She was deadlifting sets of 155

I was OHP

It's alright he probably got scared of being sent over the wall and went back to spicland.

>be me 220lbs
>finish my sets of 2 plate OHP
>guy comes over and starts sumo deadlifting

This story lacked tripping over something and smashing your balls on a dumbell.

>Derpy
>A wild x

This greentext reeks of reddit

maybe he was...

Don't know if it's cringe or me being a retarded newfag but I saw a guy with at least 100kg on the bar doing nothing but unracking and reracking with two spotters. Like he had no movement aside from one step back to unrack and one forward to rerack.

If this is a thing someone please enlighten me as to the purpose

you beautiful autist

>and I spit in my face
KEK

>guy asks me for a spot
>he finishes his set and I say thank you

>notice one guy is circumcised
>the knob looks all white like his normal skin colour

Lol wtf are you gay bro XD hahaha fucking faggot git gud nub

Walk outs. You usually do them with 25-50 pounds over your max.

They're supposed to get you more accustomed to being crushed by the bar, so that your max feels more manageable.

Its less an actual training thing, but more of a confidence/mental thing. They're actually still very useful for powerlifters to help prepare them for an actual competition meet.

Source of image?

Ah that makes sense

That toothpick spic is called jordi i believe. Look up puta locura vids and he should pop up

BUT WHO WAS BENCH?

And then user was the leg press.

>at the gym with workout buddy
>doing dumbbell tricep extension
>old dude who is just sitting on a machine doing nothing half of the time suddenly goes "OI that looks dangerous you might hit yourself in the head. You should stop!"
>shrug at him and tell him it's a standard extension
>"I appreciate that you two are doing a lot of exotic exercises but that looks really dangerous."
>we had done squats, bench, barbell bent over, and barbell curl prior to this
>exotic

Now I need some good exercises that will really freak this guy out. Should try barbell flies next time.

I saw a meat eater savage meathead at the gym. Post from Richard, from VEGAN GAlNS

>tfw no qt squat gf

>go to gym
>these new guys are there
>never seen them before
>they just doing whatever
>talk a lot to each other and loudly but whatever
>start to bring girls with them
>girls like 4/10 maybe
>guys fighting for their attention
>will do a set of something and start dancing to gym music
>ok
>one of the guys is bench pressing
>only like 1 pl8 but still
>other guy says to the girls "haha watch this"
>starts tickling the guys underarms as he's benching
>start coming up with my story for when the police and coroner turns up after one of these stupid fucks kills the other one
>

Your reading comprehension sucks

My childhood friend who is now a navy seal told me that they do this in their training and that it's a mental/cns thing

seriously?

it would make sense in terms of activation/deactivation imo. i did a pretty similar thing for a bit to train myself to easily enter a zone when i begin a lift and exit it when i complete it.

Yes and he's insanely strong for his size

caught me off guard got a chuckle

>learned how to do handstand without needing to kick up
>need elevated handles
>practice a lot at home
>go to gym
>find this "thing" that i assumed was just for that
>hips high legs going up
>suddenly losing balance
>the thing flips and i fall on my back
>walk out

Also the day before
>try the same handstand in bathtub
>losing balance
>whole body gets slammed into bathtub
>this is at 1AM
>the slam wakes up mum and she obviously freaks out
>fucked up my left knee but pretend im fine
>taken an hour long cold bath reconsidering every choice ive made
I dont think any exercise has gotten me hurt half as much as the handstand.

>hate cardio
>put phone in designated spot on tredmill to listen to music
>earphones on
>pretty much sprinting
>wire gets caught by my hand
>phone gets pulled out and dropped behind me
>stop the tredmill
>go to the bathroom and puke

I don't know if this is cringe but I'll post my story

>Just finished my 1st working set of bench press.
>Load up to 140kg, can only rep out 2.5 for 2nd set.
>Full blown hottie in the squat rack next to me. 8/10 body, 10/10 ass ?/10 face (too beta to maintain eye contact)
>Waiting for someone to walk near my vicinity so I can ask for a spot.
>Waiting legit for 3minutes which seems like forever. Decide I'll just ask hottie for a spot when she finishes deads.
>I end up asking her but I almost spill my spaghetti.
>She has no idea how to spot. Tries overhand spotting.

Is it cringe to ask women for a spot?
I think she had a bf there as well. I'm not sure if that's cringe or funny.
I bonered as well when she was spotting me.
Also I pulled some horrendous faces. Did I kill my chances with her?
I've been thinking about it all day. I think I'm crushing as well.

Lmao. Sounds like you need to chill out dude. It was just a spot. But if you actually hit on her in front of her BF that is alpha as fuck.

Yeah, I didn't think anything of it until I was laying in bed. I've realised I've never seen a woman spotting. Am I now a creep for asking her?

Couldn't help the boner she smelt good. I think I love her. jk lol.

>But if you actually hit on her in front of her BF that is alpha as fuck.

Haha I wouldn't If i knew she had one for sure but she was chatting with a guy about 10 minutes later.

its a recent brazzers upload he fucks like 4 milfs. i had a fat bat to it yesterday

could you smell her fanny?

I could almost taste it.

Idk senpai, I think girl spotting is a little weird desu. Normally that's some of that gf/bf gym date shit. But if you are pretty confident in the weight and aren't completely autistic then asking a random qt at the gym for a spot is aight. Lets you interact with a girl and show her you can lift heavy shit.

>I think girl spotting is a little weird desu. Normally that's some of that gf/bf gym date shit.

Hit the nail on the head. That's what I was trying to articulate. It seems like an intimate thing. Which is why It feels a little gay when I ask a guy for a spot.

haha thats cool how he tickled his friend like a cheeky monkey haha

I don't know what's funnier picturing that scenario in my head or picturing your reply in my head.

>amped the fuck up, having a great workout
>walk over to water fountain
>headphone cord gets caught on some stupid fucking machine and ripped out of my ears
there is nothin more ruinous to a good session

>bonus: the headphones became damaged and no longer work properly

Overhead squat with a barbell in each hand

Hitting on the ugly gym girl regular and have her say literally one word in response. When even the jailbait with boyfriend is more approachable, holy female autism you got more problems than man butt, wonky teeth, a big nose and tired eyes.

You need a pump for 365? Kek

>handstand in the tub
yeah it's not the exercise it's your dumb ass

What is 1pl8, i feel stupid.

>fresh puber first time in gym
>warm up on spin bike

>im no longer peddling
>the bike is peddling me
>legs start ragdolling
>too much momentum and dont know how to stop
>hold on for dear life
>guy next to me laughed
>me cry

>be member of serious powerlifting gym because I'm no pleb
>90% of members are serious lifterы, both girls and guys
>one day see a new guy, obvously familiar with lifting, but new to our gym
>as warmup he shadowboxes for solid 10 minutes breathing heavily
>starts squatting and works up to hs workset of 2 plates
>grunts loudly every rep
>nobody seems to care cause thats what girls and teen skellys squat here
>contemplates for a minutes and slaps on another 10 kg
>sniffs ammonia for good 2 minutes and proceeds to squat
>grunts louder and shouts on the last rep
>still nobody cares
>does some isolations while shirtless ocasionally sniffing ammonia and breathing lilke he's pulling 6 plates
>leaves frustrated

1pl8 = 1plate = a barbell with one "plate" (45lbs) on each side = 45lb bar + 90lbs = 135lbs

2plate = 225
3plate = 315
and so on, in 90lb increments

>you like that.....right??

Fucking keked

(or, if you're a europoor, replace 45lbs with 20kg , so
1plate = 135lbs = 60kg
2plate = 225lbs = 100kg)

>We have those spray bottles all over the gym, filled with disinfectant.
>Use the bike for daily 10km.
>Use my towel as a sweat sponge.
>After i finish, i spray a little on a some tissue and wipe it everywhere.
>As i am wiping a dude who looks like a fat wolverine comes right in my face, no hello, nothing.
It's fucking rude in France.
>Speaks in broken french "did'jya feeenish?"
>I barely understand his need to behave like that since there was 5 other bikes that were free.
>"yeah dude go ahead" as i finish.
>"Okè" says fuckface still stepping in my space.
>The fuck is going on.
>Shrug it of i have other problems, i go to the rowing machine.
>As i seat down fuckface is spraying the whole bike and is frantically wiping it even after he saw me do it.
>Apparently i called him an assfucker out loud because the rower next to me starts laughing hard and winks at me, later tells me this guy comes almost everyday and hates change but he's basically inoffensive.

Actual IRL autism i think.

1pl8 is 90 pounds, u dont count the bar when you are lifting you're weights in the gym newfriend

>same gym another new guy
>short skinny dyel with invisible lats syndrome
>hear him talk to the gym owner/coach (50 yo powerlifter)
>guy sais hes like a top pro MMA fighter and need to pump some iron to improve his fighting abilities
>coach offers him personal training which costs literaly 5 times less than any commercial gym
>he refuses and I see the coach handing him his card with "its your funeral" face
>every time I see him he shodowboxes with 1kg dimbels in front of the mirror, does some half rep bench with half a plate and curls
>eventualy stop seeing him in the gym
>bump into him one day on the street
>told me he quit the gym because lifting weights made him bulky and slow
>mfw

How can someone not say 'tu as fini?' properly?

Parce qu'il n'est pas français ?

> finishing up some squats
> 5'3 skinnyfat girl comes over, asks how many sets I have left
> she takes my rack
> racks up 1.5pl8
> okay.jpg
> calls front desk guy over to spot her
> okay_wtf.jpg
> proceeds to quarter squat her way up to 2pl8 3x3 while some beta fondles her core
> continues to do this for 45 minutes, front desk bro spotting her the entire time
> mfw she tells me my squats 'were too low' and I'll damage my knees
> 't-thanks for your advice'

that's why you also subtract the weight of the grips on your dumbells, amiright?

>crossfit is another form of natural selection.

1 plate is 45lbs or roughly 20kgs, not 90lbs/40kgs.

2 plates is 90lbs or roughly 40kgs.

A bar with one plate each side is 60kgs. You say 60kg not 40 kg because that's what you're lifting. I assume you're trolling because literally every professional organisation does it that way. It's the standard.

I bet you don't even subtract the weight due to the hole in the plate.

Get some decent Bluetooth earbuds, I have a pair and I swear I will never go back

>swimming in gym pool
>turbo fatass (400+ lbs) comes in from gym area
>heads for the jacuzzi
>two guys are in the jacuzzi
>there is a shower literally right next to the jacuzzi
>there is a sign that says you are supposed to rinse off before getting in the pool or jacuzzi
>turbo fat-shit gets right into jacuzzi with his sweat-soaked shirt and headband on
>other two guys immediatelt leave jacuzzi, obviously grossed out and angry

Fucking disgusting fat people make me sick

prob posted about skinny privilege on tumblr immediately after, because skinny people can fit more friends in the pool

Yesterday there was a literal autist at my uni gym.

He kept talking loudly to himself in the mirror. I didn't actually see him work out. Then he tried to hit on a girl twice. Asked some pretty basic awkward shit, "You go to school here, doing anything tonight, etc." Keep in mind we're in summer term so the only people here are either at jesus camp, athletic training, or doing research (that's why I'm here).

The first time after she walked away I could hear him muttering to himself in the wall mirror. The second time, he flipped the fuck out, kept saying "WE FAIL. WE FAIL," as he stormed through the free weights section.

It was weird. Then I failed my 3rd work set of squats so that was a bummer.
