the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

OK, Day 2 of said athletic guy showing his workmate a workout, starts off with 1/4 rep squats on the smith machine, followed but walking 1/2 lunges, then i lost interest so dont know what they did from then on, but it was one of the first times i have see him "train" legs
 
Saw some chick pull off all the weight of one side of the squat stands and make the other side come smashing down...

Ow wait that was my girlfriend... I now have a chip out of my 25kg plate and a big indent in my gym floor..
 
I dont have a great deal of time between sets, just enough time to walk to my bag write down the reps or exercises, have a sip or water or wipe the sweat away and then onto the next set or exercise, but thats enough to notice some of this stuff going on especially in agym with not many people.
 
Must say that I use to train the odd lunchtime in Sydney CBD and totally hate the guys who are working on the benches,finish a set stand up grab there phone and then text, Facebook talk for 5 mins then do another set. Do they come to the gym to train or work. Main reason why I stopped going during the day, too many knobs running around with phones attached to there heads. Rant over ! Thank you.

How much weight was on the one side of the stand for that to happen? One time I had just 65kg of plates on one side and the bar started to rise on the other side so I just managed to slam my hand on it to stop it from launching lol.
 
A positive one for a change..

Saw some new equipment that the new gym owners have bought. Also heard them talking about a new rack, lifting platform, bars and bumpers that they are getting.

Not such an issue with bench but I find I need that kind of time to rest in between squat sets to ensure I can complete the next without struggling.

What's wrong with choosing to entertain yourself rather than just starting at nothing for five minutes?
 
Guy doing seated DB shoulder presses but when he brought the DB's down proceeded to bring his elbows together at the front (like you would on a pec-dec) then back and into another press (repeated over and over).
 
Today I saw a girl in a Fitness First shirt. She saw me in my TNMT shirt.

Her: "I like your shirt."
Me: "Thanks. I don't like yours."

Thus concludes another episode of Picking Up Chicks with Ryan.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt? :confused:
 
Me dead lifting 195kg:)

It's not much for some here, but it's a new PB for me:)

Also saw a snake in my gym this morning.....and that's not code for anything, an actual snake, it's under the house somewhere now:(

EDIT:

Grabbed some photos of it, don't think it was a poisonous one, the last one we had was a eastern brown, the second most venomous snake in the world, was too bust to try not to get bitten to get photos of that one...but this one did not seem to be to concerned by the snake deterrent that is still working, was around a meter long...the joys of country living.
