HAHA! I've seen a few of these at my gym. The skipped leg day cracked me up.
Chasing the sub 20 5K.
running is bad for you
We call him "it's chest day every day" guy.
Actually we have little pet names for a lot of people at the gym LOL.
I might have been #3 when I used to go to the gym (the one who is clueless with the machines). That would explain why I ended up always running on a TM, 5 times a week. It was the only machine I could understand. The boys there started calling me "la madame who runs 3 hours on the TM". Like in "Are you la madame who runs 3 hours on a TM?" Behind my back, I'm pretty sure they were calling me the nutcase on the TM. That's when I decided to buy my own TM.
SO is definitely a #7.

I see one guy who actually seems to do legs every day. I know this because he's on the leg press machine every damn time I want to use it. Meh, at least he re-racks the weight. Nothing like walking up to that machine and seeing 10 plates loaded onto it.

I hardly ever see that anymore which is great. I go to a cheap gym which attracts a younger crowd(around the corner for me) and fortunately not too many people from that demographic.
I've joined in ridiculing this guy on running forums, but then it occurred to me: this is a running forum and having a skinny upper body and skinny legs is okay, having a skinny upper body and muscular legs is okay, and having a muscular upper body and muscular legs is okay. Why isn't having a muscular upper body and skinny legs okay? Just food for thought.
We had "naked marijuana guy". Ponytailed guy who would walk around the locker room naked, corner people, especially overly polite foreign students, and lecture them about the glories of marijuana and the evil government conspiracy against marijuana and Bush's 9/11 plot (did you know Romney was in on it too?). As soon as you said "naked marijuana guy" to someone else, they knew immediately who you were talking about.
