Christ, another one at it again in the gym today...

[jonsande]

At the gym earlier today, I hadn't been in there for more than 15 seconds when I spot a clown in the power rack pretending to lift heavy weight and attempting to establish himself as a HARDCORE squatter, ostensibly to impress a big-assed mom doing lunges next to him . 

My concentration on my own lifts became shaken as I couldn't help but to notice his oversized sweats falling off his ass along with matching hoodie as he bent his knees no more than 20 degrees for a BRUTAL 225 pound semi-partial-half of a quarter rep.  As if this alone wasn't entertaining enough, he let out a MONSTEROUS yell of LEGENDARY caliber that could only rival Young Louie training in Manhattan with father/trainer Matty. 

After taking special care to audibly place the bar back on the rack with as much force as possible, he turned around, saw that I was staring at him with particular wonderment, and gave me a HARDCORE nod of accomplishment and bad-assness, and rode off into the sunset. 

My day is complete.

I also make it a point to ignore pretty much everyone else in the gym when i'm lifting 

[chainsaw]

saw a guy lunging 225, with skinny ass legs.  He must have been 195lbs.  Lunged into the mirror, the squat rack luckily caught the weights.  I walked away embarassed as fuck for the guy.

Well, you're certainly no 240.....

My favourite is the curling guys who load up a bar way beyond them and throw their hips and almost squat under the bar and call it a curl. Or the half ROM and all spotter lifting bench presses.
