He deserves the Darwinism in action award plus honorable mention in the what the hell were you thinking weekly news letter.

Reps for that find..

That guy would probably agree with you if he could remember his name..

Wouldn't it be funny if the ring and the dumbell on the head created an instant conditioned response in him and everytime the phone rings he starts ducking.

To bad we couldn't create such a condition response for people who refuse to put their weights away.

Conditiong the people to put their weights away is not going to happen.

Forget it!

My theory is that the first weight lifter, (Liftusbiggusrockus-cromagnus) left his weights out which pissed the second weight lifter off and it's gone down hill since then.

The best thing you can do is get one of these at home lobotomy kits like I did and keep dickering with it until it doesn't bother you.

It took me about 3 trips to get it dialed in but when I did all was well and happy once more.

Hope this helps...Peace

Silly? Yes. But imagine how cool he would have looked if he had pulled it off...

I guess another lesson to be learned from this is: don't let anyone film you while you're working out. It makes you try things that you really, really shouldn't try.

Touche' my friend there's been many a time in my life when I could be either hero or ******* by not trying and I always took the chance to be the hero.
I praise him for that and in a sense he is much like me..

Lots of scars both mental and physical..

Minotaur · 08-13-2006, 05:42 PM

Well, I may come off as cold and judgemental but the guy deserved it.

Anyone using a light enough weight to be able to reach in his pocket and answer the phone deserves to get cold-cocked.

LMAO...I tell you I am going to need the booster kit.

Another thing that this video highlights is the importance of the mental factor in weight training. Us muscle-building folks often get stereotyped as brainless animals. But, here we have a clear example of what happens when someone attempts to train without a brain. Kablooie!

45BIG · 08-13-2006, 07:37 PM

I'd say this guy was definately lacking in mind muscle connection. The mental factor just wasn't there.

yellowrv · 08-14-2006, 04:35 AM

Bet that was Lumpy calling. Wonder how much he spent fixing his grille?

FittyFour · 08-14-2006, 07:26 AM

I *HATE* cellphones in the gym. Are you there to talk or work out?

This is my time. I spend all day on the phone, or on email, or in meetings. Please don't make me part of your business or social life - especially without my permission.

Short story - when I did cardio, usually at the same time of the day, one woman would show up on the elliptical next to me. She would set the machine, cover the display with a towel, and then carefully place her address book and cellphone in front of her. While mindlessly spinning, she would make call after call after call. And that was right in front of a sign that said "No Cellphones Permitted".

I bitched to management - but before they could approach her, we saw her dismount from the elliptical, still on the phone, take a few steps, trip on one of the benches and go ass over teakettle.

Don't I love karma!

funny vid. but this crashes my browser (firefox) and leaves the profile locked until you manually kill the process.

BergMuscle · 08-14-2006, 12:32 PM

Makes me wonder what that guy thought he was gonna hear on that phone that was so urgent he couldn't put down both weights and sit up.

musclehouse · 08-14-2006, 12:35 PM

That must of felt like being hit in the face with a bat by a little kid.

hapkido · 08-14-2006, 01:33 PM

That was great, two things I hate to see in the gym, cell phones and news Papers.

BCeagle · 08-17-2006, 07:09 PM

I was starting to cringe waiting for it to happen and then would just love to see his face after he got hit.

Cellphones should be banned from all gyms except lobby and locker room. I know it doesnt affect me but get so mad seeing people sitting on machine while on phone. (if i was waiting for the machine I thik I would have to say something.)

Sockomalo · 08-17-2006, 07:18 PM

i thought this was goin to be something about cell phones in pant pockets being broken doing incline db press by the 100's
