This thread should serve as snarky education. If someone happens by and they've done this stuff, they know to stop or at least re-think it. If something as silly as an Internet forum thread is going to boo-hoo them away from the gym, well, they have other issues to deal with. Most of what we see in the gym in pure ignorance--people just don't know what to do other than show up (and gyms bank on that). It's the ones who do the stupid stuff and claim some sort of superiority that should be a concern, like the dozen or so brotards hump-curling in the (only) squat rack or the bean-pole cardio bunny doing her "ten minutes of arms" by porno-blasting through bent-over two-pound DB triceps kickbacks.

I'm all for people getting/staying involved, but sometimes, stuff is just funny. Besides, without ignorance, how could we learn (and laugh)?
