Some bro that was hogging the squat rack for the pull up bar above it for some crossfit/metcon circuit thing claimed 4% body fat today, i just loled to myself.
Was blooding annoying though, there's about 6 pull up bars in the gym and he has to use the squat rack one. I think the mirror in front of it is what swung it. I need the power of Thremp in such moments and be able to say "Oi!, mfker..." alas i cannot. I want a quiet life.
forgot to post this. it was last monday night, and i was done deadlifting. one of the regular guys at the gym who always small talks with me came up to me, fist bumps, asks me what i'm doing. i tell him. then he says he just got out of the office, where he banged a cougar, nutted three times, and now he is in the gym to see what he can do. every other conversation before this was more along the lines of "nice lift" or "man you love those squats," so it was quite a wtf moment.

this really wouldn't be my style either, but I know tons of people who just feel the need to tell everyone that they did something cool
I still think it comes off pretty douchey, especially in this case. People always want to come off sounding cool and not realize they sound like complete tools

thats annoying. at my gym the pullup bars on the squat racks are much much nicer than the other ones but i would never bother to use it if someone else was there. ive mostly been doing kb stuff lately and i ****ing haaaate it hatee hate it when ******* trainers just come and grab a single kb from the middle of the rack and then just leave it stranded somewhere random in the gym when im trying to work out. nothing worse than ppl who dont clean up their rack/area/put kbs or db's back when they are done. so tilting.
I'm perfectly fine with people using it between sets, I mean most people are only going to be using them for 20 seconds at a time but this guy was doing was some type of circuit training with him and his friend so it was in a rotation and was out of action for the whole time they where training basically, it wasn't hugely long tho <10min.
Guy at the smith machine, doing seated overhead press.
First off, hes wearing gloves and a belt, don't ask me why, but whatever.
So he loads 245lbs on the bar, and is sitting so that his face is positioned directly under the bar. He is looking up at the bar, and as he is doing his reps, he brings the bar down directly over his teeth. If he had about one more half-inch of ROM he would be kissing the bar on every rep.
I should work some of these Bulgarian Jaw-Breakers into my routine....
Someone completely unloaded the leg press machine. I'm pretty sure it was 6 plates on a side as well. I even said to him that I don't think I have ever seen anyone do that before. He thought it was pretty funny and probably not that unrealistic. I was truly having trouble comprehending what he had just done.
Also, this isn't a gym observation so much as a random anecdote. I was walking back from class today with some girl and she was asking me about my day (after telling me that she got peed on while working at a daycare lol). I just said class, workout, CPA stuff; basically my standard day. Anyways, she asked what I did at the gym so I said Squat, Bench, OHP not really expecting anything to come of it but she starts talking about how she loves squatting saying how it makes her butt look better and takes care of cellulite all at the same time. Blah Blah Blah (I have no idea what she said since I'm now obviously looking at her butt.).... "It's definitely my favorite exercise and I hate all the guys who don't go down like four inches with a ton of weight trying to look cool," or something along those lines. Rather than just proposing on the spot, which was the first thing that popped into my head, I did manage to set up something for this weekend.

I've been working out late at night (midnight-1am start time). There is this twig of a man that is on the stair climber or stationary bike literally 100% of the time I have been there. He's there when I get there, he's there when I leave.
He's disgustingly skinny. I feel bad for him, he clearly has whatever psychological disorder it is that causes one to workout too much.
