This thread is basically a Gym realted version of the other thread named similar.
Come in hear and vent about something at gym that has p***ed you off/bugged you/annoyed you.
To get it started.
Was at gym last night doing my usual thing, when i overhear these two blokes chatting. (seen these two douches at gym before)
Conversation follows something like this.
Bloke 1: Brah, we totally just need to build on our strength, lets just grab a massive weight and lift 6 reps.
Bloke 2: F*** yeah bro, lets get massive.
Bloke 1: Dude, dont know what my limit is now, oh well dont matter.
I then turned to watch bloke 1, he picked up 30kg dumbells walked over to an upright bench and proceeded to pull off the worst set of 6 dumbell shoulder presses i have ever seen.
1. He swung the weights up in a bicep curl manner in the air, then sat down quickly so they stayed where they were, meaning he ended up under them.
2. The weight was so heavy his freind feebly attempted to hold them whilst he got set up. meaning the weight were swaying everywhere
3. Again becasue the weight was too heavy he was getting spotted for all 6 reps.
4. His back was bending side to side as each arm struggled to lift the weight unevenly i.e. left hand went higher then, right hand went higher, the left went higher and so on and so on.
5. His hand had slid to the inner side of the dumbell grip meaning the weight were falling outward.
6. once finished the world worst 6 reps, he proceeded to throw the dumbells to the floor.
After watching all this, in my mind thinking "please drop down to a lower weight" HE proceeded to do anotyher set, this time with 35kg dumbells.
My point, It's a good feeling to be the guy to lifting big weights, but not when you look like an absolute fool whilst doing it.
