Just venting here. There is a guy at my gym who only trains chest (arms and legs not very big at all). He is probably about 5'11", maybe weighs 210, maybe. He presses 140 lbs dumbbells but before doing so walks around asking other guys for a spot. He presses one rep by himself and then agonizingly pushes 2-3 more with a spot (spotter is really doing all the work). He does about 3 sets of this ... the whole damn time grunting as if he is taking the biggest shit of his life. Then he throws the weights down on the ground, jumps up and shrugs like he's fricken superman.

I keep telling Michael that I'm going to print that picture of the exploded anus and put it on his gym bag.

Gosh!!

ahahaha!!! Have big Mike fart and drag the smell over to him just as he lays down for the set. When the dude goes for a big breath on that third rep it'll be nothing but ass smell in his nose!!!

Laura Lee · « **Reply #5 on:** April 18, 2006, 06:19:57 PM »

Hey Cheri, I'm sure that if you let Mike know his behaviour was bothering you, he'd do something about it.

candidate, read this post.....as the first responder in this type of thread, it is your responsibility to post something very similar to this. once a reply such as the one you wrote has been given, a post like dr. chimps loses its effectiveness and only operates at around 75% of its original power. but if it had been the first reply it would have been much more funny, as most of us were anticipating it. just a little FYI for the future.

I bet "Showstoppa" grunts during his brutal deadlift sets with 365 lb.

SO you're basically describing Mike in contest shape, then?

kind of like your brutal 235 just above the belt rows, hahahahahahaha.

The Luke · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2006, 01:45:52 PM »

Just volunteer to spot him.

On the second rep help him just enough that the rep lasts several minutes. There are two possible outcomes:
1- He dies.... you win
2- He drops the dumbbells (and possible complains about you)..... loudly announce: "Might want to try the 50's?"... you win

Dingleberry · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2006, 01:50:51 PM »

Yep, sounds like the guy's a true asshat. The only thing that will settle his ass down is someone to come right next to him and either:

a: Grab the 150's and knock out a few unassisted reps or
b: Grab the 140's and knock out even more unassisted sets

doing either one without so much as a groan.

Let me ask this, does he have the spotter hand him the weight too? Sounds like the kind of guy who would.

I thought this thread was going to be about Grünter Schlierkamp.

Why can't people just use weights they can handle by themselves $:-\$

I lift the bar up to my lower pecs. How do you think I'm able to do standing millitary presses with 200 lb?

ignorance · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2006, 12:43:03 AM »

280pds in total and the guy is acting bad ass. Fuck the ONLY time I at bad ass is when people bug me when i'm getting ready for a lift or when I did a personal best. Most times it is the lifts.

Wow 240, you never cease to amaze me with your "wit".

Ya, I'm describing Michael. He is going to shrink in height by 2 inches and drop another 20lbs before stepping on the stage.

Captain Equipoise · « **Reply #20 on:** April 20, 2006, 06:41:49 AM »

I don't know about you guys but 140lb. presses are still pretty impressive, who cares if he makes some noise, Cherry - your boyfriend uses what? the 80's ?

sculpture · « **Reply #21 on:** April 20, 2006, 06:45:54 AM »

Youre missing the entire point - its a weight this jerkoff shouldnt be handling. If he can barely manage 1 rep i'm guessing he can't even get the dumbells into starting position by himself. 1 rep and 2-3 assisted reps is gettin him nowhere other than the injury clinic

Laura Lee · « **Reply #22 on:** April 20, 2006, 07:00:38 AM »

Exactly!!! He is "trying" to lift weight he is not capable of lifting. If you can only get out one rep without assistance and grunt as if you are in labor ... the weight is too much for you and you are only seeking attention.

Overload · « **Reply #23 on:** April 20, 2006, 07:21:19 AM »

Kindly tell him to shut the fuck up.

we have several kids who do this with 80's at my gym...they get the weight handed to them and proceed to grunt out 2 half reps before getting 4 assisted reps. then they walk around with their lats flared out like they did something crazy.

oh believe me, I would, but then the idiot would say something rude and then Michael would have to kick the shit out of him and lose his job.
