Re: General Gym Observations

Guy on lat pull down machine with gloves+straps secured nicely to the bar. After each set he would fly up and be dangling from the bar cause he was strapped to it.

Re: General Gym Observations

At least he was using them for a pulling movement. Ive seen guys strapped in for machine chest press & machine overhead press.

Re: General Gym Observations

Hahaha,

Tell him to do negative grip pullups instead of curls and dips instead of "tricep work"

I had an Indian guy do the same thing, of course I never asked for his spot - he just comes in unprovoked obv in blue jeans. He was literally curling the bar for me with all his might from rep 1. I could maybe barely get five reps one my own, we finally racked at like 15 with this clown curling it for me. All the while he was inches from teabagging me with his stance. I thought I was being punked. I tried to lay low and dodge the spot the last round. But since it was like 2am, he hunted me down for another 15 rep set.
