People actually complain that I squat in the curl hack.
Some of my own fails, to keep the spirit of the thread alive:

1- Curling with DBs, drop the DB, DB falls on my toe. THE PAIN.

2- Last set of squats, considerable amount of weight in the bar. Going deep, stop a few inches bellow parallel, “I think I can go deeper.” and the bar pins me down.

I actually had some sort of wart on the edge of my pinky toe for a few months, a couple years back and it was getting very painful to walk. I thought I was going to need surgery. Even to touch it shot pain up my leg…
Well, I was at the Y, doing something with the 50’s and set them down on a bench. I looked away and one of them fell on my ring and pinky toe, at an angle and broke both of them. I had walked to the gym, so I had to hobble the 5 blocks back home… fuck, did it ever hurt. I rested them over the next couple of weeks, and slowly watched the wart turn black, then white, then fall off.

It was kind of awesome.[/quote]

Dude, you should patent that idea and sell it as wart remover. Seriously.

H4M, now, I’m just a newbie, but I always ask if someone is using a piece of equipment, especially if it looks like the person isn’t done yet. If there are plates on the ground, leaning against the power cage (deadlifting cage for byukid…lol) I always ask if someone is using it. People are always leaving bars with plates on them in my gym, usually they belong to whoever’s working the desk, so no one touches them, just leaves them. So, no, I don’t think you’re taking things out of context. [/quote]

For reference, here’s the video…so as you can see…I left the plates and belt RIGHT there…NO way he could’ve thought they were being used for something else.

Time for a new one. I’ll start it off with one of my own tales.

Yesterday I was doing heavy deadlifts and on my last set I yanked a smelling salt so far up my nose it burned the back of my skull. Keep in mind, this is in my garage with the door wide open. So I was roaring like a wounded fucking elephant when I started the lift, when I locked it out I started screaming at the top of my lungs then lowered it and (mockingly, trying to startle my roommate who was lifting with me) started crying.

Then I stood up and hurled a can of Diet Coke out of the garage and into the street. When the can hit a car driving by I looked up and noticed that these two smoking hot chicks who were running by had stopped to watch the spectacle of me deadlifting. They looked scared, especially since I had apparently hurled the can right over their heads and it glanced off the car driving by behind them. I sheepishly waved and said “sorry…it’s, uh…the steroids. Heh, heh.” Then I rolled my eyes into the back of my head and kinda staggered back into the garage.

That’s pretty douchey bro, lucky it wasn’t my car.[/quote]

Come on, let’s hear it: I’m sick of hearing motherfuckers talk shit about a bunch of newbies and dumbfucks who frequent the gym in this thread, as if they don’t ever do stupid shit or have done stupid shit.

I’ve shared some what-the-fuck moments on here that I’ve seen in gyms, but I’m not so full of myself that I can’t admit that I’ve been there and done it too at some point. Let’s hear some of your own squat rack curl stories. I know you’ve got 'em.[/quote]

I think most people forgot what the spirit of this thread was started as. [/quote]

Trying to get it back on track:

A month or so ago I was doing db rows, and decided to go really fucking heavy (for me), loaded up 185. On rep number three I hit myself on my dick with the db.

Last winter, did front squats outside the garage. I sit back. But sit back too far, realize that I’ll fall, think “fuck”, my back hits the wall, I drop the bar, it falls on my thighs, bounces into my abs and I end up really happy that I’m using some pussy weight and didn’t get seiously hurt.

maybe this still isn’t the best gym etiquette but maybe he thought he would get a quick one in before you needed it again.

Maybe not the best etiquette, but understandable. If that was the thought process, he should have asked and made sure…what if you’re rest periods are shorter than his work periods…but at least that one is forgivable. In my book at least.

So I’m watching this video and my 5 yr. old son walks up and sees it and says how strong that guys is. I corrected him by saying, “no son he’s actually very weak. Daddy can do a lot more weight and doesn’t watch a movie while doing it.”

Kind of like this but for gym goofiness!

Ok, usually I dont take part in this posts cause I just go to the gym with the attitude of “this shit doesnt affect me, so I dont give a shit”, but Ive had enough of those that go to the gym that I attend on Mondays!

douche #1. skinny dude, always looking at me for some reason. I was supersetting on the leg press and leg extension machine, so what does he do after I finish my first set of leg press, he goes and sits on the leg press machine, does a set of 10 at 20kg and then just proceeds to sit there. I tried to ask him if I could jump in as he was just sitting there resting, and then all he can say “sorry no english, im french”.

douche #2. big shoulder guy, his always at the gym, and Ive enver seen him do anything but dB/barbell bench presses and lateral raises, and chest machines. He has really big shoulder/chest, but my forearms are bigger than his legs. He just pisses me off. I once asked him why doesnt he do legs, and he mumbled something about an injury…yer right.

douche #3. some random dude, spends the whole hour at the gym doing variations of curls. I want to kill him.

douche #4. bunch of teenagers that go to the gym just to stand around and chat and get in my way. MOVE!!

Im seriously thinking about changing gyms to another gym up the road, where apparently more serious lifters go to. This is a gym that I visit out of town, which I go to for work, just means Ill need to get a bike to get me there.

Here’s some of my douchery:

I’ve tried doing Farmer’s Walks on a threadmill, don’t ask about this.
I exploded my shorts doing squats
I did and epic escape from under the bar on a bench press by fliping the BB to one side and making it fall on the other bench.

I slapped a roach out of a gym mirror only to make it land on random a chick.
I tripped in my own dip chain and fell face first into an ab machine.
I took my shoes off to squat and mysteriously discovered my toe was sticking out of my sock.

I was attacked by roaches on the gym locker room.
I did curls in the squat hack. But I’m the only male who uses the squat hack to squat in my gym so I fell free to use it for whatever I want.
I broke the Smith Machine, still don’t know how.
I did heavy singles of deadlifts just to impress ladies.
I knocked down one dude.

I snapped a cable in the Pulldown machine and flew backwards.
I got naked in the locker room just to annoy people.
I left my loaded Deadlift bar on the floor on purpose, only to make the PTs deload it and struggle lifting the bar to take the weights off.

I did a backflip in the gym just to impress the receptionist.
I don’t have an epic physique but I frequently show off to fat or skinny kids who insist on passing by me and give me bad looks.
I snap on people at my gym frequently.

Nobody’s perfect, post more of your own douchery people!

[/quote]

I hit my head on the assisted pull up machine, fell to the ground. So no worries about falling into the ab machine.

You’d get an opposite reaction from me if you got naked in my locker room :wink:

That’s just evil leaving the loaded DL bar on the floor though haha
[/quote]

LOL when i was new to squatting, i wasn’t paying attention and started holding my breath, and blacked out and fell

973

I was sandwiched between an older guy and some chick today while doing zerchers from the floor. I swear, the bar was only an inch away from nubbing the guy in the elbow.

I also saw this guy come in wearing big headphones and weight belt. He walks over to the smith machine, SLAMS on a 45 and a 25 on each side, lays down, does a set of 5 while screaming, slams the bar back onto the pins, and goes over to the treadmill to jog while wearing his belt. Oh yeah, it was my dad!

That was great, but there’s a way to get even worse…last year at my gym I saw a guy straddle another guy to spot him on this Hammer bench…and if you’ve never seen this horizontal Hammer bench…it was a safety stop so that it’s impossible to crush yourself.

Yesterday I saw a trio of kids from school. They were doing t-bar rows. I really don’t like saying this too often, but these dudes seriously had way too much fucking weight on. They worked up to four plates, but by that point, they could barely pick it up, rounded their backs like cats and had a ridiculously small ROM (one of them literally did not bend their elbows; just shrugged it). Then they put five plates on, but the plates holding the unloaded side down couldn’t stabilize it, so the bar flew up and slammed straight into the leg press machine a guy was using.

Sure it’s not all powerlifters out there but some at my local gym are really annoying me! They’ll put their keys in the lone squat rack or cable machine and leave it there all workout long, even if they don’t use the rack/machine lol. One guy said to me put those barbells and horizontal row handles away, you been using them? and I was like they’re not mine I’ve just been using dumbbells then he started muttering something under his breath and walked away.

I used wraps once for shrugs and a different powerlifter was like those wraps will damage your wrists, you need to use chalk. I was like oh right yeah, i use chalk for deadlifts and never use straps or anything, just for training traps on shrugs and stuff. He then started staring at me all workout long lol.

Then comes the set rushers, I put the dumbbells away and finish early so he can use the flat bench. I walk back to pick up my water after I’ve prepared the flat bench for him and he says “so you finished then or what?”. I hear constant complaining about annoying bodybuilders, but I’ve never found that, only with my gyms powerlifting members lol.

I’m sure most are friendly people, but the ones I’ve met have mostly been annoying, whining, complaining, angry and supercilious guys who think they’re the elite of the gym community! lol :slight_smile: [/quote]
