It was pretty funny tbh, I have a warped sense of humour and really had to fight back laughing at him. I give him credit for going to the gym with only 1 good leg though. He must have changed gym as I haven't seen him since, unless he just picks different times to go.

i was watching 3 chaps at my gym (UK) id just finished benching, flat, and set myself a new PB. Im alot bigger and heavier than these lads but they dont like to accept it, and im not even considered that big, well im far from big, especially compared to MBIGs pic!!!!!!!!

but yeah, they hopped onto the bench after id finished, and began there so called 'heavy' set of about 70 kilos, lifted bar off, moved it down 2inches so it was still a good 10-12inch above their chest, and pressed it back up again. did this about 6 times each rep like they were setting a new world record. had to laugh. really find it difficult to not tell them how to train correctly, but hey im there to lift and leave my muscles in serious need of protein and repair - couldnt give a toss if they grow or not

I have this kid at my gym who is one of those fake gangster accent white dudes, you know the type. I tried to show him all the proper ways to lift and how to break his days apart. Everytime I showed him I found him the next day doing all the stupid stuff you should not be doing with terrible form. He looks like he's going to huet himself. At least he was doing some thing back then, now he comes into the gym in the AM and sits around and tries to talk to people TILL THE LATE PM! He's not even working out! I just want to grab this kid by his throat and bash his head on the dumbbells! I think his dad drops him off there because the kid is a bum (he's 20) seriously he is there everyday all day doing NOTHING!!!!!!

these are pretty funny. anyways, i hate when guys do workouts you know should be done at home, jump rope, push up, no weight squats!!!!i switched gyms because so many people lack motivation i would rather be alone with my dad working hard trading sets than dealing with this bullshit. lol this skinny ass guy runs around the entire gym doing high knees and waving his arms up and down with some super limp wrists. i cant help but stare him down every time i see him.

Some great stories here. I always wonder with these mirror boys how they ever got big in the first place. They dont exactly spend much time on the weights.

I once fell flat on my face infront of everyone. I was doin seated squats and really pushing myself. Pushed myself to exhaustion. Stood up took a few steps to walk away then my legs just gave way and couldnt support my weight and i fell in a heap on the floor. Felt a bit stupid i can tell you. One other time about 10 yrs ago when i was a lightweight i had a similar experience doing bench press/tricep work. Pushed my tri's so hard that when i left the gym i tried to push the swinging door open, my tri's gave way and i headbutted the door. Again looking like a total moron.

OK I got one. There's this one guy at my gym I swear all he ever does are bi's.... He loves walking over to the rack, grabbing 25's and blast out a set to failure until the pump hits then it's a walk around the gym to see what chicks are there. Really dude??? common go home... Every time I see him i go inthe opposite direction i don't wanna hear about your "Hook ups"....
