The World’s Strongest Man
Posted on | January 9, 2009 |
Proper gym etiquette is something that most people seem to know and respect, at least if you’re not from another planet, and have some kind of common sense. Yet, there are always those few who never seem to amaze me though; the kind of people who are unaware of their surroundings or even that there are other people working out in the gym as well.
There is a smelly, stinky monstrosity of a guy at my gym that my friends and I like to call the “World’s Strongest Man”. He tries to lift more than anybody else in the gym only he does it with the worst form I have witness in all my years in the gym. He reeks of foul body odor, and you can smell him about 10 feet away. To me, he is the epitome of everything I hate about the gym. He takes far too long for each set, he leaves his body odor in a trail that follows him around and clings to everything he touches, and his horrible form makes me sick.
When he does squats, he puts up to 475 lbs on the bar, and manages to squat down a full ¼ of an inch for every rep. Thighs parallel to this man would mean nothing and is something he probably has never heard of. When he does leg press, he loads on 24 plates, 45 lbs each, and barely pushes the rack up and down, yet he stands there like he is the strongest man on the planet. He uses up every available plate so that no one else can work out. The worst part about this guy is that his form was taught to him by one of the other 24-hour fitness MASTER trainers. It’s a disgrace and somebody should take this guy outside and beat some proper form into him.
I hate to say it but I am patiently waiting for him to collapse underneath all that weight. It’s only a matter of time.
