Funniest shit you've seen in a gym

Whats the funniest shit you've seen in the gym?
Once saw this guy do shoulder presses in the standing calf machine :silly: :laugh: :silly: :laugh:
Right up there with this other dude who 1/8 squats 200kg without a spotter and walks around like he's the shit, and when I tell him he should go lower he says "then I wont be able to lift as much" :lol: :lol:

A dude sitting naked in the change room reading a novel.... :ohmy: :ohmy:

The standing calve raise machine is not a bad idea.

jr you had to see it dude, he was pressing the pads up it was THE funniest shit I've ever seen. Just remembered this one chick who was doing DB shoulder presses whilst sitting in the leg press machine :laugh:

A guy benching in his rugby shorts with no undies!
Although wasn't that funny, more disturbing

I agree. I love this excercise especially when training for rugby. helps for picking up the jumpers in the line outs

Bicep curls on the smith machine and deadlifts with the t bar row

I have seen some crazy shit in my time. Seen the guys doing the shoulder press on the standing calf machine. Also checked this one dude doing calf raises on the hack squat machine facing the other way. I often see these wanna bees going super heavy on leg press or squat but barely do a full range of movement you cant talk to these type of guys as they know it all already. The funniest thing i have seen is this guy doing wide grid lat pull downs but instead of sitting on the chair this idiot was lying on the ground pulling it down only half way as his arms would be stopped by the floor LMFAO.

Maybe you should try that? In Jay Cutlers training videos you see a machine exactly like that - purpose built for calves. Add a plank to the hack-squat and it works like a bomb.

If you do military presses the calf machine can do almost the same movement.

There are MANY ways to skin a cat.

I do that with the hack squat.

Oh yes, ILS. Love these guys, watched this tag-team trying to bench-curl 120kg the other day, guy benching only the last 3 inches of the movement and the spotter curling it as well :lol:

Never knew the standing calf shoulder press was a legitimate exercise tbh, still funny to watch though :laugh:

There is this old guy where i gym that walks around gym with a walking stick. Nicknamed him "ou skillie". When the guys see him aiming for a machine they gun it to get there before him. If he latches to a machine he occupies it for a loooooong time. He is like a "mossel" on that machine. Funniest thing to see him floating around gym looking for a machine. As soon as he zooms in on one somebody chases him down. Funny as hell!

funniest i have seen was a guy on the smith machine doing incline chest press.. i have a pretty weak chest when it comes to barbell and i max out at 80-90kg's, this guy must have been 20kg's lighter than me with stomach out chest in syndrome went and put 80 on the smith and promptly got pinned to the bench by the barbell, when he finally managed to get out he lowered it to 60kg's managed one rep and got pinned again, he went all the way down to 30kg's before managing 2 reps getting pinned again and throwing his water bottle and leaving the gym ha ha, never seen him since

No wonder the old fart holds on to whatever he can get!

Guys doing a squat on the standing calf raise, like bending their knees, exercising nothing and then the very skinny oaks coming to the gym, for the first time, and poses the whole time!!

talking of tag team, i have also seen in the gym the guy loads 200kg on the bench rack, then the "spotter" stands on a step, to spot him,but when he started to bench, i find it very difficult to know who is the spotter, as the one is benching the weight up, the other one performs a row for the back.

lat ek net by voeg, hulle doen nie "negatives" nie, want as hy klaar is, dan is daai wartlemoene weer onder die arms, hy skreeu soos n mal vark, en wel ja hy is so biki te onosel om te weet wat "negatives" is.
