Whats the weirdest/craziest thing you have seen someone do at the gym?
I've seen shit dribbling from a guy's shorts once. Was fucking disgusting and everyone except me left the place, I had paid a lot so I wasn't going to quit despite having someone shitting next to me.
>>36488422
people paying $ to do something that they could do for free somewhere else and get better results
Haven't been going that long, but so far the oddest thing was this dude practicing his golf swing between sets.
I've seen a guy come in and start doing the most retarded kipping crossfit pullups on that combo machine where it has 2 adjustable cable pulleys, lat Milltown, seated row, etc., anyway, his pullups are causing the entire apparatus vibrate to the point where almost everyone has to stop their shit and wait for this guy.
Later on, same guy boards all the boxes, stacks them all different heights and is jumping from one to another. Holding dumbbells. A staff member politely asks him if what he's doing is necessary and couldn't he use another method to work whatever he's working.
>"Nah, it's fine. Nothing you have here can replace what I'm needed. Part of crossfit involves dynmic movement"
>"Then I'm going to have to ask you to tear down what you're doing and stop. It's unsafe and a misuse of equipment."
>"Oh really? I'm using dumbbells at my sides, I'm using boxes for box jumps, exactly what they're designed for"
>"They are not meant as a obstacle course. You have a 6 box high column."
>"And I'm still using box jumps for their purpose. It's not my fault you've never seen crossfit"
Pic related, the staff's face.

Fucking autocorrect everywhere
Saw a dude spotting another dude while he OHPed in the Smith machine. Like, standing against him from behind and helping him with the lift
They were both big guys, bald, and in their 40s. I'm assuming at least gay on the DL
>>36488794
I saw a guy doing chinups with a guy behind him to assist by holding his ass.
>>36488728
waat
I saw guys throwing medicine balls between safeties on the power rack. Like they set both safeties on one side of the power rack, and threw a medicine ball between both sets of safeties to the guy in the other power rack. Sometimes they'd jump and through the medicine ball over the power rack and into the other like a basketball shot. This looked incredibly retarded, but also like a lot of fun.

Why would Tom Cruise be working at a gym, jackass.
>>36488422
my gym has racketball rooms right next to the pull up bars and once I saw this guy who would do one pull up and then run full sprint into the racketball room and shout at the top of his lungs "YEAAAHHHHHHHHHH" and then come out and do another pullup. I think he thought the rooms were sound proof but they aren't and everyone around was giving him weird looks.
>>36489003
where can I get one of those? They sound dope
>>36488728
Hahahahahah

I work full time and my gym membership is literally pocket change.
I saw a fatty playing a nintendo DS on the treadmill once.
>>36489115
why would you waste your money if you can do everything you want outside the gym
if it's $30 a month for a membership that's $360 a year that you could be using on other shit
>>36489141
I enjoy going though
>>36489147
please lift weights
>>36489141
I make $360 in 2 days of work.
Anyway I like the gym as it gets my out of the house and I can meet people there.
>>36489162
why don't you change your routine?
>>36488932
This is why I'm glad the manager at my current gym inspects every piece of equipment every single day.
This should be standard procedure anyway in my opinion, but you'd be amazed how many gyms just don't give a shit about possible hazards like that.
>>36488794
I do this for assistance on the last rep. Not really "spotting"
>>36489183
I wish my gym would fucking enforce the "Put the fucking dumbbells back" back. I swear to god the 25lb and 30lb weights go on vacation sometimes, often not seen for whole days until they mystically reappear on the rack

The EZ curl bars disappear a lot in my gym. It pisses everyone off, then when you go to find them it's a god damn retarded Easter egg hunt.
WHO THE FUCK KEEPS TAKING THE 7OLB EZ BAR TO THE BASKETBALL COURT?! WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP FINDING THE 60LB BAR STANDING UP NEXT TO THE FUCKING LEG CURL MACHINE BEING USED AS A FUCKING MINI TABLE FOR A WATER BOTTLE?!
Shit's annoying.
>>36489229
>>36489229
Are you retarded son? Either I can drop a couple hundred dollars on a home gym, or I can have every piece of I need equipment for $360 a year. Also because I'm a healthy adult I genuinely enjoy being around other people.
>>36489229
Are you talking about curling jugs of milk or hanging out at the mall entrance and squat every 4th person?
>>36489229
What is there to lift outside that's pre-weighed?
Should we go out and pick up logs and boulders then put them back down?

It was a female.
Good head tho.
Once saw a oldish man bring several (about 7 or 8 i dont remember) different towels into the gym, sits down on the bench press making sure the towels covered the entire bench where he was laying, a towel wrapped around the bar and he would wrap the towels around his hand while he changed weights and moved the bar from the safety catch when he failed a set.
Apart from that, he went pretty ham for a twigly old guy but it still was quite odd. Did the same shit when he moved over to the machines. I just watched him in fascination.

As long as he was still walking, I don't see the issue.
It's called multitasking.
>>36489621
it means to get hit in the head, i dont know wtf he was talking about because he was listening to his ipod.
Sometimes when it's quiet I sit on the gym shower floor and pretend I'm a girl that's been raped (I'm a guy IRL).
I sit and hold my head in my hands and rock back and forth sobbing quietly, then I quickly splash the water over my face and wipe the imaginary mascara off my eyes until it runs down my cheeks. At this point I'm usually fairly distraught.
Next, I open my mouth and wash the imaginary semen out. I make sure I gag and splutter, sometimes I even put my fingers down my throat to make sure it's all gone. The final stage is the most emotionally draining part of the entire ordeal.
I stand up, put my ass under the shower flow, then lean forward and begin to wash the rapists cum out of my asshole and "vagina" (I just pretend). I do this for quite a while, making sure it's all gone.
Then I collapse on the floor again and just break down hysterically. No girl should ever go what I just went through, all men are animals.

there is this big rick ross guy at our gym, he is really based, playrd NFL, really friendly, sings sade songs while lifting
today he loaded up 12pl8s on each side of the leg press and then 3 of my buddies hopped on, each weighing150-70, then busted out 10 reps
very jolly
Pretty sure I'm the biggest ass hole at my gym because I always try to chat people up in the sauna
i've seen people wear polos at the gym.
seriously what the fuck?
>>36489751
people bench pressing with the bar over their eyes with no spotter. not before they pick it up, they lift it up and down right above their eyes. what's the point?
Someone doing squats popped out an oily shit that slid across the entire gym till it hit the emergency exit door.
>>36489127
that sounds like a brilliant idea, actually. ive done the same with iphone games. gotta get those miles in somehow
>>36490727
Also saw some guy not paying attention walk into a glass door and then get really fucking mad and start attacking it then walk away like he didn't need to get out through it anyway which he did
I don't know if I'm the abnormal one but when I go lifting with my friend at our local gym nothing to fancy like a country club gym he usually drives. It the thing is I like to get through my sets really quick focused but this guy stops ever few reps and checks himself out granted he has more variety in his exercise its still freaking annoying when I'm ready to leave
Why are you standing infront of the only available bench for your curls?
>>36490727
How did it fucking slide that far? Was his asshole literally pointing at the door? If your gym lopsided? Does he just have that much firepower?
>>36488422
Not weird shit, but I see a gaggle of DYEL's do variations of curls for 4 days straight.
>>36489141
>$30
lol
I pay 43,90 euros a month. But it's so much better than training alone. They measure fucking everything for you. bf%, individual limb muscle mass and fat mass, total body weight, how your condition is in comparison to the average human bean. They give you an NFC key to use on cardio machines and scales that tel you your program for the day in detail. The NFC keys also log into your facebook and youtube so you can chill and watch Film Theory or some shit while you run/cycle, and they assist you with everything, they teach you proper form, give you tips on diet and nutrition and generally encourage you to make it. I've been going for two weeks and I've lost 5kg of skinnyfat alreay. In 7 weeks I'll have completed my cut and I'll have visible abs and a better muscle mass, in four months I'll be ready to hit the beach and get qts mirin even though I'll still be sorta DYEL, by next year I'll have made my goal body. The gym has changed my life for the better. I meet a lot of bros there and I've actually talked to some cardio qts.
We're all gonna make it brehs.
The weirdest thing that happened at my gym, pay $250 every three months and have to deal with this bullshit.
>Me and GymBro were having a conversation
>GymBro sits on dip machine and starts doing it for fun
>Old man hears GymBro and tells him that his form is off.

Damn. That's embarrassing.
Worst I've seen in dyels royally fucking up their backs with barbells.
No curlfags in my gym since the PTs help everyone get a decent routine and they have progress checks every eight weeks. If you have made no progress they revamp your diet and scedule entirely.

The guy who kept lifting a 30 lb weight above his head and then flat out dropping it on the nice hardwood floor over and over again.
I was on a treadmill literally right next to him for forty minutes of aerobic work. It was so loud and so unsafe that I eventually had to stop and move. I didn't say anything, but man was I unhappy!

Laugh all you want breh but I've been making sick progress. I've stopped gaming entirely and I've been getting better slee and my diet is much MUCH better now. I'm also learning to cook better every day. I may be a DYEL but I'm committed to see this through to the end.

I pay 50 EUR a month but that's because there are no gyms in my area. We get no instruction and the gym itself is also shit. Still it's the best part of my month. I was thinking of starting my own gym to compete, these fuckers don't even have olympic barbells or a power rack (just a shoddy squat rack).

He probably had a back injury prior to it but still.
>>36491469
>technogym
Okay, now I'm certain you are trolling. Or ignorant.
Also from Italy? I don't know of any other country using Technogym stuff on the regular.
Just for your info, Technogym bumper plates are non-standard, their 20 kg plates are ridicolously narrow making it a hassle to deadlift. Also the collar inside the plates tends to fall off after a few years of use. Also I don't think TG produces micro plates. I don't know if the weights are precise or not, I never weighed a plate myself.
>>36491498
I'm not certain about the lifting equipment but the cardio machines are GOAT. Easy to control, scedule integration and built in touch computer for youtube/facebook and other stuff controlled by NFC keys. I don't think the whole gym is technogym, especially in the lifting section, but most of the machines are. You're probably more knowledgable than me in that area. I'll check the lifting equipment tomorrow (or today if the gym is closed during easter for some reason).

You know some people actually hook up consoles and shit to the monitors on those things and play games at home on the treadmill. I'm jealous...
Some guy ties himself to the bench facing downwards off the end then sort of does these crunches for an hour. Then he gets up and practices what I assume is speed skating technique
>>36491377
>stopped gaming entirely
never understood this mentality, why do you need to quit your hobby to go to the gym 3-4 days a week for an hour or two each time?
8 hours of my week have to be spent in the gym, guess a few of my other 50 hours of free time can't still be spent on games hurr durr
>>36491566
Well gaming was getting boring honestly. I kept buying new games but I never ended up playing them. I had fun homebrewing my N3ds and downloading all those games but I never felt like playing them, really. Then I went to the gym and actually really liked feeling good and healthy, so I went more and more, got a membership and started eating properly. Now I can see my body improving and I just want to continue feeling like this. I don't really feel the urge to play games anymore.
>>36491014
It actually wasn't that far anon, sorry for exaggerating. There is a vinyl section of the floor for wheeling stuff around without fucking up the foam mats and thats where it was set free. Barely 15yards. As for the how, I don't know. I only saw the aftermath after some guy yelled SICK. I'm not exactly watching guys squat all day at the gym
>>36488422
I seen a skinny fat super manlet (like 5')
lie on the bench press unrack the bar with lmao1pl8
asheheld it above his body he slid his hands out on the bar so he had a super wide grip, did 2 reps then reracked it by slamming it back
off came the top of his thumb
my gym used to be a fun place but the fucking town government has decided to pay for all refugees to train at my gym for free (germanfag here)
Brehs, the smell! and the rubbish. i shit you not, they manage to leave plastic, used whipes with their snort in it and other shit just laying around, sometimes 10cm away from the trashbin.
There have also been multiple fist fights between boyfriends of girls that the refugees harassed and said refugees. But now, no hot girls will come anymore or if they do theyll wrap themselves so you cant see their body.
They also never rerack weights, which has never been an issue but now you cant find shit.
Craziest thing ive ever seen though was 4 refugees building up near a qt and just openly filming her ass while she squatted. We all fucking flipped and threw them out, but the manager wont permanently ban them because the town government threatened to fuck his shit up (not renewing his official documents, letting him fail the safety check ups etc. etc. ) if theres bad publicity against refugees. Kinda the same like the one public swimming pool outright banning foreigners because a refugee raped a 14 year old girl but they had to let them in again and the head of the pool was fired for institutional racism or something

I can't imagine what it must be like to lift off 100kg with no hope of anything but death.

You're supposed to get some tolerance for ass-smashing by wearing butt plugs and stuff. You can't just tear your ass up every time you want to get your jollies.
>>36488422
shamelessly stare at me while I'm doing leg press.
>>36488422
There was this one guy that was benching, and he would drop down each side of the bar in it's own turn, and then push it up it it's own turn. So like half of the time the bar was at a 45 degree angle. It was just weird. Why not just use dumbbells?
Another was the dude that just danced his way through his workout. He was doing rows with a 45 plate, and was popping and locking, and doing some footwork throughout the lift. That was probably one of the funniest thing I've seen at the gym.

I'll have to cede on that, my gym has technogym cardio machines, but they are all ancient models (probably gyms in my townsell old equipment to each other when they close and rebrand/reopen which happens a lot)
They are fairly standard cardio machines, you set a program or just press start and off you go. The digital display keeps switching between distance and time spent and can't be locked which drives me bonkers sometimes. No touchscreen and the buttons are unresponsive as shit from overuse.
The weight machines are ok I guess? I honestly never saw a non-technogym weight machine
Just this morning I saw a girl standing on a bench and Deadlifting the smith machine.
Not the weirdest thing for sure but I can't recall anything else specifically.
>>36491705
You'll understand when you're an older man yourself.
They don't give a single fuck about sociality or proper use of equipment. They only think "Fuck it, I'm already 70 years old, no reason not to rub my body against every standing piece of metal if I don't feel like it."
>>36491601
>Craziest thing ive ever seen though was 4 refugees building up near a qt and just openly filming her ass while she squatted. We all fucking flipped and threw them out, but the manager wont permanently ban them because the town government threatened to fuck his shit up (not renewing his official documents, letting him fail the safety check ups etc. etc. ) if theres bad publicity against refugees. Kinda the same like the one public swimming pool outright banning foreigners because a refugee raped a 14 year old girl but they had to let them in again and the head of the pool was fired for institutional racism or something
Or you fucking kidding me ? Oh my god
>>36491754
Assisted pullups are actually a pretty good idea, better than elastic band pullups
Worse than negatives, but if he's a weakfag like me, whose shoudlers would get torn off by his own bodyweight, human-assisted pullups might be the only solution

>>36489751
Saw a girl come in and go to the cable machine. (adjustable heights on either side). Clipped in a bar between the two, and proceeded to squat while pulling down. Literally just using her bodyweight (she was chubby) to pull it down then stand back up. Negative bodyweight squats. This was last weekend
There's this black guy that comes in at around 11 PM every other day, he sings very loudly to children's songs, I just wear my earbuds and pretend I don't hear him, he once started talking to me to tell me to fix my squat form (was going ass to grass and he said I should be doing parallel) while smiling like he had his cheeks pinned up. Told him I'll do it next time and generally avoid going in at around that time, he's got the vibe of a crazy person who could snap at any moment.
I saw a guy yesterday doing cardio on the elliptical... Backwards. And I don't mean like his legs were back-peddling. His entire fucking body was facing the wrong direction.
>>36492099
Maybe she was exercising the machine.
I got one from this morning. Planet fitness fag in a small town so we get our fair share of special snowflakes. Also on phone so no greentext.
Usually in by 6 out by 730 before work. Monday I noticed a manlet who seemed to be getting in to his music. No big deal, I find myself grooving between sets occasionally.
Then he actually starts dancing. Like, this weird tribal, crossfire dance. Goes on for 6 minutes.
He stops, does laps around the fucking gym like it's a track. Everyone is confused. This cycle repeats itself until he leaves for the day.
Today, he couldn't fight the song anymore. Straight up singing along with whatever weird shit he was jamming to, followed by barbell air guitar, continued laps around the gym, and constantly pulling his shirt up while smacking his belly while yelling "I'm the champ!"
>>36489751
>>36492331
Cross fit dance. Fucking autocorrect.
>>36492014
I've seen that but with 2 people doing them directly across from each other. In the only squat rack in the gym.

ive seen some skinny dude just hanging upside down on the squat bar that i had racked on the powercage doing hanging sit ups
>>36488932
a real hero :3
>>36492014
yesterday there was a guy skipping outside one of the squat racks working in between the sets of a guy who was curling the bar
the gym is huge and there's a cardio section but i guess this guy really wanted to show off how good he was at skipping
>>36491591
Ouch. His fingernail?
>>36490063
What, you're serious?
Just slide down in bursts.
The heat from friction disperses almost immediately, so if you keep sliding down a bit, then stopping, then sliding again, you will reach the bottom without barbequeing your palms.

You can climb up, but not down? What are you, a cat? Do you need to face down when you climb down? Seriously, that shouldn't be difficult to climb down.

Depends on how long you plan on using that type of equipment, though. If it doesn't all fall apart you could potentially use it for the rest of your life.
Got the smith machine, put the bar up to the top, hung upside down with his feet hooked between the bar and the top, and started doing hanging sit ups.
Probably the only useful thing the smith machine has ever done desu.

Same dude deadlifts 4pl8s up, then drops them back down. Got into a huge argument with his buddy about whether hed just done a set of 14 or 7
>>36491947
thefuck mate why you giving advice if you clearly know nothing/cant do anything concerning the subject.
>>36495587
But my gym membership doesn't give me any equity. The price of iron is bound to skyrocket, any day now.
>>36489003
I don't understand the purpose of lifting weights with an altitude mask. It's anaerobic exercise, what the fuck are you trying to accomplish besides passing out?
>>36489751
i dont know why you wouldnt wash the cum out of your mouth straight away before you rock back and forth wiping your mascara
>>36488422

>>36496492
guy does that at my gym too. he does it with lmao 2pl8 and I always feel like he is gonna break his spine.
Same guy also OHP 2pl8 for reps, so I dont talk shit
Random guy does throat singing whenever he's happy. He's big so no one tells him to stop.

Heres your (You)
A 5"2 Asian man does naked aerobics and a short jog in the changing room to warm up.
Is this normal?
Should I join in?
Saw this guy with an erection take a shower at the gym,that was pretty awkward I guess.

>r/4chan cancer will inevitably screencap this autism
I would see this guy at the gym almost every time I was there. He was this fat guy and he would pick up the heaviest weight. He could barely lift it and I had no idea what exercise he would do. He struggled with it and I felt like he was gonna hurt himself. He doesn't even finish a set of whatever he was doing and moves to a machine. Next thing you know he's talking to people. He also wore a headband. I wonder if he still goes there. I don't go to that gym anymore
>>36488422
Do you guys listen to advice from people weaker then you? I've gone from a 225 deadlift to a 455 in 9-10months and every now and then I get a curl bro giving me advice on my setups for it. "I can't lift 315lbs but you should do etc etc instead"
>>36498976
Also had men always tell me to never go below parallel. I just kinda nod and say "yeah okay" then continue to atg my highbar.
Saw a guy walk out of the changing room, set up at a bench, do a warm up set with the bar, load 20kg on each side, then whip out a snuff box and snort three consecutive pinches, slap himself across the face, and proceed to do his sets.

Does anyone have the copy pasta of the guy rolling around the gym using ab rollers pretending to be a motorcycle
>>36498976
No. If they aren't at least strong as you pound-for-pound or have a fucking exercise science degree disregard what they say. Do that for this board, and any broscientist that comes your way and that includes everything I say in this post. Even if they are stronger/educated in the field take it with a grain of salt. The broscience, fitness industry, and old falsehoods (like lactic acid causing DOMS for example) are still alive an while as misinformation.
I try and get my information from published papers (that aren't set up like shit since lots are), textbooks for nutrition/exercise classes, and videos of powerlifters. Hard to have shit wrong in those with that level of peer-review.
>>36499042
he was using salts. lots of powerlifters do that, but hit 10x that weight lol.
When I was super dyel I was practicing my bow draw strength on that machine where you can adjust the pulley height. I did up from 50lbs to a comfortable 60lbs, but looking back I was autistic af.
Now I'm just a regular dyel

>she places the heels of her feet under the bar and does leg press with the smith machine

I never see them again, but I was scared that the bar would slip off their feet and just fuck them up in front of me.
