when people do full-body bicep curls.

I'm imagining people who sort of swing the weight into a curl rather than a real bicep curl?

Heheheh.

Oh, like you haven't caught yourself doing it once or twice at the end of hard sets. Come on now.

The variety of grunts I hear at the gym.

Most people make short barks, but the guys who hiss like they're leaking air are funny.

I swear to god, one guy was making a sound like Colossus from the X-Men arcade game "UUUAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

My lifting partner farted in the gym, and these two guys walk over, one sits on the leg press for about half a second, then they both recoil in horror, disgusted looks on their faces, and they both just politely walk away, but we could hear one turn to the other and say "That was strong."

no no, you don't understand, i'm not talking about someone doing a forced rep and leaning their back a little to get the last rep of curls in. i'm talking about people who, from teh start of the set, bend their knees then thrust upward with their back and curl the barbell with their arm. ad nauseum.

THAT is a full-body bicep curl.

This woman (in her 50s) caused a scene the other day at the Y because apparently she had brought what I assume is her grandkid and his friends to the weight room.
The rules are that: no one under 11 is allowed in, 11-14 year olds HAVE to be accompanied by an adult, and 15-17 have to go through an orientation to workout by themselves. After 18, you can do whatever the fuck.
Anyways, these boys were 13, and since the woman had dropped them off rather accompany them, they had to leave. The woman freaked out and was like "WHAT AM I?! A CHILD?!" and the administrator was like "No, but you can't just claim guardianship and drop them off. You have to stay with them."
This went on and they had to escort the woman out. I had practically front row seats since it happened next to my treadmill...

There's a guy I've observed at the gym who's pushups involve his elbows bending maybe 10 degrees and his head moving like crazy. Hit situps practically throws his entire body off the floor. So much for slow, controlled movements.

On the lat pull down machine, his entire body comes off the seat about a good 2 feet. It's rather hilarious to watch.

I once saw a guy walk in and do nothing but fucking biceps for an hour. He just went from barbell to barbell, to cables, to barbells doing nothing but motherfucking bicep curls.

OH SHIT ME HERE.

I forgot. Once I was at the gym and this asian dude is fucking around with this 20lbs barbell.

Just fucking spinning it around with one arm in some fucked up position like he's in a martial arts movie and randomly doing lunges at the same time.

I had to prevent massive lols to save myself from dropping my own barbell.

When some big guy shows up at the gym and starts curling the same weight I use to bench press and I feel inferior

This isn't SO bad, but when I see people in my mini-condo-gym work out like they're just going through the motions. Not using enough weight to even tax them slightly and doing, like, 15 second sets (of 10 reps).

Also, there's this one woman who does the elliptical. She's thin and healthy, but she does that fucking thing so hard that she's GASPING for air the whole time and saying "oh god" between her short, labored breaths. I almost want to tell her to slow down so she doesn't rupture a ventricle or something, but it is just too funny to listen to it...

The funniest/weirdest thing I remember was when a woman who was about 50 years old came in and went on the cross-trainer. She was wearing a floral evening blouse and velvet trousers.

I think we share a gym.

Also, the guy with the disorder that sweats so much. Give him fifteen seconds on a treadmill and he is DRENCHED. Like, droplets falling off EVERYWHERE. Trying to walk past him is like having a WAVE break over your head.

AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE. I don't WANT to know how bad it gets.

There's a guy at the gym I visit I simply called, "Most unnaturally smelling man ever" as he reeks of moldy cheese and sweaty feet. And this is before he starts cardio.

The U of H gym has an indoor track I use a lot, and it always cracks me up at how many people just have straight up BAD running form.

Remember that some may have blemishes and are quite insecure. But if you mean full makeup with lipstick and eyeliner and all that trash then I guess that's silly.

I know it's a fairly hilarious amount of weight to be working with but shouldn't they be more focused on bulking before cutting anyway? They need a higher base metabolic rate from the muscle they develop so that they can cut fat easier.

Also, today I went into a Gym to see about hiring a personal trainer to assist me with a program (I've got a rated 40% disability, feet/knees/back) so many guys with huge arms but nothing else to show for it. Absolutely hilarious looking.

That's my issue. I know my arms are immaculate (not being pretentious), but my chest and back need more development to even things out. I'm sure I look like a tool.

People who walk into the gym after school (not underage b&, turned 18 a few months ago) and make a big fuss with their friends over how much they can bench or curl.

And then one of our guys from the gymnastics team starts to do pushups, and doesn't stop for 5 minutes, shuts them all right up.

You're both idiots. Well, at least the first and third guy is an idiot.
5x60=300 seconds. The same amount of supposed pushups he did. So you're telling me he did 'not literally' do pushups for 5 minutes, but did 300 pushups. That means he did 300 pushups each under one second each. Right.

I saw some blind guy who was new to the gym I go to using some machines backwards, it pissed me off because at my gym they usually have about 20 or so"trainers" just standing around with apparently nothing to do. A few people helped him out Including myself, but that was only after he dropped a 20 lbs. weight on his foot.

I went to the community college gym a few times. There was a guy there that would set the machines so high that his mouth looked like it was breaking open on every rep. His face would turn bright red and his jaws would bend away from each other. They looked like this: )(

The machines were really old too. The lat pull down machine didn't have a lap bar, and it would give me a negative stroke more than my body weight and lift me out of the seat. I would start doing pull ups and then the guy in charge would yell at me.

There is a psycho at my gym. Always walking up to everyone and trying to start conversation.
Anyways, once he went to the lat machine, alone, sat down, put the cowl over his head and said "GO!", pulled it once, stood up and said "Ok guys, I'm done" with no one around him.

Also I love when there are women in the gym cause all the guys are suddenly around them, make stupid jokes and try to turn them on. That is pure gold for me. :D

this real frail looking 45-ish woman came to the Y last week in tight mom jeans, full makeup, a t shirt with a sparkly butterfly on it like she got it from her 13 year old daughter, and some naturalizer loafers. She did weight machines the whole time, but really light and like 5 reps and moved on to the next thing. i was like wtf is she here for? I couldn't tell if she was serious or trying to look hot and failing or what.
