Funny Things You see at the Gym

My recent favorite is people doing elaborate supersets in my small gym. Recently, if they’re doing it with something I wanna use I’ll tell them I’m working in or I’ll just start using it.

The other day a kid set his phone down next to a cable machine and started using the stairmaster? And the phone was open with tik toks playing. I guess he works out to the sweet sound of tik toks in his headphones?

I’m not an arrogant person but I can say with certainty my workout is more important than this individuals cable pulley stairmaster superset (?????). So I just started using the cable and he came and collected his phone and fucked off.
 
Not funny but more cringe: there's a kid who likes "showing off" in front of his girlfriend by deliberately dropping the bar after each set of squats and letting it hit the safety pins. All that while doing... 150lbs. Then he proceeds to tell her how he has to do it because his sets are just SO intense that he doesn't have the strength to walk back and rerack the weight
 
Lady on the stationary bike next to me today. She was singing to the music her ear buds were playing ...sweet baby Jesus! She was so bad it should been an f'ing crime! Pretty sure my ears started bleeding sometime during the cardio session.
 
I don’t care what anyone says but; a white guy can get too tan! To me it just looks funny when you know you’re looking at a white dude but he’s soo tan he looks like a piece of beef jerky lol. Saw a guy like this yesterday. I was hoping he would workout next to the other white guy, Mr almost albino lmao.

Look George Hamilton dead in the eyes and say that again. I dare you.

I didn’t actually *see* the funny thing happen, but when I sat down at the cable row machine, I found eight (8) add-on 2.5 pound weights on the floor next to it. My best guess is that somebody didn’t know how to use the stack pin and just kept putting more of those on top instead…? I don’t know, it’s a mystery and it keeps me up at night sometimes.

I bought some Melanotan 2 and was going to use it, but I’m naturally fairly golden brown, and when it came time to pin, I got afraid I’d end up getting canceled for blackface. Or deported. (Pick whichever joke works best for your political leanings.)
 
Three skinny as hell kids (16 maybe) taking turns videoing each other as they do a light shoulder exercise then take pictures attempting to flex tri's...heavy on the attempting...high fiving after. I think its great they are working out but get some muscle built up before you flex it. Guess I really am a grumpy old man anymore.

You should have offered to take a pic of all three of them, but then secretly took a selfie of you flexing.
 
I thought everyone knew you have to do squats barefoot.
I haven’t gotten around to ordering flat sole shoes yet so I just kick em off during my sets and squat in my socks. Full disclosure I’m usually coming off my 24hr shift so I’m in full comfy mode when I get in lol. Way too tired to care.
