Couldn't find one in the catalog, so I'm starting it. Usually my gym is boring, but there were a ton of dumbasses for some reason yesterday.
>Walk in to gym
>Both Squat racks wide open
>Two middle school kids are fucking squatting on the bench
>5 pounds on each side, half-repping
>One of them grimaces in pain putting the bar on his back
>Moans in pain after 5 reps
>Goes over and mires his biceps in the mirror
Later when I went to squat, they were fucking curling in the squat rack. I thought that was just a /fit/ meme.
There was also some fucking retard that thought he was rocky or something
>Go to grab dumbbells
>Almost get punched in the face as this guy is fucking boxing himself in the mirror with dumbbells
>40 years old, fat, fingerless gloves
>Just keeps kinda dancing around and swinging 20 pounders, kicks every now and then
Bumpan

I watched some nigger that looked like a fatter, older DMX do the most retarded OHP yesterday with 95lbs.
>unracks bar at lockout
>looked forward and proceeds to move bar up and down above his skull.
I was just waiting for him to fuck up and end it all when it fell directly on the top of head.
Up next was some retard with a headband doing the most back snapping squats I'd ever seen
>unracks lmao 2 pl8 with a belt on
>bends knees at 1/2 ROM
>lowers upper body forward for the rest
I just kept cringing.
>>36599133
>Be me
>walk into my gym
>some fucktard wearing basketball shorts and a hoodie
>headphones in, sounds like rap music
>warms up for squats by squatting the bar
>proceeds to squat 1pl8 for 5 reps
>does this 3 times
>finishes, racks weight, walks away as if nothing happened
Fucking hell, I wish these autistic fucks would be banned from my gym.

Hey, that sounds just like me doing SS :). I really like le greentexts way more than /r/fitness , it's really fun memeing the noobs on there with GOMAD
>>36599133
>Walk into gym
>Some guy in fucking BASKETBALL SHORTS walks by me
>doesn't even tip the receptionist
>ignores the looks of disgust
>The guy yawns between his sets of squatting
He only did squats too, and ended up leaving in like half an hour.
This isn't retarded, but I thought I would share because it's funny.
>be me
>scrolling /fit/ between bench sets.
>14-15 year old kid wearing sweatpants and a t shirt walks past me, sees my screen.
>whispers "RIP Zyzz," with a shit eating grin and walks back to the squat rack to continue SS.
This guy comes into my gym every few days and does the exact same routine
>35ish year old with kinda fat gf
>proceeds to warm up bench 225x5 for 2 sets
>moves on to set the cable up for a curl putting every weight on that is in the gym and max setting, 2 back curl reps
>next he struggles (face bright red and vein popping out his forehead) to lift the 75lb DB and swings them for 3-4 reps in the worst curl form ever, throws them at the floor when he is done
>goes back to bench and loads to 315x1
>repeat the back curl thing
>repeat the shitty swinging curls
>do these same 3 things for about 10 sets
>drops bench to 295x2 for another 3-4 sets
>still doing the shitty curls and back curl thing
>goes to leg extension, loads it to the max, like 250ish or something
>Lifts and bounce about 20 times
>I honestly cant understand how he struggles to lift the 75lb DBs if he can do this
basically I am waiting for him to wreak himself and need someone to pull the weight off him when he snaps a tendon or rips a muscle. the dude is strong as hell but The way he goes about these lifts is just pants on head retarded. I havent been lifting for super long, is this actually a real routine that benefits someone?

Plot twist: it was your home gym and you were looking in the mirror.

Absolute madman
>>36599267
Did he come in two days later in the SAME clothes?
>>36599267
>criticizing a guy for his clothing choice in the gym
>making fun of a guy because he doesn't lift heavy
>having this much of a superiority complex
Please reassess your personality and understand how much of a shitty person you are.
>>36599478
>guy picks up 5lb dumbbells
>stands on his tippy toes
>leans back as far as possible and begins half rep curling for ten minutes
What the fuck was he trying to do?

Get those Michael cera arms
>>36599133
>Go to the gym
>There's a guy wearing basketball shorts and a black cap.
>He starts to load 1.5pl8
>Does about 3/4 ROM but can't get it up.
>He stumbles and falls on his knees.
>We all ask if he is OK.
>He mumbles "y-yes".
>Unracks the weight and leaves the squat rack dissapointed.
The retard was me. It sucks but we all are gonna make it, right? ;_;
This one just happened today!
>in line for squat rack bc fuck college gyms
>fat chick comes up to me and asks if I want the free rack
>she points vaguely in the direction of the smith machine
>"You mean the smith machine? No thanks."
>she presses the issue, saying "What are you talking about? There's a free bar right there!"
>"Nah, I'm waiting on a squat rack but thanks!"
>she gets super flustered and goes "THAT IS A SQUAT RACK"
>I just tell her "smith machine's all yours if you want it" and she marches over to it in a huff before doing 65 lb awful form smith machine squats
fucking hell that was weird. Could she actually not tell the difference between a smith machine and a squat rack? And why would someone clearly in the middle of their first week at the gym think they could correct anybody?
>>36599560
cuz she did 30 min of research before that first week started and she knows ALL ABOUT that leg up-and-down stuff.
>>36599267
That's me
>>36599556
no ur not

>literally shoving the bar away from chest and yanking it back to his body 3 times a second

>go to the gym
>any gym in america
>any day of the week
>some person will be using an elliptical at hyper light speed with the resistance set to 0
leg swishers are the worst.
>>36599556
keep your form strict! you will make it!
It' been a few years since uni, but asians routinely do just 25lbs on the bench only. ever.
>>36599419
>>36599822
w-why was it funny
is that somebody here's routine
i want to be part of the maymay too guys
>>36599903
it's weird seeing asians in the gym desu
I expect them to be doing accounting work, not lifting weights
>>36599926
It's routinely more than 95lbs of one 25pl8, the really swoll chinks will do five 25 lb pl8s and arch their back to the heavens just to get it.. fuckin maths.. they don't even get physics, let alone fitness
>>36599133
I guzzle cocks for a living
>>36599133
>walk into the gym
>guy doing upside down cable machine shrugs
>guy doing shrugs on smith machine but with the bar on one shoulder
>guy doing 1.5 pl8 squats with his upperback rounded??? I didn't look that much. But I'm sure the bar was on his neck
>guy struggling on 85 lb deadlift with his entire back rounded
>guy doing full body barbell curls with 3 10 pl8s on each side in the squat rack
>heavily tattooed effeminate guy in short shorts doing bodyweight lunges
>roughly 1 in 3 people are wearing a belt no matter what the exercise
>qt guy doing lat pulldown with obviously bad form, screams and holds his bicep like he just had a tear
>turned 360 degrees around and walked away
So. Is your gym taking advantage of the start of spring? I wish I was kidding. I know because I went out to the lobby and wrote it all down on my phone for /fit/. I went back and started doing squats
>guy asks to work in while still doing warmup
>he does 20 quarter reps very fast, horrible form
>tells me I should look up as I squat ATG
>he leaves once I finish my warmup
>ITT new fags talk about arbitrary gym behavior and think they're better because of it.
I'll fight all of you in real life.
been waiting to post this forever. There's this tall spergy dude who wears fingerless gloves and is always creeping on girls at my university gym
>girl is on ghd doing back extensions
>every time she raises up high enough to look across the floor at the benches (where he is), he waves at her
annudda won
>girl squatting in squat rack
>same dude comes up to her, mid set, kicks the edge of the rack to get her attention
>kicks it a couple more times
>she ignores him till she finishes her set, takes headphones out
>he asks if he can set up the dip bar on her rack
>she reluctantly says sure
>dude gives her an imaginary fedora tip and walks away for dip bar

>always see dyel asians and polomode indians, some of the indians are swoll but they do every exercise on the smith machine
>one dude who's ripped as fuck and does every conceivable freeweight exercise slowly with perfect form, mired
haven't seen anything good yet here. mostly unremarkable.
there is an old dude at my gym who does crunches like he's headbanging to 80s hair metal.
one hand behind the head
the other kinda outstretched off to the side
always crunching to the beat of whatever music is playing
its great
>>36599133
This is my gym I was literally behind the guy filimg
Saw this guy with a mediocre body in my gym take his shirt off. It was a night and the gym was almost empty and he just takes his shirt off and starts flexing in the mirror like some kind of retard.
>>36599868
True, I hate that. I study/read while on those things sometimes highest resistance highest incline, and guys going nuts on it with no resistance by me. It doesn't seem safe but what do I know
>>36600214
fuck this guy
>>36599267
It was super eurobeat not rap you faggot.
