On monday at the gym I had seated millitary press as a first exercise. I perform it on squat rack, coz it's the only place I can do it safely (we don't have any other racks). I grabbed bench and tried to pit it there when local 50 year old fat moron told me "I TRAIN THERE". I went like - ok, what do you do there? He yelled "IT DOES NOT MATTER". Whatever, I decided to wait for him coz I had time anyway. He grabbed empty bar and didn't put it on his back, didn't put it on his chest, he used it to PULL his body up while performing squats. You get it? He grabbed the bar and helped himself with hands while squatting. I have absolutely NO IDEA why he needed that rack for this shit. He was impolite couple of times before towards other gym members so I couldn't resist and told him "i know it's a gym but it doesn't mean you have to behave like a dork". He ignored me, lol.
Not the stupidest thing I've seen someone do, although clearly the rudest.
At my gym I've seen at most,
five people do squats. Only one went below parallel, one went to parallel, the rest stopped way above.
I've also seen exactly
two people do deadlifts. Not one dropped the bar all the way to the ground after first lifting it.
These numbers, out of maybe, a hundred people.
