I have seen some people do some dumbass things in the gym.
Usually in the form of.... Young guy wants to show off to his mates, loads up the bench press 100+kg, needs all his mates to lift it off him.

When I first started in the gym I used to use weight clamps to hold the weights on to the smith machine bar

What have you guys seen or done???

The scariest, was when a young lad had 80kg on the bar doing squats, when he had finished he placed teh bar back on the pegs and unloaded the weights.....from one side....no collars..

Bar slowly flipped up as he was walking around to the other side the 20, and 10kg plate on the other end fell to the floor the bar fliped forward, and fell back smashing into the mirror...damm it was loud...

Didnt see him back for quite a while.

I have done that at home, but only with a standard bar. Doesn't seem to be a problem with Olympic size bars.

I have been working out at home for a while, and then I went into the gym and did my barbell biceps curl in front of the mirror. I realised then that my body is completely asymmetrical, I have massive right traps and I found that I was using that muscle to help lift towards the end. Not that embarrassing I guess, but my wife has fallen off the treadmill at the gym :-)

The wankers always make me laugh.
There is one tool I see at the gym.He always talks in this fake
deep voice and talks shite non stop.Just because he owns a copy of
Weiders Training Bible he knows everything and wants everyone to know it.
He has a bit of muscle but not as much as he thinks and there is more fat than beef anyway.
One day he has 110kg loaded up on the bench press (he sruggles with 80) and he is just sitting there looking around.When he thinks no one is looking he lies down and lifts the bar of the holders (what are they called anyway),holds it for a few seconds and drops it back on them with a crash and lets out a battle cry,and then sits up and looks around to see who is checking him out.
Massive flogger!
I have a dozen other stories about him so will add them later.

Yeah I dont understand some guys.
The amount of guys I see come in get all dressed up in gloves, belts etc Do about 5 seconds worth of mid weight lifting then slam the weights to the floor with a grunt, then just stand there or walk around the place for 5 minutes trying to look staunch and giving every one the "Im here to do business" 100 yard stare.
And if some else in the gym is lifting heaveir or is way bigger. they hate it and spend all there time fixated on there "bad techneque" or think that that person is trying to show off.

Part 2
The guy is laughing material the moment he walks in.
A 50 something guy,with a far from perfect body,big guts,wearing a golds gym singlet,bike shorts,boxer boots and bandana carrying a small shopping basket.
In the basket he has a weight belt,gloves,wraps,strapping and supporters of all kinds,a drink shaker,a container of protein powder,a container of supplements, and a notebook and pen.
After about 30 mins of strapping and wrapping he is ready to start his pseudo workout.
I make sure to never make eye contact with him because he will just come over and start talking crap.He is always barging in on other peoples conversation.
Two young guys were talking about meat.In relation to working out or not I have no idea but this is how it went,
Young guy "blah blah meat......."
Wanker runs over "Do you eat meat after a workout?"
YG "Errrrm uhhh yeah"
W "You should.Meat,you know,ahh well meat ummmm,meat is errrrr.....
meat builds muscle"
Tosser!
