    Lightbulb Craziest thing you have seen in a gym

    I have never been so surprised or frightened by the things I have seen in a gym. Was wondering if you guys had similar funny stories, especially when all the new years resolutions people come out. I have said to myself "what's that guy thinking...he's going to be hurting tomorrow!"

    One funny story:

    I was at a gym in Windsor Ontario when I see this guy, with pretty good sized arms come down the stairs. He's wearing sandals, cargo shorts, and a tank top. He walks over to the dumbells, grabs 80lbs in each hand and then starts swinging them trying to do dumbell bi curls. Basically using momentum to get them up and catching them at the top.

    The gym was pretty packed but everyone was stunned and slowly stepped out of his range in case one of them flew across the room. He did like two sets and then walked out. He would do this about once a month and then never do anything else other than that.

    I have seen a lot more than that.

    fights, big(fat i mean) people getting pissed off that they cant get on what they want or the person doesnt wipe down the piece(just bugs me), and my fav, the older woman with big fake boobs, fake lips, who come in and does just about a erotic show to impress the dudes... that to me is so funny like it is a dating club.

    The MILFS don't bother me one bit. Wait, yeah they do they bother me a lot. It gets kind of hard to focus some times.

    I once saw a dude doing flat bench while his partner simultaneously did upright rows for about 8reps of a weight I guarantee you he could not do once on his own.

    I saw a guy do the 120lb dumbells in each hand for seated military press. Did them for 5 reps and got them up by himself. pretty amazing! He weighed maybe 220lbs max.

    I saw this tooth-pick of a girl go flying off a trend-mill, while talking on her cell phone, and face-planted. **(DSM: please upload video of fat kid falling on tread mill. haha.)** She actually really hurt herself too, she definitely didn't walk off the injury lol.

    I used to goto golds in VA, beach and there was all kinds of funny stuff going on there. Gym hoes, bros, gays ect ect I mean it could be a really funny place at any given time. Now i'm at a little hole in the wall back in NC. TONS of equipment. I gave the guy 120 for 6 months and he hands me a key to the front door says 24/7 come when you like. Hardly ever anyone even there unless it's 6pm-8pm. I really like it.

    I saw a guys spotter lift 225 off the racks on bench into his partners teeth before the the guy was ready. he manage to catch it and cusion the blow a little but it still broke his jaw and sent teeth and gums flying. It was pretty gross I felt bad for the guy you could tell he was hurt bad.

    I did pushups with a treadmill on my back with my training partner running on it. Got kicked out of the gym and my membership revoked for using equipment incorrectly.

    Leg Press

    Dude, loaded it to the edges with 45s, then had his gf or wife sit on top.
    and they were full leg presses, not that half ass shit.

    There is this guy that works out at my gym. He must weigh 350-400 pounds. He brings one of those big ass jugs of Gatorade to the gym and drinks the entire thing while he lifts. To make it worse, the other day I was taking a piss in the men's room and he walks in. He walks up to the stall next to me to take a piss and pulls the old 4-year old kid move by pulling his pants all the way down to his knees to take a piss!!!! I laughed so hard that I cried.

    One time in the gym I was doing dips and in front of me was a guy doing squats. After he completed his sets he started unloading the weights and he started on one side only and after he pulled the last 45 off the bar fliped up and over, due to the other side still being loaded, and right on the guy next to him doing reverse set-ups. Smacked him right on the hammy's. The poor guy just stood leaning against the mirror for awhile till he could walk it off.

    I would have knocked that mofo out that was doing squats.

    I did go on a call where a guy was doing close grip benches, not sure what happened but he didnt get it racked and it came down on his mouth and broke 1/2 his teeth, the other 1/2 that were still in his gums were pointed towards his throat.

    Had another guy go to drop 80 lbs DB's down after doing flat benches. Another DB had rolled over by his bench and his forefinger came down on the wheel of the other DB while the 80's were still in his hand. One of the better compound fractures I have seen.

    I'm sure everybody has atleast seen one person fall off the treadmill. Old women one time at a planet fitness(worst gym in the nation btw) ****ed up while she was jogging, maybe around 4.5mph and went down. It's not funny, but it's hard not to laugh.

    I saw a dude at the gym wearing make-up...like a girl would. He had a crazy look in his eyes, too. Scary. Reminded me of Andrew Cunanan.

    OMG, I saw a guy three days ago at the Goodlife here in London, who was wearing a full body suit (like all black tights), a very well kept mullet, trimmed eyebrows and eyeliner or mascera (sp?). It was freaky. I couldn't believe it.

    The best is when a guy brings in his gf, who often isn't that great looking, and then tries to do a lot more weight than he can otherwise. It is always so funny. I saw this one guy, loaded the bench with 225, barely gets half a rep out, puts the bar back on, and then complains about something like being tired or grip or sore hand. then his gf takes off the plates for him and she wasn't more than 110lbs. poor girl. i should of bitch slapped him.
