Smith machine should be added to this too! This guy at my gym uses the smith machine for everything but convinces himself he's as conditioned as the people that use free weights. Obviously he has earned the nickname "Smith". :D

If you look like shit but you brag about leg pressing 1,000 lbs, youre a gym idiot.

We had a guy at our gym that would put a 1000lb on the leg press and move it about 6 inches, then stand up and look around to see if anyone was watching. Every time he got on it, he did the same thing....... We have fun with him.

Yea and that same moron probably couldnt squat 315 free weight..someone was laughing at dudes the gym who say they train for 3 hours a day. Thats 10 minutes of training and 2.5 hours of shooting the shit...like thats all part of their training...wtf...lol

If you position yourself so you can watch yourself in the mirror while doing curls you may be a gym idiot. If you use the squat rack to do curls and can only work up to 90 lbs you might be a gym idiot. And if you load up any machine/bar with massive amounts of weight for a 1 rep max and leave it there to impress someone you are a gym idiot. J.R.

If i go into the gym at any point during the day and you are there..........you might be a gym idiot.

LOL...I love seeing people do this. Especially when doing squats. 6 plates on a side and bending the knees 3 inches must make them a real bad ass!

I have two for you:

A) I once helped spot a guy with his bench press. Problem was that he was using lift straps to do them. Maybe he was trying to appear as a professional in front of his hot girlfriend.

B) Another one and most recent is a coworker of mine. He's about 42 and very well ripped. However, he smokes in a major way. Often I'll mess with him and say, "Dude, it sucks that your body is so well chizzled while your lungs are as black as tar."

We jokingly tend to compete with each other by posing. One day, while chilling out on his bus, which was facing my bus, we sat in the driver's seat and he did a double bicep pose at me. I looked at him and gave the bored yawning appearance. Then I shut him out with a strong push down pose to allow my tris, bis, and delts to expand like madness. He simply shook his head in defeat and was telling me to go "F" myself afterwhich we both had a great laugh with it.

Went to the gym this morning and low and behold this kid(21-26) has taken the bar out of the Smith Machine to put weight on it to do shrugs. This was not only odd, but was real stupid was there was a cage and a squat rack both with free bars withing 10ft of where he was and nobody was using them- I couldn't make sense of it for the life of me
