the kid i saw the other day walking around with a 5 lb DB and doing curls for half an hour.
or
in judo when we are stretching in silence and someone tries to make a fart silent, but instead lets one go that has an echo.
hel320, for a minute there I thought your avatar was a picture of a man shoving a baby back into the womb with a rather strong grip on its head.
Kind of weird
New one I just heard this morning - The kid doing pull downs on the pulley next to the chin up bar: “I never train my legs. I get plenty of exercise for them when I run. Than I do calisthenics”. And naturally he looks like he’s about 13 years old with legs the size of a normal man’s bicep…
The funniest moment I can recall is going to my wife’s yoga class and droppin’ a bomb. She was killing us with some ab stuff, and I had a little too much broccoli that day. She was in mid count when I let 'er rip, and she went silent to keep herself from laughing because she KNEW it was me. This was a full class of about 30 people.
We still laugh about it, and I don’t really go to her yoga classes anymore.

What makes me CRY?
Apparently Men’s Health has been promoting squats, because just in the last month or so, I’ve noticed more of the Men’s Health Types doing them. Now my gym has 7 power racks and it used to be that I could go in there in the morning, do my squats, etc and be pretty much alone. Now on either side of me I’ve got the Men’s Health Types having the types of whiny conversations that MH types have. That’s distracts the hell out of me, as do those 1/8 squats they do.

Is that because this site and Men’s Health have the same writers?

i wonder if im the only person who hates running more than squats? but then again, i doubt this guy actually runs…as in sprints…its probaly more like a gentle jog. but really when i used to do cardio i hated my cardio day 10x more than leg day. i felt like i was dying the whole time and it gives the worst drymouth.

I hate running. Leg/lower back day is my favorite workout of the entire week.
I became a fan of doing total body 4 times a week myself. As for cardio, I’m trying to work in some HIIT on my off day. And yes, the drymouth is about the absolute worst part about it - especially since I do it outside and its been about 40’s 50’s lately
There is some dude who carries the 45 plates above his head at my gym. And the worst part is he grunts and stomps around while doing it. Nonetheless, I always get a kick out of how highly he thinks of himself.
My German Shepherd growling at herself in the mirror and then looking at me because she knows she’s being silly but can’t help it.
My English Bull terrier puppy licking my training partners bald spot when he’s stretching.
Every gym should have a dog:)

I love it when I hear members complain about exercise being too hard, so they dump the 10lb dumbell curls for 5lbs and look as if they actually think they’re getting a great workout. I almost want to hand them their money back and tell them to stop wasting their time. People want to come to the gym and feel like they’re sitting on their sofa at home yet somehow get into incredible shape. WTF??? Some people just cannot grasp the concept. Amazing. America is indeed fat and lazy.
Another one I love is the soccer mom or sissy man doing laps in the parking lot looking for a parking spot in the front row, somehow forgetting he’s about to fucking run 45 mins on the treadmill as soon as he parks his lazy ass. Park in the back and WALK inside asshats.

The guy doing front squats with the pad on the bar.
Although everything else about his squats was impressive so it’s a good bet I’m the dumb one.
Does anyone else do this? First I saw it in my igloo.
What’s wrong with the shoulder pad on the bar? I use one of those manta ray plastic ones that fits the traps.
[/quote]
I don’t like the shoulder pad. The bar doesn’t feel secure so I don’t use it.
However, he was using if for front squats. Not back. Using it on back squats I see often but I’ve never seen it used for front. It seems odd but maybe I don’t get out enough.

Farts. Farts are always funny.

I just don’t get the humor in farts. There are certain situations where a fart could be funny but not farts in general. I still have friends that laugh whenever someone farts. If someone could clue me in to the genius of this humor then I would greatly appreciate it.
You are obviously not schooled in the Classics. There are great English authors I could refer you to - Chaucer, Joyce, and so forth, that would better educate you in the ribald humor of bodily functions. It’s all about the orifice.
In the gym, farts can be dangerously funny if you are in the middle of executing any of the big lifts. The noise can break your concentration, and the stench can make you gag.

Benjamin Franklin thought enough of them to write, “Fart Proudly”. Behold the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and lighten up (meant not for Momma, for she is wise.)
theres this room they use for aerobice (conveinienatly place next to the mens locker room) and when the room isnt being used for aerobic i sometimes see people like just running in there…and im like, why?
it never made sense to me why people would spend the monthly rate for a gym membership to use a treadmill when they can do the same thing outside for free.

They do it so others can see them working out. It’s all a big friggin’ show.
The funniest shit you can see in the gym is while you are doing your squat routine, a girl smaller than you starts warming up with your max beside you.
I know half the guys were laughin their asses off behind my back. Assholes.
Guys with huge upper bodies and toothpick legs.
Also guys with big arms and scrawny everywhere else.
the kid this morning who walked in, took off all his bodybuilding.com apparel, did the legpress with 150lbs 5 times, walked around breathing like he just moved a mountain, then put his clothes back on and left.

i saw this girl…well i dont know for sure if it was a girl, she was beyond jacked when i first looked at her all i could see were arms and some DD tits…but maybe implants? the only thing that saves her from undoubtedly thinking shes a man is the fact that her legs and ass were insanely huge. she would destroy any figure competitor ive seen on this site and would take out 95% of the men…but she used really fucking lightweight…idk man. weird shit.
