I didn't think it could be a Zercher Squat, since that implies he's actually squatting.Originally Posted by lrich1

General Hammond has visible fat syndrome, that is why his arms are always stuck out from his sides. But he could still kick your ass, he's a ****ing General!

My gym changed ownership to Bodyplex so it is shut down until the 17th for remodeling. Therefore, I am having to go across town to the Bodyplex on the east side of town. So the first time I go there (a few nights ago) I walk in, explain my story, they tell me im good to go, and i continue to the free weights section to start my chest routine. The guy that works there and helped me when i came in runs over and grabs my attention real quick to inform me that he forgot to give me the "tour." After some common sense pointers and where the restrooms were, women's only side, ab room, etc. he asked if I had any questions. So as Im scanning the place I notice I dont see a squat rack. I asked him where it was--heres the kicker--he points to the smith machine and says "is that what youre talking about?" I say "No, thats a smith machine...is there no squat rack" I finally found it hid away over in the corner behind some treadmills and cables...

Isn't excessive use of a Smith Machine associated with injuries because it forces the body into unnatural ranges of motion?

I mean, I run for about an hour maybe more before I lift. Technically from a scientific standpoint, cardio would be a better warm-up than a couple of sets of low weight reps. I don't see what's wrong with that from a strictly anatomical and scientific viewpoint.

Close. Though not seen very often, there is a Zercher Deadlift and it looks like he's practicing Rack Pulls for them (with form that should provide plenty of house payments for some lucky Chiropractor).Originally Posted by lrich1

This week at my gym:
There is this one guy, as soon as you see him enter the weight room, he leaves a trail of weight plates lying on every machine he uses. I needed to use the bench for bench press. Naturally, he used it 10 minutes earlier and there are 4 45 lbs plates on the bar.
He passes by and I ask him if he's done with his bench press, he says "yeah yeah" real quick and goes to another machine.
Apparently he didn't detect my hidden message lol

I've been reading this thread for about a hour and have to input a couple of dumb things that I have seen in the gym recently.
Two guys were lifting together and they both were listening to their iPods. The problem came when they had to talk to each other and were basically yelling over their own music. This annoyed me even with my headphones on.
A group of girls the other day brought small iPod type boombox and listening to their music and everyone else got to 'enjoy' their music too by proxy. I thought that it was uncouth.

Got one from today-
I'm running. If I'm training myself, I wear my MP3 player. Anyway, this tool comes over to me, taps me on the effen SHOULDER, points to some ratty looking towel about 20 feet away, and asks me if its mine. I stopped, took off my ear phones, looked at him, and asked "are you SERIOUS?!?" Ass*****.

Saw a few uhhh moments yesterday at the gym.
1st. I went over to the smith machine to do military press. (maybe I should just stick with the DBs until my shoulders get stronger). An old lady walked over to me and said something pointing at the other smith machine. I"m mostly deaf so I can barely hear her. I couldn't tell if she was asking me if I was using the smith machine next to me (why would I need two?) or if she wanted to knowwhat the machine was or if she wanted the weight off. So, I took the heavy weight off the bar for her and told her I wasn't using it and walked away to do my sets.
She unhooked the bar moved it just above her head and just started doing kicks. I"m serious! She held onto the bar and just kicked out with her feet like she was kicking a ball. 0_0 I can understand wanting to hold onto something while doing kicks but there are better places to being doing them then the smith machine. And the kicks didn't even look like working out kicks. It just looks like kicking a ball gently. *shrugs*
2. Next I saw a girl on the calf machine and she was just bouncing up and down her feet barely moving. I don't think it was shoulder shrugs with the calf machine but it certainly didn't look like she was working her calf.
3. Saw the usual on the treadmill. Two ladies walking around 2.0 mph just talking to each other. Dunno if they were preparing to run or not though. As much as I'd love to have a training partner with me at the gym; I'm there to work. Not talk.2 timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

SO after reading about curling in the squat rack a dozen times I witnessed the king of squat rack curling...Originally Posted by sunnysunshineRM
NO kidding this guy was curling in the squat rack and added 2.5 lb plates to each side...1 plate per side.
I was doing hack squats and a few other guys were in the vicinity and I think we all were laughing at this guy. He was using his back more then his arms and grunting away.
I would have taken a picture but he did...

Ok someone please enlighten me as to who is the gym idiot in this situation:
I get to the gym, my gym has two squat racks. One is occupied by a gentleman doing squats. The other has a bro in it doing 90 pound bent rows. I watch them do a couple sets because I don't mind waiting for a bit. I ask squatter, he says he still has a while left. I watch bro, figuring he's just finishing up some rows post-squat. After a bit more I ask how much longer he has. He says 6 more sets. I ask if he's just doing rows or if he is still going to do squats. He's just doing rows. I ask him if I can use the squat rack because he can do rows elsewhere.
He replies:
"**** you mother****er, don't tell me what to do, you fat ass ****. Look at you, I know what the **** I'm doing. **** off."
I would rather not deal with a roid-raging idiot like this so I head to the other side of the gym to get my dips and pull ups in. Whilst doing so I realize that what I said may have seemed insulting, implying that he did not know how to properly use the equipment. This was not my intent at all. I see him walking back towards my general area and I walk toward him and introduce myself, holding my hand out and explaining that I didn't mean to insult him. He refuses to make eye contact and walks past me.
What on earth could make someone so insecure and defensive? Was I a gym idiot here for asking him to move? I'm completely blown away by this.Anarchy now
