Every gym I go to I see these clowns. I know the "sport" attracts a lot of insecure young men but it has been taken to a new level. Partial lifts have their use but now it's the standard lifting method.
Here's a typical example. A guy loads the leg press with a million plates so he could do quarter reps to impress his ego and to impress others in his mind. He then goes to the squat rack and proceeds to do 25% range of motion proclaiming that was deep. On chest and delt day all presses are at the most half reps. The bottom line is that if he used a full range of motion he would have to drastically cut down on the weight used and his fragile ego would be hurt because he would realize his strength is phony and that he was lying to himself.
One guy I sarcastically asked why he used partial reps in everything he stated it was for injury prevention. I think it will eventually cause an injury as a tight muscle will eventually go past it's tight range of motion and cause a tear.
The best ownage I have seen lately was at the squat rack. Two guys were alternating squats. One guy was doing ass to calves squats with 315lbs with a medium stance with the bar fairly high on his traps. The other guy was doing low bar squats with a wide stance almost doing a half squat. I guess in powerlifting that was legal depth. The first guy stayed at 315 while the other went to 525lbs. The guy using heavier weight said keep it up and no time you will be able to handle 525lbs. The 315lbs squat guy loads it 525lbs. and proceeds to bang out squats to around the same depth as the shallow squatter. He then unloads the bar back without saying a word and does another set with 315lbs.

maybe he's more into carrying around plates rather than lifting weights?
lifting -> carrying
two different sports

I remember two skinny guys loaded up 405 on the bar to squat I'm thinking " wow " same dumb ass 1/4 reps and then after one grueling set of these they high-fived each other I just laughed

The worse is when someone is doing 50lb curls using the squat rack.

I love watching guys with shitty form, doing Layne Norton squats and curls, etc.
I normally drop what I'm doing and run over to watch them and wait to hear the CRACK, then laugh as hard as I can.
A guy actually pulled his back doing a 1/16 range of motion squat once. He couldn't hardly walk out of the gym and I laughed behind him all the way.
I hope those kind of retards never come back.

I'm a rodeo clown.

I once saw a guy load up a leg press machine and then do less than quarter ROM reps WITH HIS HANDS PRESSING HIS KNEES DOWN.
On top of that, he had someone take a pic with cell phone.
You can't make this stuff up.

My idea of a spotter when benching is just to have someone standing there so that if the bar is stuck on my chest then they can remove it....but for some, the spotter unracks the bar, does some heavy assisted bent-over rows and then puts the bar back. ???
The guy then claims to have 'benched' that weight, probably 30% more than he would have been able to do by himself.
It only counts when I can unrack the weight and put it back without help.

Deep thought:
To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've
wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went
to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

LOL. The Man has yet to enter the Oval Office, Coach!? In any case, Bush (and his cabal) has got lots of mistakes yet to make. Loads of time for moral outrage. :)

My Dad freaks out if he sees one. As well as little clown like figurines/stuffed animal things. It's really funny to see.

I use to like clowns -- sort of. I mean, I was suppose to like them because they were suppose to liven things up and give the aura of fun. I actually thought they were kind of creepy with all that loud make up. That blazing white face with all that red lip stick plastered across there face just weirded me out as a kid. I was at a party once that had a bunch of clowns. It was outdoors on a ranch. They had farm animals with chickens, goats, horses and cows. The gang of clowns, maybe about five of them, were doing there usual routine. The whole balloon thing where they make little animals and then give it to you by sticking it in your face. One clown made a balloon that look like a bird and then started chasing one of the chickens with it. Kind of poking the poor thing with the balloon. It kind of looked like the bird balloon was trying to hump the chicken. Cute. At one point he cornered the chicken and the chicken just started wailing in terror. Fun.
Anyway, when we were having cake the clowns disappeared, presumably to go on their break. I went around back to checked them out. I was peering through the bushes wondering what clowns do on their break. There they were all sitting around all smoking cigarettes. One clown had his hat off and I could see his gray balding head. He would blow his nose by putting his thumb to close one nostril and expelling the snot from the other nostril right on the ground. No tissue or anything. Another one had his leg crossed. At least he crossed it like how a man should cross their legs with their ankle on their knee and not drape across their whole leg like women do so you can't look up their skirt. Notice how guys on talk shows always cross their legs like women? I hate that. Anyway, what creeped me out was when this guy had his leg cross was he was rocking his foot back and forth. He was wearing this big, red, round tip two feet shoes. And he was smoking and spitting and rocking that big clown shoe back and forth. Another clown, also smoking, had the front of his shirt open revealing his pale chest with tuffs of gray hair. He commented on how "Fvcking hot it is."
I left because I started getting scared that they would catch me spying on them. The way they were going on I figure it wasn't long before they start complaining about the little pricks they have to try to entertain for a few extra shekels in their pockets. And if they caught me I'm sure they would have kidnapped me and taken me to their clown lair and torture me in the most brutal and perverse way. Smear red lip stick on my face, put a pink bow on my head and make me crawl around on all fours ... sick shiit like that.
Really destroyed my image of clowns.
