The Definitive Gym Weenie List

Just to add a few more -

You wear the same workout gear for each and every session

Your vest has Golds Gym on the front

Said vest is ripped around the edges (cos your so huge and pumped after sessions its ripped like the Hulk does to his shirts!)

You ask a person doing a ‘power clean what does that do then? I have never used them and I can bench 150kilos.’

You have a shaven head and tattoos - cos thats the look!

You ask any half decent looking girl if they need a spotter for their bum and tum exercises

You leave your mark on the gym every time you leave - a complete mess!

Your idea of full range of motion is anything that requires the joint to move from being locked out and then back again

You wear a belt for every exercise and advocate them especially for good mornings - yes I have actually heard this said!

Said belf isnt even fastened toght and wear wears it cos he is in a gym and has seen other meat heads wearing them

You pick up extra ordinarily large dumbells and attempt some sort of distorted movement with them which results in large amounts of pain, but claim your back and knees wont take squatting!

You start and finish your bench with 135,just so you can use the big plates.

Guys wear singlet that that are 5 sizes to big and track bottoms all the time even in 40C heat (110 F).

DW I wear gloves. It is not good for me to shake clients hands with callouses.

Hee Hee,

My favorite is always the guy who should be working with 150lbs repping 225lbs using an anguished 8inch ROM.

Quick Story:

yesterday I witnessed a guy spend about 20min improvising his own apparatus (a bench from which he could perform a bent row) using a decline bench, a wood box and about 18 plates of different sizes to get the angles just right. The big payoff came when he managed to climb on board this thing, get in position and smash the first attempted rep off of the support bar under the decline (suprise!) which permitted him almost zero room to pull the weight (20 min!!). I was not suprised to look closer and see he was using a 45lb bar with 5lb plates.

Anyway, its a student gym so nothing ever suprises me anymore.

A few of my favorites (From Dr Squat)

Your neck, ankles, calves and biceps are all the same size…

You get out of your car slumped over, shuffle your feet, until within sight of the treadmill window, then you walk with a PLS (permanent lat spread).

You can press 1500 lbs on the leg press but only squat 185 lbs to parallel with free weights.

You get upset when people are squatting in the power rack, which prevents you from doing your bicep curls.

My favorite weenies are the guys doing squats and deads and any other weight exercise on swiss balls.

One of the worst things I have seen is what I call the spinal destroyer.

completely straight legged stiff leg deadlift with fully rounded back and slamming the weights to the floor as hard as you can before ripping it back up to the starting position.
OUCH!!

You use one of those cushion things for your shoulders when squatting 40kg.

Apologizes, ( B. Johson )
yestarday i watched for the 10th time the movie Rocky IV Russian Battle( Sly X Dolph Lundgreen. ).
And always that i saw Apollo Creed Coaches i thought that he looks like Ben, not Apollo but his coach, with those big and white eyes,
don´t you think ?
I don´t know the name of the actor…even if he runs fast…

great lists guys.

we have a guy at our gym we call ‘no gain’ been coming forever consistently, and hasn’t made any gains in 3 years!

oh and for those interested, saw joanne molar in the gym the other day!

she told me she’s back in training. amazing what 5-6 hours of training per day does to the body. not a drop of fat! After seeing her i was set for the day. :smiley:

We have a guy like that…we called him “captain catabolic.” :smiley:

Any one who uses cross bow or bow flex.

Wait…can girls be gym weenies?

Because if so…

  1. 90 lb skeletons who are on the treadmill when you walked into the gym and are still there 90 min later when you are walking out.

  2. Pudgy girl doing Bicep curls 3 x 20 with 4lbs as “want toned muscles not big muscles”–good use of gym time! Failing to notice that the fit girls with “tone” are in the corner doing squats.

  3. 90% of Aerobics instructors… I am just not going to finish this sentence. Why girls do not do a complete 180 when they walk into class and look at the “instructor” I have no idea.

P

  1. You use the t-bar row to do a kind of dead lift, claiming it works your hamstring and bum.

  2. You are able to come up with 57 different arm and shoulder exercises using the cable cross over machine

  3. You do shoulder shrugs using the smith machine

  4. You do squats using the smith machine

  5. You spend 15mins setting up a decline bench press on the smith machine

  6. Stretching involves swinging your arms around a few times between the door and the dumbells

  7. You fix your hair inbetween reps while posing in front of the mirror

  8. You can bench more than you squat

  9. You are the master at beach (or wanker) weights - arms, chest

  10. You swear that everyone else in the gym doesnt know what they are doing and your way is best

You may qualify if you spend an inordinate amout of time watching these activities instead of working out yourself.

That is the best one so far.

My gym is getting better I spotted some of those chains on the ground today. They actually left them for all of us to use. Next time for me.

Charlie = the winner.

I’ve seen a couple of Indian guys in my gym who do really heavy quarter squats with minimal range of motion, but I don’t really think they’re weenies - at least they’re working hard.

The biggest gym weenies in my opinion are people who go to the gym and don’t push themselves to make progress.

Now that is true!

  • Too many machos thinking they’re lifting weights the right way.
  • Personal trainers don’t know what they’re doing. You wonder where they they learn stuff from?
  • Who wants to see machos on steriods wearing spandex shorts?
  • Idiots interrupting me in the middle of the workout so I can ‘spot’ them.This happened the other day when I was doing dynamic bench…
  • Belts for every single exercise including abs…
  • Smith machine… Only idiots would attempt 315lbs squat on smith machines…
  • 99% of gym/fitness owners thinks their new machines are the best ever built… Sad fact was that the free weights are still the best and will always be.
  • Those group exercises… I don’t get it. I mean 45 mins of abs???
  • Girls scared to use anything more than 5lbs.
  • I’ve yet to see ANYONE do full squat the right way. Same thing for deadlift.
  • I get confused looks from others when I do box squats. Same thing for off the pins bench press (Westside methods)
  • Powerlift/oly mat… some idiots doing curls on it, putting bench on it and doing DB benches, and other non PL/OL exercises.
  • No PL/OL mat in 99.9% of places.

I think i’m done. I’m sure there’s plently more…

You have huge biceps, but can barely squat 60kgs and have to grunt really loud so the whole gym can hear you to do it!
