Seen some sweaty old dude twice sit down on the barbell in the squat rack. I have to put my hands on that, moron!

[endobadyb]

a bloated extra chubby apple-shaped girl took a 30lb straight bar and stood right in front of a mirror and proceeded to do high rep 1/4 squats.

I don't understand why people lift in baseball hats and snapbacks. Does it serve a purpose other than fashion?

It's just as bad as ****s who go to the gym with their face caked in make-up and then proceed to do nothing during their whole "workout" so the make up doesnt start running

Not really a gym idiot, but I always find the pink granny at my gym funny. She would have to be well into her 60's, and always seems to wear a pink tracksuit of some sort. She goes to the same treadmill at the end of the line and puts her newspaper over the display. She is barely walking on it, just seems to stand there and read the newspaper for half an hour or so then leaves.

If that's what she wants to do then I have no problem with it, I just find it amusing that someone would hop on the treadmill to read.

As for doing curls in the squat rack, I have just joined a small local gym and the owner regularly gives me advice. Anyways, on the first day he got me curling in the squat rack. Then again it was quite quiet and it was his gym, so I had no problem with doing it.

Hats make a great sweatband.
Plus they're a nice little buffer for whatever head-grease the previous bench-bro left behind.

How about when you jump rope in the squat rack you're officially a gym idiot.

[SlapNPop]

I love this thread!

You are also a gym idiot if you get in front of the mirror to do your set but are such a self-centered arrogant dick that you failed to realize that there is somebody behind you who was already using the damn mirror.

You're a gym idiot if you use your lifting belt on shoulder day because you want it to hide some of your disgusting gut!

You're a gym imbecil if your bench is stronger than your legs or any other lift for that matter... I call these people bench athletes. Let me know when the next Mr. Bench competition is held. I wanna go see. There is nothing better than a 50" chest with 15" noodle arms to go with it. LMAO... I have so many more but don't wanna be labeled as an ******* on my first post!

THIS! lol! and many more......

[Martin412]

[Martin412]

Lmao really!?? Y would he even try that

[dthncrnge]

your a gym idiot when you come up to talk to me while Im benching.

Really though *******? Can YOU lift this much? No? Then stfu while Im doing it!

[rvadog]

meh, i rack the weights for everything but EZ bars and leg press. there are a bunch of EZ bars, and chances are someone is gonna wanna use a similar weight anyway. as for leg press, most people put a bunch of plates on anyway. im not gonna rack 10 plates so the one granny that day can do her 25 pound leg press

Sooo...you're a douche?

I do this on occasion... helps to keep the sweat out of my eyes and off my face without looking as ridiculous as an old-school sweatband.

[bmoles]

Sometimes I work out with a beanie on.

Badass

[NOSCOP3]

Gym idiot here still trying to figure out how to do dead-lifts, bent-over rows, and keep the bench bar balanced!

[MichaelLifts]

11. If you scream at the top of your lungs during a set, you are a gym idiot.

Strong ROM.

[71Avido]

Had this happen yesterday. Our gym has 2 huge dumbbell racks (5-125lb) basically end to end in the free weights section.
Guy sits on a bench right in front of one dumbbell rack, he then proceeds to walk past the dumbbells he's sitting right in front of to grab some off of the other rack.
He grabs a set of 5, 7.5, 10, 12, 15, 20 and sets them all up in front of the bench.
He then proceeds to do some awful half-ROM curls with half of the weights, gets up and leaves them there.

This next one happened the same day.

I made the mistake of going to the gym during “rush hour”.
All the newbies are there but everyone needs to start somewhere.
Monday is push so I went to start off with bench press. There is one bench station open with no bar. No biggie, the gym has plenty stashed all over the place.
I cross the entire gym and grab an empty bar from the rack and haul it all the way back to the bench.
I turn around to grab some plates to warm up with and by the time I turn back around some (%&!@ newbie is taking my bar off the bench!
The bar wasn’t out of my grip for more than 5 seconds and this jamoke thinks I’m done. Did he not see me just walk across the gym with this bar?

I hate when people don't put the DB back. Its usually the ones I need and I have to walk around the gym looking for them.

The way I claim a bench is I put my towel over the bar. I had to do this during the gym rush hour just to get a drink of water otherwise someone would steal my bench.

[bcrouse0116]

At the gym this morning, about to start doing my thing when I hear what sounds like a cow giving birth. Keep in mind I have my ear buds in and the music is going. So I look around the corner and there is this 6'5" wet noodle with a 15 lbs dumbbell in his hand yelling after each curl.

WTF

Come to find out this was his first sets. Great!! Only 3 more to go.

[sconnelly9]

If you're name is jimmy struthers, you are a gym idiot ... I don't have a link but if you guys YouTube a video called don't be that guy .. the gym edition its halarious

[alexspt]

Haa, you would think these would be common sense, but then again I'm sure there are people out there breaking AT LEAST a few of these! Thanks for the laughs though

Today a kid did pec dec backwards. I kid you not, he sat facing the weight, and moved the arms like 2 inches back for each rep

[Jaybools]

Relax on the dudes who use their phone at the gym.. I use my phone all the time in between sets to record what weights im using ;(

I believe the kid was trying to use an ordinary pec dec to do it though.
