1.How many times have you spotted someone from like 20 feet away that is strangling or about to strangle themselves with a bar while attempting to bench to much without a spotter. Then you have to do what I call the running hero maneuver and jog over to them (typically ripping out your head phones) and lift the bar off their dying body. If it is a female I approach from the front and straddle the bench, leaving my crouch directly over their mouth. Just kidding on that last part.
2.This next one happens on the over head row machine. You're lifting a lot of weight (obviously) and you need to use your bodies momentum to pull the weight down. So you swing down and hook your knees under the brace....along with your head phone cord, thus pulling them from your ears and ruining your set. Whats the solution? Before you grab the bar and do your swing down, you place your head phone cord in your mouth. I dont have a catchy name for this one but im sure I am not the only one that dose this.
3. The donkey kong! This one is when you are attempting military press with no lifting partner. So, while standing, you swing the weights back and when they come forward you swing as hard as you can and get the weight on your shoulders. Now you have them heavy ass weights on your shoulders and slowly back up using the mirror to guide you between the seat, then you slowly squat down and begin, an acceptable replacement for this is the knee kicker lean back combo.
4. Territory marking. This is simple. You bring along something with you that you normally wouldn't for the soul purpose of marking your seat when you're taking a break for a drink or Prework out poop. Nothing is worse than loosing you seat when you were only gone for a few seconds. Typically if I don't have a water bottle, Ill grab a stretch band and leave it on or next to the seat whilst I get my drink.
What other maneuvers do you employ?
