Did you see any stupid shit at the gym today Veeky Forums?
This guy did literally nothing but retarded shit like webm related, with very low reps, and bizarre stretches in between. What I don't get is that the guy looked great, i'd say about 6"2 and 80+kg with low bfat.
Saw a lanklet get pinned under lmao2pl8 on the bench. He was wearing a vest that said something along the lines of 'headphones on, world off. SHREDZ'.
I thought it was bretty funny.
that's actually bretty hard excercise, it's basically OHP
if you're gonna do handstands use a fucking wall not a rack and a barbell
Every machine he set his eyes on he used wrong, he did dips in the leg raise machine
This is a legit exercise, but he is doing it wrong.
If you are in gymnastics and working on your handstand you'll probably be doing something like this, but your body should be an L shape and your torso should be hollow. This puts a lot of pressure on your shoulder mobility. He has overriden the shoulder mobility component and is using up equipment.
L-shape? Like this?
maybe because he knows what he's doing and you're a retard? Hurr he not sitting on bench press like a baby and so he must be retarded. Not everyone wants to be a fat fuck powerlifter who only benches quarter range of motion constituting their whole upper body.
Nope, that's exactly wrong. What gymnasts call a banana body. LIke pic attached.
I gave up judging people on their moronic shit years ago. Like the guy in OP, maybe he's going to enter the world Hang Upside Down and do shitty Hand Stand Press up World Championships. Maybe he's the world champion for that particular mad exercise.
Maybe he's worl tiddle winks champion and his coach makes him do this exercise for some reason we don't know.
I've boxed professionally, and curl bros in the gym look at me like I've 2 heads when they see me do half the shit I do.
squat rack hand stander spotted
Guy was wandering around the gym doing every exercise using whatever weight was already on with no warm-up. Just altered form, ROM, and reps accordingly.
I've got a guy at my gym who does push ups on the hack squat machine. He places his feet on top of the shoulder pads and pushes off of the foot plate.
It's not so much weird as it is obnoxious though; especially because he grunts like a train chugging up a mountain
>benching
>warming up with empty Bar
>go to rack it
>miss one hook and one side of the bar almost smashes my face
>fucking loud, 3 curlbros bertstare
>embarrassed as fuck but laugh it off and keep going
>I've boxed professionally
When'd you start?
i see a lot of those, guys walking in the weights room and just standing there looking around like they came in with no plan whatsoever. They end up doing random machines for 10 minutes and leave.
>Every machine he set his eyes on he used wrong
kek i love watching these guys work out
but.. dips in the leg raise machine? how?
Boxing pro? 2010. Finished in 2014. I want to go back but life is in the way.
Everyone at my gym does their shit to the book and owner is an ex competition bodybuilder and will pull people up for doing stupid shit.
>fucking loud, 3 curlbros bertstare
this happened to me one time after I was leg pressing 420lbs for reps and the hook to clip the press somehow missed its slot and made a huge ass load noise.. the chads of the gym (in the curl area lmao) just looked at me. shit pissed me off, especially since I've gotten more gains than them in 4 months then they have in years.. these guys are such fags t b h
if the owner told me some shit while I was working out I would pull my pants down and tell him to suck my balls.
Obviously not to that extent. I would just tell him to get lost. The fuck? I'm paying to push iron around, not get pushed around by an old fart
I'm 18 and I wanna be pro. Is it too late?
it's never too late to go in a ring and get your head punched for the entertainment of old men smoking cigars. talk smooth, know the right people, and you will win all your fights by decision and make money. it's not about being able to fight, it's about being able to put on a show. boxing is the only sport in america that is 100% fixed, and they like it that way
I'm pretty bad a drawing but i think you can surmise it from this.
it's more of an ab machine than leg. It's utter shit though.
kek, if I tried to do that exercise I would literally be in the spinal ward
>OHP
>hard
pick only 1
Damn dude. Were you ever in a fixed match?
that has to be the fucking worst drawing ive ever seen, but i know what you're saying. I see people do that all the fucking time at my gym too. first time I went to the gym I almost did it too, but I remembered seeing some fool doing dips in the other area, so I saved myself the embarrassment. I've actually saved myself dozens of times by just watching people haha
I'm not the original user, but yes I did box. I was the boxer in the fixed match haha ... winning. I had the right connections. Once you start training every day, I would train 6-7 times a week, 4-5 hours a day .. I was intense, people took notice .. people made investments .. it's history from there.
Somebody bets $500 on you, they talk with the big boss and they're going to make sure their "investment" is 100% guaranteed. Then, they broadcast your persona as an underdog and unlikely to win, when you have major skill .. but it's hidden.
They'll set the odds to 10:1 .. and 99% of the crowd is going to rush to bet against you. The big dogs already have their thousands of dollars for you, when you win, they win.
You WILL NOT lose in boxing if you are the right person. The people that LOSE boxing matches are real fighters, people with "honor" etc.. they're expected to win. The guy played as the underdog is the one who goes far. See Floyd Mayweather, Pac, etc.
>I've boxed professionally, and curl bros in the gym look at me like I've 2 heads when they see me do half the shit I do.
examples please senpai
Lmao you're such a tryhard
im not but some common boxer workouts i did was a lot of jump rope, which people are quick to mock in the gym for some reason. A lot of the workouts i (we) do/did are something YOU'RE going to be similar with, such as deadlifts, lots of TRX workouts, rope workouts, med ball is a big one too .. but we do to the basic compounds as well
whenever i box my shoulder joints hurt like fuck. any tips?
In all fairness, one of the curlbros did come over and ask if I was okay.
confirmed for 0-32
I'm sure if he was trying to correct you you'd have been doing something severely wrong.
>You WILL NOT lose in boxing if you are the right person. The people that LOSE boxing matches are real fighters, people with "honor" etc.. they're expected to win. The guy played as the underdog is the one who goes far. See Floyd Mayweather, Pac, etc.
Was it always like this? Like for people like Tyson?
I just don't see how it would have been for old school fighters like Ali who had a personal investment/something to prove in winning desu.
Hey guys I don't want to make a new thread for something this stupid so I'll just ask here.
I just started exercising today after years of sedentary life, aren't my muscles supposed to ache? I just feel weak as fuck but I don't feel my muscles aching
can anyone explain why curling is considered a meme here? I only have dumbbells at home and don't really wanna go to the gym
Dumbbell curls are something you do when everything else is done. If you have an overally shit physique a few dumbbell curls won't fix that and is generally a waste of time compared to compound exercises.
People assume gym work=dumbbell curls for some reason.
stretch. if it clicks, ice and warm remedy for 20 minutes on 20 minutes off..
if it's sore, same remedy lol.. but if it clicks you're going to have to work a lot harder to fix it. i dislocated my left shoulder in a fight and it took 4 years to finallly stop clicking
what do you suggest i do then?
i was 9-0 and quit after my final fight with a mexican kid. he was quick as hell, best fighter i fought. i was stronger tho, and was able to go round to round with him and win it by decision although i lost.
yeah honestly you're right
tyson was old school boxing. no it wasn't like this 100% like it is today, but it was still fixed back then too.. Ali/Foreman times weren't really fixed, although smaller scuffles had rigged bettings going on. But Ali/Foreman fights Foreman/Sugar Ray/Ali/Etc.. were pretty genuine fights.
Tyson was pretty genuine as well.. it surely wasn't like it is today.
the guys who belong to floyd will always win in his hotel is Vegas, unless the dude gets knocked out. Floyd always hosted his fights at the hotel, all 49 of them, because his refs and scorers were paid off.
Really, if you win you get almost 400 million at the stage, giving a couple million to the refs is part of the investment.
Everyone in the boxing world knows its fixed, especially on the highest stages
if it looks retarded and works then its not retarded.
also maybe he got built earlier before starting to do retarded shit, maybe he played sports/lifted for many years, or maybe he has top-tier genetics.
I suggest you read the sticky.
curls 4 the gurls
curls are fine for biceps, really.. dont fall for the meme. the meme is just making fun of people who ALL they do in the gym is curls. Do your compounds and your isolations. Curls are great, but dont JUST do curls or you become a faggot curl bro
>if it looks retarded and works then its not retarded.
truer words have never been spoken. this is why a lot of the crossfit fools are ripped af
Yes
Ah thanks familia
How long hypothetically does your average fighter train before going pro?
No dude. I went pro in 2010. When I was 25.
I don't know what country this guy is from, but it is completely at odds with my expereince.
How many years did you train?
You still fight?
Saw an obese woman push the leg support on assisted pullup/dip machine down and up with her right leg.
