As the title says, wanted to see what the dumbest / funniest / silliest things you've been asked or have heard in the gym before :)

The funniest i remember was a guy who is a Pharmacist asked me, "Hey whats that?" I said "Its my protein shake.." He goes "Does it have steroids in it?!" I said...."no course not!"

If that wasn't bad enough, he asked me If my protein shake works. I was thinking what kinda dumb question is that lol.

Whats the funniest thing you've heard or been asked in the gym before. Lets hear some stories...

"Are you using this?" when I'm clearly on another machine or bench.... I don't mind though, because they're just being generous and respecting my general area, lol.

"Are u using the 17.5s" doesnt sound bad, until you factor in that I was on the bench pressing them at the time....

ahahahahaha.. some of these are hillarious.

Case 1, a noob back from uni days decides to workout with me.
After the workout...
Him: why are you mixing milo with water?
Me: This isn't milo, it's a protein shake
Him: Why do you need that much energy after a workout, why not before.
Me(in my head): ........ (*what an idiot, doesn't even know the function of protein*)
Me: Because i'm tired, and I need the energy to feel active

Lol. I get that question all the time. My response? Next time I see the person eating a sandwich, I ask him wether or not his sandwich works.

There's three things that come to mind.

1) Why are you using squats? Leg presses work the back of your legs and the front of your legs, that's why you can leg press more.

My answer:- That's not true. You can leg press more because you're supplemented to the seat pressing the external load over 45 degrees which factors in half the gravity in comparison to a squat, leg presses are quad dominant and are a MACHINE which allows your body to work only in a single plane of motion. The squat works the sagital plane significantly and overloads various muscle groups, it is considered the king of mass building exercises and causes testosterone and GH production in the body. If you're not satisfied with your squatting results, actually squat to or below parallel instead of your half squats.

2) Hey, mister, does this machine TONE you?

My answer:- Toning is dictated by bodyfat, exercises don't "tone you", they can build muscle but you have to be lean to be considered "toned", unless you're a genetic freak. Toning is more in the calorie deficient and intense cardio, not a machine fly.

3) The best overall mass building exercise is a machine fly.

My answer:- Shut up.

funny story about creatine...

at the place i used to bounce at one of the guys was a personal trainer. so he was in the locker room one day and was putting creatine in his water bottle with like crystal light or sumthing and an older guy runs out and gets a cop who is outside doing a road job. the older guy brings him into the locker room and says " there he is officer. hes doing steroids." the cop asks to see what he has in his bag, takes a look, looks at the old guy and says "shut the **** up and get your eyes checked."

then the guy i knew took a half hour talking to the old guy about what creatine was...which is even more retarded.

i know...i called him a ****ing retard for that
Not really....i would do that myself. Its how you are. I teach people, even if they insult me I try to do whats right on my part. Something you learn through having a faith a bit. I have had people treat me like trash, I treated them decent in return....later they come back and apologize for being retarded and seek to make amends, and I usually get a new friend who respects me alot.

Being the bigger man I think is slowly being forgotten nowadays...If he doesnt educate the old guy, who will? You?

hahaha.. gotta love stupid comments by stupid ppl..
I used to be a fat dude. much leaner now. One of my so-called friends who is still a fat bast*rd saw me at the gym and asked for advice on fat loss.
I spent 30 mins telling him about workout and how calories make you fat rather than dietary fat alone. Then he goes:

"ohh so you can eat as much fat as you want ,as long as you workout at the gym and convert it to muscle"....

I was so tempted to punch him in the face.

see i like to mess with people so i make **** up..like..o u have to add fresh cut grass to your protein shakes, mix tuna with scrambled eggs in the morning, or ingest your protein shakes anally (no homo).

or tell him to chew sugarless gum (if anyone knows where thats from, you win).

thats is great when someone asks...a rare find today. i only do that to people i hate. this happened the other day, i waited for the guy i hate to walk away from what he was using, so i qucikly swoop in and when he comes back he says hey im using that...and i look at him and say..well its not like u were workin hard.

"Hey dude, what are you up too?"

"Why are you doing so many situps?"

"Stretching is stupid, i never stretch and the only thing i get is shin splints" - Funny how you get shin splints, when you never run.. or work your legs. His workout was bench, Triceps, curls.

"I don't need to change my diet, i'm doing fine" ....

"Does that protein shake help you lose weight?"

My girlfriend at the time was asked once if she was training for ms. Olympia. She was fit (played tennis and soccer) but that still got a night hearty WTF from me.

Luckily people don't ask me too much at the gym anymore. When I started at this one a few years ago, I'd never talk to anyone - just go in music blaring in my ears and get work done. Then as I began to make friends, they talked more and my time there became a social event as well...something that I really needed anyway. (Having a family now kinda puts a cramp on the ol' social life. Growing up sucks!!!)

But every once in a while I get a girl in there who is outgoing enough to make smalltalk, and it seems that if I offer any advice on how to do something correctly, their response is the same..."I don't want to get all big like you!". HA!! Me? I don't think I'm that big, and I'm definitely not as huge as Kim (swollwilliams) up there! Dumbest thing is when someone alludes to me using steroids. I don't, never have, and never will. It's funny, but kinda insulting at the same time. I end up laughing it off knowing that if I ever did "use", I'd be in much better shape than I am now! :lol: Oh, well...no accounting for the ignorance of the general public sometimes...

Hahaha, some really funny things here. An old friend I bumped into gym on wednesday, had put on quite a bit of fat, well, he looked like he had a spare tyre around his waist to be honest, kinda like he was wearing an inflatable swimming float/ring around his stomach?! lol....

In a convo, he said to me..."Yeh man, I just really wana turn this fat into muscle" (while doing situps)

Anyone ever hear the Trying to turn this fat into muscle B.S?! Never seems to get old in my gym lol.
