I don't know but the dude has his face stuck in a 300 page book and just does laps around. He is a tall skinny dude I have seen him there playing basketball, probally pretty good at it. But he don't seem to ever do the weights just walks around doing laps, there is no track there so maybe thats what he doing, cardio? But he has to look up from book every other second to prevent walking into people, must love to read.
Hes a Renaissance man, exercising his body and his mind at the same time :D

the 29 year old 185 pound "fireman" at the gym who wears headphones and walks with ILS and asks "what's going on?" and i say, "not too much, what's up with you" then he says, "just trying to get huge and lean" while he's in between sets on the Flex plate loaded preacher curl with a 10 pound plate on each side.
-
- some older dudes with cool upper-arm tattoos
- many young dudes, always in pairs. Any place in front of the mirror is their second home. Can only train in groups - rat-people. Nothing, even in the showers is done without a phat belt.
- few pretty friendly, humble ones. Maybe abused as a child.
- 1 really big, lean dude... talks more than he works out... preferably some low intensity presses and pec-deck.
- 1 lady - hot and funny
- 1 cleaning maid - is into heavy rest-pause vacuums... believes in high reps
- 1 dude, wearing an enormously tight weight belt, so that his belly doesn't pop open while training bicep
-
the middle age soccer mom that wears next to nothing and gets upset when you don't look "away" when she does squats or hamstring exercises

I hate those people. They think they're strong because they load it up and half a 3" ROM. The one time you see them touch their chests it's because their spotter will pick it up. Epic insecurity.

At my old gym, there was a kid that I nicknamed "Baby Boy," for reasons I'll get to in a second.
He would walk in, head to toe covered in Adidas jogging gear. Pants, jacket, and shirt. Always the same outfit, unless he was like Einstein and had 7 pairs of the same thing? Anyway, shaved head and headphones that you could hear from 10ft away over the gyms stereo! I used to ask my partner who or what song he was listening to, when the guy was at least 10 feet or more away.
For his exercises, he would be doing odd things....said he was training to be a MMA guy, but I never saw any of the regular MMA fighters in that gym acknowledge him let alone fight or talk to him. I saw him do cable crossovers, rev. standing cable laterals, push-ups standing up off a wall (this was his "finisher" I guess), or he would do sprints on a treadmill.
His car was completely covered in Sirius radio stickers. The oddest thing about him, of the many-and the reason he got his nickname- was he used to carry a jar of baby food with him and eat it while training. :-\
He also had a book of Metzner's H.I.T. training....but I never saw him do anything Mike would have suggested. And his volume was far too high for H.I.T.!!!! ;D

Guy in my last gym that we used to call 'roid zoid' as he was a walking tribute to just about every textbook symptom of steroid abuse. He had really long hair with a totally bald crown. Used to always wear this same cut-off shirt that looked like something out of 'Fame' displaying his putrid stomach. It had some faded writing that said 'Muscle Fibrez'. It had slits for his traps that weren't needed. He had acne all down his back. he would shout and scream and keep looking in the mirror and then back at random people in the gym and would say stuff like 'no pain, no gain'. He had double whopper gyno, you could honestly expect to suck on them titties and get milk. He didn't use very heavy weights (which is fine) but the screaming and groaning when using such pitiful weights was hilarious.
He did a lot of donkey calf raises with a weird looking pedo type untrained looking guy on his back who only seemed to appear for the donkey calf raises.
He had injection sites and abscesses all over his upper arms.
He would scream random things like 'light weight baby' 'yea buddy' ' this ones for you Dorian ' (as he benched about 200 lbs)
He once wore shades in mid-winter.
He is a real person and I have exaggerated nothing.

I got all you guys beat.. my gym has these two
clowns pro bodybuilders (work in progress) that are about 180lbs. fat/skinny... completely natural, but looking at them you'd swear they're in the game... they both dress like those fitness clowns in the 80's with the parashoot pants and 5xxxl sweat top on 6 layers of various other tops, both always wearing straps, wraps and weight belts cinched tight. They both lug around huge gym bags with their gallon water jugs, creatine mix, protein, glutamine, chalk, and who knows what other sorts of crazy shit.
These two guys are the highlight of my gym for many 'advanced' members.. I'm gonna try to take some pics next time I see them, picture these two 180lb. giants right out of the pages of a Flex magazine workout... ROFL
Oh and to top it off one day the head clown was asking my advice on some new prohormone that just came out (halodrol or some crap) LOL....
-
naturals that have been working out for 10 yrs and look the same except more tired.
-
an angry, mad -at -the -world mexican guy who throws around equipment, slams weights and occupies several benches/machines at the same time, night after night after night but has not grown an ounce.
-

Haha reminds me of this bookworm that was reading a book while doing leg extensions, after one of his sets he didn't look up so he put the legs on the OUTSIDE, took a while before he realized he did ::)
-
I like the packs of High School football players that wander around the gym acting like they own the place. They love to glare at everyone thinking they're intimidating while they do their 2" ROM benchpresses & squats.
-
the middle age soccer mom that wears next to nothing and gets upset when you don't look "away" when she does squats or hamstring exercises
i got a few of these at my gym fuck it dont come to the gym with your tits popping out of your sports bra if you dont want me looking when you do shit that makes em bounce

Today at my gym I see this mexican cholo shadowboxing by himself in front of the mirror with 20 pound weights. He then proceded to try to stare me down, all 160 pounds of him wearing a wife beater and jeans, after I asked him "who was winning" and to move because he was taking up 2 areas of bench.

OMFG..... funniest post of the year!!!!

My gym is great for finding odd characters. The best is this guy who is about 6'3" and probably 240 lbs. He looks like he has great genetics for bodybuilding, but he's completely insane. He literally powerwalks into the gym with this pissed off expression everyday and glares everyone down. He does like 10 sets of tricep pushdowns and then continues to just walk around the gym like he's going somewhere. He sets up the flat benches and uses them as hurdles.... it's ridiculous. If you make eye contact with him, he will keep his eyes focused on yours until you look away. I tested him once to see how long he would stare and we went for almost 2 minutes. He scares the sh*t out of me.
Then we have multiple morbidly obese "trainers" who try to correct people's form while eating chicken mcnuggets off of the shelf-gut that protrudes out in front of them.
We also have a man with only stubs for arms who doesn't stop laughing and talking to himself throughout the workout and does dips and pushups on his stubs.

haha I thought he was going to walk across the gym and kill me. I'm almost positive that he has rabies.

My gym has a guy...looks like a early 40's white red-neck construction worker w/mullet who comes in in jeans, work boots and button on the front plaid. Goes to the exercise mat and starts to do Tai Chi moves in front of the mirrors. But he only knows like 2 moves and just does a quarter turn-->same two moves-->quarter turn-->same to moves for about 15 minutes and then leaves the gym.
Beat that!

we have a bunch of interesting characters at the local gym
* skinny guy, 140 lb soaking wet.. trains in the gym as long as i do or perhaps even longer.. about 7 years. havent changed abit. looks the same the day i entered the gym. he claims to be working on his strength ::). always loads the machines with weight he obviously cant handle.. then sits on the machine for like 5 minutes "concentrating". after that he proceeds on doing a quater rep, sometimes just unracking the weight is enough of a challange for him. does a rep.. waits for about a minute with a "static hold" with arms fully extended, racks the weight.. sits on the machine for another 10 minutes preparing for the next set.. more often than not he will just get up after the 10 minutes, realize that he was unable to reach the desired level of concentration and proceed on to the next machine doing the same as described above. he obviously has all the equipment ranging from belts, wraps etc. fun guy.. you should see him deadlift. :o once he was deadlifting, i was horrified, so i asked him before his another "set" if i should dial 9-1 and hold my hand on the 1 in case something happens to call the ambulance while he is performing a set ;D obviously he didnt get the joke.
* a bunch of roidheads, one of them is huge, looks great even though he is injured now and barely trains. i asked him how much he was on he said 3-4g without coming off for a couple of years, and it shows, has great genetics/response. you can tell this guy is a bodybuilder even if he wasnt big, tmichael sweatshirt, 3 layers of other "hardcore" shirts, baggy pants in rediculous colors, high top otomix shoes.
* another roidhead who weighs like 130kg on a permabulk, he loves slin and gh, you can tell that by his gut. guy isn't too strong for someone on that much gear. usually does a set.. goes away to chat with his buddies, comes back. loves doing half squats with lots of weight.
we also have some cool hard training dudes, two guys who train HIT and are very concentrated, textbook form, you can see those guys are serious.
needless to say that the squatrack is pretty much empty most of the time, except when someone decides to do some biceps curls in it.

A guy came in wearing hiking gear and a wide-brimmed hat. Walked on the treadmill for about 5 minutes before just standing still on it so it would throw him off the back. Then he got back on, stood still, and got thrown off again. He repeated this about 8 times. Then he stood infront of one of the air conditioning units and waves his arms above his head for 5 minutes - trying to dry off his armpits. Then he walked over to his back and pulled out a small bag of biscuits and sat down on a bench and ate them for awhile.
-
Local guy who comes in my gym, born with some defect where he cant bend his knees, goes everywhere outside on a Bicycle without any pedals and uses his feet to move along, we call him Johnny Straightlegs.I feel bad for him but looking at the way he acts you would think he gets more pussy than the local cat shelter, has latest haircut, diamond earings, always wearing a vest with the worst case of ILS since Rambo 3 along with Quivering 12inch biceps that havnt changed in 5 years.He waddles round the gym with so much attitude, looking everyone up and down after he finishes a brutal set of 130 on the bench for 6 reps with 3inch ROM.

He is a nice kid but always reluctant to learn....for example : he has this show in 1 month and he plans to get cut in last 2 weeks with adding a bit of cardio and some l carnitine.....won't touch roids but hopes to hit 182lbs lean ( he is 165 now , ) and told me " Fuck d-bol , I'll get to 182 lbs by summer time with creatine , proteine , and Megamass " hahahahahaha ....He is stuck at exactly 165 for the last 4 years and does not adgree with me that he already hit his natural ceiling and needs aas to go beyond . Too bad because he has nice shape and could even compete succesfully.

Im more worried about the "man" taking his picture in the mirror, who cant wait to run home and upload them to his computer so he can furiously masturbate, all under the disguise of taking the picture to mock him on the internet.

Are you saying that taking pics of a man posing in a gym just wearing a towel and then uploading the pics and posting them on the internet is gayer than, well, taking pics of someone posing in a gym wearing just a towel?

So let me guess, you weren't sure if this was slightly gay behaviour, so you took pics of him and went home to "study" them?
Hhahaha oh brother ::)

hahaha some good stories here, keep em coming :D

-the people that want to get big and half rep on the flat bench

I hate those people. They think they're strong because they load it up and half a 3" ROM. The one time you see them touch their chests it's because their spotter will pick it up. Epic insecurity.
Haha yeah, people at my gym do decline a lot too cos they've figured out you can lift a lot on that movement but haven't figured out the full ROM thing or th fact that they're only building big droopy tits.
-
This one guy at my gym, he's got to have some type of mental problem. I see him about once a week at the gym, and EVERY TIME he sees me (this has happened 4 times so far) he comes as though he has never seen me before and says, "Hi. You look like you've been working out for a while. I have a question for you, my chest is overtrained." Then he goes on to say things that dont make sense like, "my chest gets really pumped when I do lat pulldowns, so I tell him your chest isn't supposed to get worked doing that exercise, I even showed him the sticker on the lat pulldown machine that highlights the muscles being used....then he just continues, "My chest is overtrained. It gets pumped when I do lat pulldowns." and I try to get him off my back so I can continue my workout.
I'll see him next week and he comes back and says the exact same thing like he's never met me before. He also works out in jeans every time. I'd probably tell him to screw off it wasn't for the fact that he has got to have some type of mental disability to forget every week that he's already had the same conversation with me lol

Texas Gym sales the shit out of the BSN shit. They don't sale BSN at Metroflex. Ronnie has not trained there in like a year or so.

I posted this once before, but it's deserving of this thread:
About 12 years ago I joined my first "hardcore" gym and I'll never forget one member in particular. He wasn't a bodybuilder, but had an average (or novice) powerlifter physique. He stood about 6'4" tall, weighed in the neighborhood of 275 lbs, never combed his hair and always smelled terrible. He literally left a film of filth on whatever piece of equipment he used. This guy never spoke to anyone, but he definitely made his presence known during every set of every exercise as this dude yelled and screamed at the top of his lungs during everything. Ocassionally between sets he'd skulk around the gym and let out a "f**k YOU!!" or "ALRIGHT f**cker!". He had the worst form I've ever seen and would contort and throw his body around in every direction when performing any and all exercises. It was the entire weight stack on every machine, the heaviest db's and the heaviest barbells for everything imaginable....keep in mind he did sets of 1-2 reps using 1/16 to 1/2 range of motion for everything (it was 1/2 range at best on rare occassions). He'd use 150lbs db's for multiple sets of 50 rep 2 inch curls at high speed.....virtually everything was done with a 2-inch range of motion with the worst form and the heaviest weights he could possible use. My favorite moment was one particular back day in which he loaded a bar for deads (1/16 range reps mind you) with something like 700 lbs...it was absurd. Although, what was more unreal was that prior to each "set" he would fart continuously for a solid 3-5 minutes. Not quietly passing gas, but loud, bellowing farts and he would walk in circle grunting, farting and talking to himself attempting to pump up for each bizarre set. Keep in mind that all of this occurred - everyday - while he wore an unwashed, sweat-stained, head-to-toe pink track suit.

Yeah, you need to stop asking others why she is such a bitch

Texas Gym sales the shit out of the BSN shit. They don't sale BSN at Metroflex. Ronnie has not trained there in like a year or so.
And he hasn't trained at all since december, even though his homegym costs $125.000
He realized late in life, that sitting up all night posting and sleeping all day is more rewarding :D

I posted this once before, but it's deserving of this thread:
He had the worst form I've ever seen and would contort and throw his body around in every direction when performing any and all exercises. It was the entire weight stack on every machine, the heaviest db's and the heaviest barbells for everything imaginable....keep in mind he did sets of 1-2 reps using 1/16 to 1/2 range of motion for everything (it was 1/2 range at best on rare occassions). He'd use 150lbs db's for multiple sets of 50 rep 2 inch curls at high speed.....virtually everything was done with a 2-inch range of motion with the worst form and the heaviest weights he could possible use. My favorite moment was one particular back day in which he loaded a bar for deads (1/16 range reps mind you) with something like 700 lbs...it was absurd.
Must have been related to this guy:
A guy at my gym would generally work on three exercises: 1/16 deadlifts off a power rack with 6 plates on each side (for one convulsion rep), tbar rows with 6 plates, and standing calf raises with the stack and and about 10 plates on top. All were done with literally about a quarter inch range of motion. He would do the stalking back and forth walk to pysch himself up, and sprayed his hands with an aerosol can of who knows what. His dad would spot him.
One day I saw him try benching. He put 225 on the bar. I figured he'd be good for at least 15. He got planted. Couldn't even move it off his chest.
-
Well, here is this morning's crowd.
-The dude in his 50's, planted on his death stair mill, wearing his '80's Ray Bans.
-The moron in the DB area doing one leg lunges off a bench onto a bosu ball, using a small straight bar- holding in one hand and squatting, changes sides and does some more reps. "Functional Training at its best!"
-The CORE trainers that set up the circus show. Bosu Balls, floor ladders for "agility" with 40 year old women, juggling dumb bells while balancing on one foot. The other trainer who takes up three-four pieces of equipment for their circut.
-The two dudes that took up the Squat rack for their brutal Olympic Bar Curls with no weight added and wearing really baggy tank tops with 10" arms
-The lady that reads her novel while doing her usual light circut. One day, her neck is going to be sore from having her head twisted to one side reading while leg pressing?!
-Then the eye candy, love them so nothing bad to say about them!! :D
-And Ed Hockily (?) the buffed out NFL Ref, Donovan McNabb and ASU Quaterback Rudy Carpenter!
-
hahaha core work..........fitness fraud
-
Im more worried about the "man" taking his picture in the mirror, who cant wait to run home and upload them to his computer so he can furiously masturbate, all under the disguise of taking the picture to mock him on the internet.

I posted this once before, but it's deserving of this thread:
About 12 years ago I joined my first "hardcore" gym and I'll never forget one member in particular. He wasn't a bodybuilder, but had an average (or novice) powerlifter physique. He stood about 6'4" tall, weighed in the neighborhood of 275 lbs, never combed his hair and always smelled terrible. He literally left a film of filth on whatever piece of equipment he used. This guy never spoke to anyone, but he definitely made his presence known during every set of every exercise as this dude yelled and screamed at the top of his lungs during everything. Ocassionally between sets he'd skulk around the gym and let out a "f**k YOU!!" or "ALRIGHT f**cker!". He had the worst form I've ever seen and would contort and throw his body around in every direction when performing any and all exercises. It was the entire weight stack on every machine, the heaviest db's and the heaviest barbells for everything imaginable....keep in mind he did sets of 1-2 reps using 1/16 to 1/2 range of motion for everything (it was 1/2 range at best on rare occassions). He'd use 150lbs db's for multiple sets of 50 rep 2 inch curls at high speed.....virtually everything was done with a 2-inch range of motion with the worst form and the heaviest weights he could possible use. My favorite moment was one particular back day in which he loaded a bar for deads (1/16 range reps mind you) with something like 700 lbs...it was absurd. Although, what was more unreal was that prior to each "set" he would fart continuously for a solid 3-5 minutes. Not quietly passing gas, but loud, bellowing farts and he would walk in circle grunting, farting and talking to himself attempting to pump up for each bizarre set. Keep in mind that all of this occurred - everyday - while he wore an unwashed, sweat-stained, head-to-toe pink track suit.
DUDE, you jsut made me cry from laughter!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAAAHHAHAHAHAHA that's the funniest shit I have read in a while, just fucking brilliant, LOL!!!
The funny thing is I've read it before, it was still hilarious ;D
-
Hmmm. I've got nothing as funny as MOS' guy, but when I first started training in uni there was a guy who creeped out everybody. Dude looked like a 40 year old Freddy Mercury but maybe 120 lbs, really stringy and maybe 5'6". Everybody called him 'the Turk.' He used to come in to the weight room and just stretch and watch everybody. Most people did their best to politely ignnore him. His 'finishing' move was to do a handstand, 'cept he had those flimsy nylon running shorts with the side seam that went right up to the waist, so his junk basically was on display. That was harder to politely ignore. Then one day he wasn't around anymore, and word came down that he was doing his finisher and two football players actually picked him up and threw him out of the weight room *splat* into the facing wall, like a drunk getting tossed from a bar in an old movie. Problem solved.

We have an orthodox jewish fellow who eats greasy chicken with the skin on it between each set. His claim to fame is that he holds the world record for riding the Flume roller coaster at Great Adventure amusement park 150+ times in one day, and he will go out of his way to tell you this.
So, he wants everyone to call him "Flume". I don't think anyone knows his real name.
As crazy as he is and looks, he can bench close to 350...maybe this is "crazy man" strength.
He is also a lawyer.
-
I already started a thread about gloves. I will add sleeveless shirts too. Mainly the 90 percent of the people that don't have hard vascular muslce to display, myself included. Nonetheless, It is a very "popular ensemble," but gay.

Actually, he says he has done this at six different GA locations... :)
-
There are a few loudmouthed guys in the gym from time to time, doing their very best to be noticed by talking very loud and walk around with ils. It's very pathetic.
-
we have a guy at out gym that comes strolling just about everyday wearing a different color beater strutin' his stuff like he has 20" arms, he has a decent size but it just looks like fat is just hanging off his arms. He is fairly quiet but if you are doing the same lift as him he will watch you to see how much weight you are pushing and put on 10lbs more the you. Then when he is done with his second rep he will look over at you like you should be impressed. and the worst part is when you walk by him he will just stare at you like he want to eat you or somthing. That is why he earned his name "#1 Fan"
-
There is a guy at my gym who likes to help the ladies out.
-
At my gym we got this old dude that walks real fast with little stutter steps.
its like watching a Will Harris posing routine without the hand movements.
-
Guy in my last gym that we used to call 'roid zoid' as he was a walking tribute to just about every textbook symptom of steroid abuse. He had really long hair with a totally bald crown. Used to always wear this same cut-off shirt that looked like something out of 'Fame' displaying his putrid stomach. It had some faded writing that said 'Muscle Fibrez'. It had slits for his traps that weren't needed. He had acne all down his back. he would shout and scream and keep looking in the mirror and then back at random people in the gym and would say stuff like 'no pain, no gain'. He had double whopper gyno, you could honestly expect to suck on them titties and get milk. He didn't use very heavy weights (which is fine) but the screaming and groaning when using such pitiful weights was hilarious.
He did a lot of donkey calf raises with a weird looking pedo type untrained looking guy on his back who only seemed to appear for the donkey calf raises.
He had injection sites and abscesses all over his upper arms.
He would scream random things like 'light weight baby' 'yea buddy' ' this ones for you Dorian ' (as he benched about 200 lbs)
He once wore shades in mid-winter.
He is a real person and I have exaggerated nothing.
this one s for you dorian LMAO
-
There ia a guy at my gym that only works upper body ;D
Never works out his legs :-\
He looks pathetic :o :o
-
Erm there's hundreds of them at every gym!

:)
-
A guy I call Aqua Man ... wears an under armour head band, sport goggles , elbow support cuffs , wrist bands , knee support cuffs, bike shorts LMAO , then to top it off an under armour skintight sleveless shirt. WTF looks like he should be on a National Geographic underwater sea adventure. Of course he does beastly reps of 3 with 70pbs dbs flat benches, swiss ball routines. I am sorry I am laughing too hard to explain it all.
-
the 29 year old 185 pound "fireman" at the gym who wears headphones and walks with ILS and asks "what's going on?" and i say, "not too much, what's up with you" then he says, "just trying to get huge and lean" while he's in between sets on the Flex plate loaded preacher curl with a 10 pound plate on each side.
We had that exact guy when I was in NY. One day, no shit, he came in with ash smudged on his face and arms, sooo proud that he had been in a fire that he couldn't wash it off before he went to the gym! :D
Here in Co, we've got a Borat clone. He's skinny, hairy, wears short patterned shorts and a mismatched patterned tank top. Tube socks and generic tennis shoes. Fro like hair and mustache. I've also seen him driving around town in a Honda Element, LOL.
-
Best thread since the miraculous gimp vs. Gump truce.
- Over-the-top happy morning tweeker, one set on every device in the building, no particular order. Repeat.
- Fat, singing-over-the-headphones, slow-mo Recumbant Idols. Always something purple.
- Elderly Prozac-fueled positivity trainer. "Good morning, Sunshine!"s everyone, every day. Fuck you, Gus.
- Sloppy, old school power guy, ties up 12 machines for extra sooper-dooper supersets.
- Karl. Fucking Karl. Your balls are showing, fella.
-
same old as in every gym, and now that its summer in here mostly EVERYONE comes to the gym, so it kinda sucks to go while EVERYONE is in there training....
I have a friend that has a brother who while his mother was giving birth to him, he ggot caught with the umbilical cord, so no oxigen got to him, and has some problems, kinda like down sindrome....
last summer he started training and he goes every day to the gym, he allways does bicep curls, and only bicep curls... every day he would flex his arm and tell me Am i bigger than you?
after a few months of training he actually buit some respectable arms hahaha.... now when he flexes, he tells me.... my arms are bigger than you! go do biceps curls! :D
it just makes me happy to see what a little dedication can do.... ;D
-
We had a bodybuilder/student in our school gym who looked exactly like TJ Combo from the game Killer instinct - square head, physique and all. He'd pile up his plate with chicken breasts, tuna, etc at the school caf and stalk over to his table while we chanted "ULTRA COMBO!!!!"
-
There is a guy at my gym who is acting so strangely I really seriously fear that he is deranged. So much so that I don't have the guts to post up his antics here for fear of being the first to be shot when he pops. On a plus side, his bizarre antics make good cinema for between sets.
-
Also, the formerly-trained trainer training the trainer-in-training. Fuck you, Gus.

This thread should be stickied forever ;D
Characters I have known:
The Manatice- Near 400 pound, 5' 7" wooly Mammoth stinkiest human being ever to walk the earth. Cans of Lysol would implode when he entered the door. Got his name because on his gym application where it said Occupation he didn't know how to spell the word "maintenance" and wrote down "manatice." I'm sure the stinky Wooly Manatice still roams the earth to this day.
Johnny Master- The ultimate cartoon character of whom I still swear to start a comic strip about someday. He was an alcoholic, smokaholic, pathological-lying homosexual soul brother who had legs like broomsticks and an upper body nearly identical to Robby Robinson. Died of Aids in prison. Best quote: "You know, I didn't go to college, but you know dat when I wuz in skoo, I made straight A's cuz you know Johnny da bess dey is at whateva he do... damn when is my Michelle gonna pick me up? He betta have my cigarettes. You know I don't even eat, right? I juss smoke an drank. But I'm strong! You know dat!"
Jimmy 'Do- trained light and low intensity, so as to never mess up his hair. Sweat is evil.
Single Tricep Mike- Dude who always flexed his tricep on one arm. Never the other one.
Grampa Tarzan- Crotchety old man who would yell long and loud while bench pressing brutal senior citizen weights. Flirted with every female who felt sorry enough for him to pay attention to him. Probably the inventor of Viagra.
Shitstain- Dude who always farted during deadlifts. No personality, completely forgettable aside from brutal flatulence.
-

There's a new guy at my gym who wears nothing but Gators Gym wear. Sweapants, tshirts, hoodies all circa 1990. They look new as well so he's either unearthed a box of new old stock or he's a time traveller. I'll have to dig out my " Huge By Choice" sweatshirt and Sony walkman (with am/fm) and make him jealous.
We also have a lot of little gym bunnies who use the recumbent bike at 0.001 resistance as they pedal 50 rpm and talk on their cell phones. Don't they know they're supposed to be bouncing/running on the treadmill???
Makes me miss the spandex and step classes of the 80's.

a 300 lbs 6 "2" Bodybuilder of my gym had a bad accident outside the gym 8 weeks ago. I´ve talked to him 1 day after the surgery in the hospital. He said the dotors think that he had to stay 3-4 weeks in hospital, and better forget of training like he used to do (intense, heavy).
He left the hospital on Day 11, he was carrying a long protection for his damaged right leg....just about 1 hour after leaving the hospital he came into the gym (thinking just to say hello....) and started training (exercises he could do...)
Now 6,5 weeks later the same guy trains as heavy as ever (except the damaged leg, which he train light for the next 2 months, and doing his physotherapy).
-
haha some good stories there
the other day we had this bookworm type at the gym, he brought his newspaper to every machine so for example while doing chest presses in a machine, he had the newspaper in his lap reading it :D
-
Sal the whop guido muthafucka at World Gym in Waltham, Ma.in the 90's. Button shirt sleeves cut off. Unbuttoned down to his belly with 5 gold chains and a diamond pinky ring.
Short gym shorts with his balls hanging out. Black socks and some fuckin weird ass rockport walkers or similar looking shoes. He'd set up 5 machines or lifting stations ahead of time and bounce back and forth using all of them. He'd leave plates on benches or loaded bars and if you tried to work in he'd say he was almost done can you wait till he was finished. I'd go and jump in and use the shit just to piss him off. This guy's bo smelled like 2 week old chicken soup.
hey Sal fuck you!!!
-
the toolbox that stretches his chest cause he's doing calves
the feg who's checking out his abs in the mirror that bodychecks anyone that walks by him cause he's tough guy
my ALL time favorite......... the clown that throws the dumb bells as hard as possible cause he's a gorilla and wants everyone to know he's strong

Before I went into the Air Force in 98 I worked at the Gold's Gym in Vegas on Flamingo and Sandhill. We had some characters there. I'm currently stationed in Germany and we have a shitload of misfits here....
(Vegas)
Kenny - Kenny is a bail bondsman that was 28 when I met him in 98. (I was 18 young and impressionable)
One day my boss told me a guy named Kenny was going to pick something up that evening. I asked what would he looked like and she said big and black. Anywho late that evening in comes this brotha about 5'10, 242 lbs (I asked him). He had a messed left eye he was blind in so it was that blueish color. He came in wearing his bailbondman uniform and looked like a typica big brotha. When he came out from the back he was fucking huge. He came up and introduced himself and I asked him how big his arms where and he said 23. (We measured them months later). he was easily 10%bf. He kept telling me not to take steriods when I wanted to at the time. He wasn't a bodybuilder just a big ass dude that obviously juiced himself that was cool as hell. His wife would always call the gym while he was there with his girlfriend.... ;D
Casey- Casey is your typical 80's meathead. He looked like John Goodman and he loved steriods and let everyone know he did. He was about 6'1 300 30% bf but had all these stories about how awesome he used to be. He would brag about downing a handful of d-bol before hitting the gym. He kept talking about wanting to get on another cycle because it had been years. He worked hard in the gym but I guess he ate more because nothing changed. He used to yell alot when he talked and worked out. Funny guy....
Amazon - She is a chick that's about 6'2 180-200 amazon. If you go to the Olympia in Vegas you'll see her there in the expo. Very scary looking. She's sweet as hell if you get to know her. She's like a Nicole Bass. Very scary for a 18 year old like myself at the time to see something like that. I think her name is Gabriella or something like that. In 1996 at the Las Vegas Classic when I first met Shawn Ray I remember him saying " look at that big ass bitch". ;D
Sumo-Mulatto- This guy was Kenny's training partner. He was Black and Samoan around 6'3 and 500lbs I remember asking kenny who the hell he was and he said he was his training partner and that he was lazy but strong as hell. I personally witnessed this huge bastard incline bench 6 plates on each side for reps. Scary fucker.
Strippers- tons of them, come on it's Vegas ;D
Vince- There was this guy Vince. Great looks, perfect body, male stripper.....His voice was higher than Mike Tyson's. It throws you off when you see a guy like this.
(Military)
Pip - this guy wears those under armor stretch shirts only problem is his literally no more than 130 lbs at about 6'0 and he got the smallest shirt possible to display his magnificent 12 inch pipes.
Chulo- He's this middle age mexican guy who has the worst case of ILS I've ever scene. He always wear a wife beater with his pants up to his arm pits. He's about 180 at 22%bf he oozes machismo if you see him YOU better go around. Trust me I tried and he didn't budge.
Ass- She's this Hawaii and black mixed female. she's a pretty healthy girl and she's wears spandex with an ass that would make 99% of black women blush. It's very distracting. I like it, most of you wouldn't.
People will stop and gawk or point etc...
All Genetics - This brotha is who's about 170-180 lbs at 6-7% bf with perfect shape, symmetry and proportion. He haas the smallest joints I've seen on a dude at that weight which makes him look bigger. He does these odd exercises in which he's managed to put on the muscle he has.
I've more but I'm tired of typing.
-
Shredded/big black guys with 5 year old girl calves that just stand around yappin in between sets of full body bicep curls
or how bout the slant eyed asians that are break dancing in the aerobics room
or the indian/persian/middle-easterns that never seem to stop looking at themselves in the mirror
-
::) bullshit, oh brother another anonymous gym goer who presses world record poundages on the incline for reps.
Sumo-Mulatto- This guy was Kenny's training partner. He was Black and Samoan around 6'3 and 500lbs I remember asking kenny who the hell he was and he said he was his training partner and that he was lazy but strong as hell. I personally witnessed this huge bastard incline bench 6 plates on each side for reps. Scary fucker.

Mainly 2nd rate juicing clowns who look pretty much average, on lots of steroids.
Yes, you look entirely mediocre on gear...congratulations. ;D
Pathetic..hahah

we had some moron come into the gym, with 3 minutes to closing, so he gets on the seated fly machine, the one with the roller pads, in a full down winter coat, hat and scarf and does like two sets of 20 reps...what a fuckin ass
-
He did a lot of donkey calf raises with a weird looking pedo type untrained looking guy on his back who only seemed to appear for the donkey calf raises.

There is 1 guy that trains in my homegym, he keeps to hmself and i think he's great! :D

About 10 years ago there was this guy at a PowerHouse Gym and he did the strangest exercises I've ever seen in my 25 - plus years of training. He wore clothes that made him look like he was just coming back from an audition to the old TV show "Fame." He had the headband and the legwarmers to match.
Like I said he did lots of strange things like weird stretches and such, but when he would use the regular weights, barbells, dumbbells and machines the show would just begin. I thought he was going to do some bench squats in the squat rack one day because he dragged a bench all the way across the gym over to the squat rack. He loaded a barbell up with 25s on each side and no collars. He got under the bar, stepped back and squatted down to the bench. Then he brought his feet off the ground and sat cross-legged on the bench. THEN he removed his hands from the bar and let it balance on his traps as he brought his hands out in front and clasped them together and started some meditation. Sat there for about 5 minutes with his eyes shut.
Another time I thought he was going to do normal seated dumbbell curls, but instead he did one arm at a time. With the opposite leg, he would lift that over his head and grab hold of his toe and stretch his leg while he did curls with the other arm. After 15 reps or so, he would change legs (and arms). Most people in the gym just stopped and stared at him. He looked like he was made of rubber.
The very strangest thing he did was drag a bench over to the cable crossover unit. the ones with lat pulldowns on each ends and chinup bars on the front and back. He would use the ankle attachments and hook the cables to his feet and then grab hold of the bench, which was pushed way forward and he proceeded to pull his knees to his chest like a reverse leg raise. After that he hooked the the ankle attachments back on but from the highest pulley position this time. He pulled the weights down somehow with each leg and then he reached out grabbed the chinup bar in front of him. Then he let the weights drop with his legs, which pulled him into a suspended spread eagle. He'd stay in that position for a few minutes while he grunted and grit his teeth. He looked like Superman flying. I was doing lat pulldowns on the end of the same machine and about busted a gut laughing when he shot up in the air when he let the weights go!

Overall many blue collar guys who enjoy woorking out-but many juicers who powerlift and compete in state BB competitions who will never reach pro and most have attitudes-its in NYC so it cant be avoided

::) bullshit, oh brother another anonymous gym goer who presses world record poundages on the incline for reps.
Sumo-Mulatto- This guy was Kenny's training partner. He was Black and Samoan around 6'3 and 500lbs I remember asking kenny who the hell he was and he said he was his training partner and that he was lazy but strong as hell. I personally witnessed this huge bastard incline bench 6 plates on each side for reps. Scary fucker.
Have I ever lied or exaggerated about anything? What do I have to gain from this? 6 plates on each side is alot of weight but it aint world record poundages.

585 for reps on barbell inclines is DEFINITELY world record poundages for that lift, post some proof.

There was a real pack of winners on Friday afternoon. There were these three JV football players who couldn't have weighed over 150lbs. They were by the leg equipment so I was expecting a bunch of bad quarter squats. Instead they went to one of the leg press machines. They loaded the machine with the max (10 plates a side) & one kid was sitting ready to lift it. I was going to stop them but kind of wanted to see the carnage (the stoppers were in place). He pushed the weight up & it comes crashing down. They all looked stunned & didn't seem to know what to do next. After a couple minutes they took off the plates & pushed it up. They then loaded it with one plate less & the same thing happened. They proceded to do this over & over until there were five plated per side. At that time they each did about five or six quarter reps & then went on to cause problems elsewhere.
