What would you do if you had an idiot like that at your local gym ??

[affeman]

I'm not sure...

[IroNat]

At least he is really lifting weights.

Stand away from the blast area in case the lift fails, and just enjoy the show. I don't mind stuff like that unless the gym is crowded.

Schreg999 was my favorite ego lifter -

.

(this is an ego lift I hadn't seen before).

Schreg hasn't posted in a few years, hope he's ok.

As long as he isn't bothering anyone else just leave him alone.

I might get annoyed if he bent the bar on that last move he was doing. But that's the owner's problem to deal with.

Every gym has a few of those. the guy who screams at the top of his lungs while doing standing db curls, he must have just learned of the torture bomb system. or the jackass kid who does a set of side laterals only to release the dbs at the top of the last rep. I guess he wants everyone to know that his set is done. the fool who loads up one side of a machine at a time [leg press] and then just walks away when it tips over, leaving it up to someone else to pick the mess up. Or my favorite the karate dude who is fighting an imaginary opponent and looks like he's practicing his ballet moves. the kid who's grandfather brings him to the gym and leaves him to his own devices doing some interesting moves on the cable crossover machine looking like he's trying to fly, pulling on the handles and jumping in the air. I've seen these and quite a few other tools down through the years.

dj181 trains at your gym?

I just trained at 1AM, there's usually just 2-3 Somalis there at that time. They all yell while on their headsets; never saw one actually train, they just get into position on the cable cross and maybe do 2 sorry reps with no load on. Today one was sitting on a bench gesticulating wildly, pointing his finger while yelling to someone on the phone. I saw one dare to try a squat on the smith, did two reps with the hooks hitting the bars on the way, obviously thought it was too uncomfortable and that was it for legs.

I don't really mind "eccentric" people in the gym. I saw a short on YT where a youtuber was filming himself doing a one rep max on dumbbell bench. Someone was very angry, yelling, "that's not training! This gym has pro bodybuilders and you pull that shit here!" That's embarrassing for the one yelling imo, let bro do his thing even if you think it's stupid. The bro took it in stride, deescalated the situation. I know I've done "stupid" stuff in the gym, which I didn't think was stupid of course

That video above made think of how I used the Nautilus pec deck/rear delt machine in my gym for the second time yesterday for rear delts. Wow, what a difference compared to the ones with the handles, you get a wicked stretch and as we've learned the stretched position is the most beneficial. Full reps and then shorter until it doesn't move at all. You can do these tiny 1 inch reps for maybe 10 at the end and soreness follows for sure

I'm not sure...

I think I'd be more annoyed at what he's wearing over his lifting

most areas in Gothenburg sucks ass these days. Too many immigrants. Really annoying. Try move to a white area if you can. But that's ofc expensive.
