Funny things you see in the gym

Not so much funny as sad: old people using the assisted dip and pullup machine.

It's the only place in my gym to do dips (you get rid of assistance by putting a dumbbell on the pad or w/e) but old people like to do sets of 50 dips and pullups with 90% of their body weigh on the resistance and they're only going through 1/8 the ROM. While their particular training techniques are theres alone and do not negatively affect me, It'd be nice if they didn't take 20 minutes just sitting on that machine, they like to rest on it too, it's likea lounge for them.
 
Not funny, but very impressive nonetheless: Dude hangs (5) 45# plates on each side of a deadlift bar and I'm thinking he's gonna kill himself. Dude deadlifts it 3 times! 495 frigging pounds! That was one strong sunuvabeech!
 
Dno if its been said, but farting in the gym. You always walk into that wall of f*cking smell and when lifting its hard to breathe properly.

Its funny when i fart tho, i just casually sly off to somewhere else or go next to one of the fans.

I fart sometimes when pushing a rep out also, which is a fart that i cant control the sound of so if its loud its loud and i cant do f*ck all about it.

Uh, sounds like this is the guy you don't need to be lifting with...
 
I might have one that counts, I just got back from the gym where I managed to split my shorts while cleaning the bar from the floor. I only noticed the second time when I ripped it a bit further

That's now 3 pairs of jeans, 2 work trousers and one pair of shorts I've ripped the arse seat of this year!
 
Oh heres one I saw the other day.

This guy was pumping this weight saying "im bigger than you. im heavier, your nothing."

he was talking to it.
 
I stopped looking in the mirrors and the gym has gotten a lot less funny! hahahahhaha

OK OK,,, there is this guy at our gym that actually reserves a raquetball court to do his jump rope rouitne in. He dresses like a pirate guy, you know with bandana and black boxing boots, he is a tinch older, and he jumps quite slowly, counts out loud, does high jump double skips, and even that crossover to the sides, heeeya heeeya move.....--- but for the whole hour!


he is a riot, but has my respect!

Open the door and listen to what music is playing. Its probably, Hes a maniac, maniac on the floor. And hes dancing like hes never danced before...

He didn't by chanse have one plate in each hand? Some people don't understand the concepts of leverage and gravity..
