There's aguy at my gym who wears spandex black addias short, with a black spandex tank top. He walks around with a boufant perm and his headphones. He always does every dumbell exercise standing like 6-8 inches behind any GUY also near the dumbell rack. Watches guys squat and deadlift. Then he goes and stetches for 20 minutes after the most useless workout ever.

He probably means the guys who drop/throw the dumbells from close to the top of their final lift, so as shake the gym floor and let everyone know how hardcore they are.Originally Posted by SaNdMaN"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."

Not by throwing them, lol. I just kind of bring them down, then do kind of a quick hammer curl motion towards the floor.

My arms are really long and can reach down to set them on the ground.
Wierd. I lost around 60lbs, went from 210 down to 155. All my lifts went up during this cutting phase and I am strong now than I ever was at 210. I did weightlifting on cardio off days. I increased my muscle mass during cutting, there is no doubt about it. If this is possible for everyone, I can't be sure.7. If you have ever uttered the phrase "I'm going to cut 40 pounds of bodyweight while increasing my muscle mass, you are officially a gym idiot.

The following are examples of gym idiots:
People who take the time to re-set up the squat rack for their barbell curls and gym idiots. Im serious, taking off the safety bars, lowering the clamps that you rack the weights on.....bastards. Then when I get to the gym I have to reset it up!
People who talk on their cellphones in the gym, during their whole freaking workout.
People who never work legs (98% of members at my gym).
People who only hit chest and arms.
People who workout, but have diets that are ****, and still think they will get huge.
People who lift with light weights, thinking they will get huge.
People who talk to you while you are in the middle of a set.
People who don't put weights back on the racks.
I could go on...

I guess you guys don't have to deal with this but there is a woman at my gym that left her used pad in the shower....
It was HUGE like a foot long, 4 inches wide, and 1 inch thick and not 1 spot of white left...
We now call her the "Rag Hag"
Oh, she also drinks coffee out of a mug while in the shower. Is that normal?

The stupid f*** who works his chest for a whole 2 hours straight. He has probably been doing it his whole life because his shoulders ACTUALLY CURVE IN TOWARDS HIS CHEST!!! WTF!!! Can he not tell he looks really REALLY ****ed up? I have never seen this guy do any sort of row, always ****ing chest to the extreme. ****ing toolbag.

I've seen a guy who drinks a can of A&W Rootbear during his work-out. Then there's another who bounces from exercise to exercise pounding 1 set of 2 or 3 repetitions with no apparent method to the madness.

Swing your elbows in so they are against your waist. Then lower your arms like a negative hammer curl. It's really not that hard.

"6. If you train, lets say chest on monday and triceps on tuesday, you are officially a gym idiot."
I do arms and tri's after chest day.
I guess i better change my workout around.
Age:17
Bench: 250
Squat:405
weight: 180

Just lift for fun
My goal: Get beefy. Not to cut. Look big. For me, its about how much it looks like you could lift not actually lift.

How about those guys that walk into the gym, and grab some barbells and throw em around, with the worst form in the world, just swinging those things like yo-yo's.....I love seeing those kinds of dudes.....Or the ones who walk in and max-out without warming up, only to drop the weight on their chest, and make a fool of themselves in front of everyone.....
Sometimes, I laugh even more if one of them approaches me and tells me how long they've been lifting for....It's great after I see them swinging weights all over the place....It's good comic relief after a long day....
Funny post tho, but sadly, true in the essence...

* people who don't train lower back
*people who round their backs and think they have a tight arch going, just because they look at the ceiling
*people who wear running shoes during squatting etc
*people who do static stretching before they start working on the snatch
*people who drop empty barbells and 40 kg barbells from overhead
*people who wear gay workout gloves
*people who always break the chalk
*....
------------------------
Now a funny example which happened recently:
I train in a olympic lifting gym that has general strength training as well. A young man walks in and asks my coach what to begin with, my coach tells him to begin strengthening his back and getting used to squatting etc. The newbie tell my coach he doesn't want to work lower body because he likes they way his legs look.

- The guys who neglect their legs because they feel their "big enough"
- The skinny guy that offers you advice on how to put on mass
Some of the guys at my gym have almost the same schedule with a few tweaks
Monday- Chest
Tuesday- Chest
Wednesday- Chest
Thursday- Chest
Friday- Chest

Tony Soprano Gym
Being i work out in bensonhurst, bklyn, ny at the former Gold's Gym (now NYSC); I have the luxury of seeing every gym idiot mentioned on this thread and them some.
My gym consists of more Joe Guidos and ayo Maria Guidettes than any other gym in the WORLD! I swear my gym is like a scene out of the godfather.
Here are some more of the idiots not mentioned yet:
1. If you wear a clubbing shirt and a big gold chain outside of your shirt and look you look like something out of night at the roxbury just to work out, you're a gym idiot.
2. If you not only talk on your phone but talk on it while you are doing an exercise, you're a gym idiot.
3. If you wear space boots and hang upside down for 5 minutes and repeat this procedure for 30minutes, you're a gym idiot
4. If you wear a sweat suit (those bollinger purple ones that are used for things like wrestlers to lose water weight) and claim that it helps you lose fat while you work out, you're a gym idiot.
5. If you throw 4, 45lbs plates on top of a cable curl machine because the initial 220lbs it has isn't enough for your cable curls and then you break the cable rendering it inoperable, you're a gym idiot. (every week a machine breaks in my gym and the cables only last about 2 months before having to replace them on the cable machines).
6. If you blow your hair out (women) and load up makeup and wear next to nothing and work out on cardio machines with zero intensity and your ass sticking out to get noticed, you're a gym idiot.
7. If you do bench presses with your legs on the bench instead of on the floor bc u feel you can lift more, you're a gym idiot.
8. If you do shrugs and roll your shoulders instead of shrugging, you're a gym idiot.
9. If you do incline crunches with a 45lb plate on your chest and only go down about 5%, you're a gym idiot.
That's all i can think of but there are many more in my gym, i'll post them at a later date if i can remember.
The rounded shoulders one was great, 95% of the guys in my gym overdo it and have rounded shoulders in my gym from doing just bench.

Gym Idiots:
Guys who actually wear spandex (what are you thinking)
When you are doing incline db bench press or db shoulder press watching your form in the mirror and some idiot decides to stand in front of you and do curls.
People who leave their towels on equipment to reserve it for when they are done with their current piece of equipment

At one point or another, I have done the majority of things listed!!!!!!!!
Honestly, I dont know if its for better or worse, but I did those things on purpose!!
I stand at the rack when curling dumbells (Im only going to be 20 seconds- plus, once I get up to 50's + my forearms are almost useless)
For a month I always worked by bicepts tuesday and Wednesday.
I use the smith machine (for a few years it was the only option) for bench and get pissed because I cant balance/bench the same weight
Im that guy who could use some more meat on his legs (I have the strength, but the size doesnt stick! - I need a CaR!!!
Now that I think about it, I could list everything I do / have done in the gym as additions to the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -F@*k Me!!
