I think you just admitted you cot teh ghey.
Well, my turn to add to this thread. Earlier this week, saw a guy doing squats in the squat rack. Put a decent amount of weight on the bar after doing a few sets. Must have went for one rep too many. Had to dump the bar but also was leaning forward so the bar got dumped forward. The safeties were set at the lowest position so he went all the way to the floor. He was me. First time that ever happened. I’m trying to view it as some sort of rite of passage rather than an f up.
Another one which was not me. Saw 2 younger guys lifting together. At one point in between my sets I look around and see the skinnier of the 2 doing DB bench press with the 15’s, needing a spot. Another dude that’s usually there when I am looked over, saw the kid struggling, made a WTF face and then laughed in my direction. I was perfect because I had just witnessed this and was thinking my wife seriously lifts more than that.
So theres this guy at my gym… I swear every time I see him he’s wearing the exact same thing. Blue/green wifebeater, squat belt, FANNY PACK, sweat bands around his forearms and calves, and gloves with the attached lifting straps. I see him all the time doing lats pulls… but not until he’s able to get the straps snug around the bar.
Complete gear queer.
Today I did super sets of squats and curls in 2 different squat racks. Still was a 3rd available one for anyone who wanted to use it.
Sorry about yelling “suck it” the other day. I was in the zone, didn’t think anybody noticed

You are… my fireeeeeeee. The one… desireeeeeeee
I was curling in front of the squat rack today and the gym owner and a girl he was training decided to do squats. They didn’t say a word to me and just started squatting over by the bench press instead. He lifted the bar onto her shoulders.
Perplexed, I turned around and said “Excuse me, should I move?”, but they declined since they were using less weight than me anyway.
The world is strange.
At the gym yesterday, this asshole finishes up a set on the bench, gets up, and starts WRITING on the wall. Ridiculous.
Oh yeah, there is a list on the wall for benches over 400. he benched 515 for 3 reps.
just started working out with my buddy who moved back from Hawaii and he always has his headphones blasting in his ears.
We were doing lateral raises and after a really tough rep he says “Come on you pussy. One more”… but his headphones were really loud and he pretty much yelled it in the gym on accident. It was pretty hilarious.

Let’s fuck them with the barbell but we will move it to the cardio area.
Saw what might be the worst use of a smith machine today. Deadlifting in the smith. And ‘speed deadlifts’ at that. I watched it for a minute and I think my back hurt from looking at it.
I got a guy to do proper deep squats today at the gym after seeing him do knee bends before. He’s about 16 and eager to learn. His deadlift form is atrocious but he’s deadlifting so will help him with that next if he wants it, seeing as some instructors are in their own world.
Not sure if this belongs here but i got into an discussion with a guy about teenagers lifting. He was saying that it has been ‘proven’ that lifting stunts growth because bigger muscles stops bone plates from growing into each other fully, also that juniors (rugby players) don’t need to be bigger than they would be naturally and that guys lifting weights the size of oneself is unhealthy.
The same guy also said that there is a growing negative culture of teenagers using sport supps, (this guy smokes and regularly brags/complains about being hung over in college)
