There's no way in hell having 135 on your shoulders and jumping in the air is remotely safe under any circumstance. A normal squat puts enough pressure on your lower back and legs but jumping as well? Ludicrous and I for the life of me, see no benefit.

I think it's pretty safe - I used to do this all the time when I played hoops - really helps with jumping - seen videos of Kobe doing this all the time

Most annoying thing to me in non segregation gyms are dumbasses that have to put a towell or drink of water on unused and very popular equipment. Geeze, put it on the floor.

I like the ones that do crazy and unconventional exercises. Not hurting me any and can be a good laugh. Also, in the current age of the revolving slut, they are wearing less and less. I like that. I love looking at some good high school and college ass.

I hate the guy that does a circuit. Not because he shouldn't but because he ties up 4 pieces of equipment. Then gives you a dirty look when you take one of them.

Have to say, never seen no-shirt guy...I would think my gym would kick him out.

Also hate pose in the mirror all day guy. We all like to see our pump, but don't make it so obvious.

Also have social guy at my gym. Workouts out for 2 hours, doesn't really do much but talks to everyone. When I'm there, leave me alone.

Okay these are some other things at the gym that make SMH, all seen recently at my gym.

1. Bitches who read a magazine while on the treadmill Did you come to work out or read recipes?
2. Dudes that talk alot while working out, I dont me between sets , I mean during them. Did you come to
work out or socialize?
3. Trainers that are fooling with their phone while with a client. Train me mofo, play with your phone on your time.

I used to work at the gym when I first moved to DC. Things I've seen:

1. Men rushing out of the locker room to tell us that 2 guys were having sex in the sauna
2. Guy picked a scab in his nose and was bleeding everywhere, I mean he had 3 towels covered in blood, and people were freaking out. I thought he was having some sort of uncontrollable nose bleed and he just said "I picked a scab" I guess this had to be done at the gym.
3. Multiple reports of guys beating off in the steam room
4. Gay cycling instructor shaving his legs in the shower with the curtain open
5. Way, way too many bad exercise/bad form stories to type out.
6. Shirtless guy in the men's locker room taking pictures of his biceps

At my current gym there is a guy that works out in his socks. I have no idea what is going on there.
Also, similar to post #29, some guy was trying to put weights on his thighs/stomach to do some sort of thrust with his legs. He asked me to spot him and I laughed in his face and walked away.

-This is a great topic, BTW

I could go on and on about the way people work out. Like the guys that work out right in front of the free weight rack...

Hate-I make a point to walk in front of them, near the rack, to get by.

Quit the gym 7 years ago and workout at home with just kettlebells, free weights, and heavy bag. That's all you need

When people try and circuit or superset on multiple pulleys or machines when the gym is packed...nope. I get in there and start doing work.

sure...but, home workouts seem like they would get very repetitive and boring and the chance of skipping or quitting is too easy.

one of the main reasons I hit the gym for cardio sometimes is to get some sauna time. sitting in 165 degree heat is nice. and no talking in there.

I was thinking the same thing.....I mean how much did that cross weigh that Jesus carried around for a while? He looked pretty worn out (in the movies), and he wasn't even jumping up and down.
