    Took my little girl to watch the new Jurassic park.
    Not a fucking thing in my life I have done right until my two kids and my current gf.

    Wish I could get my 20's back

    Anyway, there was some dude doing flat dumbbell press on a bench, he had finished his set thrown his weights down in front of him and sat up at the end of the bench, head was facing down.. headphone on, in gym mode.

    This Chinese dude, decided to sit on the end of the bench (where the benchers head goes) and started doing bicep curls… So the bencher grabs his weights after his rest and at this point still hasn’t noticed this dude sat on his bench doing curls, he threw his weights back, knocked the Chinese dude off the bench… weights went flying, glasses fell on the floor… he asked him what he was doing and he said I was curling the dumbbells and he shook his head and they went their separate ways.

    I could have stopped it from happening, but I just watched it happen….

    An embarrassing moment for me, some big dude asked me to spot him on the bench, I was about 17, he was benching, pushed out about 5 or 6, started to struggle, I leant over to help him a and a drop of sweat fell from my chin and landed on his face. He didn’t ask for a spot since..

    I always have my headphones on in the gym and dont look at people who look like they need a spot, that way they cant ask. And if they do, I can pretend I cant hear them. Fuck a spot, roll the bar down your body to your waist and stand up, or risk your life and go for the suicide pins like a man!

    There was this old dude that would hand on the pull up bars and raise his feet between is arms, and while still hanging onto the bar, would do this back-flip thingy so his arms were jacked in the wrong direction. Did this with sets and reps too. I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish. He swung his legs up, so it wasnt for abs.

    Love these! The list is endless! Anytime I train family or friends I pretty much point out the “don’t do that’s.” Haha

    There was a trainer at my gym that had been training for several years, who actually trained his clients to bench like that! It was basically a reverse shrug on a bench! Smh!

    There's an actual movement like that and it targets the serratus anterior, got to be done at the incline bench though.

    Someone at gym was pressing with his legs crossed at the seated chest press machine, like hey, it's coffee time.

    Used to be a guy at my gym everyday -

    Would come in with an extra large fountain drink from chick fil a and drink it through his workout like it was BCAAS. Only did a maximum of 3 reps of weight that was clearly way to heavy for him and wore sunglasses the entire time indoors. I was truly amazed

    A fat old hag in my gym keeps standing directly in front of the massive cooling fan that has been brought in as we are having really warm weather just now

    As soon as she comes off the rowing machine, she stands and blows old fanny sweat off her and circulates it through the entire room

    Lovely

    Decades ago at my favorite gym there was a guy who would put about 315 or so on the bar (benching) and fail miserably where guys would have to run over and save him. He's sit there for 5 minutes or so then add more weight and do it again. I refused to help him. The gym owners would disappear when he did it, hoping he'd die.

    I would have done like the gym owners. Let nature take care of things.

    This was a couple days ago. Gross! And it's not an isolated incident. He always does this regardless of what exercise he's doing. No sense of hygiene or etiquette, for cryin' outloud

    Oh I thought it was some weird barefoot laying down ritual.

    Barefoot in gym? Who's he think he is, Arnold?

    That's pretty disgusting actually, I hate feet, they gross me out.

    Even pretty lady feet creep me out.

    My nightmares don't involve me naked in school, the involve me being sockless

    Craziest thing I've seen, is in locker room and a no nonsense type gym I belong to.

    Out in the open juice deals and use.

    I guess one of the weirder things that happened was a tweaker that came wandering up about 3 a.m. when I was in my shop lifting. Said he dropped his pipe ( basically a glass dick for smoking meth) and wanted to know if I had a clear light bulb he could have, and wanted to know if Easy, one of my mastiffs that was getting ready to tear out his throat, was a black bear.
    I explained that the fact I could see him told me 2 things:

    1). He was trespassing.
    2). He probably needed to be shot.




    I have no patience with crackheads, speed freaks, and tweakers.

    Crackheads steal your shit and bounce.
    Chronic ass tweakers will steal your shit and come back to help you look for it.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
