What is the funnyist or weirdest thing you have seen at the gym?
I remember a skinny kid comming into a gym I was working out at.
Every day he would strip down to a wifebeater tanktop and hang from
the chin-up bar - just do sets of hanging. We finally figured out he was
trying to do pull-ups by the contortions on his face. Never moved a inch.
That wasent the funny part - between sets of hanging he would pose
in the mirror. Side chest, double bicep, crab ect. (remember this had to
be the skinniest guy I have ever seen - with a really big head) I would
look around and everybody would just stare in disbelief with their mouth
hanging open. He would also get really close to the mirror to check out
his arms. Once we got over the shock there was no way we could stop
laughing. Kid lasted about two months. Dam that was funny!
 
I saw a guy doin crunches on a bench today... what is he too good for the floor?
 
I saw this guy, actually a couple of them, that come into the gym with the "high rise" shirt. A.K.A. a t-shirt they cut the bottom half off of so they can show their abs.

then they come in and do abs all day and pose between sets.

also saw a woman come into the gym. not great looking but not terrible. Apparently she had a ass-esteem problem. She did these weird exercises by the free weights (which is a sausage fest at 5pm) and does this weird exercise to show her ass. I dont know why though. Her breats were HUGE and she didn't need an ass to get mens attention.

Now don't be mean, it took me a few years but I'm finally now able to do 3 pull ups unassisted and I'm not so skinny so watch out!
 
We had this girl working out at our gym that was an old style PL hardcore gym. She would stand and do DB curls with 5lbs and maon and graon like she was getting the best sex of her life!

The guys would have to stop thier lifts because they couldn't concentrate with all those sounds that sounded exactly like sex.
 
Last week this really skinny kid started working out at my gym. Now there are alot of those there so it wouldn't be anything to talk about, except for the way he works out. He wants to be a UFC fighter, the guy weighs about 160 and he's 6'0 and not very muscular. But that's alright...that's why you go to the gym. Well I was doing some squats and I heard what sounded like someone dropping some weights, now you've got to understand there's like 2 people on treadmills, me and this guy and that's it. Then I hear it again, this time with a grunt. I rack the weight b/c my concentration is completely gone and look over to see this kid standing about a foot away from the cable machine and then jumping at it and throwing an elbow into the machine. Granted there as a pad on the spot he was elbowing, but COME ON!!! and with a grunt everytime. I had to ask him to stop it until I finished my squats. Absolutely ridiculous.
 
there was a tool at my old gym who would spend most of his day Saturday and Sunday at the gym, he would basically go from circuit machine to machine with a newspaper and a cup of coffee and sit and read the paper and do a half hearted set and then sit for 10 or 15 minutes and then move onto another machine and drink some coffee, read the paper a bit and do another set. The worst thing about him was that he would ALWAYS wear an NYPD t-shirt and matching baseball cap and he was clearly not with the force. He would try and start up conversations with everyone and bug the shit out of people so finally I just pointed to him and called him over and asked what precinct he was with... he was dumbfounded and didn't have any answer. So I said, "you're walking around like a billboard for the NYPD and by the shape you're in you're giving them a bad name." My partner and a bunch of members just broke out laughing and the guy chuckled and walked away. I didn't see him for about 2 weeks and he finally started comiing back in but never wore the NYPD stuff again.
 
Mike - isn't your pull up bar 3' off the ground. LOL
We had anouther guy at the same gym - older guy who looked like he never worked
out (but should). He would go around telling people what they were doing wrong and
what they should be doing. I was in pretty good shape and he tried to tell me how
I should be doing a exercise. I asked him real loud - If I follow your advice will I look
like you in 6 months? He was speachless. Never talked to me again.

no fucking way...he carried a paper and a cup of coffee???
 
I've seen that also. Those are the people who say that they work out but just cant
loose weight. They just cant understand why.
 
B2S that is one of the funniest stories I have ever heard. Were there camera's at your gym. That would be something worth watching again, and again, and again...LMAO
 
B2S, that was funny. One more. Back in the late 70's there was a guy at the gym
we called "Screaming Steve" cus he was always Screaming through his sets. He was
kind of bult like Mike Katz (one of the guys from "Pumping Iron") HUGE chest - that
was about it. He was getting ready to compete in a local show and was working legs
in a old upside leg press. He was on one of his last reps - SCREAMING - did I forget to
say he was trying dieretics for the first time (for his upcoming show) and was wearing
some short yellow shorts - a bunch of us were watching when all of a sudden his ass
EXPLODED !!!! Shit was flying. He jumped up and bolted to the can. We were rolling on the ground. I start laughing every time I think about it.
 
You guys all have some great stories. Nothing really funny happens at my gym. The most funny thing I can think of was one thin guy who would do a couple of sets at one machine, then he would start walking around the entire weight room with a kind of bounce from heel to toe like he was power walking (but with a bounce). So this guy walks through and around different machines to do this "walk" for about twice around the weight area then goes to a different machine and does two sets with a light weight. Yeah--see? Not really that funny although it was sort of comical to see him bouncing up and down as he walked through all the machines.

I used to work for Mike Katz and His partner Jerry at World Gym in Hamden, CT ... the gym where Hulk Hoagan and the original WWF wrestlers started all thier workouts for the matches... mega wide chest... his partner was ripped as a young guy, but overall dicks to work for.. lol
 
k... this is wrong.. but .. the funniest thing i've ever seen at the gym was... after house when the i locked the doors and closed the gym... my wife and I worked out... then we had our own workout :satan:

we were on a leg machine for curling the hammies... well .. we were on it backwards.. :moon: the funny parts is when i kept seeing peoples' faces on the bench where my balls were the next day.. :shocked:

wrong.. but it was funny in my mind... at the time anyway..

ROTFLMFAO.....that is both wrong and so right at the same time. I would feel a little bad for the people I liked, but the pricks I would encourage to use that machine..."we just oiled it up for you yesterday"....bwahahahahaah
 
Stickler - now THAT'S funny. Wow, you worked for Mike Katz. He was big but his
chest just seemed out of porportion with the rest of him. I just remember
that big fucking chest.
