**ninesecz** · 07-16-2009, 08:25 PM

C'mon everyone Every gym has a t least one....Ya know they guy who has no idea how to train properly, or the guy who has been training for 10 years and has not changed his physique at all. Or how about the guy who screams and grunts!
M<aybe you have some asshole who never rack the weights!!
Lets share some ignorance stories!!.

**ninesecz** · 07-16-2009, 08:28 PM

Best one in my new gym is this 45 year old 170# Guy where knee high sock and runs around grunting and screaming whether he is curling or squatting. Now this guy loadputs the pin at 550# on the standing calve raise then puts 3 plates on top of that he then puts his whole foot on the foot plate and proceeds to move his foot up and down maybe 1/2 " screaming the entire time. could not be farther from the corect movement if he tried! It is just the most annoying thing I have ever seen i want to actually slap this guy and show him the way but I just don think it is worth it!

**spywizard** · 07-16-2009, 08:30 PM

We have one... works out 3 hours a day, reads every muscle mag out there, and assumes people care.. it's an issue..

Haha I had a calf machine grunter in my gym today. From the sound this guy was making, you would have thought he was squatting 800 pounds

this guy , he has been training for 2 months and he obviously knows nothing about putting on muscle , he should really get a life

**Phate** · 07-16-2009, 09:39 PM

we have a couple

guy 1) only works chest, no biceps, no legs, just chest, and he'll come in, warm up, put 405 on the bar and then have 3-4 people come spot him, but first he'll walk around grunting and psyching himself up, then he does a 1/4 bench press ROM while his spotters do a deadlift to help him do his 1 rep, he'll do this for 20-30 sets

guy 2) had a 35lb easy curl bar today with 2 25s on each side for a total of 135lbs, he then proceded to arch forward and practically power clean the bar(but he was trying to hit biceps), i was talking with a friend of mine at the time who just placed first in a competition in the middle-weight class and we couldn't stop laughing

guys 3-5 are personal trainers at my gym......enough said

**KatsMeow** · 07-16-2009, 09:40 PM

it drives me nuts to watch the ladies that come into lady golds and switch between leg equipment and upper body equipment doing one set of 20 at virtually no weight as fast as they can

**yucon92** · 07-16-2009, 10:40 PM

i was doing straitbar curls with 145# (cheating just slightly just trying to give the muscles a little shock) when thisstupid kid came up and told me im doing it wrong then goes and gets a 20#bar and curls it 6 time with perfect form and says "thats how you make them grow" haha 20 pound bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6 reps

**TractionIssues** · 07-17-2009, 12:16 AM

Got these 2 kids that come in that never take showers and only do bicep curls, THAT'S IT! They grab 40's which is small but for them is too much because they swing the ****er with a big momentum and lift their elbows up, then they drop set and continue doing it with terrible stance and annoying grunts... Anyway it's been a few months and they are still the same size. By the way did I mention they stop and talk about what car they supossedly beat in their stock honda civic's between every set? Earlier today they beat a porsche

**Gaspari1255** · 07-17-2009, 12:27 AM

These three dildos come in every once in a while. They can't even military press 95lbs on the smith machine yet they're front raising 50lb DBs to look cool. I call it the lean with it rock with it crew. Super annoying.

***t-gunz*** · 07-17-2009, 02:52 AM

there some good storys there lol

lucky for me i train at home with a good mate of mine so we don't have to worry about dickheads. i guess it's worth spending $$$$ to train without people you can't stand

Theres also a guy who just decides since he is bigger than me he will always attempt to outlift me.. He watched me do 360 on the flatbench and he decides he can do that. SOB almost died under the bar.. lol, we had to run over and help him before he crushed his skull. stupid!!

**vpchill** · 07-17-2009, 06:47 AM

This other guy, Hes not an idiot. we are actually cool. It just pisses me off he comes in the gym for 20min and looks like mr olimpia!!! 5min are spent talking the other 15 barely lifting anything.. Yet he looks freakin amazing.

**Matt** · 07-17-2009, 06:47 AM

**Dukkit** · 07-17-2009, 06:49 AM

hmm
the 18 year old chinese kid who is 5'5 and puts 6 plates on each side of the leg press.

then goes about pressing the weight about an inch as he moans and strains like hes taking a bloody shit.

then rakes the weight and looks around like everyone should be watchin him

**Matt** · 07-17-2009, 06:49 AM

**Mooseman33** · 07-17-2009, 09:19 AM

last night there was a guy standing in front of dumbells doing bicept curls with the 15's, however this jerkoff was rotating stand on one leg per side...i mean really, WTF...

**ninesecz** · 07-17-2009, 09:30 AM

Had a guy at my last gym that used to wear 3-4 T-Michael Shirts to make himself look bigger and used to do this wierd thing after every set where he would like pull down on each side of them and then yank the collar down. it was the weirdest thing and the guy had been working out for several years! Still had a pot belly and no definition.

**energizer bunny** · 07-17-2009, 09:42 AM

Both !

I want to go up to him so bad and ask him to go parallel so i can watch him fall on his ass but i just leave it be. Funny thing is he squats on the same days as me and we always end up squatting side-by-side. Him on squat box me in power rack.

**Juturna** · 07-17-2009, 05:50 PM

1. Small issue; Kid (Probably 17) comes in to the gym every single day with a new friend, wearing a backpack. Literally a Jansport backpack that he does not take off for anything. I mean anything, shoulders, back, benchpress.. It's on...

2. 3/5 personal trainers at the gym are above 20% bodyfat. Well above..

***D7M*** · 07-17-2009, 05:54 PM

literally saw a kid today with this on the back of his shirt:

"No I"m not on steroids "

No shit, I thought to myself,

You're about 6'1" and probably a whopping 170.

**Hazard** · 07-17-2009, 06:25 PM

I work-out at home with myfather..... but every now and then we gotoalocalgym to use the machines tohit shoulders a new way..... Theres a bald guy there..... has SOME size but not considered "BIG" - he chronically calls out bigger people. I over hear him say things like "Look at that heffer...." and he's always checking out the good looking ones.

People are at the gym to improve themselves...... they don't need to hear this crap 2nd hand from someone else.....

~Haz~

**UncleD** · 07-17-2009, 06:46 PM

**ninesecz** · 07-18-2009, 12:21 PM

It is really sad that some people go through life thinking they are gods gift but they are actually gods trash

**Dont wanna be old** · 07-18-2009, 01:49 PM

I work with a guy that does alot of talking , So I drive across town to learn how to man up . The decline bench is where real men go ! He requires a lift off and you follow him down and nudge him up . He goes up to 300 and does about 80 % of the weight . jumps up goes around and high fives everyone , I'm like OMG ! Then he's going to try 350 . He's hitting himself in the head , hyper breathing or some shit , growling . Needless to say I told him never try that again . It's was to hard for me to deadlift the weight off him . But he still ran around high fiving people . I felt like a contributed to a retarded spectacle .
Glad no 1 knew me there .

**energizer bunny** · 07-18-2009, 02:02 PM

ha ha ha i hate high fivers....

**canadian meat** · 07-18-2009, 02:12 PM

I watched a kid at my gym a couple nights ago straight up pick the dumbell up from the rack and drop it on the floor and kick it over to the bench to do his press,on his last set he dropped the 105 pound dumbell on his foot he didnt cry didnt screem just left the gym right away I cant imagin how bad that must of hurt.

**Psychotron** · 07-18-2009, 02:30 PM

I don't pay attention to other people to really let them bother me unless they're doing something dangerous near me, so I don't really care what anyone is doing.

**Chitown Raider** · 07-18-2009, 03:18 PM

I hate when people workout in street or work clothes. There is a reason why there's a sign that states wear appropriate clothing. No one wants to use a bench or machine after you've been dumpster diving all day w/ your stained and dirty clothes. The trainers who look like they haven't touched a weight in their life. The fat slobs who pay the trainers $75-100 a hour that do a couple exercises then sit there and chat to the trainer the whole time. How in the hell do you expect to see any progress if your running your triple chinned mouth majority of your workout?
