If you have ever trained at a gym for any length of time you probably have some amusing stories to tell... why not share them here. I got thinking about this just today when... I noticed this kid looking at me out of the corner of his eye and he started setting up the bench press. I had just banged out a set of incline press on the smith machine with 315lbs and was talking to one of the other gym members when I noticed this same kid squirming away. He had put on 185lbs on the bench press and IT WAS RESTING ON HIS THROAT. I ran over and lifted it off of him quickly... and with his first breath he said "how much does the bracket weigh on the smith machine anyway"... strange...

today at my gym (the Y downtown in winnipeg) there was your standard downtown people... lots of creeps... one guy who weighs about 100lbs does cable shrugs for what seems like an hour then tears off his shirt and starts flexing... jackass. There's also another obese native guy who like to workout in a black fishnet shirt and suspenders And by workout I mean walk around with ILS (imaginary lat syndrome) and not actually do anything. There's another retard (no offense to those actually afflicted with mental limitations) at another gym I go to who really pisses me off... He has the WORST form ever.. and uses WAY too much weight, but only does about an inch of movement... then the little bastard walks around with the most undeserving sense of accomplishment. He always stares at me so I try to avoid eye contact so i'm not associated. Then he asks me for a spot one day, in the more flamboyant lispy voice ever... 2 plates on military press... This jerk couldn't even unrack it by himself.... so he does his first "rep" if you can call it that, and I didn't even see the bar move.. so then on his next one his elbows actually bent a little under the load and the whole thing crashed down on his face scraping all the skin off his nose and pinned him by the throat to the rack... While lifting it off, i managed to bruise the front of my shins badly because he decided to let go of the bar and make me upright row 225lbs. Then I was so livid I had to walk away and anothher guy reemed him out for like 20 minutes about his constant stupidity, and he hasn't been back since.

Sounds like love to me. The first couple of times I worked out at the WG in Van I spent half of the time noticing all of the eye candy strutting around until Dave Hicks pointed it out to me I was being checked out all the time too. He then deflated my ego by letting me know it was the guys checking me out not the girls because a good percentage of the clientel in the gym there are gay. You ever try working out with your sphincter clamped shut so tight your eyes bulge out.

Hey Terry... just because someone looks at you doesn't mean they are going to try and have sex with you. ;D You red neck.

Sounds like some weird stories out there.At our gym here in the Jaw we have this guy that wears a winter coat and sweatpants when he works out ,I guess to sweat and lose weight but he sweats so much he leaves a puddle around every machine he uses and stinks big time.The owners finally had to tell him to clean up after himself or they would kick him out.
