I had a couple of wonderful moments in the university gym today. An excerpt from my training log:
Paused NGB
265x4, 295x4, 320*x3
A true SRC moment. I thought my right arm felt heavy after two reps and on the 3rd especially so, and lo and behold I had a 5 on one side and not the other. Sigh.
Then, in a move I saw coming a mile away, I was doing weighted dips and having trouble getting the belt off (I didn’t want to squat down because my knee is hurt and would have been pointlessly strained). So I slide the belt down my ass and with it go my shorts, exposing my lovely Hanes briefs to the crowded gym. That one I was actually proud of.[/quote]
I do the same thing with the dip belt. Also, when I pull it up sometimes, it catches on my shorts and brings them up to almost a thong.
This happened to be… several months ago but reading through this I just remembered. I was doing pull-throughs but my shoes were on their last leg… basically half way through the set one leg randomly slipped practically in slow motion and I fell forward and to the side… The weight stack proceeded to pull me along the floor until the weight came to a stop at the bottom. I probably was pulled like 3-4 feet but it seemed like I was getting pulled clear across the gym.
Surprisingly even though the gym was completely packed no one seemed to even take a second glance.
Shit needs to be bumped. i train at a health club so have lots of examples of squat rack curling etc, but the best example i can think of right now is a fairly crazy old person load up the bar on a bench to about 50kg or so, and then proceed to set his arms so that is left arm was way out on the ring and his right arm was significantly narrower. He then proceeds to squeeze out several reps with this technique where is left arm goes up extraordinarily slow compared to his right and at an odd angle. He then rests and does another set. then another. then i think he started talking to himself and doing various shit. (He’s slightly crazy).
Another thing which springs to mind is one time running on the treadmill, i noticed one of the big TVs had rugby on (NZs vs someone), which i begin to focus on. After about 30 seconds i completely stack it as my focus completely drifted to the rugby and i managed to miss the tread. I did manage to grab the handle bar after a few retarded steps and right myself, by which time the whole gym was looking at me due to the noise my stumble had caused.
my friend and i are lifting at his gym. its me him, a hot girl, a not so hot girl, and 3 other guys in there at the time. my friend says hes gotta rip ass, but wants to wait for the hot girl to leave. she leaves, he rips ass while the not hot girl is doing crunches and on the way up. it frickin reaks, the other 3 guys look over and my asshole friend points at the girl doing crunches, everyone nods in agreement and continues lifting while giving the girl the stink eye the rest of the time. i kinda felt bad but it was pretty funny.
My gym recently acquired a preacher curl seat and decided to place it retardedly close to my squat rack. Now I’m constantly on the look out for douches who don’t have the sense to move it away from my squat rack or at the very least wait until I’m not doing a set.
Not an SRC moment but fucking annoying all the same…
Saw a bro squatting on the Cybex calf machine today. He was a 60 year old calc professor. I didn’t wanna be a dick and correct him but he was doing that face thing when you can’t figure shit out but wanna play it off. I felt his pain, the picture was torn off that machine ages ago.

“Get some, black man” ??? Who the fuck says that when they spot someone?[/quote]
Made me giggle. If someone was pricking around behind me like that when I was trying to squat I would most definitely swing the bar round and smack him on the side of the head. That’s assuming I could handle the weight unlike ‘black man’ up there.

There is a odd guy in my gym who wears a belt, knee wraps, elbow sleeves, gloves, straps, wrist wraps… and possibly about every acessory there is, but he comes in and only does curls… while screaming. Now, I don’t usually judge, people should do whatever makes them happy, but why spend so much money on all that gear if you’re not even gonna use it ? The other day I overheard him talking about buying a bench shirt.[/quote]
I’ve always known this as ‘All the gear: no idea’. It’s prevalent in every single sport, hobby & pursuit. Like the kids who show up to their first snowboarding lesson and mummy and daddy have bought them a brand new board, boots, coat, goggles, helmet etc etc etc.
I saw bench rack curls today. Straddling the bench, facing the upright; a 5’er on each end. He was pretty much on his last set so I didn’t give a fuck. I did think it was noteworthy though.
Oh man! I’ve been doing it wrong all this time. Some douche had 110 lbs. on the bar (of course in the squat rack) and was swinging his entire body in order to get the bar up for curls. He’s working out all of his muscle groups at the same time. Genius!
