    There is a woman at my gym who is constantly sweating her ass off working hard, but looks like shit and refuses to use any machine the correct way. It's very amusing to watch. For example we have a weighted sled with harness and a track to run it on, but she insists on somehow tying the cable machine to her waist and then crawling along the ground in front of it instead getting in everyone's way.

      Every gym has a few of these busy idiots. The funny thing is, they are there consistently and look like they are working hard, but they are always doing some Mickey Mouse workouts, and they got the most oddly shaped physiques that never improve.

      What’s also funny is, they are so confident in what they are doing too. On one hand I want to give these people pointers on how to properly use machines and such, on the other I feel like they’re the uncoachable types that insist they are doing it correctly and they are hitting muscles in a way most normies wouldn’t get.

    there was a down syndrome guy who was in his 50s who would come to the gym. after every workout he'd flush his workout gear down the toilet then go and tell the staff the toilet was blocked. he'd stand at the desk until the staff member brought his workout gear back to him, soaking wet in toilet water, in a plastic bag.

          Routine?

          I'm still a fatass in a lot of ways so I'm trying to curb it, I've been drinking nothing but low calorie drinks/mainly water for about a month now and keeping anything artificial and (almost) all xenoestrogens out of my system. Its extremely difficult because of how everything is designed and packaged but I'm doing my best.
          I eat standard calories, probably around 1500-2000 a day, and do extensive workouts on everything, every day of the week except Sunday. I sometimes mix it up and do one or the other if they work the same kind of muscle, but my pool of workouts is
          Dumbell Chest Press and/or Chest Press Machine 3x10-12
          dumbell shoulder lifts, 3x15
          Bicep Curls with dumbells, 3x20
          Hammer Curls with dumbells x15
          Bent Rowing curls with dumbells 3x15
          Longpull machine 3x10
          Assisted Pullups 2x5, 1 set with hands positioned horizontally, 1 set with hands positioned vertiacally
          Sumo Squats with 1 dumbell held in both hands 3x10
          3x25 situps
          3x20 pushups
          45-50 minutes of treadmill, at a heavy speedwalk/light jog partly to burn off fat, and partly to practice chasing people and endurance jogging

              I'm almost 100% sure he's copying the workout from the book word for word. The author intentionally made it a moronicly bad workout, because a guy like Bateman is extremely superficial and incapable of having a deep enough interest in most things to understand them. He just does random shit to fit in.

    From recent memory I switched to mornings two weeks ago and this old dude and his fat dyel thread asked me to be an extra spot right when I was about to start my lifts. I had to do it to be nice and everyone in the midwest is passive aggressive. I had a woman install these weird ass robe blanket circus things on the pull machines? It was a weird thing and I only saw her twice. I had a guy do a couple of pull ups on the squat rack I was using and it look liked I was clearly using it. The millennial roid ragers have these huge ass bags of junk and they spread it around the deadlifting plank during their sessions, ive been lifting for a year and I have never brought anything extra besides a water bottle. My last week before I switched to mornings, a roid rager was moaning like a moronic dog getting euthanized doing the most basic workouts.

    The only two things that come to mind are the following:
    >multiple people doing barbell rows with mixed grip
    >a guy doing RDLs with both hands suppinated
    I do not understand what led to both of these things. Why on earth would you mix grip barbell rows? Are you specifically trying to get a muscle imbalance? For double underhand grip on deadlift (variations) are you purposely trying to tear both biceps at once? Yes, all people involved were dyels.

    Barbell flat benching on a yoga ball in the power rack. The yoga ball looked worn down as hell and probably only had a 250 lb weight limit to begin with.
    Didn't stop some moronic Black person in the gym from doing all this without safeties.

    It's been a month since seeing that, and I recently noticed the ball has vanished. So I can only assume the best case scenario has happened.

        This. I was almost killed once because it was unstable, I was doing deadlifts next to it and some fricker took a 10kg plate. The entire machine flipped to the side and almost crushed me, I decided not to sue back them but frick, I sometimes wish I did.

    There's this guy I see fairly often that is ALWAYS doing some giant circuit thing. The weirdest thing is his bench press. When he brings the bar down to his chest he simultaneously does an extremely aggressive hip thrust, then when he pushes the bar up he violently brings his hips back down onto the bench. Does sets of 8-10 in like 4 seconds doing this (I've never seen him do more than 155lbs). The thing is he does this with barbell bench AND dumbbell bench. As part of his circuit he'll grab a decently heavy dumbbell and do side lunges for sets of a million, put the dumbbell down, then disappear for like 15 minutes before coming back. This dumbbell is then just sitting in the middle of the floor where people have to walk, he doesn't do this shit in an area with space, it's always directly behind someone that's on a bench.
