Stupid stuff you see in the gym

[MoralMan]

Dear friends

What stupid things have you seen in the gym? Just today i watched some clwon squatting with about 160lbs, going all the way down and then up real fast and jumping about a foot in the air and landing stiff legged each time. What a fucking twat

Yours thankfully

Maybe that's one technique to gain more mass then regular squats?

[WOOO]

jump squats are frequently done in atheletics to boost vertical jumping power... nothing strange there dude, i did them for years while playing ball

[Mars]

while playing with your balls?

[ManBearPig...]

while having balls in your mouth?

No, you're a dum ass for not knowing what polymetric exercise is (may have pronounced it wrong).  Its used by runners and basketball players to improve reaction time and vertical prowless.  Nothing wrong with that.  A lot of coaches train their players with that exercise

While getting balled ??

I think maybe MoralMan was focusing on the fact that the fellow was landing stiff-legged and is concerned for his knees. 


Meanwhile,

Yes, I was gonna say what STella just said...  the fact that he's landing on the ground with his knees LOCKED is what's pretty stupid about the whole thing.

my "gym" has one 20 kg plate that looks almost exactly the same as the 20.4 kg (45 lbs). I keep bringing it to front desk so they can get rid of it before someone gets hurt but the twats don't do shit about it.

I've also noticed some of the 45s weigh a lot more than other 45s. You really have to judge which one's match before you start a set

It's safer and easier on the joints if you can do this on a hip sled.

[Adam Empire]

Well, most of the members at my gym don't lift legs.  I guess that is "stupid stuff you DON"T see in the gym".

Vince....you're an idiot.

Here, let me help...

There's no such word as polymetric.

Plyometric:

Pronunciation: "plI-&-'me-triks
Function: noun plural but singular or plural in construction
Etymology: perhaps irregular from plio- + -metrics (as in isometrics)
: exercise involving repeated rapid stretching and contracting of muscles (as by jumping and rebounding) to increase muscle power


You're an even bigger idiot to not realize or acknowledge the dangers of landing stiff-legged while doing a weight-bearing jump.

Here's my enrty for "Stoopid stuff seen in the gym":  Vince training.  I'd pay real money for a video of one of the blistering workouts that led to your winning physique at the 2004 Metrolina.

Tool.

Can't wait to see you get crushed at the Mountaineer and the Elite.

Dear Bluto

I havent been owned by anyone, if you think landing stiff legged with weight on your back is good then you are a dumb fuck.

I have seen some guys doing squats while standing on that ball thingy. Makes me laugh everytime

[Sir William Idol]

guys using the abductor/adductor machines

[freespirit]

guys using the abductor/adductor machines

I see these machines used frequently by 2 women. Because these 2 machines are opposed to each other it makes it easier for them to talk (gossip).

[240 is Back]

I dunno... After the regular mass exercises, I'm sure the abductor/adductor machines have some value as ways to hit stabilizing muscles and those not normally hit by squats, presses, and extensions.  Are they completely worthless?

and easier for them the clam-bump (lesbonic coitus)

I have a really hard time believing anyone is landing with their knees locked (more than one time) with 165lbs on their back! I call foul!

Awww, the black guy is trying to use big words like "plyometrics" and "prowess". That's so cute.
