Thread: Weirdest exercise you've seen in a gym?

Today I was at the gym and this guy took a seat on the bench. He then pulled out a piece of string from is pocket.

He then stuck his chest right out and with his back completely straight with all the focus in the world started wanking this string Im serious held straight out in front of him with his left hand and jerked it off with his right.

Has hard a I tried I couldnt stop looking at him like wtf. After about 3 sets he knealed down put one foot on the ground and started jacking it off vertically.

Whats the weirdest exercise you have see someone do?

Bad curls x 2 - read on ...

(1) .. I spoke about this years ago on the forums... a guy and his idiot brother huffing, puffing, yelling and slamming weights as they did seated dumbell curls with a diff weight in each hand (unmatched pair of dumbells) on the understanding that this would counteract the weaker left bicep.

(2) .. A so called PT who had a severely overweight client doing seated dumbells curls on a large fit-ball as part of a fitness assessment. - Idiot.

Didn't you know, the curls will give her lean sculpted arms while sitting on the ball will engage her core just enough to melt LAYERS of body fat without ever having to get on the ground to do a SINGLE crunch or break a sweat doing hard boring high calorie-burning exercises! Why settle for boring big bulky gym equipment when you can sculpt a sexy lean body by using this patent-pending method called the "Fancy Fit PT System".... Keep up with the times man...

@ Disturbed1, hahahahahahahaha

Don't really get too much crazy business at my gym but saw this dude in one of those bodysuits (whatever they're called) with what looked like tennis clothes on top and had a sweatband around his head. He had a 10lb dumbell in one hand, did a lunge, did one curl then when he got back up, he kicked the air (type of kick you'd do if you were kicking someone in the nuts). Swapped hands and did the reverse. He basically walked circles around the gym doing these mutated walking lunges.

Careful, sounds like a Mossad assassin.

Hay Krom............. was there another 26 of those dudes hanging around?? Perhaps all with differnt passports??

Saw a guy yesterday who was walking sideways while holding a piece of elastic that run underneath his feet.. thought this was a little odd.

I've been meaning to try bent presses for a while, may get a few odd looks.

At my gym, the main issues are no understanding of gravity.

Eg people doing arm doing kickbacks by angling their back such that most of the movement is actually assisted by gravity. I have also seen some pretty retarded looking sit ups.
