People who don't really know much tend to hype the crap out of supplements. When I bought my first tub of creatine, I was like 16. I took it home with me and my mom flipped out and told me to take it back to the store because she didn't want me taking "steroids".
 
Ive tried talking to him about supplements before and he told me that this supplement that was nothing but arginine and caffeine was the best pre workout for pumps ever. I tried telling him about nitrates/agmatine/gms, said "i guarantee this is better than whatever those are." Some people are a lost cause.

I wouldn't even waste my time and energy. I had a friend who was 21 and wanted to cruise so bad, he didn't listen to me. In the end, all he got was some biceps and smaller nuts.
 
Here something, some guy went to the Olympic lifts rack with the plastic plates, got the almost weightless barbell and started doing curls with a 25 and a 10 on each side.
 
Now I understand why people in my gym don't unrack their weights...the personal trainers don't when working with a client or training on their own time.

I watched a guy tear his bicep shoulder shrugging 405. His kid unload the bar to leave he took 3 plates off one side then took the last plate off and it flipped launched the bar pretty good. So 4 plates on one side will do it if you wanted to try.

I stopped two people from doing that where I go. One was a women in the squat rack and the other was two kids goofing around on the bench.

Ive always wondered how much weight it would take to flip the bar. Ive never actually seen it happen. Everytime I unload a barbell I always take each weight of each side before taking off more...but maybe when the gym is empty one morning...

The magic number is three to five plates. I just saw it happen a couple weeks ago at a meet. Five plates out of freestanding squat stands. Nearly killed a guy.
Aaaaand I'm like three days behind. Whoops.

What an idiot.

I've taken two off a single side by accident and thought I was pushing the limit when I realized it.
 
Have seen the bar tremble with two 45s and a smaller one-do not recall what weight. Like it was bouncing on a scale a bit off equilibrium. Have also seen the catapult effect with three 45s. Calculate the limit is 100lbs per side.

I just like to play it safe. One side at a time.... :D
 
2 skinny guys bench pressing this a.m., one skinny guy says to the other skinny guy "it's OK to let the bar bounce off your chest. It actually helps make you stronger". Instantaneous face palm.

Like this kid who dropped an 80lb db on his chest because his spotter WAS NOT SPOTTING him. I was in pain for him. ?

Damn that doesn't sound like he got stronger lol I've had my share of bad spotters checking out chicks and texting on there phone.
 
I've dropped a 90lb dumbbell on myself doing shoulder presses. My elbow gave out and it hit my shoulder, then my knee, then my foot on the way down.
 
saw a guy squatting in jean shorts, ripped the ass seam all the way up and was not wearing anything under, lots of people laughing at that one.
 
Oh man, some chick almost ate sh*t on the box squat! ???

Besides of the infamous dorks, who train in designer shirts and constantly using their Iphones, we have here a special kind of "anorexic no-gainers".
At least 12 people I've seen every day for a year, doing their exercises with no visible gains in strength -or muscles at all.
I mean, even if you are natty, after a year at least a vein on your forehead gets visible, am I right?

Those are the self-diagnosed "hard gainers." You ask them how much they eat and they say they eat a ton, but in reality they eat maybe like 1300 calories a day. And then they blame their genetics and say it's impossible for them to gain muscle.
 
Yeah, my cousin was telling me about her and her husband's new diet. She said that they really don't eat healthy, but they just eat less. She said that they only eat 1200 calories per day. Their arms are definitely looking skinnier, but their torso's are still horrible. I think they're turning into insects...
 
Arguing with my friend about his deads.

speaking of that song, everytime me and my wife hear that on the radio I start yelling at it. the singer says the song is not about you, when in fact the entire song is her saying it's not about you. there for the entire song is actually about you.

It's amazing how some people need a constant distraction from their own brain. I'm sure his thumb was constantly swiping in hopes that a new twitter or facebook post would appear. I'm sure it doesn't even cross his mind that someone could be waiting for that machine while he's skimming through endless drivel.

To be fair....I'm too cheap to pay for music so I use an app. That's basically it though for my phone.
