NPC Amateur Bodybuilder
Now I'm not usually one to bash on novice lifters, we all were there once in our lives. However, this guy takes idiocy to a whole new level. Age wise, he must be between 62-68ish, clearly never worked out in his life. I'm in between sets on barbell curls, clearly in my zone (headphones on, very focused.... in other words DON'T come talk to me!). I watch this guy use every ounce of energy in his body to lift a 115lb DB off the rack and slam it on the ground. He then proceeds to push it across the entire gym floor with his foot, ending at a preacher curl stand. I'm thinking there is no way this guy is being serious. He then starts walking away from it, coming directly toward me. At this point I'm trying to keep myself exploding. He comes up right behind me, puts his hand on my shoulder and asks if I'm using the preacher stand.... the stand that is 15 feet away from me that I haven't touched once this entire session. Being a nice guy I say "Nope, it's all yours." Now this is where it gets good. He continues walking away from me toward two other dudes lifting together, he's now across the entire floor from the stand. He puts his arms around there wastes from behind them and asks the same question, they both laugh and say the same thing I did. He walks back to the stand, almost has a hernia lifting it into position, tries to curl it which ends in about 2.8 seconds and comes crashing to the ground. He pushes it with his foot all the across the floor, lifts it onto the rack and leaves. Here's the vid I tried to shoot, notice when turn my phone away the CRASH.YouTube - Idiot attempting 115lb dumbbell preacher curl
