people…
When someone has momentum going forward on the squat and they end up good morning that shit up. I cringe…

Ok I got a fucked up story that had a pretty big impact on me.
Was walking down the line of elipticals/treadmils to get on one for some cardio, and I was following maybe 6-7 feet behind this girl. She was pretty attractive from behind, nice ass, tan skin, kinda short. Anyway, I’m just mindlessly walking behind her, until I see something white poke out from the back of the right leg of her shorts.
At first I thought it was some kind of tag places in a weird/fancy way because they were pretty short shorts, but then a couple steps later it fell out. I don’t exactly know what it is, but it was white, resembled some kind of paper towel/disposable material, and was looked to be soaked in fucking blood.
I’ve spent a long time trying to figure out exactly what the fuck fell out of her shorts, and I keep coming back to some kind of bloody tampon/pad. I was pretty scared and disgusted at the time. She noticed but kept on going, because whose going to stop and pick up their own bloody rag in the middle of a busy college rec?
It didn’t have a string I could see as I walked over it, so I don’t think it was a tampon, but looked too small to be a maxi-pad or something. Luckily I never saw this girls face, so I don’t really know who she is, but yuck.
That scared me in the gym.[/quote]
The only proper response would be to yell out loud: “HEY! You dropped something!”

A bloke who puts around 200kg on the bar, and deadlifts with a fairly rounded back, then when he approaches lockout he starts madly humping the bar to get it up. Really upsets me.
Then another time it was me that was the scary one, absent mindedly put mismatched (asymmetrical) plates on the bar for powercleans, while a trainer was watching me and didn’t say anything. You can imagine the result.[/quote]
Lol, you don’t happen to train at the CSE do you? I’m a trainer there and saw someone do the exact same thing a few days ago.
That crazy hitching deadlift guy rings a bell too (but then every gym probably has one or two of those).
When I lose my balance when split squatting in the rack. One slip and i’ll have broken ribs. In fact perhaps I’m one of those douches that everybody on here cringes at.
Better go get me a bosu…
Spectacled not speckled bear. Speckled bears are just black bears with dandruff. Now that is frightening. Specially if they don’t wipe the bench down afterwards.
There is this nuts dude in my gym that is pretty big but has crazy beady darting eyes and chews gum INTENSELY and i mean intense. He stares around like this, im kind of just waiting for him to snap and maul someone.
Apart from that, people doing bench without a spot with too much weight and reallly grinding out reps.
Watching any kind of bosu-ball/swiss ball weighted exercise.

I’m sure you’ve all seen this before. I am at the gym today and these three young guys walk up to the squat rack (they all weigh around 150 probably). This guys sets up 225 and unracks it and does quarter squats. On his 9th or 10th rep not really sure which you can tell he is having a hard time. He then jumps up to 315 and does about 5 or 6; the last one he gets a decent amount of help on.
Then, he goes up to 405! At this point I’m thinking this dude is going to get squashed and while I will feel bad it will be pretty funny. He unracks it, and does two, and of course goes down an inch or two on each one. He reracks it and his buddies all give him a high five. It was pretty funny, but I thought he was going to kill himself lol.[/quote]
Its funny, i opened this thread with the aim of writing a post that emulated this one suggesting that the thing that scares me most is 1) that only a very small percentage (1-5%) of members actually do parallel or lower in the squat and 2) that maybe those guys who do as you said in the rack may actually get some respect as lifters regardless!
IME the guys who do such things also walk with an exaggerated swagger, puff the chest out beyond natural and have arms out horizontal to the floor.
It would be better for someone to not squat at all and train the other thigh exercises with good intensity than to think this is all that is needed to get legs.
Still, fuck em, it’s their life and their loss.

Looks like a walking loofah sponge!
Disposed syringes in the locker room. Dammit!

Fully sick c_nts
Ok. All this bear bashing has gotten me a tad disheartened. I have to clear the air on this bear non-sense.
Polar bears…yeah they are crazy, you got me there. Don’t turn your back on them. They’ll take the rack on you and get in your face about it when confronted. Plus they’re masters of the scissor kick take down to rear naked choke.
Panda bears are the polar opposite though. Strong as, well a bear, but sweet as a kitten. Need a spot or have any questions about chocolate milk as a post workout option? They are going to be the ones to ask.
Brown/Black bears don’t show up in commercial gyms very often. They will usually be training in their basements, but can be very intimidating when seen in public. Not to fear. Just don’t ask them any stupid questions. They are likely to freak out and start pulling the closest traffic signs out of the ground.
Finally we have the koala bear. All koala bears are worried about are their hot abz and gnarly guns. But, they constantly get the good puss. So, if you’re lucky he will invite you out on the weekend. Just make sure take note on how he they do their hair. Then go get a hair cut, cause you’ll be getting some pussy.
Don’t mess with bear grylls in the gym man.

x2 pffttt, really. wtf is wrong with ppl?
Bears…yeah, scary.
Mine is that guy at the gym that I know is gonna herniate a disc in his neck whilst doing upright rows in the smith. He looks like he is possessed as he uses his entire body to pull the weight up, utilizing some sort of bizarre inch worm undulating technique very much akin to CF “kipping”. Even better, you should watch him smith bench. Now HE scares me.
@Beans…ewwww!

I saw this guy squatting either a pair of 35’s or 25’s on the bar with a pad. He was going down well below parallel but his low back was mad rounded. I mentioned it to him in the nicest/most casual/non-condescending way possible that his back was really rounded. Still kind of gave me a look like I was an asshole, but it could have been worse.
The way I see it, if he continued to do that, tweaked his back, and realized he was squatting with poor form later on, he would have been pissed nobody told him.
I guess I’m just that guy.[/quote]
Dude, funny story, but seriously…who is that in your avatar…very distracting in a good way.
When the strange old naked guy in the locker room took pictures of me. Told me he was scouting for models. Starting to doubt that now. Scary
