Post that shit, you know it's been bothering you. I'll start:
My gym is open 24hrs, the lobby is always open but nobody sits at the desk during the night. Was working out at 11pm one day and the neighborhood hobo sits down at the front desk and turns on the tv, and he sleeps there occasionally, weird shit.
>guys that go to the gym just to run on the treadmill

>Homeless man looking for shelter
>Finds it and enjoys things that most take for granted
What a time to be alive.
As for me, I've been going to a 24 hour gym at 2AM for the past 7 years now, and one of the weirdest things I've seen by far is this guy who comes in, and sits down in the most isolated section of the gym with a block of cheese in his backpack. The guy sits there, and looks like he's either praying, or is psyching himself up. Couldn't be bothered to ask. Not sure what the cheese' role on this ritual was, but I don't think he eats it. He hasn't been to the gym in a very long time, so it's just one of many weird shit that I've seen.
Another one worth mentioning is this black kid who showed up several years ago. The guy would literally come in and bleed on the few equipment he actually used. All he came in to do was incline bench press and curls. Didn't really bother me because he stood away from me in his own little corner, and I never touch the stuff he touched since I'm a germophobe and I make sure I use sanitary wipes before and after I use any equipment. There was also plenty of weights for both him and I to use so whatever he used I never touch. I told the owner about it about a month after I noticed he wasn't there anymore and the owner looked at the security camera, and threw out the equipment he used.

This is with some of the best A/C too, When I went in the day after it still smelled slightly iffy, as if someone had dropped a curry in the gym.

Curling and doing push ups on the bench
this one guy always does upside down pull-ups? essentially he's doing a bent over row but since his legs are in the way his range of motion is like two inches.
it just looks super try hard and if he slips he might actually kill himself
guy was doing 3 plate quarter squats. Blew out his knees lol

Not wierd but amusing. was at planet fitness one day when two women came in. One went right to the pizza boxes. The other one was giving her shit for it. They do their workout. First chick goes straight for the pizza boxes and eats two slices while looking out so her friend dosent catch her.
>>36640222
Honestly I'm so scared of starting at the gym because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing and I will end up looking like this.
>>36643007
Please do start, its so much better than waiting because you are nervous.
>>36643007
Just start. Worst case, try your city's rec center. It's mostly seniors and older folk who are not judgmental at all, should have a full wall of DBs and a press machine (I know, I know) to get you started, and are ridiculously cheap (mine is $5 a month).
What I like about mine is no one under 21 is allowed in the gym area after 6 PM. Gets rid of bench and lat machine hogs.
>>36643007
It's 2016, my friend.
Use the internet, use youtube. There are a million chanels that teach how to perform basic workouts.
You could, for example, watch how to use the machine in OPs pic properly for lat pull-downs. Most of the time they tell you what to remember when doing it so you don't even need an experienced friend or a PE. Once you get used to machines, try out some dumbbell and barbell stuff and do a proper beginner training like SS or if you prefer a split.
>>36643007
most equipment is obvious as fuck and many of the machines come with clear instructions on hoq to use them.
for some reason, middle class whiteys seem to be above reading anything so they end up doing the impossibly stupid shit you see in this thread.
also, for my story - the single dumbest shit i've ever seen was a guy doing bench press. in the leg press machine.

probably getting revenge of all those weirdos who insist on bench pressing in the squat rack.
i've seen a guy use the squat rack's safety rails to catch the bar in case he fails, but he never benches more than 40 kilos and the rails are so high up, he basically just does a half rep.

>>36646062
>She offered to have sex with me in a locked room, I am completely safe from all accusations of rape
No. For fuck's sake no. Stop believing this immediately before something terrible happens to you. You can still be accused of rape and have to defend yourself in a court of law even if you didn't even kiss the woman.

That was the depth he was squatting, with 105lbs, we've got three squat racks.
Honestly the effort to get it behind his neck and the danger of snapping his shoulders while doing so made it all the more outstanding to me.

The whole experience was just really strange. I only saw the guy a couple of times after that (either walking around the gym or fiddling with dumbbells) but haven't in awhile. I guess what makes it weird is just how out of shape he was and yet he was acting like I needed his help lifting.
>>36643007
Watch alan thrall for How-To's Also pretty sure all of us actually did something pretty stupid on our first week at the gym. Everybody starts somewhere
>>36643007
Just do what you see the big guys doing. Start with just the bar so you can get used to the movement. Put weight after like 2 sets.
>>36645922

in Yemen, people live in shitty homes with no internet and barely any electricity, poor plumbing and whatnot. Their teeth are usually rotting from young adulthood and they have cheap-shoddy clothing. The only good thing they have is 1. good hygiene 2. a nice cellphone. The cellphone is their everything - laptop/PC, clock, flashlight, telephone, notebook, messager, camera, social network, calculator, etc.
That image represent someone that does not know enough of the culture he's trying to bash. And the fact that he's bashing further exemplifies his poor morals and worldliness.

Both look like skinnyfat shit, even though Ive been seeing them at the gym for over a year.
I know Im an angry cunt but this kind of retarded meme shit just pisses me off because its annoying, thats it, its distracting because it looks retarded and they dont need to be yelling at eachother across the gym.
Plus even though its none of my business I am somewhat triggered at the stupidity of people, just do a fucking standard weight lifting routine, you are at a GYM, all this body weight shit can literally be done at home.
>>36646645
>crossfit
Who cares, by the time they are 50 they'll be begging to die with all that arthritis and joint cartilage erosion.
Had an older woman take a safety clip off of my bar the other day in the middle of a set of squats. Thought for a second that I was having a stroke or some kind of out of body experience, but after racking and looking over to where she took the clip, I realized she had in fact taken it and put it on her EZ curl bar.
Since then, I've observed her licking her hands after using hand sanitizer and just doing generally strange shit.
>>36646645
No excuse for kettlebell faggotry but handstand push ups are legit, plyometrics are good too.
Doing a prowler with a treadmill is hilarious. Should have stacked a few plates on it.
Box jumps are legit
Shame they don't do strength training on top of that shit.
That ain't crosshit though.
Sounds entertaining to watch
>>36645970

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT
THIS IS NOT A FASHION SHOW
i saw a polish bro do heavy as fuck squats while wearing soft jogging shoes. the poor shoes were bulging around his foot from all the pressure and the polish guy was wobbling and almost falling over from the shitty balance. to compensate for lack of stability, he closed his legs shut and had the knees so far in front of his toes, he might as well have been kneeling.
i never saw him at the gym again. most likely nuked his kneecaps or shattered his spine.

You obviously don't work with refugees. I do. The vast majority of them are not refugees. They don't meet the standard legal criteria, not even close. They are economic migrants playing on the emotions of the European masses while using brute force to push past state security blockades. They are opportunities with thousands of terrorists sneaking in amongst them. Every European intelligence agency is acutely aware of this, along with refugee organizations, but the politicians have decided to roll over despite their best advice in order to avoid having to use ugly measures that the misguided electorate aren't able to stomach and which the media will not report on honestly.

this is common at every gym I've been to that has a lot of free weights. Dumbbells everywhere and plates laying on the floor right next to the racks they are supposed to be on.
The only exception was a gym I went to briefly while travelling that had an employee whose job was to go around and re rack weights that are just lying around.
People are shit at taking care of stuff that isn't theirs. Hell, lots of people are shit at taking care of their own stuff too.

Machines are easy, clearly labeled instructions. Barbell lifts are better, watch the guys who are big, but not roid big. Nerd fitness (Google it) has some pretty clear and straightforward descriptions and vids of the main lifts. And why you shouldn't worry is the same reason not to look at what obvious roiders are doing - your average person in the gym could be in these threads. Most have no fucking idea what they're doing. I've seen so many huge gyms at my gym only doing the stupidest shit. Curls. Only curls. Or nothing but bench. Guys that I've seen on a variety of different days, at different times, and the only do one fucking exercise. Maybe two. Craziest shit to see a guy you've watched bench 3pl8 decide to get brave and struggle with leg pressing less than 2.

>>36649649
that is really counter productive and a complete waste of energy. tell them with authority
>>36650323
This is possible. I doubt it though. Lot of guys in my gym do nothing but upper body, and look like the picture floating around about skipping leg day. These are the people I only see in the squay racks... to do curls. Drives me up the wall.
>>36650280
Very little, it's a small place.
>>36650280
>buttwink
Oh butt wink, no dude I do proper form I don't fold my hips forwards
>>36649649
it is really retarded when people decide to do babyweight deadlifts in front of the racks, when there is a DEDICATED AREA for deadlifts that is unused.
whoever does this is an asshole
Mine happened tonight.
>workout in really gross old hotel gym because membership is dirt cheap and there's a small group of regulars.
>usually workout with my husband (I know, he's a cuck/enjoy alimony and I'm a whore, etc etc) but he was working late so I went by myself
>just me and regular mexican dad guy in the weight section
>black manlet walks in. I've seen him twice before. One time he was quarter squatting 115lbs. The other time my husband was squatting 265, and black guy is like "ayy, mind if I work in?" Husband says sure. Black guy gets under it and 1/16th squats for 3. Shaking like a leaf whole time. Racks the weight and says "when I was your age, I used to be able to do somehighweight but I'm old now.."
>back to tonight. I don't have headphones with me so I know I'm in for some trouble with this guy
>I'm standing in the squat rack, getting ready to do 145. He claps at me and says LET'S GO.
>IGNORE him and get ready to get under the bar. Then he taunts me and says "laaaaazzzyy" at a volume thats so low that i cant tell if hes talking to me. Ignore again.
>do my set. He mutters good job.
>go to do some push ups and he asks if he can work in. I say sure.
>Quarter squats. When he finishes, he runs over and asks the bench guy if he can work in wit him. He (again) benches what the guy had on the bar. He does a squat set right every time I finish one
>later, I'm deadlifting 165. Resting, go to check my phone. Black guy comes up, says "this looks interestng" and without any consideration for form, starts tryin to pull the bar, making hnnng noises, and shooting his hips up and down.
> oh god, I don't want to see anyone go to snap city. He fails a rep. Makes some joke about how he's out of shape.
>He pivots in his sandals, and walks directly out of the gym.
I was just so confused, because he ONLY did exercises or lifts that other people were doing. What the fuck did he come there to do.
>that crossfit guy that does assisted kipping pullups
>>36651102
Does anybody ever call him out on his shit?
>>36640222
>Old guy at my gym, probably like 60-65
>Literally only does exercises in the one squat rack
>Squats, OHP, deads, fucking curls, etc
>Walk up to him a few months ago after I watch him do his fourth set of OHP
>"Hey man, I'm looking to do some deadlifts, how many more sets ya got?"
>"Twelve."
>"... Wait, what? You're doing twelve sets?"
>"No I do 16 sets"
>"...Okay man, you know there's only one squat rack right?"
>"Yeah and I'm using it"
>"Whatever"
I thought he was just being a dick and trying to screw around with me, but the old bastard literally
camped in the squat rack and proceeded to do a total of 16 sets of OHP in the squat rack over
the course of 55 minutes or so. I talked to management about this and they replied with
"well he's our oldest customer and hes not hurting anybody"
Old people in the gym need to fuck off. Can't wait to leave this hellhole and go to a big city gym.
>>36651339
He comes approximately every 3.5 months. And so far, besides me, it hasn't been the same people there when he was there. I think he just straddles the line of being a dick and making you feel like "is this guy serious" so we don't know what to say.
>>36651468
Sounds like you need to get your squat/DL/bench up to the point that you cuck him into not being able to work in.
>>36650277
Probably used to working out in prison/solitary
Anal Sex
>>36651495
I probably won't ever get up to a weight that would hurt him. My only hope is that he comes in one day and crosses paths with the fat, loud powerlifters.

It's not racist, it's reality.
>Couple weeks ago in gym
>Doing farmer's walks
>Walk past an Indian guy on the lat pulldown machine
>Gag hard because he smells like someone puked on a spice rack
Chicks lifting weights and going nowhere near a weight that challenges them, doing like 10 reps with no difficulty, probably thinking they're making some kind of progress by doing that.
Not terribly weird, but there's a guy at my gym who reads a paperback book inbetween sets. It might look cool if he were ripped, but he's skinnyfat and has bad form so it just looks tryhard.
>>36641896
fucking kek
>>36641952
AAAGGGHHH people that use the bench press for dumbbell bench exercises when there are free benches literally feet away REEEEE
>>36646119
...is her name kayla?
There's this one skinny mexican manlet who is always doing some workouts that are just on the line of being acceptable or OP image-tier. He kinda dances to his music between sets. Dude has amazing core strength though, can do dragon flags, windshield wipers, flagpoles, etc. He's a total bro though.
Ehhh idk if i should post this but i guess i will. Every saturday amd sunday morning when my 2r hours gym ia deserted me and a fit girl who lifts there finish up by fucking really hard in the locker room and shower toghether. Havent been caught but there was a close call where a guy saw us getting out of the shower. Btw she is my wife and it just a fetish thing we do lol. We drive sperate and show up at slightly diffrent times. God damn it get me off though it was always my fantasy and she does it for me. My wonderful wife god damn im lucky.
24 hour planet fatass in central jersey. maybe 20% white.
black ladies laying on the floor behind cardio equipment yelling on there cellphones they just chillin while sweaty people steep over them.
people keep breaking the mirrors on the walls. I don't know how this happens.
fat black kids sit on the assisted pullup machine and slowly ride down and kick back up at the bottom to start over.
black dude who pretends to take selfies when he is really just being a creeper and taking pics of hotties. I'm gonna steal this one though.
twerking on the assisted pullup machine.
MFW THESE ALL HAPPENED IN THE ONE HOURS I WAS THERE TODAY
>>36640222
Not even weird it was just annoying.
>I'm at the bench press
>guy asks to work in with me.
>it's my set.
>tell him to spot me only when I really
need help.
>spots me (which is more like him helping me lift) on my 8th rep when I don't need help.
>tell him again how I want to be spotted (try to be polite)
>"helps" me again on my 6th rep
>feels like I'm lifting practically liftinh nothing
>leave disappointed
>>36640222
Legit saw a pajeet at my gym today with a mutant duffle bag kek
First off I'd like to mention I hit a new pr of 315 bench today at the gym. It's in my story and I feel pretty good so figured I'd get it out of the way so it doesn't come off as subtle brag
>doing chest with gym bro
>warmup and try our 1rm since he wanted to do that today (only been lifting 6 months)
>he hit's 205 (huge gains from his 85 starting) and I hit 315
>progress through our normal 5 sets of 8-12 and then 2 heavy sets of 3-5 superset with a 20lb medicine ball chest passx15 as fast as possible for them explosive gains
>notice some skinny mid 20s guy in wife beater and snapback watching us
>comes over and says "hey bro your pretty big, besides bench what exercises can I do to develop mass in my upper chest area like I just wanna get mass there. I already do these (pantomimes supinated grip cable front raises)
>tell him "idk about inner chest or whatever but I like to train chest in different rep ranges and weights and from different angles and do flies and presses just for overall strength and size and stability
>mention some of my routine to him
>he goes "yea bro that's nice whatever, but how do I get like just straight mass in the upper chest? Like without wasting time on bench. I don't wanna waste time doing bench with 20lbs on each side it's not gonna get me anywhere but thats all I can do."
>tell him "soooo you want to see results but you don't want to do the work? If 20lbs is all you can handle for your intended rep range then by all means do 20lbs and eat at a surplus"
>"Allright whatever bro geez thanks for the lecture"
>still don't know what that dudes deal was
>>36650135
That's what he is doing by running on the treadmill.
>>36647554
>implying literally anybody else in the gym doing normal workouts must therefore have fallen victim to the 4chan hivemind
yeah no
>>36647081
I would gladly accept anyone curling in the squat rack.
If we had one ;_;
>>36652463
most people just want "that one weird trick"
they don't want to put in effort for a prolonged periods of time in a sustained way.

>that guy that blasts megadeth
oh wait thats me lol, home gym master race
>>36652463
Sounds to me like a casual shit that wants instant rewards without lifting some heavy ass weights. Never gonna make it.
Same. Steady influx of brown people doing curls in the squat rack (I thought it was just a meme) and treating the pool like a holiday resort. This is in one of the whitest cities in the UK and it is not the cheapest of gyms. I don't like it.
>>36652463
what was wrong with the last thread you posted this in?
>people who wear hats in the gym
>this one guy who wears a cap backwards, fancy trainers, Beats headphones, always checks himself out in the mirror
Sadly he has been lifting longer than me and my depression kills my gains so we are both still DYEL but I am motivated to lift more than that guy.
>>36646420
Dude, you met Mark Rippetoe
This fucking guy. You can call them compression shorts or whatever the fuck, but my man here is working or in his undies. This dude just does laps back and forth across the gym trying to peacock and failing. Everytime I look in his direction he's looking around to see if people are losing attention to him. This is why planet fitness exists.
>>36653297
There were 3 guys in matching underarmor shirts and pants (fitted completely) squatting the other day next to me and I could see their penors through the tights
>>36653302
Also they kept taking selfies while flexing
>>36641994
Eric is that you?
I saw the same shit this morning.
>>36646843
Our platform is attached to the squat rack, about 2 steps behind where the safety rails end. If you want to squat in front of me while I rest, just ask bro
>>36642798
Oh my god I see so many old people who have absolutely no idea how to use that machine
>guy sticks it between his legs and tries humping it up and down
>this one woman puts it underneath her thigh and just grinds the shit out of it
>one guy just kicks it into the air using his shin
That machine is the kekkiest machine
>>36651102
>I was just so confused, because he ONLY did exercises or lifts that other people were doing. What the fuck did he come there to do.
Probably doesn't have a clue so he decided to copy exercises from everyone else.
>>36648181
Weird how sand niggers have less debt than you olive skinned gyro-turks. I'd take a tax paying Ahmed than a bailout receiving Stefanopolos any day
Pay your debts
I go to the gym about 6 days a week.
And about 4 out of those 6 days I see this one dude who does nothing, literally nothing, but shrugs, curls and bench press.
>>36651825
And that guy probably doesn't give a fuck what it looks like, he just found something enjoyable to do to kill the time between sets.
>>36653364
To be fair the Greek were actively fucked over by the rest of the EU, especially the Germans. If you have some understanding of how economy works you'd be disgusted by how evil the narrative is and how reality played out.
In general debt is a sign of wealth and prosperity though. Look at the US for example. The reason here is however that this debt is invested into the economy and in return provides an incentive for industries to generate wealth.

german here
The way the story's told here, greeks are lazy and we are not and thats why they own us shittons of money and are hugely creative at not paying it back
care to shed some light on the other side of the story?
There's some black guy at my gym where all he does is karate in the corner, do sprints in the aisle, and talk to the other black guys.

Indians are filthy subhumans. I can't stand seeing one because it brings an automatic gag reflex from their smell.
I go to a college gym so everyone at the campus gets in for free. Which means all the brown people use it as a hangout spot where they stand around and talk, taking up space
fuck them
