This guy looked like a Hershey Kiss, complete with fuzzy winter gloves!

Holy shit!!!! He looks like he is going on an Arctic expedition

 

[CantTouchThis]

I think he just returned from his last mission with NASA but forgot to take his space gear off!

I've had a few, but here's the one I think was funniest.



This guy kept balancing a 45lb plate on his head, and then slowly squatting down. I can't even caption this one :32 (18):

Remember those Bane masks that people wore for a while? I wanted to pants every moron I saw wearing one of those.

I think this is ok, he’s getting in a workout and practicing good posture for grooming school. He’s also strong, I only use a 25 lb. plate, lol!!!

I will finally get a pic/video of spiderman just to put it in here, you guys are gonna trip. I have no idea how he hasnt been in a gym****ery post yet.

 

[big_wolf_Gang]

The picture is funny. I think he's trying to loose some water from a Dbol cycle. That explain the sweat suite he's wearing and WTF was that guy doing in that video? I'm still trying to figure it out.

Everyday I see people doing 1/2 or 3/4 reps ... most of the time its older members ... my gym has the about 1/3 senior citizens ... so at least they are in there doing something .. but when I see a younger person doing 1/2 reps I think what the fvck are you doing .. but I never say anything .. I'm there to workout .. not make friends or critique peoples form ... but seriously it is ridiculous ...

I have a dude at my gym that thinks hes lifting heavy but thats his range of motion too, and he does it at 10x that speed. Comes up huffing and puffing like hes doing something.
Dude looks the same if not worse than he did 4 years ago, lol.

 

[Boogieman]

Some of these are so distracting, how do you get in and go to work with this kind of thing happening??? Thanks for a good laugh!!!

 

[CJ]

I have another one, wish I could have taken a video of, but it would've been too obvious.

Father and son training, using the sit down Lateral Raise machine. They were doing sort of squat jump lateral raises up over their heads, to the point where the machine would bang off of it's range limitations.

These two were a sight to be seen, looked like swamp people. They looked like the type who'd bite you.

I can say I don't really see any of the ridiculousness that was posted above or seen on social media video memes. What I do see, unfortunately, is anxious people wandering around the gym just winging it not really with any direction as to what they are doing, or going. It's too bad because people are really trying to do the right thing. I blame the gym for this, because if they really cared, they would offer some beginners guidance to at least get a person started on a decent path. This, I see all the time.

I find myself at Planet Fitness pretty regularly these days because they offer a membership that allows you to go to any location nationwide and I travel weekly.

With that said, they do offer free training there. I am not saying its the best but it is perfect to teach beginners what machines do and how to use them properly. I do see a few members using this benefit but not very many. The bigger problem is that noone wants to ask for help, especially guys. Personally, I think that PF is the perfect model for newbs that have no business in a real gym and offers programs to help them to learn there way around so they can actually benefit from exercise without hurting themselves and being a nuisance to those who do know there way around a gym.

My "real gym" as I call it only offers paid training and most who use the trainers are retirees who frequent the gym in the morning while I am at work...thankfully.

Sorry for the long post. My point is that I think its more of an issue with the individual who knows everything these days cause the internet said so.

I do agree with all that you said. Good response. I also totally agree with the Planet Fitness explanation.
