what is the dumbest thing you've seen at the gym?

The usage of clips on a swift machine

all those guys who think they are living through war just because they are lifting

What? You don't add clips for that extra .5lb?

The guys who aren't fucking the receptionist of their gym. You have to be an idiot not to be.

>>42571134
God, I thought this was a joke when I heard these stories, until I came into the gym once and the clips were on it. Then I saw a retard doing it.

Some guys doing StrongLifts 5x5

>>42571080
I once saw a girl who was using the rower as if she was paddling a canoe. Instead of pulling it straight back, she was dramatically swaying the bar from side to side.

But the worst are the men that overload weight on cable machines, make up some exercise that doesn't even make sense, and then scream and grunt, only drawing attention to what a bunch of dumbfucks they are. I see this over and over again.

>>42571163

>>42571317

Yesterday I was drinking my proton shaker just outside the gym and I saw a guy walking out, basically normally, except he didn't tip the receptionist. Wtf?

I've seen people pulling down only one arm at a time while doing lat pulldowns. Your arm moves like 2x as far as the actual cable does, effectively creating a lever.

There's this one kid around like 12 that hangs out in my gym all the time. I think he's the owner's son or something.
He doesn't run around (because he's kinda fat) but he just lazily does circuits of all the machines. He puts on light weight then does a single set and then moves on.
You can tell he's only there because his dad is forcing him to.
But it's just annoying to have this kid everywhere

>>42571366

I don't do this, but why would that be a problem? Why would doing lat pull downs one arm at a time be any less beneficial than doing both at once?

>>42572208

Stop being autistic and complain to management. You pay to work out at a gym, not a daycare center. If they don't do something about it, change gyms. Disruptive behavior is a catch-all in almost every single gym's terms.

People doing upright rows

I watched a girl wrap a yoga mat around a barbell and load it with 10s on each side, then proceed to attempt to do barbell hip thrusts off a bench. She didn't even take the barbell from the extra barbell rack. She took it from a bench press station from across the room

>>42572469
>upright rows

Enjoy rotator cuff injuries

>>42572469
Can never do these without hurting my wrists somehow. Is there any point in doing them if you already do latraises?

A guy doing leg press shit on the smith machine when the gym has two leg press machines which were empty. The thing shook like it would fall down several times. Then a gril took the machine and did the same shit except one leg at a time and with less weight. I am still confused.

>>42572469
This is the best fucking excercise for building your delts in the history of the universe, and it's also the best for shredding you rotator cuffs. Feels bad dude.

>>42572364
It's totally fine if you switch out the bar an for a handle and sit to the side but if you just use the standard bar you're going to throw it out of balance and not get an even shittier ROM. I have seen some people just put their hand in the middle of the bar to avoid the imbalance and I guess that's fine.

There's nothing wrong with trying to hit your muscles in different ways, but i so frequently see dipshits use the cable machines in ways that demonstrate they didn't even bother looking at how to do certain exercises and they swing around wildly without any consideration for form.

There's something about the cable machines that allow for experimentation (unlike the regular machines that force you to do the exercise a specific way) but aren't as intimidating to newbies as the free weights are. So they just go wild.

I see some weird shit with free weights on occasion, but not as much.

>>42571317

Dunno, but i would avoid, tried it once by myself and felt completely unnatural, looked it up and found out why (internal rotation).

For shoulders i just do ohp, with lateral raises(standing) and front raises (seated), am going to start doing rear delt exercises as well too.

I would think the only reason to do this is in a home gym without a leg press. Even then, just do squats and get a squat rack instead of a smith machine.

I saw a guy do wide swing alternating cheat curls with two diffrent sized dumbells. One was 4 kg heavier than the other
Said he couldn't do the bigger weight yet, so he alternates hands, which somehow allows him to get more work in?

The kicker is, the dude was a twig and the dbs were literally the weight our local 210lbs bodybuilder uses, the guy who's does 308lbs seated OHP triples has arms bigger than the mismatched db dude's torso.

>>42572709
Have you ever used a leg press that was positioned that way? I think it's called a vertical leg press. There's a cool gym called quads in Chicago. They have one. I'm not a fan of it but I know people that like it. The position looks very similar.

Me. I completely changed my sleep schedule so I could go to a 24hour gym at 4AM that's three times as far as a regular gym that closes at 10pm and actually has better equipment, just because this way I don't have to interact with fucking normal people while lifting. I'm not even some genuinely autistic sperglord who can't function in society, in fact I'm a high school teacher. I just really don't want to interact with gym people.

This old SEA lady was doing DB bench but she had a full size set of headphones on so they kept falling off

she ended up tilting them on her ears so the band at the top of the headphones covered her eyes

Today I saw some guy throw up 2pl8, strap on a belt, just to do quarter squats

There was one time when I saw this guy, he was pretty big, but he did the weirdest shit. Every time I'd walk by him he's puff himself up and try to look tough. I looked over at him between sets and saw that he was doing curls with this weird incline bench machine. After that he just starts walking around the gym cleaning the machines.
>surely this is not what they meant by power cleans
But he was just going around wiping down all the machines. After a while he grabbed a pair of 60 lb dumbbells and did a single set of the most incredible cheat curls I've ever seen, cleaned a few more machines and then left

>>42577421
He was probably planning on doing some jerks when he got home

Yes it is, there's no need to push it that hard and reaching failure is only so difficult anyway. An 8 rep set is easy as fuck.

The only truly challenging thing I've ever done in the gym is 20 rep squats, and I will give it to you there, those are brutal.

He started with leg press every time he works out but his class ends before he can complete every machine so he starts again with leg press the next day etc etc. Gym teacher tells him about muscle dedicated days so he can work out a different muscle group each day without doing legs first all the time.

I don't know about that. I swear anything over 2 plates makes it start to tip at least a little bit.

>>42577495
>0.5 pl8
What is this? Typically a "plate" is 45 pounds so it looks like each weight is half of that, but a 22.5 pound weight isn't a thing. "1pl8" typically references 135 pounds in total, so half of that 67.5 pounds. With a 20 pound smith machine bar, that means each weight is 23.75 pounds. So is 0.5 pl8 25 pounds on each side?

Oh.
I guess that'd make it easier to rack and unrack,

>>42581377
A bit, not that the racking and unracking should be an issue anyway. But this setup makes for some weird-ass mechanics, he doesnt even have his ass on the bench.

If he has clips on and he fails a lift (with his ass in the air) he won't be able to roll the bar to his midsection and get up either, all he can do is roll it to his neck and end his suffering.

>What is this? Typically a "plate" is 45 pounds so it looks like each weight is half of that, but a 22.5 pound weight isn't a thing. "1pl8" typically references 135 pounds in total, so half of that 67.5 pounds. With a 20 pound smith machine bar, that means each weight is 23.75 pounds. So is 0.5 pl8 25 pounds on each side?
are counting in the bar?

The problem here comes when people are taking the plates off.
They tend to slide/drag the plate along the bar, they do not lift and slide the plate.
Which leads to the weight of the plate pushing downwards, near the edge of the bar.
It's obvious that this leads to the tipping of said bar.

It's 2*20 + the 20kg bar
Convert 135lbs to kg

>>42582648
Nope, lmao1plaet is 60 kg and and lmao2pLAET is 100 kg etc. Think it´s because murica generally has 45 lbs plates. Because they are smaller, weaker and didnt have Eleiko.

I saw a kid in our gym setting up pic related in the middle of some machines.

Why the parent thought that that would be a good idea, idk.
