mandy75 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Some of these treadmill videos make me weep for the human race. And especially the parents who let their kids play on treadmills! Treadmills iz serious bizness - not to bring the thread down or anything but there's some serious Darwin in action there. Treadmills are like the Terminator - they want to kill you, and they won't stop!I was thinking the same thing. Kids have been killed and seriously injured, playing around with treadmills. 1 Rep Max Deadlift-180lbs1 Rep Max Clean and Jerk-90lbs1 Rep Max Push Press-70lbs1 Rep Max Back Squat-135lbs1 Rep Strict Press-65lbsFitocracy2 weeks till Hawaii Link to comment

NotBadForAHuman Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I remember when that happened, ETF - she's one of the ones I was thinking of. I have a daughter so it really hit close to home.Now can we get some more videos of adults taking themselves out of the gene pool? Those are ever so much better. Link to comment

So Late So Soon Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 There is a lady who must be at least 50 with purple dyed hair that does really odd and provocative stretches and while doing them either pants and moans or makes noises that I can only liken to a crow caw, it is all around unpleasant.

wildross Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Ha, I was going to post that. I've often wondered how many takes that took...edit: and they obviously have some remote control software or something for the treadmills... Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Bean Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 There was a lady in the free weights section this morning who was dispensing advice right, left and centre to any other lady who would listen. The best one was - "don't lift such heavy weights, you will get big." Sigh ...Then she started dispensing advice to the men about doing more reps to build bigger muscles. Sigh ... Sigh ... SighAt that point, I decided it was time to move to the pull-up bar in case I could not overcome the uncontrollable urge to whack her on the head with a plate after removing it from my heavy barbell for my 5 rep set.

airen123 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I often want to take videos of the really funny-looking runners on the treadmill. Like the one girl who runs straight up and down, with her elbows out and crooked at shoulder level. Makes me giggle every time I see her. just keep on trucking... Link to comment

ZenGwen Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 This morning, there was a guy doing bench presses in the Smith machine. He had about 20 kg worth of plates on the bar, and when he pushed them up, threw the bar up into the air then caught it again. I guess that explains why he was doing them on the Smith machine, but it still seemed incredibly dumb. Or maybe I'm just biased against him because he spent his rests between sets watching me do deadlifts. (Which is why I noticed him in the first place.)

morethanjustamom Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have a hard time not oggling my significant other when she is doing squats or wall balls.Ummm, that's kinda one of the benefits of a significant other...ogling at any time, guilt-free. Just don't let it interfere with lifts. Oh, and she's probably ogling you when you're not looking. I totally ogle my hubby when he's lifting just about anything. 1 The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything: the young know everything. ~Oscar Wilde Link to comment

ZenGwen Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yeeeaaah, I don't really like it when guys watch me in the gym. Glance at me? That's okay. I glance at them too. I may even watch them do a particularly impressive lift. I don't even mind being obviously checked out (although if I'm in ratty gym gear it will make me self-conscious). But sit there and watch me do 3x10 deadlifts? That's just creepy. 2 Pain is the feeling of weakness leaving the body. Blog | Pinterest | Fitocracy Link to comment
ETFnerd Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 what gets me is the women who walk in with a pair of shorts that say pink or juicy in their rear and complain that guys are creepy... cause it's cute if the guy is hot, but creepy if the guy isn't to their liking... should this be in the argh thread...? i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.
