Cut done with - basically unsuccessful first bulk as I did put on a lot of fat to go with the little muscle I added. I know what I did wrong first time round and won't be repeating it. Looking forwards to being able to eat a few hundred more calories!! At least I know I can cut fat efficiently: went from 143lbs to 120lbs and from 35in to 29in waist.

While not a person, ghost equipment is on my list of gym idiots.
Ghost equipment can be defined as every-day "house" equipment that disappears suddenly and re-materializes months later as mysteriously as it left and nobody sees anything.Last edited by 71Avido; 04-16-2013 at 02:05 PM.

If you are:
Doing incline dumbbell curls and bouncing the weights off the floor on every rep…
Doing wide grip pull downs but leaning so far back that your torso is parallel to the floor…
Doing ‘seated’ row but, for some reason, you look like you are ‘lying down’ while performing the exercise…
Not just once or twice, but every time. You can be found doing bicep curls in the yoga/stretch-area-where-all-the- girls-are-even-though-the-weights-you-are-curling-come-from-the-other-side-of-the-gym-and-you -just-carried-them-there-to-do-that-exercise- at-that-specific-place-because-there-are-girls-there…
Attempting to lift 20 to 50 pounds more than you actually can…
Wearing a muscle shirt/tank top/sleeveless shirt/ ‘wife beater’ (I fuc#ing hate this nickname, but for some reason ‘men’ identify with it and understand what it is…) after two weeks of going to the gym...
Inappropriately dressed. If you are wearing jeans, khakis, cargo pants, dress shoes, high heels, a shirt and tie, crocs, uggs, a dress (yes!, I actually saw a middle aged woman on a treadmill at Goodlife wearing a baggy dress and sandals attempting to go for a run and none of the staff talked to her about her attire), mesh shirts (c’mon guys…), or no shirt (again, c’mon guys), is your ass hanging out of your booty shorts? Or are you serving up an overly generous amount of cleavage that I feel like I should have been on at least four dates with you prior...
Not using the right equipment for the right job…. First question should be: Should I bicep curls in the squat rack? Second question: do I actually require a power rack for my entire workout? The answer for both, 90% of the time, is: NO...
At the gym to get laid instead of workout…
Committed to never putting your weights away…
…You are a gym idiot.
Please rep if you like/agree. Please and thank you.

lol nice thread!
If you use the benches as your personal table for your phone/magazine/water bottle and don't actually do any exercises on it...you are a gym idiot!

When people take a vacation on their A** between sets. Seriously? Do you really need to sit on that machine for 4 mins between sets? Just go home.

What with all the posts about gym idiots, how about one to the contrary? I was sharing a bar today with another member who was using more weight than me, and when he'd finished his set, he quickly took the extra weight off so it was ready for my use. Kudos to guys like that.

This is a must see! He did 5-6 sets of this, delaying my squat session by a good 15-20 min. And afterwards he continued to do partial "heavy" decline bench w/ a spotter again.

At the gym Wednesday, my Deadlift with Squat Assistance day, and 2 kids (18-19 years old) are in the squat rack. Doing Bench Press. With a 16" box under the back legs of the bench. Doing 185 pound reps, with 3 inches ROM.
Now don't get me wrong, I understand using a rack if you are lifting solo (for the safety bars) and going heavy. But they were spotting. And at that retarded angle they may as well have been doing dips. And don't even get me started on the ROM - dudes were just shrugging their shoulders, elbows weren't even being bent.
And sadly, it was the last squat rack, so I had to wait almost half an hour.
Oh shyte lol, just saw this a couple posts above:
HAHA yeah just like that, but with LESS ROM and LESS WEIGHT.100% Raw / Natural

Saturday I was at the gym with my brother in law. There aren't many people there at 9am on a Saturday, so my brother in law was squatting at the monolift while I was benching, and we would spot for each other during our rests between sets. This pretty big (not fat) guy walks over and asks to work in on the bench press with his friend/spotter. I see no problem with that, so he starts. He started with 225x5, then 275x5, then 315x5. He had an 8" foam block on his chest the whole time. I figure, no big deal, he's doing board presses with foam and working his triceps. His "spotter" friend couldn't handle that much weight, so he asked me to spot for him because he was going heavy today. I agree, and as I get over him, I ask how he wants me to spot him. He says "ride the bar, keep it from moving forward or backward on me". At this point I wonder why he doesn't just use a Smith machine, but I spot for him as he wanted me to. He keeps adding weight until he has 415 on the bar. I help him lift off, he presses 3 times, but only hit the foam once. I certainly got a lower back and shoulder workout while performing my duty as a human Smith machine.
When he's done, I tell him good job, and out of curiosity, ask what his full ROM bench is. His response, "I don't bench like that, there is no point. Going to your chest just f***s up your shoulders, and you can't do as much weight that way."Last Meet:
