Some of the shit I’ve seen since January 1st makes me want to drop a plate on a kitten. Plus some of the things people do are good for a laugh.
Post the stupid shit you see at the gym here. I’ll start!
To the dummy doing 1 armed military barbell presses in the squat rack: Stop it. I read that Men’s Health too. They didn’t mean for you to spend 45 fucking minutes doing it. If you hit me with the bar you can barely balance I’m going to shove it up your ass.
To the fat old wop giving the scrawny high school kids advice on form in the squat rack: Your only advice should be “Don’t fucking do bicep curls in the squat rack.” Once you get them out of the squat rack pay less attention to their elbows and more attention to less weight so they don’t have to dry hump it up.
To the trainer having guys do squats on the half swiss ball thing: If I get hit with a bar while I’m doing real squats you will have the same fate as the dude doing one armed barbell presses.
To the trainer having women carry plates over their heads walking up and down the gym floor: Thank you.
To the chubby black guy that always works out dressed in spandex pants and tucked in spandex shirt with matching sneakers: You’re not a fucking superhero!!!
It is the influx of New Years resolution people. It will be over by early March, and should have slowed down by now. At one point in my life when I actually worked out, it was just a horrible time of the year. I actually switched my schedule around to being at the gym by 5am so as not to see any of these people.
so far this year it’s just the typical people getting nowhere near 90 degrees when squatting, and lots of people turning bicep curls into a full back workout.
is this the guy that looks like all he curls all day long? lol

that was real? ugh
To the chubby black guy that always works out dressed in spandex pants and tucked in spandex shirt with matching sneakers: You’re not a fucking superhero!!!
LOL i remember that guy. hes not new. always has a lifting belt on?
The resolutioners cleared out pretty quick at terries, plus i always go a little later, so I dont see that much dumb shit. Just poor form, and people having routines that dont make any sense to me. like curls followed by “squats” followed by bench. what?
I see a lot of dudes wearing baseball hats lately. really? why?
the dumbasses who conveniently forget that the dumbells are in proper weight order when it’s time to rerack them
2)the dipshits who think they’re gonna look awesome by doing more weight than they should be, but in reality they look retarded throwing their entire body in a backwards motion while doing curls
people who look at you while you lift, not out of concern for safety, but just to be pricks
The trainer had a couple of guys standing on one of these with the round side down doing squats in the left rack while I was in the right rack.
If one of them so much as fell in my general direction I was going to flip shit.
And yeah the dude that always has the weight belt on. He just goes about his business and doesn’t do stupid shit, but why he must dress like Mr Incredible is baffling.

the girl that has been on the elliptical for the last 2 hours, looks like she’s going to die, and weighs 80 pounds. I want to force feed her a baconator.
