Martial Arts Articles Douchebag of the Month

Speaking of T-Nation and douchebag articles, they actually have one up right now.http://http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article/sex_news_sports_funny_grok/on_matters_of_douchebaggery

Sneaky Edit: Those pictures in the article make me laugh, and yet they make me sad at the same time.

42

Gotta agree here.

Also, LOL at the basketball story.

43

That’s just one more reason to go join CrossFit or, if that isn’t an option, dig up $200, buy an Olympic weight set, and get your lift on at home. Plus nobody will take your pic with a camera phone while you’re engaged in your own personal douchebaggery.

44

Uh oh.

45

Remain seated with your hands in plain sight. The dogs will be with you shortly.

It happened 16 years ago but I bet if I walked into that gym today someone would start whistling that goddamn cheech and chong song. >=(

48

Dude, how tall are you??

49

I mean phrost!

50

Me? 5’10", why?

51

I thought you were super tall because the bar was mounted really high. Then I checked again, realized the squat rack itself isn’t as tall as I thought it was. I thought you were like 6’5" from the rack and wondered how long it took you to get to 275 from your height!

But I was wrong. doh!

AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH SMALL POTATOES?!?! who the fuck says small potatoes? i must have laughed for atleast 15 minutes when i read that.

sry didn’t realize the thread had been dead for awhile.

54

It’s a pretty common phrase from what I know.

55

There are two primary reasons why curling in the squat rack reaches a high level of Douchebaggery…

  1. You are using a piece of equipment you don’t need to and are preventing someone who actually HAS to use that piece of equipment to perform their excercise.

And the biggest reason…

  1. Any normal person that has done any weightlifting at all can around deadlift 200-300 lbs MINIMUM. If you are so fucking lazy or weak that you can’t lift 75 or 95 or whatever you are curling off the floor then you need to just kill yourself…

Thanks!

56

I guarantee, that if the squat rack wasn’t in front of a mirror, they would not use it to do curls in.

I always heard “small taters”, but yeah, it’s pretty common…

57

To be honest, in order to write this and its sister column (Badass of the Month) I have to work myself into a mental state something like a combination of:

and

With a dash of:

Hope that clears things up.

58

Glad to hear you’ve started going to a gym, Phrost. Did you lift anything, or do you just go there to get ideas for your stories?

59

Where can I purchase that Hello Kitty squat rack?

Oh, and the “butt-to-bench” squat guy. If you can’t put your ass to the floor then reduce the weight. No one is impressed.

Agreed. Use the equip practically or get out the way. BUT I really really would love to point out that quote. Your lifting techniques are out dated partner touching your ass to the floor was agreed to be a bad idea uhh I don’t know approx. 50 effin years ago… Who taught you that junk? Seriously though keep that up and you won’t be doing squats for long.
