If I may add something to your article...

The guy who does curls in the squat rack is officially a Gym Idiot. The guy who thinks you need a dedicated machine for every exercise isn't too far behind him, though.

if u weigh ureself with ure 10 pound boots and ure gallon of water u dont drink.....

I would have to say that the guy who wears real baggy pants into the gym to workout in, so as not to show that his massive upper body is carried by toothpicks. That my friend is the all time gym idiot.

That's funny, every gym has one. I like the term that Pavel Tsatsouline (sp?) from Muscle Media uses, he calls them "mullets". What a great term!
My favorite gym idiot story is myself. When I was in high school I played quarterback, and I would never do any Biceps because I was absolutely convinced that it would ruin my throwing arm. Instead I would hit triceps like crazy telling everyone I was going to add 10 yards to my throws over the summer. IDIOT!!!

Lol. . .hell yeah! Especially when I'm waiting right there to use it and you just continue on with your 10 sets of curls like your "huge biceps" are so much more important.
-
You are a gym idiot if you go to the gym to Socialize and talk.
You are a gym idiot if you do not sweat after 45 minutes of working out (unless you are new and just starting out)
You are a gym idiot if you stare at that one hot chick in the tight white spandex pants with the red trim
and the small tank-top while she does lunges and.... wait err.... never mind. ;)

you scared em there i was gonna say I wasnt a gym idiot then i read your stupid post there...good thign you corrected your self.

My personal favorite gym idiot is "imaginary lat guy." We all know him. He parades about the gym with his pipe cleaner, 14 inch arms held out as if his lats were so massive as to force this condition to exist. Meanwhile, King Douchelips looks like Steve Urkel's skinnier cousin. Ooh...how intimidating he is as he glides past you at the drinking fountain. A hulking mass of skin and bones who possibly weighs in at 110 lbs. soaking wet.
-
Your officially a gym idiot if you "BOUNCE THE F@#$ING BARBELL OFF YOUR CHEST WHEN DOING BENCH PRESS!"
God I hate that...
-
We call that 'carrying buckets' down our way and it invariably the skinny dude whose been lifting for 1 month who does it. He needs a month to convince himself that his lats have exploded and keep rubbing against his tris.

well, just witnessed an idiot/overzealous freak who asked 2 spotters to help him on his bench presses using the smith machine. He had each guy holding one end of the bar during his presses. I wonder who was doing most of the work????
Shhheesshhh.
-
Just wanted to add some of the gym fouls I've witnessed here at JMU's UREC:
- The group of 4 frat guys lazily taking turns at one bench, bragging about how trashed they got the night before.
- Girls that put on as much makeup as they would on a Saturday night, and barely break a sweat on the low-impact elliptical machine.
- The guy swinging his entire upper body on the lat pulldown machine, just so he can use the same weight as his buddy.
- Girls doing 50+ reps of curls with 5 lb. dumbbells, all the while just checking guys out in the mirror and not even paying attention to their "lift".
- Guys who apply posing oil to themselves before working out, stinking up the entire gym with a coconut smell. (Ok, there was only one guy that used to do this; he's gone now)
- The fact that everyone does bench on Monday. Actually I don't really mind, because the benches are empty when I want to do it later in the week.
Let's keep this goin, these are fun. :)

LOL couldnt be more true here in my college gym. It's funny, you can tell who at my gym knows what they are doing and who doesnt. If you go in the morning almost everyone there has a little notebook , recording and they use proper form. Come later at night and all the "big guys" come out and have the worst form with the most weight. Pretty much everyone at my damn gym does bb curls in the power and squat racks.
Gym idiot= Retarded frat boys who lean backwards when doing T-bar rows just so they can throw on a whooping 2-3 plates.
Gym idiot= noob who doesnt take the time to understand a little about lifting b4 he jumps into the gym and does all the wrong things: leaning forward squats, upright rows, swinging curls, tricept pushdowns where they are all but leaning over the cable.
Gym idiot= BBers who dont leave their ego at the door. BBers who would rather lift a lot instead of looking good. BBers who think they are powerlifters.
-
Weight
I would have to say anyone who believe it's all about the weight you do, and not about the form. This covers oh so many things ex: Heavy Squats going down an inch, any curl where you throw your back into it, I could go on for ever!
Oh and the Screamers, I'll ocasionally grunt but you all know what I'm talking about.

i'm definately a gym idiot after training hard for 15 years then seeing young blokes half my age take a few steroids and grow twice my size in a month. Am i the only natural (idiot) bodybuilder on the planet?
-
if you have been training hard for 15 years then notice than lads half your age have got twice your size in a month coz of chems does that make you a gym idiot ( for not doin the same roids)?
-
OMG that was so funny. Even as a girl I could relate to some of it. No boy watching here though. :)

The gym i train at has, the BIGGEST GYM IDIOT around.

3 reps of everything, with the worst possible form and the heavist weight possible.
attempts to talk to you when ur half way through a set.... grr ****ign hate that.
gets under the smith machine stands on one leg, and jumps up and down, looking like a ****ing tool.

Steroids only does not equal big muscle gain. Combined with genetics, training and nutrition = BIG MOFO

gym idiot=my friend who brags about how much weight he can bench (215) when nobody has seen him do it and last week he could barely do a push-up, and now he "dislocated his shoulder" so he cant bench...pussy. and i saw him in the kick boxing class the other day with a "dislocated shoulder" showing some hotty how to box...pussy.
and i have another friend that is freaking huge and i never see him workout except like 2 reps in football weightliftine. he goes to the gym, takes off his shirt, flexes, gets water, goes home. im not calling him a gym idiot cuz he could beat me at any lift you name, but damn it hes so lazy in the gym.
