A gay couple tried to one up me at the gym this morning. I squat 255,they squat 255. I curl 45s,they (barely) curl 45s. It got to the point when I loaded up to 270 (squatting),one of them couldn’t handle the weight and it dropped on the power rack. Everybody just looked and stared. I was laughing my ass off the whole time while I de-racked the bar. Im just wondering,why did they feel like they need to show me up like that?

Where are you from man. My best friend always wore his aviators everywhere, and he was a hardcore topgun fan. He’s now in the navy and is stationed near Virginia Beach, if your from around that area it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it was him haha. [/quote]
why didnt you act like a real friend and make fun of him un-mercilessly until he took them off?[/quote]
I tried. The guy was obsessed, he truly believed not only did he look awesome in them but that it was his secret to picking up the girls.

This has happened to me a few times.
One time me and a buddy were benching and we had a weird combination of plates because we were both using the bench together, it was a 35, a 10 and a 25 on either side.
Then a couple of guys took the bench next to ours and put the same combination of plates on. That’s weird.
Also, at least a dozen times I’ve had a guy run on the treadmill next to me even though there are 10 or so in a row and they’re kind of like urinals…don’t take the one next to me…but they do and I always put the incline at at least 1.5 and will generally warm up at a 5.0kph walk then go up from there.
I’ll be at 2.5 incline and 9.5 kph and the guy next to me will do the same. Get lost fool.

I like to run in cadence with the person next to me.
What’s whacky is when you realize the entire line of treadmills has fallen into the rhythm.

I practice the art of making normal situations awkward…such as walking into a bathroom and taking the urinal right next to a fellow pisser when I have other options or running on the treadmil directly next to a fellow treadmiller when other options are available.
You might think that that’s not that awkward, or it’s tolerably awkward, except in both of those scenarios I have been known to make awkward declarations such as : “Oh man, it’s leaking again…” or “I sure wish this rash on my inner thigh would go away…” or “High five”
Those three examples are used interchangably in both scenarios…
Another scenario…I’m sitting in the “learning commons” at my Uni and there are ample computers. There are two kids next to me doing some homework working together and out loud. I have began to mumble the answers to their questions and noticeably look at their problems. Pretty soon I’m going to snicker and say only an idiot can’t get this one to a problem they are having trouble with.
Here’s a scenario I saw on the man show back in the day when it was good: Walk into a public bathroom where someone is in a stall…take up the stall next to him and offer him some brownies, except really hand a plate of brownies underneath the divider…I don’t know if I’d be able to do this with a straight face and steady voice…

I’d be like “Don’t mind if I do”. Then I would shit on your plate of brownies and hand it back to you.
This reminds me, one time I was taking a shit at work and some guy came in to take a piss with a box of pizza. He set it on top of the corner of the stall, the one I was currently occupying, and I’m pretty sure he knew I was in there. It was not a coworker just some guy we shared the floor with.
I didn’t know what to do, but was pissed off this guy would do that. So I grabbed his pizza, what was left of it anyway, and waited to see what would happen. The guy washed his hands and left without saying anything to me.
If a guy handed me a plate of brownies while I was poopin’ I would probably smell carefully and then eat it if it seemed legit. I love brownies.
When I played ball in college, we would always get to game sites ridiculously early, so (instead of reviewing scouting reports or anything useful) a buddy and I would wander off to find a random bathroom in a busy spot on campus and try (usually with success) to get fellow poopers to join in on iPod music/movie trivia. We would try to do the same thing in airports but everybody was always so tense and agitated that they rarely participated.

Yeup. I couldn’t imagine going to a gym like that.

LOL!!
This sounds like something my roommate in college would do. He had anger issues though…
At the local uni:
Guy using dtraps on 5kg DBs, while doing laterel raises, HA! Beat that!

Not 5kg, but I do use straps for lat raises.
I do high reps with relatively heavy weights, and the first time a Dumbbell becomes a Murderbell across the weightroom floor is the last.

between the 10th reps and the pants cranked up, I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t Christopher Walken on a SNL skit

I see your lat raises and raise you juggling in the squat rack. Yes really, I saw a guy juggling what appeared to be bean bags in the squat rack today.
Best tri-set ever witnessed by myself today:
A1) 15 reps of 285 on leg press
A2) 26(!) reps of tricep pushdowns
A3) 3 reps of prisoner squat side lunges
Repeat 5 times. Follow by a cooldown going 2 mph on a 7% incline on the treadmill for 12 minutes. I was actually too confused to realize that I hadn’t started my lifting and was still doing foam roller work after a half hour.
