Gym wierdos

[HaNs]

I work out during work hours so need to have my phone

Does your boss know :pfft: or self employed.

Self employed

[severe]

Seeing a guy with dirty dogs on over the top of his beanie (instead of under his beanie and on his ears), shadow boxing and punching the bag was the highlight of my day...

[Beef]

I use my phone, but to write down weights/sets/reps (as well as using it as my music player - iPhone) rather than to text. Find it fills the rest between sets quite nicely and then I'm back into it :nod:

did you buy that iFitness app off the itunes store? that shit is awesome

[Ronin]

What's with the guys that get to the end of their set and feel the need to just let go of the weights? Saw 2 today at my gym, one doing cable crossovers, at the end of each set he'd just let go of the handles and let the stacks crash down. The other was face down on a bench, doing some sort of raises, and would just drop the DBs at the end of his sets. never noticed it before, and these two weren't together or anything.

Fricken annoying. Sure I get being knackered at the end of your set, but still, exercise a little control, huh.

Haha yeah I do have it, but I don't use it. Bit tedious, I find it quicker to just use the basic notepad :pfft:

LM wellington, indian guy asks for a spot tryna wave my attention, mid shoulder press.. cool. im all about helping out. maybe coulda waited for me to finish. anyhow.

Dumbell chest press.

guy specifies 'im doing high repetitions' thick indian accent.

alright man do it already. 10kg?? no disrespect, gotta start somewhere.

dude starts pumping furiously gets to 15, hops up. f's off.

[Old Bull]

That's what happens in Shiney Land they need educating

There's an old lay, she''s about 80 at my gym and she comes in and just sits on the bench then stands up, then suits back down. Does about 4x60 reps then goes home. It dosen't really piss me off it's just weird.

[teamfatboy]

If she's 80 and still going to the gym, that's praiseworthy in itself. Those could probably be counted as box-squats for her!

4 sets of 60 repetitions?

Well for 80 odd years old I think thats pretty damn good.

Don't you?

Of course shes not gonna do a 30 set workout like you lol, come on lets get serious here.

[rose]

240 bodyweight box squats at an advanced age = weird? Dude, seriously :-s If she was doing them in a gimp suit, now that'd be starting to get a little odd, maybe...

[Gym rat]

I also think that as well that is prety darn good for a 80 year old lady for going to the gym even at her age and I say good on her for doing so.

[runveerun]

Nar the stand up sit down things are really hard. I do sets of those standing up on one leg and sitting down again. Try it using one leg with no help from the other one. :nod:

Speaking of which, last week NZ paralympian Kate Horan was training last week, doing SM box squats with 80 kg on the bar, with brilliant form. It was absolutely stunning to watch. Of course, she did have support in the form of her artificial limb, but none of the lower-leg function on one side.

[JoshVC]

Well like I said I'm not dissing her and of course I don't expect her to do a 30set workout, lol. She wears a bright green tracksuit.

dnt be sad bro! most 80 yr olds cant even walk anymore so good on her

[rose]

She wears a bright green tracksuit.

Can you please ask her where she got her tracksuit? I want one :grin:

[Ordy]

I thought he meant it was wierd cause she could just use a chair at home :/

Shes just sitting down and standing up right?

[rose]

Some people like to get out of the house to do stuff, yep even stuff they can do at home. Maybe it's one of the few chances she gets to go anywhere.

[teamfatboy]

Or maybe she wants a toyboy....

But seriously, I'm pretty sure that's one of the reasons the old geezer at my gym comes along... simply to be where other people are.

[rose]

Beats sitting at home rotting into your chair!

[teamfatboy]

For sure - said geezer does give it all he's got, all credit to him. Better to burn out than fade away, eh!

Haven't seen any other wierdos of late tho...
