Stupidest things you have seen in a gym...

This thread should get some laughs....

Heres a few I have seen:

A guy walks over to the squat rack and the bar has 2 plates a side on...... he takes 2 plates off one side and it flips over and the bar almost knocked his teeth out....

A guy doing shoulder press goes to rack the bar and goes to high and clears the top.... It hit his buddy in the chest then his buddy almost fell and dropped the weight to the floor....

I also saw a guy doing a hacksquat sort of movement on a seated calve machine..... then telling his buddy it felt really good and to try it......

There are just to many to list. the other day there were a couple new guys in the gym doing seated curls. This guy would curl the weight up (20lbs) then set it on his thigh while he did a curl with the other arm. Set that one on his thigh then do another curl from his thigh to finished position and back to his thigh. I couldn't help but sit there and stare in amazement.
Never seen anyone attemp a curl like that.

i hate when people make up excersises or do one completly wrong and thing they are the shit.guys at my gym do endless sets of half dips.the barely bend theyre elbows., i also seen some sick shit the other day, i was on a seated bench pres machine and this old guy was on a bike facing my bench machine and i noticed my boy laughing, they told me and i looked and the old guy had on some like marathon running shorts and his whole damn sac was hanging.it was the sickest crap i ever seen.

LMAO!!!!

Here's one for ya...I watched a guy..a dorky guy for that matter go put 25er's on the smith machine..Here is the clincher..He then proceeds top put the collar locks on the dam bar...Which way did he go george?????Good Grief!

I've seen some weird shit to

But can't remeber..

Newbies that made up their own excercises and stuff like that

Just the other day I was doing cardio and watched a guy lug the 75lb dumbells over to a bench. He gets up on his knees but when he tried to lift 'em to do overhead presses, he dropped one of 'em and got the other one down to the floor. Instead of going with a lower weight he went and got someone to spot him. He got the weights above his head and one of 'em ending up coming down on his face! There was soo much blood, I'm pretty sure that he broke his nose; the spotter was no help at all...thing is, this guy was pretty small and I don't know how he got it in his head that he could overhead press 75lbs...

sometimes guys do mysterious things

I have seen a few guys dump their weights....and seen quite a few get pinned when benching with no spotter. That is always a good one to laugh at.

Honestly I am suprised I have never dumped weights before. I never use collars and only get a spotter for my heavy sets.

Thats a really good one!

What a dumbass!

There was 2 young guns in the gym shouting grunting and screaming their lifts up. Slamming weights onto the bar , hi fiving each other and making quite a show of themselves. UNTIL>>>
one kid says " put another big one on dude" his buddy says " go for it MF'er you got it in you today" So the kid picks up a 45lb plate and lines it up on the bar, then slams the plate into the other plates already on the bar. We heard a hedious high pitched screaming cry of pain and the kid drop to the floor.
He has smashed the head if his dick between the plate that he had just slammed onto the bar, against the other plates with all his might. He was crying out loud holding himself, as he got up he started freaking out in a panic because his hands were full of blood. He was taken away in an ambulance...we never saw those two again..... pretty damn funny,but OUCH!

Holy shit!!! That is freaking terrible...but oh so funny at the same time. What a idiot!

i see alotof funny shit when i work out in school. on one my powerlifting days a few months ago, i was doin clean and jerks, when the wrestling team comes in to work out. nothin against the team but there a few of those white trash kids that love the WWE and only wrestle because of that. well one of those kids has a severe learning disability and thinks he is the coolestthing around. he starts barking at me because he thinks he is stronger and can do the same weight as me. i tell him not to because he will hurt himself. he won't give up and tries to deadlift it. he lifts it up and is sitting on his heels then he loses his balance and falls on his ass, luckily he was so small the bar didn't crush his legs.

OMG!! that's gotta hurt, kind of funny though

Now my dumbest thing....

When I was powerlifting, I trained at a cramp , nasty hardcore gym. LOVED IT!
I was doing deadlifts with straps..NOT ATP straps for sure!( PLUG PLUG) you'll know why the couldnat have been ATP wraps shortly..ha ng on. ...

I was pretty fired up about the training session as I was training with a world class lifter, so I was PHSYCED!

The dead lift platform face into the gym with your back facing a large plate glass window.

after several warm up sets I had approached 625lbs, I wanted 3-5 reps badly. I wanted to show my partner I was coming up. I wrapped to the bar
and pulled and locked my first 2 reps very easily. I locked out rep 3 , then was bound and determined to make that 4th rep. I put the bar down, dug down as deep as I could and put everything I had into the next rep. I fired up out of the hole like a rocket and as I locked out the lift one deadlift strap tore then the other. I shot backwards like I had been kicked by a F'ing wild Bronco and crashed into the plate glass window. with a humungous crashing noise I fell backwards thru the glass ( saftey glass thank GOD!) and landed on my ass on the side walk outside the gym. I sat there dazed, not sure what the hell just happened. People came running over to see if I was OK. when they saw I was OK, they busted out laughing as I sat there with a stupid look on my face, chalk all over me, covered in little peices of safety glass and two torn dealift straps on my wrist. I was along time before I lived that down. and YES I did hurt myself slightly, as well as my pride! If your laughing at me right now,,,GO TO HELL it still aint funny to me...Well maybe a little bit funny

sounds funny .. but I will not make fun of you.. shit. torn straps

Sweat, that is a story for the ages, my friend!!! (Naturally, you will be deadlifting 900lb in several years as it is told again and again.)

-Randy

My dad bought me a membership to the local gym on my 15th birthday. All 115 pounds of me in the gym everyday. My best friend at the time-his dad was the chief of police no less-was a strong mutha-and we were the same age-name was Roger. Roger would meet me at the gym-he would catch a ride with his brother who was 5 years older than us. The brother was strong as an ox. Well Roger and I get done lifting one night-his brother is still training. My bud Roger gets the keys to the car and goes outside to warm it up. He starts the car, his bro is working out, and I am inside the gym waiting for my dad to pick me up. The bro's car was a 76 honda civic-yellow-and a stick shift. Roger had the car running, forgot it was in first gear, went to get out of the car. When he let his foot off the clutch pedal, the car jumped forward and crashed through the big plate glass window of the gym!!!LOL!

LOL... that's not good what did his brother said?
