So let me see...
Some I can think of:
There's a retired physician who trains at my gym. He's about 150lb, abouut 6'2". He routinely bench presses 225lb with a 2 inch (at MOST) range of motion - sets of 2 to 3. Essentially no arm movement - BARELY bending the elbows. At the bottom of the "range of motion," he is within millimeters of actually requiring some muscular strength to lift the bar. On each rep, you can see the bar slow, his arms shake and the weight JUST BARELY reverse direction and snap back into his hyperextended lockout.
He's not a powerlifter and refuses to do these in a powerrack with some safety bars. Most sets are without a spot.
Being an all-knowing M.D., he refuses to change his ways. I am certain that the day is not too far off when he is seriously injured.
This guy is seriously stupid.
-----------
There is a guy who trains in my gym for 4 - 6 hours at a time. He will spend an entire afternoon in the gym. 40+ sets with almost no weight. Most sets are done unilatererally while having a conversation, or watching the TV when possible.
The guy has a pretty good physique and would look damn good if he trained a little smarter.
----------
Anyone doing the "Superslow" training system. First time I saw it, there were two guys next to me, both outweighing me by 30-50lb. I was curling what they were squatting.
---------
A 200lb grown man lying face up on a Swiss ball, doing Pec fly's with 5lb dumbells.
---------
Pec fly's STANDING UPRIGHT with the 3lb DB's - squeeze those pecs!!! LOL.
----------
Anyone doing SIDE BENDS to melt away those stubborn love handles. ;^)
----------
The Kung Fu master guy who kicks in the air between sets.
----------
Women (sorry, only seen women do this) doing leg presses with 5lb plates.
----------
Short sets of standing calf raises with body weight. Come on - why in the HELL would your calf muscles grow from that?...
----------
A guy reading the paper while doing leg extensions
All for now. I'm sure I'll think of more later. LOL.
