So this is what working out is all about... cool

The lady working her abs toward the end cracked me up. The other stuff freaked me out... the spotters were way to little to do a decent job...

This is NOT what working out is all about. I'm in the gym four days a week, and the guys that I work out with all have a high degree of common sense. That last one? They make barbell collars for a reason.

Oh man, that first one looked awfully painful. The lifter's hands weren't even on the bar, so it was a free-fall.

The lady on the machine towards the end was pretty funny though.

Yeah I know. I work out 3-5 times a week plus run as often as possible (so I can hike into ridiculous places to shoot bad images ) but I'm not dumb enough to bench press alone. I didn't think any of the spotters were strong enough to do the job so the "victim" might as well have been alone. The lady is the only one that cracked me up... the rest were hard to watch. The last one... ugh... he's lucky all that twisting under a load didn't hurt his back.

I always laugh at the guys who do the "air-hump", that's not how you bench-press.

I see all kinds of things in the gym that make me hurt just watching.

Many of those guys were doing the easy part, the down part, the lifting is where it gets harder I suppose. :)

Thanks for sharing. These were good -- in a 3 stooges way.
