I have three or four guys at my gym who have that Imaginary Lat Syndrome. You just want to go up and slap em and offer to carry the barrels they are carrying.

i got one a while back i was doing dumbell benches it was just an average day and i was kinda tired so i was just doing some sets of 10 takeing it kinda easy when this fellow started useing the bench next to me and looked at me and then down at the weights and said mind if i use thoes to warm up with i said sure knowing full well he was crazy he was much smaller than i anyway he lasts 6 shakey warm up reps lol about wich time i had to laugh then he says could you spot me for my heavy set i said sure so he grabs another pair and says i usualy get 10 with these so i get ready to spot he starts pushing did 1 rep halfway and said help so i did after about 4of these help reps he says 6 more anyway by the 8th rep i was in the middle of the best bicep workout of my life and i dont think he was moveing them at all just kinda hanging on while i picked them up and then he says good spot im done thoe i onley do one hard set per bodypart i swear he was nuts lol.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOh man do I know what ALL u guys are talking about!! I have all those tools in my gym as well, but what also gets me is this; they usually spend SHITLOADS of $$$ at GNC getting pro hormones, creatine, then they go to the gym, pop an adro tab and say "OOHHH shit bro, I can feel it working already! Quick spot me on these inclines" (at 315) and he has his partner turn every color of the rainbow --actually they both do------as he "spots" him... These clowns exist in every gym and it is best if they are left in they're little world anyway, cause I would never trust them anyways..

But, one time I was at gym w/ my girl(She is my partner) and I was off sitting down resting between sets. This 60year old guy comes up while she was doing tri pushdowns and just stares at her ass. I flipped and got up and was like, "WHAT THE FUCK YOU LOOKING AT GRAMPS??!!". He fucking hauled ass just saying, "SORRY!" and the trainers there were pissing their pants. This was my 2nd day at my new gym.LOL

You didn't see that guys pic in the obits where he ran out into the parking lot and killed over with a friggin heart attack??

Those are funny, but this one is kind of gruesome, but comical. It was my sophmore year in college, and this is at the end of the FB season so the whole team is in the weight room training. This linebacker is over benching with his partner. This guy has bad form, he is all cockeyed when he's pushing up. Well he's trying like 365 or something and is struggling. Being a dumb jock his partner is screaming at him to get it and not paying attention to his task of spotting. Well he starts to lose it and turns to one side so the bar doesn't land on his chest. All the weights from one side fall off. As this is happening the guys at the bench next to them hear all this comotion and turn to look. As this guy turns to look the side of the bar with no weight flies up like a teter toter and smacks him right under the chin. I've never seen so many teeth blow out of someones head at one time. It was a fucking mess. Imagine the seen around, a bunch of meatheads wanting to help but they can't because there laughing so hard they're holding onto there dicks to stop from peeing.

The funniest and dumbest mofo's go to my gym... just the other day I saw this guy pull up a raised platform (used for deadlifts)... he gets on it, but he's not doing deadlifts, he's doing squats... he's doing 1 plate a side, and in his first rep he loses his balance, and after some funny foot-work, and falls off the platform... I couldnt for the life of me figure out why the hell he would wanna stand on a platform to do squats.... but it was a great laugh....

I was at a gym in Sacramento, CA back in 94 and we were doing dumb bell press. It was a mellow night at the gym, not a ton of people and this guy comes over to do dumb bell press next to us. He grabs a couple weights and lays down on the bench and gets maybe 2 reps then he slides completly off the side of the bench falling to the floor and the weights go rolling across the gym, it was to damm funny.

Statix · #16 (**permalink**) 09-13-2002, 01:35 AM

this evening in the gym...i thought of this post when i was over by the dumbbell rack and overheard this guy about 6' and maybe 150 lbs talking about his benchpress...one thing that is just as bad as the imaginary lat syndrome guys as talked about above are the the guys that talk the talk, but never walk the walk...this guy is telling another guy about how his bench is about 275 right now, but feels that it should be a lot higher because of how strong his tris are...it's funny because just the other week i saw him on the bench press and he struggled like crazy to get 6 to 8 reps out with just 155 on...i remember this because i was lifting next to him the other week and he was telling the guy spotting him that he is just getting back into lifting and he was only benching about 225 at the time...i thought at that time, 225, MY ASS...yet now 275...i'm thinking who the fuck is this pencil neck trying to fucking fool...one piece of advice one of my buddies told me a while back that always sticks with me is "train your muscles in the gym not your ego"

#17 (**permalink**) 09-13-2002, 02:48 AM

lol statix...what's funny is that I could think of about 20 guys right off hand that it could've been. I have a good mental pic of just what you explained. Even though I changed gyms, I never forget where I started..lol. there are guys like that at every gym

later statix

Statix · #18 (**permalink**) 09-13-2002, 06:28 AM

hey moose,

yeah i'm sure you could think of plenty of guys off hand, but i don't think you would recognize the guy i was talking about...

later moose

p.s. shoot me a p.m. sometime

Ry Roid · #19 (**permalink**) 09-13-2002, 08:20 AM

...but, one time I was getting up from resting from a set and someone called my name and I turned around sooo fast I ran into a military bence w/ my head. I got the sharp end right in my fucking eye.LOL This was when I was 18 and full of spunk so it didn't phase me.hehehe

crackerjack414 · #21 (**permalink**) 09-16-2002, 05:55 AM

LOL here is mine; I stroll into the libray with my tursty water bottle in hand. I go over do m,y research and all of a sudden this big fat guy walks over and starts throwing a fit about my water bottle ( which was empty) .He worked himself into a nice little frenzy trying to intimidate me. WEll I left, and later that night I was at the gym lifting....... Iam just finishing my last set of bench at 230x7 and who walks by but that fat guy. I got up from the bench and the guy had this increadble look of fear in his eyes. He then went to the next bench and struggled for his 8 reps at 100 pounds. Since then he wont make eye contact with me, or come any where near me. LOL

Bigbadasian · #22 (**permalink**) 09-16-2002, 08:48 AM

|--[\\\\]>------ Stupidest thing in the gym...ME! LOL! But really, we have this guy who will strap 3 plates to a dip belt and do 2 reps...

crackerjack414 · #23 (**permalink**) 09-16-2002, 05:10 PM

my favorite is the guy who comes to the gym and stares at every one. He does nothing about bragg about how he can do 1200 pounds on the legpress machine. Then he changes the story that he can bench 1200 pounds. Then he goes over to the legpress machine stacks on as much weight as possible and moves it 2 inches.

I go to the same gym as Johnny. The one superman is actually rather strong but weighs about 150lbs at 5'4". He can squat 500-550 in good form-Ive seen it. BUT he constantly goes on about being Natural. I mean even at 5'4", how much muscle can you carry at 150lbs?
Now his brother is a real puss. He is a little fitness boy, always hanging at the front desk like he is someone important and sucking up to all the girls (of which Im sure he gets none!).
He and his partner were screaming bloddy murder while inclining
145lbs on the bar, about 3reps in. Might have gotten 5-6 total.
All the hard core guys are looking at each other, like-"what the fuck is this?"!? Unbelievable.

I love these threads-always alot of laughs! ROTFLMAO

I get a laugh out of the guys who just kind of make up exercises. We got one at our gym we have nicknames Spaz. It's fun speculating on names for the exercises he invents: So would you call that an incline bench overhead cable cross? How bout that one Spaz, is that a weighted dumbbell jumping jack?
