Hello, Anytime Fitness? I was hoping you had a squat rack available this evening around, say, 6-6:30?

>sorry there are no squat racks free right now

>however there's plenty of smith machines open

Lmao good fucking luck. You're working in at those times!

Paul Owen could have gotten a rack, your brother too.

>your squat rack doesn't take quarters

>Check it out
>New shoes
>Strapped laces
>Nike Romaleos
>White

>go to gym
>it has power rack
>mirror inside of it
>it was used all the time like pic related
>guys doing 1pl8 squat, ass facing mirror
>some girls facing the mirror
>everyone stands on the outside


besides
who the fuck created the mirror meme for squats
it doesnt help for shit

How would watching your form in a mirror not help? It helps to see depth and if your knees are caving in.

You can feel it is your own body

>user... no homo

no it makes me stare at myself on accident and end up with bad form

>It's definitely weak, but I have a feeling if we do enough of it, we'll make those gains

kek

If the bar is racked on the outside and is wider than the sides of the rack itself, then doesn't it make more sense to stand outside? I don't know, I've never used this box style of rack.

>Looking for a new gym
>Hit up Anytime Fitness
>Just want to know how much it is
>Dude has me sign up with the website right off the bat and offers me a free consultation when I join the gym
>Tell him I just want to know the price
>He says that he cares about people's fitness and will track when I go into the gym to see if I'm still motivated and will contact me if he thinks I'm not
>I just want the price
>It's $100 down with $50 a month thereafter unless they need repairs or a new machine in which case they'll just charge you extra
>For some small armpit of a gym that has as many weights as I do fingers on my hands and an owner that breathes down your fucking neck
Fuck Anytime Fitness. What a shit gym.

Creatine. PEDs. I want to do some creatine tonight. Do you understand?

You are retarded right? The mirror is nothing but a distraction. Also its a matter of skewed perception on how if your form is good (below paraellel, head in line with neutral spine) you cant look for all of this when in the hole of a squat. Just have your handler record you squatting and see for yourself.

>handler

kekits accurate tho

why use power rack then at all when you can use 4 other handles in the gym that serve the same purpose minus the mirror ?

You squat in rack so you have safeties and can bail failed rep with no risk

Damn I pay $33/month for anytime. On the road for work all the time and it comes in really handy, been to over a dozen. They are hit or miss though since they are franchises. Only ever been to one that didn't have a rack though.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey Mark

TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT A SQUAT RACK NOW, YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARD
YOU FUCKING BASTARD

>I have to return some weight plates

*listens to erotic hypnosis audio*

You must be really ugly or have a weak mind if looking at yourself in a mirror is a distraction. Do you start to cry mid-set when you realize you'll never make it?

kek

good one

lmao

my gym is alright.

this one legit got me laughing, for how apt the reference is and how unlikely it is to catch the squat rack open in peak time..... meatheads and meatheadettes wait half an hour for a turn. how can you alternate with a dude who is squatting 500?

>You want some protein? Some creatine?
>Get some god damn supplements

Shut up, Luis

>tfw my gym has these but they took out safety bars
>everyone uses it like in OPs pic anyway

WHAT THE FUUUCK.

Looking in the mirror really fucks up my squats for some reason. Just looking down at the ground makes everything fell more natural. I don't fucking know hwy.

Ya like Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strengthâ„¢?

>though the routines are fairly generic, there are great bits throughout

> looking down
> during squats

I mean like this

Forcing your neck up to look at the mirror feels weird to me.

tfw no ash tray in the squat rack

>unironically doing squat mornings
