i posted this awhile back............I was training at LIFETIME FITNESS at the time, guy was probably in his mid-50s, skinny-fat outtashape physique, looked like he hadnt worked out for decades, using the cable cross over machine, trying to do side laterals, but the guy was working out with no shirt on, fat gut hanging out, saggy man boobs..........haha classic.
-
I saw 2 guys in Tapout shirts...one was lifting pastel colored dumbbells, and the other was doing 1.2 mph on the treadmill while he watched Okrah. Gayer than The Art of Being Nick.

while i was bench pressing 185lb, Dude at my gym got under the bench next to me and did 1 rep with 315 then proceeded to load up the bench to 405lbs, with nobody around, he didnt ask for a spot, he just lifted that bar like he has benched 405 for reps all his life, i also lifted my 185lb and proceeded to rep out my 12 reps, When at 1rep i hear the 405lb crush his chest, i see nobody help him, so i dont finish my complete set i go as far as 8reps then walk over to him and ask if he needs help? At this time he was red faced, i lift the bar off him and say YOU ALMOST HAD IT DUDE, he left the gym never saw him again

Got a guy at my lifetime fitness that wears those tank tops with the huge arm openings... has massive amounts of hair all over his body, fat, with no muscle... disgusting.... wish they would hold him down, shave him and put a t shirt on him..

Actually not but when your GF texts me saying she wants Anal and when I show up she changes my mind....then yes I get mad.

Saw a guy who used to do rack pulls with 500lbs, 1/2 inch range calf raises with 20 plates, and 1/2 inch reps with 7 plates on the T-Bar.
He tried benching 225 and got planted with it.
-
or how about the guys that load up bars/machines, hoover around them but never attack the weight.
Has one of those tonight, guy in squat rack, ironically only had 225 just kind of hung on it for a while then stripped it and moved on and of course had his Muscletech shirt on...

I have seen an idiot wearing sunglasses before. Headphone, sun-glasses, trying to do heavy dumbell curls (with terrible form). I just felt sorry for the guy. He trained often too - I saw him nearly every day, until he just stopped coming.
Also, I once saw a guy who was working out literally in just a pair of underpants. When he was asked about it, he said "at the last gym I worked out at, everyone did that - who cares what you wear when you work out". This guy was huge and super strong, so no-one gave him a hard time, but I guess his underpants fashion statement did not catch on as he started wearing normal clothes after a few more workouts.
What else - I have seen numerous gays who stand my the mirror in the changing rooms, naked, and a few who use the hairdryer to blowdry thier cocks, glacing around hoping someone is watching.
-
Saw a guy practically crush his sternum whilst dropping the bar on his chest while benching.
Someone conveniently left an open used amp on the scale in the mens lockerroom.
Saw a girl get off the stair climber and faint. EMS was callled.
A plump woman who I haven't seen in awhile used to come in and hold a couple 5lbers in her hand and do this funky little dance.
Always fun to see the sloopy women whose thongs are riding up out of their clothes.
Probably more I forgot about.
-

I've seen the same thing in the bathroom at my gym. Not a classy thing to do, leaving used amps around. Just stupid really.
-
Also recently saw a very lean guy, perhaps swimmer or cyclist come in with old school Spandex shorts, pink with the blakc stripes like Pro's used to wear in 80's/early 90's

Yes,they should at least leave a full one.

I witnessed a fat man in the Bar Harbor YMCA invent the full body dumbell curl. Then he admired himself in the mirror shamelessly for 2 full minutes. Did this several times, took up a hardcore ILS posture, and exited the establishment.
-
I swear this is true...
Every morning there is this weird looking guy, he does every excersise half ways, with that I mean if he does dumbel incline he litterlay moves both dumbells litterlay 5 inches apart and cloncks them together real fast, he does that with every excersise, I nearly lost it when he did smithbar bicep curls.
Everytime I want to film him but I am scared the gym will kick me out.
-
Haha,one time this guy in my gym was doing close grip decline bench press.instead of using a wrap around grip he did it with a thumb under grip....the bar slipped outta his hand,tore down the backside of his forearms and hit him in the chest ;D
.....oh wait,that was me :-\
-
The skinny kid curving his spine his spine like a fish hook to sling up dumbells he he can barely lift to shoulder level.
The dude who managed to bury 70lb dumbells almost 1/3 into a concrete floor at a gym near uni. He was furious about something and there were only a couple of us there at the time. I think of him when folks mention roid rage even though it was probably due to woman troubles.
And this one guy............. I have grown up with bodybuilders around me, so it's familiar. But I have never dated one, dont covet it at all. And I was at the gym, off peak as usual, alone and loving it. This guy walked in and he was gorgeous. Shiny dark, thick hair, built like wow and he looked at me and winked.
I thought, hello, has hell frozen over? And smiled at myself for even thinking that. I was just finishing up and resting between sets and he set up to work dumbells in front of the mirror........
He lifted them outwards away from his body and in seconds it hit me. Captain Chloroform and his killer armpits.
I got up and went into the other room and did cardio when I stopped gagging and went home.
Gross. :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
And there's the chick who ripped out her belly ring when her tshirt caught it and ran up with her lifting. :-X
Carry on.

Ok this is boring...but about 13 years ago i was young and just into weight lifting..me and my cousin went to 24 hour fitness...
anyway..these fools were like maxing out and they we workin with maybe 225-240....and this black dude does a monster set of 4 half reps..and then jumps up and says "man i wanna meet someone in an alley right now...thats how i feel"...
I actually thought that was monster shit back then

Responded to a disturbance a few years back and was breaking up a shouting match between these two 145 pounders. After they are seperated they are talking trash to each other when one of them seriously says "I will fuck up your world, I don't take cardio/kickboxing classes for nothing bitch!" When i realized he was totally serious, it was all I could do not to fall over laughing.. not sure he is alive today..

I'm doing full range leg presses with the back board low so my knees won't hit my chest early. I'm ready to move on and I start removing plates. This fat slob who is delusional says leave them on. He then proceeds to load just about every 45 he can get his hands on. He moves the back board as far up as he can. He then proceeds to do little partial knee bends slaming the rack on the last set.
He tells me his legs are his strongest body part.
On another occasion I see a guy do chest doing half benches and half db inclines with some serious weight that you just know he couldn't move if he went one more inch of his limited range of motion. He tells the guy next to him that this is the best way to avoid shoulder problems. He's right. If he ever did a full range set his tight shoulders would rip from doing all those partials.

This short guatemalan juiced head at my gym proceeds to load up the LEVERAGE machine squat to its max, reps out about 60 with what appears to look like a thousand tons, then he decides to unload the machine one side at a time, good thing he moved his face out the way because the whole machine toppled over to its side throwing 45lbs all over the weight room, i think he got more of a workout picking up all the 45's off the floor then he got squatting them

I saw a bit of a scuffle between a mexican who was using the squat rack for an area to curls and this big ass white dude who wanted to do squats in it..Well the white dude waits there while the mexican does a set of curls and kind of sits there and semi poses in the mirror..
well white buddy reaches his breakin point i guess and then just starts to take the weights off ponchos bar..poncho gets mad and says ( i swear to god in the most illegal immigrant accent) ey ey...don do daaaaa..i know my rrrrright i know my riiiiight....." White dude ignores him and is about to move the rack level up and the mexican just stands in the rack..White buddy pushes him against the mirror and then i break it up before white hommie is charged with a hate crime

yes, i have accidentally done this before too..........dont know what i was thinking. Made a loud bang and everyone looked, my one embarassing gym moment. ;D

i love watching out of shape middle aged men/women have the worst form and do half reps while their personal trainer is just saying "Good, good" while checking out girls on the cardio machines
-
so last night I am at the gym doing legs and decide to do some stiff legged with a straight bar. Load up 225 and knock out about 8. I have my headphones on and after my last rep I hear someone to my right yell out, that's what I'm talking about. I look up and this guy is in my grill saying good lift man. He then goes on to tell me that he dealifted 500 lbs earlier in the week and everyone was blown away, asking if he was ok etc etc.
Now this is a guy, maybe 5'9, perhaps 160 telling me this so I just shrug it off and go on with my workout. This is the same guy who put 225 on a bar to squat, leaned on it then stripped it down, never doing a set/rep. I continue to hear him going up to different people in the gym, yelling, "thats the way to do" it or "thats what I'm talking about"
So upon leaving, I stop by the desk, grab a piece of paper and write down my phone number, go back to this clown and say, "here's my number, call me when you dealift 500 lbs again, would love to see it"
Where do these clowns come from? They down a glass of cell tech and all of a sudden they are Brock Lesnar?!!!
