Dude grabs a 45lb DB from the rack, and proceeds to do standing bent over rows without stepping away. I was already on my way to re-rack an 85, and he looks at me like I'm bothering him when he has to move.
Take the DB / BB / whatever from the rack and do your exercise somewhere else so other people can use it!! It's common sense!!ooxxooXoXXx

Pretty jacked guy and almost as jacked buddy are training, using all sorts of DBs / BBs between them. I think doing pyramids, IDK...
When they are done, they leave all of the equipment laying around for someone else to clean up.
About 30 minutes later, jacked dude #1 is back in the weight room with his trainee wearing a gym t-shirt. Yes he is a PT for that gym.ooxxooXoXXx

Did you not get the memo when you joined the gym?
Personal trainers are Gods that we should all bow down to and worship. You should be honored to get the chance to pick their weights up after them. And if you do it quickly, you may get the magical healing qualities of their body sweat before it evaporates. And there is also a great chance he's fresh off recieving a 1-day certification that made him an expert in something, and you can be blessed with that knowledge for the convenient price of $50 an hour!!!!

Oh, I didn't notice you had a name tag because when I talk to women, I look at them in the eyes and not on their breast.
She would let you PIITB after that.
Some people have really sensitive eyes, there was a period I was using my Ray-Ban in the office srs.
First I was like WTF. Then I've noticed the notepad and I exploded in laughter.

guy at the gym today doing 'squats' on the smith machine. He's about a foot behind the bar and leans forward to get in place. Since he's so far back he ends up standing on the balls of his feet when he does the squat motion, going down with maybe 6" ROM....Squats leaning forward on tip toes...nice

Wow that's pretty sad.
So lemme specify, by wimminz he means women.
It doesn't???
Lol
I looked them up but they're just acting, at first I thought you meant clips of real gym idiots. After seeing the first 2 clips where the supposed "Not gym idiot" is just talking while working out I stopped watching because then he's obviously an idiot himself.

NO IDIOTS THIS MORNING!!!
WTF, I worked out this morning at 00:-dark-30, and there were no idiots. About 20 folks in the gym. A couple doing some hard treadmill work. An elderly man doing lunges. A personal trainer taking someone through a tough squat workout, yes, you read right, a PT making someone do full barbell squats. Not on a bouncy ball. Not with a hoola-hoop and ping pong paddles. Just full, nasty barbell squats. Awesome.
No one was shadowboxing. No TapouT shirts anywhere in sight. No cell phones. A powerlifter was doing some heavy bench, and not only removed his weight, but once he was down to only 135 on the bar, he took off his headphones and asked the guy waiting on the bench if he would like the 45's left on or not! So courteous.
I did a tabata circuit with deads, squats, weighted planks and burpees. I almost puked. I'll pay for this workout the rest of today and probably tomorrow.
It was a fine morning of idiot-less training in the gym today.

Five indian guys come in, trying to do overhead presses with their backs arched over the bench lying on air, seriously thought they were going to break their backs. All of them in casual clothing, jeans, fake 'armani tee shirts' and casual shoes. All whilst using like 5 sets of dumbbells not letting anyone else use them inbetween their sets on one bench.
Also the group of 6 guys who come in to bench, their 3 sets each on about 150lbs take a decent 30 minsBring on picture sigs.

Theres these Mexicans that come into my gym, and they always have their soccer jerseys on, I think the come straight from the adult soccer league that plays on the fields nearby. Anyway, whenever they come in they jump on the treadmill, they all are wearing blue jeans, and they do a full out sprint, like level 10, until they almost collapse and fall off the treadmill, but stop and hop off just before falling. Then they lay there and drink water.
I'm not calling them gym idiots because:
1- They may be immigrants and just not know any better than to wear blue jeans in the gym
and
2- It's actually quite impressive how long they can go at 100% sprint speed without stopping!! They do more work in 30 minutes than 90% of the other members do the entire week!!!!
So, not quite gym idiots, but it is kinda funny to watch. Although, they last longer at level 10 than I would for sure! Couldn't help wondering if they got that endurance from playing so much soccer, or running into the.............ah, nevermind, ain't going there haha!

I was doing bent over BB rows the other day and a guy comes up to me (with his buddy who he was "training") and says while pointing to me "see that right there is a pure lat workout" then after my set he precedes to tell me "hey man i have a great lat workout if you want it"
gym idiot? lol also overheard him telling a girl that she needs to stay hydrated cuz the sarcoplasmic reticulum of her muscles will recede if she doesn't drink enough water. As a bio major (and person with common sense) I almost busted out laughing at his broscience. Just throwing out big words that he heard in his first sports and exercise science class i guess.
1. your a gym idiot if you use straps on chest day

My last encounter with a gym idiot was last leg day.
I was just finishing up on calves and i wanted to use the horizontal calve press machine, but this FAt middle aged man was on it, he looked like he lifted once upon a time. He was wearing a trucker hat, Thin tank top, short shorts and a lifting belt, DOING CALVES.
So he proceeded to do one leg at a time. But he doesnt even use his calves, he bends his knees and pushes it with his quads, without his calves ever moving. Then he alternates between legs every 20+ reps and keeps alternating without stopping. All while hes on his lil ****gy time bluetooth headset talking to his male mysterious.
5 minutes go by and i just move onto leg press/calves presses instead, so after 4 sets/ 10 minutes later, HES STILL ON IT ALTERNATING. I even look between sets too see if this is real life.
THIS IS REAL LIFE.http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoawuYgSkehcUdvZQ6yNOcA/videos?flow=grid&view=0
Check out my youtube channel! Feel free to ask questions, and I'll make video responses as in depth and to my knowledge as I can. I don't spread bro science, my information will be similiar to Ian Mccarthy/Layne/Ogus/Eric helms in the sense that I will base my accusations of of science/studies. Also some personal experience, but I won't impose that onto you. But if you ask, I'll answer :)

I see a younger guy attempting dumbell shrugs. The problem is that rather than use the proper motion, i.e., actually pulling the weight straight up and squeezing, he proceeds only to move his head forward and back. I swear he looked like a chicken.
Typically, I don't correct people's form or offer unsolicited advice but it was obvious he was a novice and frankly I thought he'd get hurt if he continued to do it that way so I just had to say something.

OMG I saw a classic today.
A douche looking 20 something guy, of course wearing some kind of cheap Wal-Mart "MMA Elite" shirt, was over by the dip assist machine. He has on the belt-chain that allows to add weight to your dips. I know, you all see this coming. But he puts the assist machine to about 90 lbs assist. And he's got a big 45 lb plate on the chain. He turns his back to the machine. Rests his knees on the padded seat, and faces outward, so the 45 hangs off the front of him, and he proceeds to do dips. Thus making his dips of 90lbs assist, - 45 lbs weighted, = dips with 45 pounds assistance.
Did he not realize the assist had 90lbs setting?
Did he just want to look cool in front of everyone by appearing to do dips with a 45 lb plate?
It was probably in the top 5 gym idiots I've ever observed. Quite a treat.

I must confess to my own bout of gym idiocy!
I was in the gym at work the other day with a friend. I was really enjoying it, having someone to gee me on and felt really motivated. We were having a good workout, but really having a laugh and enjoying it.
Anyhoo, a senior female officer was in there having an aerobic session and was busy spinning away on the exercise bike. Out of badness I turned and flexed in her direction. Fortunately, she saw the funny side and nearly fell off from laughing.
For the dedicated it's a serious business, but not so serious that we should get stuck up our own arses over it.

Today, while I changed clothes before the workout, a 65y+ guy comes in, changes too: changes t-shirt, takes off his underwear, takes on his shorts (still NO underwear), and goes out. While I walk around in the gym between the cable pulleys, barbells etc, I see him on the abductor/adductor machine all the time, his balls hanging out.
Whadd'ya think?

I read a lot of these yesterday and decided to pay more attention when I went to the gym last night. These were my findings:
1. Multiple offenders of doing DB exercises right in front of the DB rack
2. People damn near bumping into me as I bend down to start my deadlifts
3. A person actually left all the weight they benched on the bar AND left their towel on the damn bench like they were coming back. Took me like 20 minutes of doing other exercises to realize they weren't coming back...lol
