Man your missing out on a prime opportunity here.
Start buying her triple quarter pounders w/cheese everyday, fatten her ass up and hit that punani.
I saw a guy curling a 5 pounds dumbell for close to 15 minutes. Pathetic.

Shes “not my type”, in other words ugly.
Shes really smart though, shes in my buddies optics, electricity and magnetism class. Got a 98 or some shit, I barely made an 80 in that class.
I kinda feel bad talking about her now, Im going to stop, my first post was probably a little in bad tastes, not sure if anorexia is funny yet.
not a bad performance, but i get a kick out of all the guys who lift at my highschool asking me “Aren’t you gonna use a belt?” whenever i’m about to deadlift or squat a weight they deem heavy.
i also introduced squatting and deadlifting without shoes and it caught like wildfire.

WTF!? Where the hell do people get information like that? Even logically speaking, how does that make sense to anyone? It’s not like you even have to know anatomy to understand that that is idiotic.

I know what you mean. The simplest way to explain it to that sort of people is “What gets tired or sore? You worked that.”
Unless the exercise in question is hang cleans, then you have to explain why their biceps shouldn’t be sore.
A couple of weeks ago, a kid, probably about 130 pounds, came up to me and told me to turn the DBs in at the top of DB bench pressing. He said that was how to target the inner chest, and if you keep doing that “you won’t get that line in the middle of your chest, your whole chest will just be muscle.”
I didn’t really know what to say, what came out was “Oh… hm.” And I continued my workout. I REALLY hope he was kidding, but he definitely didn’t look like he was.
I seen a guy taking a nap lying on his back where people stretch,
about every 3 minutes he would curl a 10lb weight from the floor to and put it back.

T-Nation.
You get a guy who reads an article wants to act smart and says it works the shoulder stabilization muscles in the back.
About 3 weeks ago I went to my college gym to work out legs. We have 4 power racks and usually at least one is open.
However, on this day they were all full. The first squat rack was occupied by a kid doing reverse BB curls with a 5 on each side.
The second squat rack was occupied by a kid doing regular BB curls with a 10 on each side.
The third squat rack was occupied by a faggot ass cross fitter, doing non stop sets of kipping pull ups, pushups, and jumping jacks.
The fourth squat was occupied by a frat boy doing BB rows with a 25 on each side.
Needless to say I was livid, especially at the two guys doing curls. I sat there staring at them the entire time. A friend came up to me to say hi and I told him that people who do curls in the squat rack should burn in hell loud enough so that the guys could hear me. After about 5 more minutes of staring them down they finally left. Makes me mad even thinking about it
Oh and one other one that had me cracking up for a good 2-3 mins. An asian guy got on the standing calf raise machine and put the shoulder supports on the lowest possible height. He then preceded to do “squats” lmao.

This is precisely when the ‘war hammer’ discussed in the other thread would come in mighty handy. Just a thought.

Check the unintentional comedy thread. When I saw the war hammer the first thing I thought was squat rack curlers. I tend to over react at times though.

I actually am pretty big on training without a belt.
But I was showing off on back day going for dead maxes with no belt.
Needless to say my lower back is still fucked up and I was having trouble squatting today.
I was pissed as fuck, I had to go get a belt.

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.[/quote]
Whats wrong with doing a drop-set of tricep pushdowns on cables? I mean, you’re not supposed to start with a super easy weight but I don’t see a problem with this otherwise. Drop-sets work well for me especially when I don’t have a lot of time.

yah, that’t the achilles heel to training without a belt, don’t show off. lol, it happens
Training at my school gym I see some wonderful things, and some terrible things. To my amazement I have seen the evolution of the squat rack curl. While I am happy that these folks have included the deadlift in their programs, I can simply see no reason that you should remove the pins from the squat rack and deadlift inside (no not a rack pull a full on deadlift).
The entire floor of the gym is rubber and there is tons of open space but guys will wait for me to finish squatting and pull the pins to deadlift from the floor inside the rack, the idiocy of the action takes a hearty toll on my mental focus.
