There is a new guy in my gym. He drops every weight you can imagine. He does curls and on the last rep drops them from his waist. I am going to kill this douche.
I wish I had a video because it was hilarious. He started on the BB bench. He slapped on 185 lbs and moved it 2-3 inches and then racked it. Did like 3 sets of 8 reps. Then he moved over to the BB incline press. Slapped 135 on the bar and did 3x8 with the same 2-3 inch movement. Then he moved over to the DB flat bench. He grabbed the 25 lb DB so I thought he was going to actually do some real bench presses. Nope that was his warm up of 2-3 inch movement. Then he dropped the 70 lb DB and rolled them to the bench. Then with every ounce of power he had he got them to his knees. Then rolled back in this humping like action to get them up in the air. Again with the 2 inch movement and drops the weights from full extension. Then he rolled the weights back to the rack but had no strength to put them back on the rack. Then proceeded with the 75 lb DB. I walk over to him and asked him what muscle group he was working. He said, āpecs.ā I followed up with, āthat is one of the worst tricep workouts I have every seen.ā I then went over picked up the 70 lb DB and rack them for him. Asked him if he needed help with the 75 lb DBs. I did not put this in my log, but I went down to the 110 lb DB picked up both and laid down on the bench and repped those babies full range 8 times. I then said, āThat is how you work your pecs.ā
Sorry I had to vent and rub it in to that douche. Forgot he wears gloves with the padding with wrist wraps.

if he only had a girlfriend, maybe you couldve showed him how that range-of-motion is done as well

Sweet. I would have broken her in half.
[/quote]
I get the feeling you mean this in a literal sense. Like, knee-to-spine backbreaker.[/quote]
It is literal. If she was with that douche sexually and she had me, then I would have split her in half. Like from head to crotch.

Poor Barbie.[/quote]
lol

I meant like picking her up over your head and breaking her over your knee. Like, Batman-Bane style. No sexual innuendo associated with it whatsoever.
Yeah, I know; I got a few screws loose. lawl[/quote]
I know what you meant. Why would I do that to some poor unsuspecting sweetie? As small as this guy is his girlfriend can not be much bigger.
I workout at the rec center at my college. Every day I have to worry about what will I get in trouble for next. Our leg press only holds 18 45s, 22 if you stack 4 on top of the machine. Since it only holds 22 me and my friend will take turns sitting on top of the sled to add more weight. We have been asked to stop and leave 2 times because āthis isnāt a bodybuilding gym.ā Just recently they decided to change the rules on what you can wear. When wearing one of my cut offs I was asked to leave because I āmight get sweat on something.ā I didnāt realize sweating at a gym is bad. These are just a couple of ridiculous things that have happened.
We also have a gym bad ass that is probably like 5ā10" 160 lbs, barely any muscle. He decided one day he could squat 495. So he loaded the bar up, unracked it surprisingly, and then proceeded to 1/8th rep it 3 times before falling over on to the ground. Lucky for that dumb ass there was safety rails that saved his life. He still talks about how he can squat 500.

Iām trying but frick I canāt grasp how that is even possible. What is some dude on the floor pushing it up?
[/quote]
Second person also gripped the bar in a sort-of deadlift stance, facing the guy deadlifting. He āhelpedā him pull through the sticking point.

Itās called occlusion training. Lots of credible people are using it with apparent effect.
There was a non-natty pro at the gym today. He was doing leg extensions and his spotter/coach/assistant (seemed too small to be a coach) was helping him push through sticking points. He was bent down, about 6" from the guyās cock yelling āCMON! CMON! LETāS GO!ā so it looked like he was yelling at his crotch.

Itās ok. Iād like big guns and all but Iām not about to wrap a tourniquet around my arms to do it lol. [/quote]
Ya, lol. A lot of people seem to like it (Meadows does it I believe). It just seems unnecessary to me, like squatting on a Bosu ball type of thing.

word. Ill leave the emergency hemorrhage management to paramedics and professional body builders.

When I first read the quote I thought it said, āCMON! CMON! LETāS Grow!ā so it looked like he was yelling at his cock.
Iāve got myself saying āmother fuckerā, not loud, almost in a disgusted whisper, after a particularly hard set. I did it today as a matter of fact.
Caught the young āthangā next to me using the smith machine for squats, kinda laughing.
Hey guys should I have asked this girl out?
Push, I was going to get a picture of her but I couldnāt get myself to do it. Doesnāt feel right.
That will be my opening to her if I see her again. Iāll just go up to her and say āhey, I was talking about last week when you were laughing at me for saying āmother fuckerā after my squat set on T-Nation. We have a rule on that sight that a picture has to be provided when discussing encounters with high value women like yourself. When I say high value, I mean smoking hot. So, do you think I could get a picture of your ass?ā
Went to the gym this morning at 8 AM after I dropped my son off at work figuring, Iāll get my squats in. Sparse crowd except for the guy curling 55 lbs in the only squat rack, and taking 3 minutes in between sets.
Rack was in demand, I shared it with a guy doing front squats, after he finished, told me his buddy wanted to know how many sets I had left.
