Fixed.
Someone I train with occasionally told me he didn’t think adding muscle, with or without using AAS, can increase running speed.
Uh, come again?
Guy in his mid-fifties was always in my gym doing all sorts of old school warm-up and body weight exercises -jumping jacks, straight leg sit ups all in the exact same clothing week in week out for EVERY session.
Loved the treadmill and one day came in and was lashing it out, seating like a madman while doing his ‘powerwalking’ when low and behold bubbles/foam started to appear on his shorts in the old arse area!
I hadent the heart to tell him - just got others to stop and laugh. Won’t even go into how the bubbles got there.
Bubbles?
Yeah I dont quite get it? He shit himself?

On Monday I saw someone doing deadlifts with a smith machine. I’m not sure it was a bad performance though, it just looked unnatural.

After what I’ve been seeing, I think punching bags should be outlawed from gyms that don’t offer real boxing/martial arts training. Watching ugly arm punches and kicks with legs and backs bent up like accordions is getting on my nerves.

i compete in amateur mma matches and i had the manager from the gym tell me i couldn’t use the punching bags because they needed a certified instructor watching me. in other words, their cardio kickboxing instructor, who only knows about punching and kicking for weight loss.
and to chime in on the FUPA/gunt conversation-
it’s also called a BIF (Butt In Front) if they hike up their pants because they think it hides their gut
There’s a guy at my gym, who, after every rep, would put down the weights, and fix his hair. Anyway, he was having his personal trainer spot him on smith machine while benching 105 pounds. He had his legs crossed, up in the air, after he finished, I felt bad and told him it wasn’t a good idea. He turned to his trainer and said “did I have my legs in the air?” The trainer told him he didn’t, and then he went on benching the same way. It makes me sad.
FINALLY!! I’ve seen something in my gym that I haven’t read about on here yet and I take great pleasure in bringing it to the attention of my fellow T-Nation members 
a young kid, probably 17 or so, and his buddy go over to the squat rack and start moving up the safety bars to a level that’s like chest high…so i’m thinking ok here we go, it’s gonna be the usual way-too-much-weight and way-to-little-range-of-motion type squatting I usually see from the high school kids. Not even close.
One of them goes over and gets the forearm roller with a 5 lb weight attached and carries it over to the rack…at this point i’m completely confused about what’s going on…until it all comes together for me when one of them takes his position, sideways in the rack, facing outward, resting his elbows on the bar. His buddy hands him the roller with 5 lbs attached and then SPOTS him while he rolls it down and rolls it back up a couple times, all the while supporting the massive weight with his elbows on the bar.
I still can’t believe what I saw…anyway, hopefully this is a new one for you guys and it provides a few chuckles.
Here are a few:
Dude doing medicine ball throws. Not that these are bad in and of themselves, but when you hurl a 12lb medicine ball into a mirror, things just don’t end well.
5’6’’ 115lb kid kick boxing on the 100lb heavy bag. Again, in and of itself not really a bad thing, but this kid gets the bag swinging pretty far, then attempts a flying kick and gets deposited on his face by the bags momentum.
The dude doing a combination of floor presses and side to side leg raises from blocks while on a pad on the Olympic platform. Me staring at him the whole time waiting to do dead lifts. He was probably a crossfitter.

I’m just throwing this out there … I’d give 'em credit for creativity. I don’t think I’d ever have thought to use the squat rack “safety bars” as a “spotter” for forearm training. That belongs on the Bud Light Real Men of Genius.
i think the worst thing that ever happened (beyond people doing 30 minutes of curls in the SINGULAR squat rack) would be when my friends and i were in the hottub after lifting. My freinds (16 and 17, with one 15 year old) were sitting there, when an extremely old and saggy lady came into the room, took a look at us, and walked out. She ‘alerted’ the lifeguard, who kicked all of us out. and then, she didnt even go into the hottub, she just left. biggest bitch ever.
i got in an argument with this guy because he was trying to tell me that push ups target mainly your back…
Theres this really odd, nerdy Russian chick at my gym, shes seriously anorexic thin, people worry about her.
She always goes at it for like an hour on the elliptical, rocking the fuck out to her I-pod.
She like dances, flails her arms, etc whiles shes going.
If she didn’t obviously have an eating disorder I wouldn’t really say anything about it, but she needs to stop doing cardio and eat a sandwich.

I know this is an old post but that is very funny.
A guy doing tricep pushdowns on the cables, I don’t remember what weight he did but he super-setted it like crazy, he would do like 8 reps of a way too easy weight, pull the pin and reduce the weight by the least possible, 8 more reps, rinse and repeat like 5 more times…I lol’d big time.
