Practically the whole gym laughs at them but they really think they are the shit.

First time they were there, the guy puts 3 plates on each side but they couldn't get it off the rack. I was laughing my fucking ass off.
There's this old Asian dude w/ a beanie and a sweater that comes in all the time... as if it was snowing outside (this is San Diego BTW). One of his exercises is sitting on a flat bench w/ a dumbbell in each hand, palm-face up, and leaning back and lifting the dumbbells maybe one or two inches. Unless I am missing something, or this is a Pilates exercise (I had to do something similar in Pilates), I have no idea what the hell he is accomplishing. It's like he's rocking the dumbbells upward.

Another time, I was hitting the punching bag in one of those rooms w/ the wooden floors, like for classes. This old dude (60-70) comes in and takes one of the big exercise balls and starts bouncing it like a basketball. At the same time, he's zig-zagging between punching bags, and trying to make all these dance moves. He was moving his hands around and moving in circles; etc. Everybody just stopped what they were doing and stared at him like "WTF?"
