There was a guy in front of the DB rack who made it difficult for anyone to get to any of the dumbbells there are didn’t get the hint no matter how many of us would go past him.
He also smelled like someone pissed on him 3 days ago.

I’m not picking on you specifically, but it boggles my mind when guys feel the need to shamelessly flatter women [outside of the SAMA forum] anytime they post. I’m not a chick, but holy hell I would get sick of that shit fast.
It’s even worse when it happens in the squat rack. <<<See, now this post is relevant.
