Keep that shit out of the Training Forum, you bitch.

Chubby middle aged dude comes in with a trainer yesterday, seen him several times, first time with trainer.
Proceeds to do some strongman log work, not more than 100lbs give or take.
While finishing up on assault bike some 6 or 7' away, I observe that he is lifting the log from from a tire...by standing inside it...sooooo performing a dynamic movement, lifting weight overhead, with nowhere to shift his feet to keep balance.
I never give unsolicited advice unless someone is going to hurt themselves or others and then it's only to make sure they've considered the risk. I politely point out the risk of the tire in case they hadn't; no big deal...not even the dumbest thing I've seen in the gym.
What really made the story fun is said middle age dude decides to get pissy and start bowing up at me asking if there's anything else I think he should do and some other nonsensical shittalking...LOL'd and walked away after that.
We need a word for that blend of concern mixed with respect for Darwinian comeuppance that we get when witnessing thumbless decline bench.
I don't think I need to say anything about this.
