what have you seen or heard that funny


1: Oh, I know we have all seen some bonehead doing benches with their butt way off the bench and some other dude as spotter pulling up about 10% of the wt and then yelling "ALL YOU bro" after he lifts it hehehehehe

2: the 405 squat master, he loads 4 plates a side ande proceds to go 3-4 inch deep and then reack

i always she girl most look really good jsut walking around not really ever lifting just in need of attention(but don't let that confuse you they will get lippy if aprroched)

this one happened to me twice lol: i work out in jean pants(lol i know), well one squat day i start to squat and go down i hear a rip and knew what had happened(i almost laughed my ass off in set) donnie was the spotter one time and he thought i tore my quad muscle, i maned up and finshed my leg workout i had no choice.

seen some women personal trainers have theier female client doing upside down less press on the smith machine(lying on the floor on your back feet on bar pressing lol)

i saw a dude break the seated cable row cable(he had light weight) man did he fly

i will leave the locker room story out for now.

actually the butt blaster is good if you want to increase your squat, but nice try :sadwave: .

Guys that scream their ass off, but have less weight than me.

old guys with shity physiques that talk about the old days and try to give me tips.

small guys giving work out tips to their friends.

teenie boppers hogging the benches on their cellphones.

Saw one guy doing a one handed lat pull down on the free motion on the cell phone.

Women who read the magazine on the bike/treadmill/elliptical

watching people go to my bench, kick my stuff over and take it over. Then I walk up to them and they act stupid and "allow" me to work in.

People that sit by the really heavy dumbells, but are using 30's because they want to look like they can do the heavy weight.

People that use monster amounts of weight, but dont even complete half of the motion, not even a partial rep!

guys dressed in their abercrombie outfit with the baggie khakis and flip flops that walk around trying to make it look like they are doing something.

I ripped my old workout shorts doing cleans. Unfortuanatly it was in front of my football team mates :dunno: .

one kid on my JV football squad shit his pants after he got hit :-D

another kid was doing pushups... in a fire ant mound... oops!

one freshman in the weight room at school decided he was ultimate traps hardass, did one set of shrugs with 315 (using his whole body and calves btw), cleaned one side of the bar off leaving the balance all fucked up. Needless to say he almost hit himself with the bar.

One kid tried to put 225, but "forgot" the other 45lb plate on one side, lifted the bar up somehow and all the weight from the heavy side dropped. Right after that the other side fell off. That was a fuckin riot!

I have only seen one person fall off the treadmill... and she had a 5.8 GPA hahahahahahahaha.

Moldy walking around lifestyles. He didnt do anything, but hes just so damn good at being a comedian even when he doesnt try. Sigh....

I am very easily amused.

People that criticize others (who are busting their ass trying to do the best they can) without being helpfull.......

People who try and strike up conversations with anyone near them...

I've never spent much time in conventional gyms but I always thought it was funny when Joe Redner opened up his gym and all my friends got memberships so they could look at the girls from Joe's clubs.

When we were climbing we used to have fun with the big cocky guys that would come in. My friends and I always tried to be helpful but alot of the time the really big guys didn't like the idea of a thin little guy like me trying to give them pointers...so we'd do something to get our point across like challenge them to pullups, or doing sets on the Bachar Ladder, or something along those lines. None ever got pissed when they lost, but they did become more receptive to our help from then on out and ended up climbing alot better in a short period of time.

guys that wear short shorts, though i think that's funny anywhere, not just in a gym.

if i thought anything was funny, it would be something i did myself since thats the only person i pay attention to. standing around watching other people doesn't help me get bigger.

- When guys scream their asses off when they get done lifting a heavy (or looks heavy) weight...it messes me up when I hear "uugghhh!!!"

- When some guys get all equiped to come to the gym with their huge bag of tricks, weight lifter's belt, gallon of water, bandana, and banana hammocks

ya, i know what your saying, but i don't go when it is busy enough to be waiting for equipment. if i did, i probably would take notice of other people more. and from passing by people and at the waterfountain and stuff most of the guys seem like dicks, so i just listen to my music and stay in my own world and don't bother paying attention to what anybody else does.

Guys trying to strike up a conversation, or following you from machine to machine :dunno:

When i'm on a machine get up betwen sets and take A step away, then immediately someone else jumps on it. Now i don't mind if they do a set while i'm resting for a minute, but when they are done with one of their sets, they will just sit there for their in between time and look at you like " what???". Jackasses!, Thats one thing that irks me, especially if i'm standing right next to the machine with my towel and water bottle still there... Then i just have to go off to the next machine and come back later to finish the rest of my sets.

I'm usually more focused on what i'm doing, as opposed to others. I think it's funny when all the girls do is abs, that i do notice, and it cracks me up.

this one time i was running at the gym.. and this guy was next to me.. and he was running at a normal pace and then went to like a 8 maybe even a 9 and he was crazy he stared to bark like a dog and like grunt like a pig.. it was really weird..but i was like fine whatever bc the gym was packed and i couldnt move to another treadmil. so have 15 mins or so of that my phone rang and i was just talking normaly and talking softly and the crazy barking guy got mad and was screaming for me to shut up and started to bark again.. i swear i thought he was on drugs or something i had never seen anything like it. now i dont go till after the crowds are gone.. haha but it was a good story to tell after

out of shape people who take notebooks in the gym and write down every set they do. that's pretty funny to me.

Actually, i wouldn't laugh, i'd be envious, to have that discipline would be pretty nice, i'd like to know all my weight and sets and reps. If they stick with it, the out of shape part doesn't mean shit.
