re: Oddest thing you've seen at the gym?

The 500 calf raises story has me giggling like little girl. Lulz.

1) 10Gym in Norman, OK had an overzealous janitor who was low functioning autistic. Used to rap out loud with headphones on while aggressively mopping the floor. Saw him do some crazy acrobatics to climb on top of a Smith machine and then proceed to catwalk his way across the tops of the machines wiping them down. I admired the dedication but it was strange.

2) Brandon Curry’s training partner was my personal trainer in high school (not so subtle brag) and he had to clean up an old lady’s shite streak from the 2nd floor of the gym, down the stairs, and out the front door one time because she had an accident. Not sure why it was his responsibility.

And for those wondering - yes, Brandon was natural in 2007, yes, Brandon was HUGE, and yes, he was extremely nice and soft-spoken. Way too humble and normal to be Mr. O haha

-drinking coke/Diet Coke on the treadmill
-using a belt the entire time on the weight floor without ever taking it off
-using a slingshot on bench
-people treating traditional commercial gym 45# plates like bumper plates dropping deadlifts from the top of the lift

Could go on but these are the main ones

You’re most likely right and my years between 06-07 are off (I was a sophomore/junior in high school depending on the month in there). He got an “offer” by a “guy” to take things to the “next level” and the rest is history. Around that time, I think he was considering becoming a cop in Murfreesboro after he graduated from MTSU, but obviously he went a different (and arguably better) direction.

I’ve never seen someone more focused in the gym - every rep of every set every day. Total tunnel vision throwing around crazy weights like it was child’s play. Then he’d finish his workout and go back to just being a total “aw shucks” kind of guy and chatting with the gym receptionist downstairs.

Guy on a business trip came in and bought a day pass. He did something like 500 calf raises. The next day he couldn't get out of bed and somebody from his work had to come get him.

there's this very 'flock of seagulls' looking older guy at franco's that wears a shirt all the time with the print "I love MILFS"....pretty good place to wear that, as its loaded with those there.
