I was doing my first warm-up set of squats w/ 90 kg. A guy came up to me and said, “That’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen!”

If they’re big enough, they can shorten your ROM. boobs rule.

It’s like a really cool, built-in board press if they’re big enough.
Two lifters were discussing supplements and I heard this gem:
“Yeah I took creatine for two days and stopped. It felt like I was doing something illegal.”
I was all like wut? The guy isn’t weak either.
The dumbest thing someone has ever said to me was “Are you almost done there?”
(In regards to the bench I was using, and it only had 305lbs on it, obviously I was still warming up. I gave him a flying dropkick and followed it up with a downward punch to the gonads.)
Game over. I win.
We have this creepy old guy that wears the same Northwestern Rose Bowl tattered sweatshirt everyday and he calls everyone who can lift a respectable amount of weight “cockstrong”.

If they’re big enough. Sadly, I don’t get much out of mine. My coach said I couldn’t stuff either

“you shouldnt drink too much protein/mass gainers. it’ll mess up your hormones” said a personal trainer in my gym.

This reminded me of a kid who approached me in the locker room.
First he asked me if I worked out alot to get my legs. I wanted to say “No, they just came this way.” but I figured he’d be stupid enough to believe that. So, I said yes.
Then he asked me if I took creatine. I said no. Then he replied with something along the lines of “Good. Creatine is fucking worse than steroids. I took it once and lost 40lbs”.
lol?
In the bottom position of a heavy squat a gym acquaintance says out loud
“Lookin’ good, man”
f*ck my life
About a month ago, I started doing front squats for the first time. So, of course, since I’m preparing to squat, some douchebag has to come camp out on the machine directly behind me, like always…
Anyways, I started out with just the bar, do a couple reps, and when it doesn’t feel too awkward, I re rack it and add some weight.
Then, on my third rep with weight, the guy starts talking to me.
“Do you need some help moving that?” I finish my set and then turn to him and ask him what he’s talking about.
“Well, it looks like you’re trying to move that bar somewhere but you can’t seem to get more than a couple steps away from the rack…”
Then I tell him I’m not trying to move it anywhere, I’m squatting. So, he openly laughs in my face and tells me that’s not how you squat, the bar should be on your back. I say, “Well, I’m doing front squats.”
He laughs harder and says “ooooh, Front squats…” as if I just made the term up. I thought about doing a lot of things right then, but instead I just sighed and shook my head and went back to what I was doing.
Why is it that the guys who want to talk shit are always bald, fat, and completely lacking any semblence of muscle?

Eventually those guys will get schooled/educated. Be it on the gym floor or in the locker room, sometimes to the point where they’ll never come back.
Bar collars (clamps) are for pussies!:
A few months ago, I was having a conversation with a middle-aged regular at my gym. He used to be an amateur bodybuilder and has said on a number of different occasions that he used steroids for more than 20 years.
We were talking about women and this little piece of gold came out of his mouth:
“You know, if you had asked me ten years ago if the 1000 mg of test and 36 beers a week had anything to do with my 3 divorces, I would have laughed and told you that you were fucking crazy. Lately, I’m starting to think the two were connected.”
Now he is with wife #4.
True story.

hahaha … I’m sure he was thinking F*ck my life!
I just got called “Baby Gap” over lunch. A co-worker says my clothes are getting too small, like I’m buying baby clothes to look big. Guess I’ll take it as a compliment and go up a size in shirts!
i hired this trainer for a probationary two weeks at the studio that i manage. He goes on to tell me and the owner (who is a c.s.c.s. by the way) that he has never trained legs. and then on the side, he tells me that he ran a CYCLE of creatine before. hahaha
Sorry, the title says at the gym. After working for a year at a local Rec. center, and having to hear a wannabe power lifter critique my form in the middle of heavy sets, my wife and I dropped a bunch of money for 3 years pre-paid at 24 Hour Fitness. More equipment, larger area, and ALL are complete strangers. Well worth it.
Best line (after trying to lift WAY more weight than he was capable of): “Man, I had that, but I had a cookie with lunch and now I’m on a total blood sugar crash.”
I’m not going to miss that guy…
