hey hey, some of us aren't in fancy schmancy gyms. It looks strangely like my t-bar set up at mine. haha

My gym doesn't have a t-bar...I know of a jail that does though.

 

[Tomahawk88]

Am I a DB when I steal a bunch of weights to jerry rig a T bar setup? Haha

Why not just put it against the wall instead of using 3 45 pound plates? I used to just use a corner but most corners at the place I am at now are filled up.

 

[herderdude]

I've screwed up a t-bar setup similar to that. I was using too much weight and got pulled forward at the bottom of the lift. Bar jumped up and hit me square in the ass hole. That was the end of my workout for the day.

They did that at my gym for a while then the wall started to look like something out of escape from Alcatraz. The numbnuts couldn't get the concept of putting a towel in the corner first. But it all worked out, I walked into the gym two months ago to a brand new t-bar holder bolted to the floor.

Haha I couldn't help but laugh. Not enough people do t-bar rows to do damage. Plus they have one of those platform machines that tries to flip you over the handlebars. Wish they would get a landmine in the main lifting area and NOT the boot camp crap.

 

[EatMoar]

I need to start doing tbar rows .

 

[iddc]

i set that up in my gym and i got scolded by the owner..

after a few months they made a fixture at a corner for setting up t-bar rows like that.. hehe

 

[Bigcountry08]

I love t bar rows I do them at least every other week.

Yeah I used to do that and like always someone had to ruin it by ****ing up the walls so of course signs went up. Then they got in the t bar with the foot platforms and the handle bar style handles and i don't like it but I try and switch back n forth. that setup works pretty good that I did as long as you don't lurch forward which you shouldn't if your doing it right

Ok I got you. Someone always has to mess things up. Sucks doing something "new" then watching someone mimic you and mess it up.

Speaking of which I had some guy stop me during my arm workout and ask for advice. Was asking how to make his upper chest "cut." Not real sure why he asked me. But I told him to do incline bb and that diet was more important. He decided that was too hard so he just did some incline db.

 

[ryane87]

I was being a smart ass. I like t-bar rows from the floor like that better. My old gym in Indiana had a platform set-up to do t-bar rows with a coupla different grips. I still set up my own. I liked it better.

Sounds like something I'd do, disregarding diets

Oh, I know, so was I. Smartass should be in my name somewhere. It's raining so much here, I'll be rowing a boat around town soon. Eff a t-bar.

[chedapalooza]

^ no curling in the rack!

 

[IrishSoldier]

Power rack... Where ectomorphs enjoy a leisurely curl of the bar and wonder y u no progress?

 

[Bigcountry08]

There was a guy Saturday doing bb curls in our squat rack. I kid you not he stopped and talked for about 15min between sets. I got in after he was already there and did shoulders and tris in the time that it took him to do 4 sets of curls, and he was still doing biceps as I was leaving.

Here's a little glimpse inside that guy's head:

Time to head to the Power Rack for some curls.

Wifebeater - Check
Duffel bag of mysterious items that will make people wonder if I juice (i.e. protein powder and socks) - Check
Barbell - Check
2nd Barbell in the perfect position for some to trip over - Check
Incline bench - Check
Cell Phone - Check

One wink at the mirror and I'm ready to go.

Hey it was just an easy bi workout.

I did curl in the squat rack, but someone was on the curl rack and our pos gym only has 2 racks and 2 bars. Lol. There were only me and my busy there as well so it didn't matter. The only reason I see to complain about it is if someone is waiting to use a Rack or if they are curling while another free barbel is not being used. If no one needs it it's not a big deal.

Yeah I agree, still always irks me a little though even if there isn't someone wanting to use it. Lol

I know you mean. It's getting to the point where it's over the top though, even some of the douchebags are starting to figure out it's cool to make fun of people curling in the squat rack! haha.

Personally if there are unused racks I would rather have them in their curling then out in my floor space when I am trying to do dumbbell work. Only if there is no one going to be using the rack etc.

Haha exactly! I see this guy all the time. You should have seen his form. Never seen someone swing so much while curling!

aka.. too much weight for proper form. He just wanted to look cool

 

[Mp859]

Guy dead lifting with all the gear on you can buy frm the first weight he pulled. And leaning back and to the side at the top of every rep was weighing for him to fall or snap his back definetly looked painful I'm sure he will be hurt by next week

 

[Heavyappetite]

This guy last night... FSDJFHSLKDJFHSJFHSOEJHFSE is how i felt.

I was trying to use the cables, he's on the set next to me - but during his breaks in between sets he is making an attempt at pop and locking or whatever that dance **** is...then the set after, he was shadow boxing...even though he is not a boxer and does no boxing fitness at the gym.

He is the reason that the word douche-bag is personified.

This dude and "shaker" (from my previous posts as Djanthum) are really good friends.

Currently looking for a new gym.

I need a new gym..the teens who use roids and scream on every set and are the only people who decide to take their shirt off at my gym while working out and then scream about how amazing they look...some girls come over to talk to them...but they're only average if that..guy says to this girl.
"You see that *insert name of car here didn't hear it* outside?" Girl says "umm noooo" he says "oh well that's mine *flexes lifts his shirt up* lol

Young love. I'm just about to turn 21 and that scene is too old for me. This reminded me of when I had a membership to the YMCA and all my friends in the world were there but none of em lifted. Was more of a social thing.

the guys in your gym screaming, taking their shirts off, and using roids. must have a decent body?
guys at my gym doing the same thing (minus roids?). but their bodies are that of a gradeschooler.

i can hear them scream even if i'm on the other side of the gym with earphones on and level set to max..

i think i have to get better earphones?

Beats by Dre will do the trick.

I was thinking along the lines of squatting on their faces while theyre laying on the bench screaming with their 2 x 5kg plates on the barbell.

Maybe I should experiment with different methods?!

 

[Heavyappetite]

By the way... There are alot more of these clowns...

I'm only choosing some of them!

One day I'll tell you all about superfat.

Ok, I need an intervention. Today I was the douchebag. There is this girl at the gym every morning and she is smoking hot. Not a barbie doll, more of a feisty Latino with attitude, who works her ass off in the gym. She looks like the girl from the new M&M commercials, Naya Rivera. Anyhow, her a$$ should be framed and hung in the museum of fine art. So today she is training two friends, who were not too shabby either. So all three of them, in yoga pants are doing box jumps, burpees, pushups and jumping rope directly across from the leg extension machine.

Well, today was supposed to be abs/core day for me, but it immediately became leg day for me and I did 7 sets of leg extensions with long rest periods in between.

I could've helped... We couldve done donkey calf raises or something.

Would've turned them on.

Lol I hope that is a pic of the girl from the commercial and not the chick from your gym. If so you're on that stalking level.
