People who hold the handrails while on the treadmill (incline )

Random gym thought.
It puzzles me how so many people do this. Holding to the rails or the handles defeats the purpose of walking in an uphill motion in the first place. It's essentially the same as walking at a 0% grade without the handles. It's a waste of time.

Bro, you clearly aren't going hard enough if you have time to worry about other people holding handrails.

Yeah but the machine calorie counter goes much higher when you're on an incline. It's much easier to justify that triple cheeseburger when your treadmill says you burned 3 times more calories than you actually did.

Today I watched a guy do an intense deadlift workout on the Smith machine.
Not only was he lifting at the wrong angle, but his fat girlfriend came in and hugged him after about 30 min. She then proceeded to stomp on the treadmill while he kept pulling on his machine.

I would love to hear your thought process on this so I can decide if this is a troll or if you are serious.
Please explain.

It's not exactly the same, but it is waaaay easier to walk up the incline if you hold the handles

Ask me to my face next time, fricker.

It's true. If you tilt your body/lean to the grade if the incline of the treadmill while holding the handles. You're not changing the angle of your steps, so you're not burning anywhere near the calories it says you are.

That same person is probably spending 10 minutes circling the parking lot looking for a close parking spot too.

I've never noticed. Must've been too busy lifting...or checking out every possible angle and movement of myself in the mirror between sets.
Gyms are the weirdest places on earth. I'd say someone holding the handles on a treadmill are one of the lesser weird things I've seen when I used to go to gyms.
