Rowing Machine Workout Fail

jmzerosays...

This guy would fit right in at the gym I go to - he doesn't even make the bottom quartile in terms of stupid.

At least you could get tired doing what he's doing. Heck, I think it'd be reasonably cardio intensive. When I first tried the similar machines where your feet also slide, I think I may have looked about the same as he does.

The dumbest thing I've seen was a guy using a weight machine that, in all fairness, was a bit complicated. Skipping over some details, it has a large, circular pad on the front that you lean over. Anyways, he was standing in front, where I guess you couldn't see the rest of the equipment, and rotating the pad around the bar. Kind of using it like a kung-fu dummy for downward slapping.

The more common one I see is people doing "Ima weigh myself" exercises. To do this, you grab a cable, and then lean forward or backward on it to lift the attached weight stack (make sure your arm is either fully extended or tucked in such a way that there's no actual employment of arm, back, or chest muscles). When you've leaned over as far as the cable will allow, let go of the cable. Repeat. If you're ambitious, up the weight stack until leaning on it no longer causes it to move. Remember to do some texting after, but do not move away from the machine.

I've seen 3 separate people do this exercise.
