You forgot:Lol. Number 11 is funny because they turn into good mornings.
10. 1/2 rep upright rows
11. Ass out power squats with 5 plates (lower back warm up)
12. Dumbell pullovers (Using God like momentum in the movement)
13. Sit ups (swaying and swinging like their on a carnival ride)
Sometimes, I think people would be better off staying home and reading a book.
Guys who do side laterals with way too much weight and completely wrong form. They do not do the "poor water from a pitcher" motion,so to speak,they just swing the weight up and back sorta...you know the motion I am talking about..don't really know how to explain it.Bertil Fox used to throw up 85lb. db's with the shittiest form you can imagine on side laterals and his delts were huge.
Better yet are the ones who do a workout that makes no sense at all.
Bench, then leg curl then abs,then treadmill for a little while,then lat pull,then db bench,then curls etc etc...and then come back the next day and do it again.
Bertil Fox used to throw up 85lb. db's with the shittiest form you can imagine on side laterals and his delts were huge.Bertil used to throw up guns in people's faces and they, well, died from gunshot wounds. ;D

That's a good one MM. The partial leg movement guys get up so tough acting like they moved the world and stand next to the weight looking around. It cracks me up. 8)
Sometimes I get paranoid that I'm going to end up on someone's gym list :D Not enough weight so I'll end up on Sarcasm's list to much weight and I'll end up on Croatch's list. tank top and I'm on Croatch's list, fill out the tank top and I'm on TA's list... using light weight do to injuries and you're on everyone's list. It gets extensive... there's the anti-bandanna crowd, anti-flexing if you're not 220+, no noise, pro noise on and on. I've spent the last year healing a bicep tear felling like a total idiot working up to curling 50lbs... I guarantee I ended up on several people's lists... at the same time I do understand taking note of the extreme gym absurdities, some things you just can't miss and yes I know there are those fools who absolutely deserve to be on someone's list but unless they really stick out, I don't go looking for them. I honestly wonder if guys like croatch go into the gym and spot check each member working out with a grimace of semi disapproval.Using good form and healing properly are good things. We're talking about the ego lifters than bench 275 for partial reps and think they are the shit. Their tris get bigger and chest looks smaller every week. You know whaddamean?

yup, I know, but at the same time do you know what I'm saying...I know....it can go far but there are some people in the gym you wana berate to their face but know you will get thrown out
I know....it can go far but there are some people in the gym you wana berate to their face but know you will get thrown outyup, I agree there are, I just try to ignore them for the most part.
as an example cap, I remember one time at Gold's in Boise working back, I was to that end of my last set and my form went by by as I got about 5 more cheat reps out... then some guy comes over and coaches me on form ::) Yea, you can go to far with this crap, the gym guru knowitall is almost as bad as the Partials Brigade.Cheat reps at the end are great IMO. I never listen to trainers. One told me doing just leg press and deadlifts will build my legs. The guy had chicken legs too. I think partial benches and squats are bad for the body, esp the joints. One thing that bothers me are really skinny guys wearing the "Dennis James" workout shirts.
I love some of these clowns at the gym.. curls in the squat rack,I fucking hate that shit.

One thing that bothers me are really skinny guys wearing the "Dennis James" workout shirts.I had one guy tell me to stop with every other chest exercises I had done that day. He was sure I could get it all with a flat bench semi fly style machine. I don't know what it's called but it's a wide grip bench machine that arcs in a bit toward the top. He had watched me through my whole workout and noted the weight I was using on all my exercises and was happy to tell me I would not be able to use a lot of weight on this machine. And the guy that coached me on proper form doing cheats was just some guy in the gym... He was actually one of the bigger guys in the gym too.
I fucking hate that shit.
i saw a very fat guy using a rotary calf machine, with his heals on the platform using it like a leg press machine. monster cankles, epic inability to read the instructions on the machine.

Tell hime to put down the needle and come back to train with you and see how big/strong he is. ;Dgood point but I gotta tell you, it's psycho that some fella would watch my whole workout.
good point but I gotta tell you, it's psycho that some fella would watch my whole workout.or gay, either way you want to phrase it
My first year of training I worked my way up to 8 plates per side leg presses.
Which one and why?
1. 1/2 squat
2. 1/4 squat
3. 1/4 leg press
4. 1/2 leg press
5. power clean barbell curls
6. rounded back deadlifts
7. 1/4 barbell press
8. 1/4 bench press
9. sternum breaking bench press
I'm going with 1/4 squats and bench press. Way to mess up your joints guys.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:Since we "have no lives", why respond to us? If I think something is funny in the gym, I'll comment on it. You're crushing nobody's ego tool.
IF you clowns would spend more time worrying about YOUR OWN WORKOUTS and PROGRESS than about what those around you are doing you might actually develope physiques worth being proud of. Do you know how damn SAD it is that you all go to the gym to pay attention to what OTHER PEOPLE are DOING? Who the hell CARES?
When you look in the mirror and aren't happy, consider spending less time looking at other people exercise. You will see a correlation between being happier at what you see in the mirror the LESS TIME you spend WATCHING EVERYONE ELSE WORKOUT. Why do you CARE what the hell someone else does at the damn gym unless they are stealing the equipment you are using? Otherwise, you shouldn't give a f**k what someone else is doing.

I honestly wonder if guys like croatch go into the gym and spot check each member working out with a grimace of semi disapproval.Yes, it's the first and last thing I do in a gym. ;D These people just stand out though. You can't help but laugh. Some don't know any better, but most can't take the reality of lifting weight that is suitable for themselves, so they throw a bunch of plates on and half ass each rep, thinking everyone will be impressed. Trust me, I'm always impressed that someone takes the time to go to a gym, then f**k up just about every exercise in their "routine". One thing about myself, when I get involved in a new hobby, I ask questions and realize, I know nothing. That was 15 years ago, but I still am open to others opinions and knowledge.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:Funny, but I notice other people fucking up things from time to time, yet I've managed to build a good physique for myself. I must be superhuman, then again, maybe I can just do two things at once.

You owned yourself by even STARTING this thread. If you're so insecure that you have to keep your eyes on what everyone else is doing at the gym while you are there, you've got major issues.Lol. Meltdown pal. I guess you never ever notice anything in between sets. The guys half repping their "heavy" benches while grunting at the top of their lungs or when that same guy almost drops the dumbbells from a press on your foot cuz he can't handle them. Don't worry, I'll try to block out a broken toe next time. I don't direct my eyes to anyone that doesn't make a spectacle of themself to where I cannot help but notice. Hope that helps.
Go to the gym, take care of your business and go the hell home. Who gives a shit what everyone else is doing? You shouldn't
Go to the gym, take care of your business and go the hell home. Who gives a shit what everyone else is doing? You shouldn'tBuddy, this place we live, called earth...there are many people on it for your amusement. Plus, I strive to do more than most when I go to the gym, so I blast my workout, then take notes on everyone else. On/Off steroids, implants, chunked form. It's what working out is about, sorry nobody ever told you sooner. ;)
You owned yourself by even STARTING this thread. If you're so insecure that you have to keep your eyes on what everyone else is doing at the gym while you are there, you've got major issues.This is pretty much my thing too. I go in with the intent of getting my lifting fix and out, I do my best to not pay attention to the odd distractions and I hate being someone else's odd distraction as was the case with getting out of the blue advice on form or insane advice from someone who watched my whole workout... I do understand noting the extreme cases but for the most part just ignore people.

crotch is one of those guys who scopes out everyone else in the gym while he lifts, and if anyone is stronger or bigger than he is, he comes on here and makes a thread about how he saw this "juice head" at the gym and what a cheater he is.Lol. I imagine that happens but when they are half reps and quarter reps, we can come on here and dog on those guys. There are plenty of guys that can out bench me in terms of pounds but I do full reps with lighter weight so there may times I say shit but that's how it is.

so I blast my workout, then take notes on everyone else. On/Off steroids, implants, chunked form. It's what working out is about,no... working out is not about critiquing everyone else ::) You understand nothing... Get off your high horse and I guarantee you'll get a lot more out of lifting.

crotch is one of those guys who scopes out everyone else in the gym while he lifts, and if anyone is stronger or bigger than he is, he comes on here and makes a thread about how he saw this "juice head" at the gym and what a cheater he is.I never recall calling roid users "cheaters". It's not cheating, it just a choice people make. Granted, most people on look like garbage, but a choice all the same. The funny thing is, most people who are bigger than me are on gear. To be honest, few can gain good side and still be cut, without sauce. At least nobody I see in my gym. Hell, I wish there were a bunch of people natural in my gym who smoked me, but it's not the case.
no... working out is not about critiquing everyone else You understand nothing... Get off your high horse and I guarantee you'll get a lot more out of lifting.Partial joke. Oh yeah, meltdown.
You can direct your attention towards whatever you like. The every burning question is: Why the hell do you care what others are doing?When guys drop weights they can't handle to where they are almost rolling or hitting me, I care. When guys do their half reps and camp out on a machine I want to use in the next half hour, I care. When guys scream like they are giving birth, I care. When these half rep monsters walk up to me in the middle of a set to correct my form or tell me how they do it, I care. Hope that clarifies. I don't sit back with a bag of popcorn and watch this shit, I just see it. I have peripheral vision. My bad.. ::)
i'll dog a 150 pound guy quarter squatting 405 before i'll dog a 250 pound guy full squatting 225. that's my philosophy.Me too. It doesn't make you a better lifter to ruin your joints.

Hell, I wish there were a bunch of people natural in my gym who smoked me, but it's not the case.Come on with the two sides here... You can't have it both ways croatch, you've come here plenty of times attacking the work ethic of users. You may not have used the word, cheaters, but the insinuation is there.
Partial joke. Oh yeah, meltdown.I'm cool with melting down, do it all the time, go berserk sometimes :D but that wasn't a meltdown... It's more of a meltdown when you call meltdown on something that's not a meltdown... ;) No I didn't know you were joking. I took you for that kind of person by your history of reporting your gym members here.
I know....it can go far but there are some people in the gym you wana berate to their face but know you will get thrown out

Agreed. Nobody cares, but me. It only matter how you feel about your gains at the end of the day. I would always feel like some cheating assclown if I cycled. Lying to people you meet, family, etc, like I'm sure most juicers do. Plus, if you look around gyms...2nd rate juicers are a dime a dozen, I see it every day. Show me someone who puts on 10lbs of lean mass, I give them credit.
i'm curious, how do you know who's on in your gym? do you see them inject, or do you think you're carnac the magnificent or have some kind of roid-dar where you can look at someone and instantly know whether or not they're on? i've had 185 pound guys tell me about finishing up a cycle, i've had a monster tell me he's saving up for his first and he's nervous.The sad fact is, most people with decent gains in my gym are on gear. How do I know this? Common sense. There are only so many people with the right genetics for gaining a bunch of muscle mass, so they are either all in Las Vegas, or maybe many are on a cycle. What a foolish comment to make. The fact is, few people have any dedication in lifting, fewer have that dedication when it comes to diet. So, unless there is something in the water, I'd say the majority of guys in my gym who look like anything are on or have used gear to obtain a big percentage of their gains.
you're just a really sad insecure guy who thinks he's the best you can look on gear. i can just imagine you when someone a little bigger than you walks in. you start walking with your chest pushed out and your belly pulled in with ILS, then as soon as you get home you start up another thread about this "2nd rate juicer" you saw.
I get asked about gear use CONSTANTLY and I'm as clean as you can get. Never used any AAS at all, nothing for water, nothing for bodyfat...nothing at all. People just ASSUME that I use because no one else there looks like me...not even close. I get the "freak factor" look all the time, when, the bottom-line is that I outwork everyone in there and eat very clean all year. It's just a matter of wanting it more and making sacrifices in my case.
no you wouldn't. you are an insecure little man who cries like a child whenever you see someone who looks better than you. you're the one who needs to "get real".You should have said "angry little man". Trust me, I can take someone being bigger than me. I know guys who are hell stronger than me, who take nothing. If anything, I give them credit when around other people. I'm the last one to knock someone on the same path..

maybe, just maybe, you're nothing special. maybe some of those guys are on, maybe they aren't. maybe some of them are but some of them aren't. you don't know, all you're doing is using YOUR physique as a barometer and saying anything above you is on steroids, anything below you is natural. then you defend it with "well if someone big and natural walked in i'd compliment him!"Of course, I'm not correct every time, but I'd bet 90% of the time I am right. There are some people where it's just blatantly obvious. (Extreme bloat face, deflating regularly, etc.) Bottom line, it doesn't matter anyway you break it down. I have my opinions and you have yours. No amount of commenting changes your view, but does let you see someone elses perspective more clear.

I almost feel bad for most juicers because they need it do accomplish less than what I have, without the use of drugs. :-\
i always just watch peoples "intensity" faces...you know. the way their face contorts when they are exerting full effort. it can tell you alot about the person. personally...i look fucking insane when im lifting heavy...grinning and clicnhcing my teethy..sticing out my tongue. poeple think im a demon on steroids ahhhaYou should see my woman's intensity face... I love her but man, it's ah... well how can I say this delicately,... funny as hell ;D DownPretty... UpFireBreathingDragon... DownPretty.... UpFireBreathingDragon :P
6. rounded back deadlifts
My camera was the shitS (emphasis on that S), and that gym was a hole.Translation: I was laughing so hard at the "form", I forgot how to take a good shot. ;D

i got $50 that they don't think you're a demon on steroids. probably more like a sped on crack. people who look like you do and make faces like that definitely go on the "gym jackasses" list.exactly, if a guy is 290lbs. abd is clenching his teeth squatting 800lbs. or benching 550 it's impressive but candidate is like 155lbs. and he's weak.
maybe i'm wrong. maybe when you're doing your massive 175 pound benches and contorting your face like you're on the electric chair some people are going "man, that dude is JACKED!"

The 1/5 ROM Rapid Bench Press is the best by far.that actually serves a purpouse, if done correctly. it really gve a god stretch..and is great for warming up; or squeezing in extra blood to the muscle after your last set....try it.

3 plates per side......= 315 lbs. 25 lbs per side added to that..(50 lbs)...=365 lbs. and that is with a 45 lb bar...i forgot when doing the math in that last post that my gym uses all 55 lb bars.. so its actually 275..but whats ten poundsyou said "nickel" not "quarter", a nickel is a 5 pound plate in any gym dummy.

10%..... ::)

you said "nickel" not "quarter", a nickel is a 5 pound plate in any gym dummy.
and...the last time you saw a picture of me...i was about 15 5 bf...which is lower than what most of you squad guys are claiming ......and if you are claiming one thing...i can guarantee its even higher than that.
candidate pulldowns are now my favorite lift. ::)
tomorrow is back day for me..I will have to give these a tryThe key is to heave your entire body into them while also having another person pull down on the stack to help.

no Squad, you are wrongWe call the pulldown machine going up to 600 pounds the candidate special. come try it some time.
In my gym (NYSC) we count 100lbs as nickels.
so 3 "Nickels" shouldn't be a problem...right candidate?
My first year of training I worked my way up to 8 plates per side leg presses. I started out with 4 a side after watching some adults men doing it. What a freaking joke!!
Do you realize you just called yourself a joke for doing the same thing?
that actually serves a purpouse, if done correctly. it really gve a god stretch..and is great for warming up; or squeezing in extra blood to the muscle after your last set....try it.
It's Monday and I will be in the gym ASAP and I guarantee I will have "the lift of the day"Half rep machine dips were the routine of the day. I saw another funny thing today in the gym when I was reracking my dbells. This guy was doing incline flyes but with his crossed like a chick sitting down in a skirt. Hahahaha.

Hahahaha.i saw a clown doing dumbbell shrugs with the 90's the other day and coming up onto his toes on every rep and i said, "hey a new exercise, standing dumbbell calf shrug raises".

All of you guys are idiots. I'd own ANY of you on the FIRST DAY of my workout week. I'd like for you all to hit an entire week with me (after I hit the gym AFTER WORK, of course), but, honestly, NONE of you are in good enough shape to even come close to the the poundages I do or the intensity...for just a single day.Hook up with Cormier, do some weed and chill out.
In short, I laugh at your clowns. Idiots like you all make the world go round.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
IF you clowns would spend more time worrying about YOUR OWN WORKOUTS and PROGRESS than about what those around you are doing you might actually develope physiques worth being proud of. Do you know how damn SAD it is that you all go to the gym to pay attention to what OTHER PEOPLE are DOING? Who the hell CARES?
When you look in the mirror and aren't happy, consider spending less time looking at other people exercise. You will see a correlation between being happier at what you see in the mirror the LESS TIME you spend WATCHING EVERYONE ELSE WORKOUT. Why do you CARE what the hell someone else does at the damn gym unless they are stealing the equipment you are using? Otherwise, you shouldn't give a f**k what someone else is doing.
Get LIVES
I'm glad this thread is here. I get tired of internet posters saying they use 350 in pulldowns and 1500lbs. in the leg press. We all know how they accomplish these numbers. I think guys get insulted by these posts because they see themself using cheating short range of moition lifts to prop up their small fragile ego. I was using 90lbs for full up and down incline dumbbell reps bringing them down as low as they could go.
Hahahah....are you saying that EgoCrusher sexually abuses his hair gel before making the Guido porcupine look prior to lifting at the gym? Sounds like a Jersey guy to me.
Let me guess you're from "jersey" too? aka "the shore"
bent over rows....Ya but I think doing 1/4 squats and leg presses are bullshit and are totally ego. Training like Coleman in terms of speed and momentum IMO is bad but his 80% ROM reps aren't bad, esp for the joints.
t-bar-rows.......
squats
barbell curls
but in general it could be every exercise....
"but who is perfect in everything", many good pro Bodybuilders using a lot of speed & "momentum" and the results where better than "Mr. Perfect-Form" who trains his "15 inch arms" who havenīt changed for the last 5 years.
On some exercises i`m going with a less than perfect form, because the results where better....
But on the other side ítīs very important not to go too far with a bad-form, because injuries don`t help you to build a Body you want.
benching more than you can and only going down a few inches.I know a guy with fucked up shoulders and great triceps who can vouche for that one. ;)
I think my two favorite "bad lifts" are the Tuna Bar Curls, where the guy bounces the bar off his thighs and bends backwards, it hurts my disks just seeing it, and the 1/4 squats with way more weight than the person can reasonably do. Just take some weight off and go deep! I think it's alot more impressive to see somebody doing perfect form with less weight...I remember Chick writing in Flex Article about a bar with 800 lbs on it and he, T. Prince and Lou "$20 or leave" Ferrigno stopped to watch and the guy did a 1 inch squat and then racked it. Speak on this Bob.
