What is the dumbest thing you've seen at the gym?

>not sucking the bbc for high test gains
are you even trying to make it?

Yesterday I was drinking my proton shaker just outside the gym and I saw a guy walking out, basically normally, except he didn't tip the receptionist. Wtf?

...

People trying to better themselves

hope he enjoys piss in hit proton shake next time haha

Happened last week

>At gym with gymbro
>Triceps/Chest day, making all kinds of gains
>Suddenly THAT guy walks in
>Longpants, hoodie, earbuds
>Fucking EARBUDS in a gym that already blasts music
>Goes straight to the squatrack without even warming up
>Starts squatting just the bar (wat)
>Adds some weight and squats like 4-5 times before having to sit down
>Unloads the bar, red as a tomato already
>Starts doing overhead press, with THE SAME FUCKING BAR
>Entiregymstaring.exe
>Does the same shit there, doesnt even use clips
>Gymowner stares at him from the receptiondesk
>Prob wonders if he´s liable if the kid kills himself
>Somehow he survives anyways, deloads the bar
>Starts DEADLIFTING WITH THE SAME BAR
>Gymbro just mouthing "what the fuck" and stops in the middle of his set
>Does one fucking set of deadlifts
>Deloads the bar and walks out
>Doesnt even fucking shower
>Comes back a couple of days later IN THE SAME FUCKING CLOTHES

Saw him weighing himself in the gym, fucktard even seemed to GAIN weight LMAO

I've seen people pulling down only one arm at a time while doing lat pulldowns. Your arm moves like 2x as far as the actual cable does, effectively creating a lever.

Some guy brings his 10 year old child to lift separately from him and the child does too much weight with bad form for every exercise

what is wrong with this

discontinued pasta

This one fucking guy.
>wears sweatpants and a sweatshirt that look like he got them out of goodwill's dumpster
>always comes in alone
>never talks to anyone
>constantly checking himself out in the mirror
>takes 5 minute rests but doesn't even lift heavy
>screws around on his phone whenever he's not lifting
>plays his own music and doesn't use earbuds
>does this for 2 hours every day and leaves
Home gym master race btw

What if I dont like the fucking music the gym plays? retard

What did he mean by this?

These two girls at my gym use the weight assisted dip/pull up machine as a leg press.

I mean I guess it technically could work but like, fuck off.

:D

FUCKING NEWFAGS GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

People lifting weights.

>a guy started bringing his two kids to the gym with him
>one is a teenager, the other is about 10-12 years old
>the teen does lifts with his dad by the free weights
>seem pretty nice, mind their own business
>the 10 year old sprints around the gym like an autistic fucking retard
>almost runs into people in the middle of their exercises

why are people so inconsiderate?

fuck

>that guy in your home gym who watches porn between sets and then works out with a boner

indeed the master race

A woman actually asked me for clips from the power rack I was using the other day. She used them on the smith machine

Odd because she looked otherwise competent

As pathetic as that may be anywhere outside the gym or on social media, the mindset you need to push absolute 100% of your physical capabilites in the gym isnt far off.

>constantly checking himself out in the mirror
i-is this a bad thing to do?
asking for a friend btw

>home gym
>watch porn between sets
>get boner
>lateral raise time
>crush penis

errytiem boys. erry time.

>then works out with a boner
what happens if you put your dick into the hole in a weight plate?
does your dick get swole and more girthy?

desu the weirdos checking you out while doing so is worse.

The mirror.

Why dont you kick your dad out of the house?

Don't even think of doing that

You're gonna lose your dick

>he doesn't do dick curls for maximum gainz

This pasta always gets me at the beginning but then I remember it exists.

You tried but your attempt of being humorous by calling good shit bad was trash. Maybe you'll make it next time.

What if I start with something really thing light, like 0.5KG then I work my way up.
In theory my penis should grow extra muscles on it and it will become girthier, right?

shit brah, could you make a Veeky Forums's guide to getting your dick swole?

At my old gym, this kid would come in when I started to do my workout
>wearing jeans
>timbs
>starts playing reggae out loud on his phone
>goes over and claims the only bench press
>starts spinning his legs like sonic the hedgehog and does sprints around the weight room
>after that, a healthy dose of shadow boxing
>don't forget, he claimed the bench press so he can do his fucking decline diamond push ups off of it
>constantly asks to work in and apparently does the same weight as everyone else
>spots me out of nowhere and starts curling my bench press shouting "one more c'mon"
>points out some powerlifter guy doing curls and calls him a loser saying "shit man, the struggle is real
Hate that guy

Why do you think the hole is there? They don't put holes on weights so you can place it on a bar, the hole is there so you can fuck the weight.

some dyel faggot had a pussy pad on the smith machine and was doing quarter squats into calf raises with like 50lbs

i'm a dyel faggot myself but wtf man

Fucking hate that

I have a video but I haven't turned it into a webm or gif yet but a week ago I saw a guy standing up, balancing on a medicine ball, with a 25 pound plate on his head, while rowing with a weighted stick like pic related

he was actually pretty fit too

Some Indian guy used the dip belt as a deadlifting belt

Thanks for reminding me it´s still summer

upload it somewhere and ill convert to webm

There's this one kid around like 12 that hangs out in my gym all the time. I think he's the owner's son or something.
He doesn't run around (because he's kinda fat) but he just lazily does circuits of all the machines. He puts on light weight then does a single set and then moves on.
You can tell he's only there because his dad is forcing him to.
But it's just annoying to have this kid everywhere

I don't do this, but why would that be a problem? Why would doing lat pull downs one arm at a time be any less beneficial than doing both at once?

Once I read on the internet bout a guy who did that and couldn't pull out his dick of the plate so the the doctors had to cut his dick

Stop trying to be retarded user

Stop being autistic and complain to management. You pay to work out at a gym, not a daycare center. If they don't do something about it, change gyms. Disruptive behavior is a catch-all in almost every single gym's terms.

I had to help a girl remove clips from the smith machine that she put on there herself.

Newfags get out

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The penis doesn't have any muscles inside. When you get an erection it gets filled with blood, it doesn't "flex"
Nigga do you even anatomy?

A massive woman doing assisted kipping pull ups set at 100 pounds. Never have I experienced so much weight slammed so many times so quickly.

>Be at gym
>This bitch comes in with her two little brats
>Running around my feet when doing deads
>Lose focus, drop the weight during a rep
>Slams down inches from the kids feet
>The bitch goes hysterical, yells at me to stop lifting around her kids
>Jesus christ how is this my fault
>Tell her to gtfo and take her rats with her
>Yells at me some more then walks out the door with the brats
>Says she´s never coming back here again
>Fuckyes.jpg

Homegym masterrace

People doing upright rows

I watched a girl wrap a yoga mat around a barbell and load it with 10s on each side, then proceed to attempt to do barbell hip thrusts off a bench. She didn't even take the barbell from the extra barbell rack. She took it from a bench press station from across the room

>upright rows

Enjoy rotator cuff injuries

Can never do these without hurting my wrists somehow. Is there any point in doing them if you already do latraises?

A guy doing leg press shit on the smith machine when the gym has two leg press machines which were empty. The thing shook like it would fall down several times. Then a gril took the machine and did the same shit except one leg at a time and with less weight. I am still confused.

This is the best fucking excercise for building your delts in the history of the universe, and it's also the best for shredding you rotator cuffs. Feels bad dude.

It's totally fine if you switch out the bar an for a handle and sit to the side but if you just use the standard bar you're going to throw it out of balance and not get an even shittier ROM. I have seen some people just put their hand in the middle of the bar to avoid the imbalance and I guess that's fine.

There's nothing wrong with trying to hit your muscles in different ways, but i so frequently see dipshits use the cable machines in ways that demonstrate they didn't even bother looking at how to do certain exercises and they swing around wildly without any consideration for form.

There's something about the cable machines that allow for experimentation (unlike the regular machines that force you to do the exercise a specific way) but aren't as intimidating to newbies as the free weights are. So they just go wild.

I see some weird shit with free weights on occasion, but not as much.

he wants to be hit on too thats why he is a receptionist

I love upright rows. The forearms are the one part of me I'm 100% happy with and i love watching them ripple in the mirror doing upright rows. Best part of my workout.

Classic pasta

Like he got underneath and pushed up against the bar with his feet?

Yes. Is this normal?

That's the point of my post they will completely fuck your shit up
Dunno, but i would avoid, tried it once by myself and felt completely unnatural, looked it up and found out why (internal rotation).

For shoulders i just do ohp, with lateral raises(standing) and front raises (seated), am going to start doing rear delt exercises as well too.

No it's completely retarded

But apparently google disagrees. There are lots of pics of people doing it.

kekd
first time I see this one

fucking cunts what can ya do

cheat rows are the shit

I once saw a girl in the gym lmao wtf is it doing there girls are shit amirite brehs

I see this all the time. I always wonder whether or not it's some retarded Crossfit exercise.

I would think the only reason to do this is in a home gym without a leg press. Even then, just do squats and get a squat rack instead of a smith machine.

I'd be impressed if he was using one of these blow up exercise balls. Suggest it to him if you ever see him again

I use that machine for calf raises. Doing calf raises with weight on my back hurts my lower back. I don't know if my gyms is the same as yours. It looks older than me. Chain driven and shit.

>only exercise that fully expresses ones sexual orientation.

Plz don't do this.

i chuckled

Stupid roastie instawhore cardio bunny bitch tried unloading chads 3pl8 squat one entire side at a time and busted a hole in the floor dropping that shit like thors hammer. I also saw some dipshit benching a 45lb ez curl instead of a normal bar for warmups

>ex colleague from work happens to train in the same gym
>he's a nice guy, same height and weight
>fuck yeah new gym buddy
>starts hating on me while training because i lift more sometimes
>try to laugh it off
>"your form is shit, thats why you lift more"
>"don't take such long rests"
>"why do you listen to metal while training?"
>"you're cheating"
>constantly looking for competition
>never deadlifts PR because he wants to wear a belt when he deadlifts anything above 3 plate
>he's 34, i am 21
>he still lives with his parents
>stopped responding to his texts asking if I wanted to train together
>started working out on times he wasn't there

I fucking hate this guy.

I saw a guy do wide swing alternating cheat curls with two diffrent sized dumbells. One was 4 kg heavier than the other
Said he couldn't do the bigger weight yet, so he alternates hands, which somehow allows him to get more work in?

The kicker is, the dude was a twig and the dbs were literally the weight our local 210lbs bodybuilder uses, the guy who's does 308lbs seated OHP triples has arms bigger than the mismatched db dude's torso.

Have you ever used a leg press that was positioned that way? I think it's called a vertical leg press. There's a cool gym called quads in Chicago. They have one. I'm not a fan of it but I know people that like it. The position looks very similar.

>woman
>competent

1 only

>watching dyels actually doing starting strength

Never did it but I know the program from browsing Veeky Forums

I just wanna go up to them and let them know that SS is just a meme and save them from a shit t-rex body

>whole class is staring, giggling and covering mouths
>everyone thought I loved being in the leg machine

The pudgy DYEL newbie who looks like a creepy sex pest hunchback anime-watching motherfucker who spend half his entire gym session warming up by retardedly flailing his arms around like a chicken with Down's syndrome, and spends the other half of his gym time with some clueless fuckaround routine consisting of one set on this machine, wandering around aimlessly for ten minutes, then another set on another random machine

Damn, well it would almost be strange if he wasnt insecure if he lived with his parents at 34. Imagine his lifting being his only accomplishment ever and then getting wrekt by a 21-year old. You should get that guy some help

Damn, was she thicc?

this. microplates are 40$ for 5lbs seems like a waste

doesn't really seem like that big of a deal to me. you're supposed to do hip thrusts off of a bench and it's more comfortable with a cushion, who cares?

good stuff.
