Worst Gym Performance You've Seen

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.[/quote]

I always deadlift in a rack, It’s just what I’m used to. Same with squatting. Ive been to some gyms were they just have squat stands and I can’t do it. I have to be in a rack.

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.

Too bad it wasn’t RDLs

that’s is a modified rack pull. i do them often, helps me on my second pull on my DL[/quote]

It looked really unnatural but I guess you use what you have to get the job done.
