What's the weirdest thing you've seen in a gym?

What's the weirdest thing you've seen in a gym?
I'm not sure if it's the weirdest thing I've seen, but there was a 15y/o deadlifting 1pl8 with boxing gloves on in the middle of the gym today

Attached: average gym experience.jpg (1800x934, 793K)

there's this old dude that always does a stretching routine (in the only good place to deadlift) which involves standing on 1 foot and leaning forward with his arms out like he's an airplane. There's also this old indian lady that bollywood dances in front of the mirror (same spot) before doing 80% bw assisted dips

I almost want to tell you that you should have explained to him why that's stupid before he hurts himself.

But you were probably wise to walk away.

Is she any good?

>people doing hip thrusts
>people leg pressing in the smith machine
>people using the squatting machine facing the backrest with their face squished on the pillow
>3 guys doing lat raises in perfect unison like some flock of weird gym birds
>a guy putting those tiny chrome dumbbells on one of those taller box jump boxes and then doing handstand push-ups and levers on them

Last one was impressive but man there are easier ways to go to snap city

a tall muscular asian guy

I fucking swear, I thought I was hallucinating

Maybe not the weirdest, just a common thing that I see.

Gym thots not adjusting the squat rack safeties, they just unrack the bar and squat outside of the "safe zone".

The safeties are removable anyway, so there's really no reason to go all the way to the middle of the gym with the bar on your back.

There's always a reason to be attention hungry and vain. Better mobility to go do half squats near whomever they want to look at them.

>giant 6'7" 315 bear mode fellow HATES resolutioners and those kids that show up a week before spring break to get yoked
>every year during those times he does ridiculous shit just to get those people to follow and look stupid
>exploits include: using the recumbent bike with an ez-curl bar with 4 tiny 2.5 weights on it held above his head, curling 5lb dumbbells furiously fast while doing max weight hamstring curls, and doing reverse cable flies using lat pull bars instead of regular handles

It was always fun to see the new people mimic him for weeks until they fizzled out. I miss my uni gym.

a fat guy who likes using the bench as a table for dumbells and ez bars

what's weird about hip thrusts?

>Go to my apartment gym a little later than usual
>Not super late, but it's like 9 pm on a Thursday
>Only one other guy there
>Built like he was born on a low gravity world
>Spends most of the time standing in front of the mirror with him eyes closed holding the 5lbs dumbbells
>About every minute he'll do a calf raise
>Doesn't make any sound when he moves

>college gym
>waiting for squat rack
>few feet away there's a literal circle of 5 or 6 dudes holding 45 lb plates and doing these weird 45° presses from their chest out
>it's like some weird lifting circlejerk

One time a guy lifting at the rack next to me kept making whale noises. Gotta sound big to get big!

>old lady who always worked out in a floral shirt and white Gardening gloves
>Indian weirdo who would take all the 5 lb kettle bells and the tallest jump box into the heavy bag room, close the doors and sit on the box in the dark just swaying his feet back and forth
>two boomers “training” their dyel 15 year old sons by having the literally flop on the the ole platform in pain like autistic jumping beans

Once I walked in on this ripped Chinese Manlet making autistic naked anime poses while in the locker room alone.

A lot more weird shit that I didn’t feel like writing.

I see people working arms with ridiculously tight weight belts every day... other than that nothing too silly

oh shit, I forgot another guy.
This guy has some sort of genetic condition where he can only barely use his legs. His legs are ridiculously atrophied and so short that his arms go down below his knees. He spends the entire time in the gym doing dumbbell work and climbing around on the pull up bar.

You might have encountered a ghost.

He was wearing all white and spoke in an incoherent mumble, so maybe.

I saw a girl in the smith machine lying face down on a bench, lifting/pressing the barbell with the soles of her feet

I’m sill very confused

This airplane move is a balance conditioning move. It is used in many disciplines to train balance including many martial arts. Benny Rodriguez has it listed as such in his book on fighting.

a guy who looks like Walter white from breaking bad doing rows. I'm not even joking guy looks like Walter white

>that weird polish guy who constantly spits in the trashcans
>Those two guys who dance to the music on their headphones between sets. Fucking two of them
> Those middle aged guys who do ab stuff in the weight room blocking the way through when we clearly have another room for ab stuff

> All the thots doing meme exercises all over

> That old ching chong lady who just walks around the gym with hands on her back and hips pushed forwards

> Those two hot older milfs with abs

Also
> All those hot younger milfs who go to the gym after work and drop their kids at the gym daycare and actually seem fairly serious about working out, and a few have pretty impressive physiques

Have been only a month so haven't really seen much but.
>gym thots doing a few sets on the smith machine and leaving (sometimes they come back after like an hour)
>group of zoomers, 3-5 in size, standing around a machine talking shit while one does the movement in turns
>strong looking people deadlifting baby weights (every over 30yo and older woman in the gym does the monkey bars at least once a workout

God damn it where do they see this?

I've encountered this 3x with 3 different females. 1 took it further and did it turned 180 so the hooks only locked if her toes touched her shins.

But that ass was plump and on full display. I'm pretty sure she was watching the watchmen via the mirrors.

Yo! You at the CL Y!?!

A guy flat benching with his feet up, while strapped to the fucking bar. No wrist wraps, just lifting straps.
Ramped up to 285 for a double, then went on to doing dumbell inclines with 65s, ONE HAND AT A TIME, alternating left and right.

Guy has the weirdest chest day I've ever seen. It's amusing to watch, but somehow works for him.

no

Nothing particularly weird in current gym (last one was worse) but there's one guy who only does two kinds of workouts, alternating them every day with apparently no rest days:
>A: half hour long shoulder mobility routine with bands dowel foam roller, then 3x10 on the shoulder press machine with 20kg
>B: 30min. elliptical, then 50ish smith machine bench reps with 35kg, but like SUPERFAST reps, he takes for this megaset what I'd take for 10 with normal tempo. Bonus: one time some oldfag playfully goaded him into trying slower reps to full rom, he collapsed after 12 kek

I like this guy, I really do

Oh, I have a Walter white that does machine rows for 40+ minutes going super slow with sub 100 lbs usually watching something on his phone and burping hella loud.

lol weird. my guy does cardio too. I feel like he's making meth equations while checking his phone

Not the weirdest, but worthy of a green text

>35 year old boomer, white, always wears the same tank top, in decent shape
>smells worse than the uncleaned locker room toilets
>his entire workout is an hour and 30 minutes of cheating skull crushers
>does skull crushers like an absolute retard, back arched, ass flies off the bench, elbows go further back than they are suppose to
>paces back and forth between sets, stares down people who walk by him
>meanwhile, he smells so bad, you cannot use a bench within 10 feet of him
>people have begun to avoid him, he has the entire corner to of the gym to himself
>friends and I start calling him Stinky Skull Crusher

that actually does have some glute activation benefits, although it's still one of the most memey ways to go about it

Idk about weird, but the most wtf moment was

>guy maybe in his mid 30shas a jansport backpack
>goes over to the recumbant bikes and get on the one closets to power outlet
>bikes face large windows with view to trees and parking lot
>unzips backpack
>pulls out a fucking drip coffee maker
>its a small 3 or 4 cup one, but still
>plugs it in and pours in water from fountain
>turns it on and walks around for a minute
>coffees done, pulls out a might and pours.
>gets on bike, starts
>slurps it ridiculously loud and smacks his lips after EACH sip with a fairly loud 'ahhh' or 'that's some good brew'
>stops the bike after each cup and pours another
>does this til its gone
>unplugs, packs up and leaves.

I only see him on Monday mornings between 8 and 11

Its crazy

Mine I overhear from time to time talking about 'how enjoyable the steam room/sauna is gonna be afterwards'

But its like he gives off this vibe like he jerks off or gets jerked off or something while in their.

Thots using the assisted dip machine for leg presses.
Old guy trying to impress me with 50 chin up with a quarter ROM and kicking.
Guy grunting loud af for every rep, every set, every exercise, at baby weights, and also reeked of oregano.
The first time I saw hip thrusts I thought it was a meme exercise and a guy was doing it. Now every chick does them.
2 guys assisting a chick doing presses on the smith machine.
People who incline the treadmill and then grab the bar to pull themselves along.
Old creepy black dude getting way too close and obviously leering at everyone. Only stopped after I literally stared at him.
Fatties in the dance room sitting on their asses while one person dances.

You saw a neet from Jow Forums

A fucking loser looking at the mirror lmao
