I love that! I'm 19, and I see these middle age men bench pressing like 95 pounds, then I go on there and load it up with 175lbs. I'm not saying I'm Superman or anything, but it's funny to see them scoff at me as if I don't know what I'm doing, then see them get pissed when I bench it with good form and everything.

lol my mate tells me of this guy that goes to a different gym that I do.

He is in his 30's, average built, probably just goes to the gym once a week to keep fit, anyway....

You know those swiss balls?

He sits on one of them, puts his hands on his head as if he is trying to concentrate/read your mind and moves his head left 1 inch and back again.

He does 20+ of these then does it again but turning his head right....for 1 inch...

Why? lol

betsie2k I would like to think he does it as some kind of meditation, but the sad truth is, he probably thinks he is working his abs - somehow.

i saw this russian guy walk around and train with rain clothes, im always impressed by the east europeans ability to be ghetto

Just a general observation - the way I've seen women and men train, the former can run marathons, but can't open a jar; and the latter can tear phone books in half, but have a difficult time running around the block a few times.

I can do both stingo. and im a guy. Something I find hilarious is women on about multi-tasking. Most of them can't and it's generally guys that can.

Lol, it would only be multi tasking if you were doing the two things at the same time. How many marathons have you run while tearing phone books in half?

So driving into the office in the morning while talking on the phone, drinking a cup of coffee, and putting on mascara isn't multitasking? : )

Do you drive through the window then?

sat at the gym.. i was doing my HIIT on the elliptical and this personal trainer had just finished up a session with a client and walked her over to the elliptical right next to me. the trainer showed her how to use the machine, put it on the easiest setting (it was obvious that it was the ladys first time in the gym) and instructed her to do 15 minutes. the trainer then walked off and as soon as she was around the corner, the lady got off of the elliptical and left.. (after about 1 min 20 sec of exercise)
the trainer came back a couple of minutes later and was looking around like she was confused about what she had told the client. haha

Thats funny.

YouTube - funny weight lifting accident Compilation

Wow this thread kept me entertained for a good hour...no joke. Yeah I have plenty of hours to kill while at work. Well..."not" at work I guess. I've been to my share of gyms up and down the coast in Cali. I have a few stories to tell.

I'm on the bike, spinning like crazy and rocking out to my music, when I start hearing a weird overtone of moaning. For a minute I think it might be the background of the song I'm listening to but it continued on into the next and seemed to get louder and louder. I turn down my ipod and the moaning is obviously comming from the woman behind me on the eliptical. She looked and sounded like she was having an orgasm right there on the machine. I mean full force moaning/screaming/growling. Her eyes were closed and her face kinda turned up toward the ceiling. I start kinda laughing and look around to see what everyone else thinks. No one is even batting an eye!
She continued her orgasm for a full 20 minutes.

I used to go to Powerhouse Gym in Chatsworth, one of my favorites, and one day I was doing some calf lifts. I'm smaller so I was having a hard time adjusting the machine to my height. Some guy comes up and says "here let me help you." I turn around and come face to face with "The Rock"...well he introduced himself at Dwayne. So hot! : ) He was post-wrestling and pre-movies so he was still pretty freakin big. He proceeded to help me with my calf workout. I totally worked out with the rock...lol

i know this is random,but talking about old dudes in the mens locker room. i think it was so gross seeing this butt naked dude,bent over the sink area,looking in the mirror at his face. *gag* and then i had to wash my hands after him =( it was pretty gross just knowing dusty balls had his junk on the sink.

i saw this one guy "bench pressig" on the ground with a barbell. as you know, your elbows come down to the floor at the bottom of the exercise. the thing is, the weight was too heavy for him to rep and while he was lowering the weight, his elbows hit the ground too hard and he lost control of the weight. he was still holding on to the barbell, but it started to fall towards his head and he wasnt strong enough to stop it. lol so it JUST misses his head when it falls and his face was priceless.
