Nah the bench dips. If you head to the exercises section of BB.com and check out bench dips (I can't post links yet) that's exactly what he does. You know how some racks have the supports you can put in to catch the barbell if you fail, he puts his feet on one side of the rack and hands on the other and dips away.

Wow this threads been dead for awhile.
The other day at uni gym I was in the power room which is basically 6 power racks...3 on each side facing each other. It's busy and all but one were being used up when this guy walks up and takes the last one. Everyone's doing their thing when we notice him start grunting really loud, almost to the point where he was just looking for attention. I take a break and look over, the ****ing **** no joke was squatting 135 with bad form and after every rep to failure he'd throw the bar off his back almost hitting the guy to the left of him while making a glorious bang off the ground.*LSU crew*

Well ill jump in on this i guess . Im at the gym the other day and just doin my thing workin arms. There is 3 smith machines lined up in a corner, two of them were being used, the other had this one guy about to setup on it. He puts about 10 pounds on each side and lays down. He then begins to throw the damn bar up to the top of the track and attempt to catch it when it falls back down. After the 2nd or 3rd attempt im looking at the people who work at the gym. The look on their faces is something i probablly wont ever forget. After nearly decapitating himself with 20 pounds on a bar 10+ times he gets up and walks away like his lats are to big for his 120 pound 6 foot frame. Nuff said.

I see a guy in the pool locker room at the gym with his lifting gloves on. He proceeds to piss, holding his dick with the gloves on. Now I was in the pool locker room bathroom because it is closer to the deadlifting area in my gym. I had my bar set up and everything and had just finished my second set. After being disgusted from him using the toilet with his gloves on, I come out of the pool locker room to see piss gloves unloading my deadlift bar (yes, he still had the gloves on). I didn't even say a word - just set up elsewhere as I did not want to be anywhere near that bar ever again.

My big one is watching the girls doing the leg "spread" and leg "contract" machines, as though that will make their thighs thinner. I'm pretty sure that those machines are just there to enable two women to sit next to each other and chat for a few minutes at a time while knocking out their 8 sets between the two machines.

@devl
So, hypothetically, if someone was to have a caloric maintenance intake of 4000 calories (cutting at 3500) and they order what you stated, they are a gym idiot? People with higher caloric intakes aren't going to eat 100% "clean" because bodybuilding-wise there is hardly any advantage.Oggie22's Lifting Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=163231711

Not that many gym idiots at my gym thankfully. Only thing I see is most guys don't like to warm up on bench. They just go straight to their sets after a 0-1 warm up set.

Noticed some people think you are a gym idiot if you wear gloves... At my gym some people give me weird looks when I put mine on, if I don't wear any I get big horrible callus' on my hands which some women rather I didn't in my occupation (sports massage on runners etc).
Sometimes there are reasons for certain things people do in the gym that others will classify as idiocy.IG - skootaloot

I used to wear gloves until I realized I had bitch-ass grip strength.

The one "gym idiot" I actually am fond of are the hot women that come into the heavy weight lifting area. I don't know about your gyms, but at mine, we have a basement where all the dude lift serious weight. Every now and then, some hot little thing comes down to work out.... and the things she does is perfectly doable upstairs. They will usually ruin every body's workouts within a 30 ft radius, thanks to all the vag stretches (or whatever) they do.
So yes, idiot move, but god bless 'em, sometimes that's just fine.

Oh yeah, speaking of gym idiots, I'm sure this has been covered already, but....
Do we have any mathematicians here that can give me the equation of old man to naked ratio, in the locker rooms? I'm working on a formula that calculates how prone to total nakedness a man gets to how old they are in the locker room at your local gym.
I go in there, and dudes that I never even SEE in the actual gym are there, naked as hell, and watching TV. It's like they only go there, get naked, and then leave without working out. And, of course, they're about 100 years old.

at my LA fitness we have 2 squat racks and a power rack. The two squat racks are next to each other and the power rack is on the other side of the gym. I see a guy unloading 225 after what I assume was shrugs and ask him if he was done. He gave me the most disgusted look and said no. I go ok and I go and unload the power rack. I get done with my first set of squats and look over and he is curling with 10 on each side. This is at 7 at night when the gym is packed.
Well, I saw that coming. Yet I did nothing to stop it. Why do I fear success?

Has this one been done yet?
The Perfume Princess
That girl that comes to the gym drenched in perfume, every single time. It's not like a couple of sprays to ward off potential B.O., it's more like she fills her bath tub up with it and marinades herself for hours before she goes to the gym. It gets right up my nose and irritates the hell out of me. It's like she is surrounded by a 5 metre perfume force field which stops enemy attacks (guys hitting on her) like the death star in star wars.
Oh, it's the cheap nasty body spray supermarket stuff too, not that there's anything wrong with wearing that, just don't spray the whole bottle in one go.If abs are made in the kitchen how come hardly any women have them?

I saw someone curling in the squat rack yesterday, I didn't think that **** actually went down, but it does.
I asked them to move so I could squat. Srs. Felt so alpha.

Yesterday I saw some random guy doing squats with the t-bar row machine.
It looked to be the most awkward way posible to do that movement.
After school let out or something, 12+ kids came in all at the same time.
They all stayed together with 4-6 on/at a flat bench at any given time.
All of them grabbed some pink dumbells and proceeded to hammer out curls as quickly as they possibly could with the worst form I've ever seen.
The angle of their arms didn't even break 90*On the road to 1250
Train consistently, move iron with purpose, eat well, sleep well and achieve.
