He does have a point. There always the muppet who works out in full hoodie, beanie and track pants - dressed for winter even though it's the middle of summer and everyone else is dying of heat in just shorts and singlets.

I've never understood it. Are they trying to be gangsta?

many reasons!

a) shy/self concious.. we can be quick to judge people, they may have bad skin condition that flares up when exercising that they're ashamed to show (mine can get pretty bad preferred to stay covered up when was younger though I don't cover it up as idgaf anymore also it just makes it worse that way :|)..

 

b) they might think it has some kind of thermogenic effect. have no idea if that has any validity to it but if people think running when it's hot outside is fatburning exercise then running when it's hot with winter gear on surely has same effect

 

c) they're just wierdo! i think kai greenes reasoning was something about not revealing anything until the final moment when he hits up the stage? doubt everyone who does this is a competitor but they might beleive in something similar lol

you use way more energy running or doing anything in the cold compared to when its warm. just sweat more if its hot

A guy at my gym does this without fail.

Hes only like 18 and he competes also. Im in there shorts and singlet sweeting like a freak and he rocks up looking like hes going to the artic and he will just train in his hoodie and trackpants, hat.

I dont know how he does it, and not sure of his reasoning, i think its got something to do with not showing his physique until he hits the stage. But i dont know.

I wear a light beanie at the gym and occasionally a yellow headband.

I also wear a hoodie.

These are good for collecting sweat- hence I don't bother with a towel.

Afterwards, if I can be bothered, ill twist out the sweat into the shower or just where I get changed.

people who need spotting from the first rep, when doing 8-12 reps. And also why the f*ck does hardly anyone in the gym do a full range of motion squat.

Is there some new craze im missing out on by not doing quarter squats.

yeah 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 squaters are great. I always make a bet with my self when i see a chicken legged mutherfucker load 4 plates a side, on how low he will go. If they have a towel rapped around the bar you know it going to be even higher.

 

Best thing about these guys is when the load it up so riculusly beyond their actual capability that when they decend intlo the movement they are surpised by the weight and get pushed beyond their comfort point. Hopefully they were at least smart enought to squat with safety rails, but on the those rare occassions you see then get staped to the floor. you can usually detect when these occurs are about to happen so as I good citizen I keep myself near by if there isnt already some one there. I have had to pull a few bars off people.

There is this dude who comes to my gym that always stares/staunches people and does every excercise with a twist of his own, eg he does the 1-2 inch bench bounces, when he does incline dumbbell presses he sort of like moves his arms in a cycling motion ...it looks strange, I managed to film him today doing some AMAZING variation to seated cable rows, not sure if I should upload it here or not though

I recently discovered that throughout my training career, I've been overdressed when using the leg press machine.

One rather large guy at my gym has clearly decided he overheats while doing leg presses. Or maybe he finds his tshirt too restrictive. Whatever the reason, he lies back on the leg press and hitches his shirt right up to underneath his armpits. Then he does his set.

This is strange behaviour for anyone, even if they have a superbly ripped midsection that's worthy of showing off. This man does not have such a midsection. Instead he flaunts a large quivering mound of blubber covered in hair and sweat.

For God's sake, dude - please put it away!

Seen this guy benching today, nothing against him or anything it was just funny.

He had a 20 on each side plus five 5kg plates on each side. (Do you even math??) Why not just use a 20 and a 5 or a combination of other plates like a 15 and a 10.

do you find the same thing but in reverse with the easy bar? Like when I do skullcrushers i use 5's up 4 a side. I think 20's just look ridiculus.
