Sugden is good for this..

The classic guys getting pinned to f**k with 140-180kg on the bench, or not putting collars on that sort of bench and getting pinned and it all falls off, then berating their spotter for not helping them with the rep, where they should probably be using 60-70kg at most. This is weird to me rather than funny/annoying, because this is a potentially life threatening exercise where they are literally entrusting their lives in a stranger and his ability to upright row BIG weights.

I have a picture of 3 guys sitting on a bench doing concentration curls and swapping the dumbell between each other.

There is this skinny Asian dude who walks around like a dick, weighs around 60kg, ANY body part he works out (horribly usually), for the next 15 minutes or so he hols that body part, I guess either to see if they are pumped up enough for his liking, or he doesn't want to get TOO big so holding the muscles back.

The guys who always feel the need to go BALLS OUT on lateral raises and front plate raises, bent arms and 6 inches of motion are common. This again is weird to me because they put SO much effort into this one.

The guys doing semi wrist curl quarter shrugs, with the bar held behind themselves.. awesome waste of time.

These are all since January that I can remember, there will be loads more.

people using a deadlift platform to do incline bench on



people doing sidebends whilst holding a DB in each hand, so they are just acting as a pivot

Looks like an assistance exercise for the butterfly swim stroke. Mental tho.

Ah, the old Patagonian Decline Sky Humper if I'm not mistaken.

And the weirdest thing I saw was alternate dumbell curls on a wobble board.

EVER.... hmmm

well i saw a GILF once who came in and just did ballet stretches for an hour, she was one flexible old f**ker

saw a guy doing shrugs and inbetween sets resting the bar on the very corner of a bench.... he had about 6 plates a side. dropped it from the top, it landed on the bench corner and bent an oly bar only time ive seen that happen

saw a fairly old dude benching 180kg and counting his gear out on the bench between sets

curls in a squat rack is always an old fave

cleaning an ez bar, then pressing at a 45 degree angle to the front

Some one doing pulls ups while wearing a man bag. Fair one he did about 10 sets of 10 reps.

Some one doing dips with a vest and a scarf on.

Some one doing bicep curls on the seated row machine.

Not sure about an EZ bar but that is a valid exercise which is actually pretty hard, good for shot putters.
