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.

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.

Where's the part about them wearing tapout shirts and adidas headbands ?

It's so great how we're all so much more awesome than everyone! I see clowns do stuff that is so much less awesome that what I do. I just want to laugh at all the clowns that aren't as great as us.

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.

I never liked clowns...

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