Stupid stuff you see in the gym

csuperman · Oct 21, 2013

So today there was a guy with a barbell, he then took that barbell and put in on the handle of a dumbbell (in a cross fashion) so that he could balance it while keeping the dumbbell from rolling put his feet up on the bar behind him in the power rack and then proceeded to do push ups. How fucking stupid can people get.

O yea I searched for a visual example none out there, he must have though this crap up himself.

There's a thin old guy that comes in my gym, and bless his heart for trying to keep fit at an old age, but he goes around almost every machine in the place doing one set here, moves to another machine and does a single set, moves to another one and so on, sometimes going back to one he did earlier. It's almost like he has to do one small set on each machine there is in the gym. If you're on one machine and you walk off briefly to get a drink from the fountain, if he happens to be near your machine he will pop on to the one you were just using, and then you have to wait until he's done his set. Drives me nuts.

BigZ, hes prolly doing a Curves routine you know the gym where only ladies can join and they jump from station to station when the buzzer goes off lol

Lol... Yeah, I've recently changed gyms, it's a place that an old Powerlifter opened up, it's not that big, but it's got everything you could want, and most of the people going there know what they are doing, but the big box gyms, you see the craziest shit. People really do just make shit up, I really don't get it, but oh well, fun to watch.

true story. I maintain a membership at a chain gym(Just Fitness 4 You) for my yoga and to do little things like arms and when I don't feel like staying until 10pm because everyone I train with works late.

I think every gym has a guy like that. Or they load up the leg press never release it from the pegs, and proceed to do a 1" rep.

yes we all know its about functionality and the ever important core, that's all you need to be fit, function and a "tight" core

These people frequently forget the function of the diaphragm in breathing. lol

Years ago when negatives were supposed to be the key there was a guy who would strap a 150 lb dumbell to his
waist and do "ONE" negative pull up and that was all for his back. Just lower himself once. His results were just
what you would expect. NOTHING. lol Also around that time I had a chick tell me she read where negatives were
what built the muscle so she was going to just walk DOWN stairs to get her legs buffed. Lazyness will make you
believe anything. lol

The old guy I mentioned was in this morning. Saw him get up on a stool to grab the pull up bars, pulls himself up and then proceeds to swing his legs back and forth for about 20 seconds then gets down. I think he was trying to work his abs somehow, lol. I know it's good for him to try to stay fit at his age, but he really does some funny stuff.
