ITT we post things we've seen in the gym that made you go wtf

I saw a guy literally doing squats the other day, I thought it was a joke that people do barbell squats

>using arm press for triceps since dips hurt them.
>I get off it to go to the water fountain and get a drink
>fat ugly nyr woman takes downs my 150lbs to 0 lbs and literally presses nothing for ad infinum reps.
>I tell her I was using the machine
>she said I left so it's hers now
>she proceeds to finally finish her "set" and talks to her fat whale gf on the leg presses

I never understood the hate for the NYRfags but my blood is fucking boiling now

I have a question: should I be suspicious if my boyfriend has a female """"gym partner"""?

Stop trying to derail thread

is 100-110 good for one arm db rows i just started doing them

I only go between 11 and 1 pm on weekdays because it's pretty much empty and I work nights so it's basically my morning workout at those hours and I never to on weekends because it's packed

This past Saturday I went on a weekend for the first time and holy fuck it's so packed with people doing ridiculous exercises that you can't even get a proper workout because everything's in use

Did you have a towel or anything
Otherwise you left the machine it was up for grabs

Why the fuck don't you get your fat ass down there and be his partner instead then?

He's already been balls deep.
Now fuck off and let the thread get back on track

Iktf brah I only go on weekdays mid day because it's way less crowded

It just baffles me that so many people, all at once, can have 0 idea of what the fuck that they're doing

It's even weirder that they have a sense of accomplishment afterwards

That's why I always go at 12-3 AM when it's dead quiet and only srs lifters are there

Ah man I wish my gym was open at those hours but it closes at 10 pm and doesn't open until 5am

>be me, lifting
>two french scientist icons walk in
>'hey, we're the bogs, how many sets you got left'?
>me: uhh, 2
>bogs: ok, take your time

kek

This story takes place a little over 1 year
>there is this skinny little pajeet at my gym who I suspect have some form of autism
>He is always fucking around with most of the machines, but never lifting more weight than the brittle old lady who comes in for her weekly physical therapy
>He keeps coming every day lifting paperweights never gaining anything except the aroma of better men
>jesus chris man what are you doing with your life
>tries to befriend me and ask about my gains
>fuck me... make awkward small talk. I tell him he should be eating more and start using barbells
>my spotter finally arrives thank god, cya dude
>catch him crying in the toilet next day
>not my problem, but I still feel bad for him

Don't fall for the bait guys

>guy goes to power rack
>puts 25s on each side of the bar
>moves the rack real low and sets up the safety pins higher so they almost touch
>stretches his legs, looks like he's preparing to do squats
>NOPE.jpeg
>takes his shoes off.
>bends down on his back and thrusts his legs up
>starts pressing the barbell upwards with his feet
>I literally blurt out what the fuck
>he finishes his set, rapidly gets up and grunts to himself while flexing his arms.

This pic is the best I can do to describe it.

Some scrawny black dude was rapping into his dumbbells between sets last week when I was there at 2am. Guess that's what I get for working out at a budget 24hr gym lol

Though the description is funny, he may have been (attempting to, at least) doing calf presses?

> not doing barbell leg press
Never gonna make it

youtube.com/watch?v=xu00M7sIVCc

Calf presses with a free weight barbell and not a smith machine is a death sentence

>Guy goes to cable machine
>Grabs on side
>Starts kneeling, what the fuck
>His both knees and whats under them on the ground
>Hands on the handle of machine
>Starts repping it by touching his nose to ground
>Looked like he was doing the muslim prayer of gains

Is this a real exercise?
It looks even shitier than an axel continental clean and jerk.

You mean an ab crunch?
youtube.com/watch?v=kCmCr8EZKH0

these are actually legit

Look at this cum guzzler

>roid guy gets on gym
>does incline bench, pullups, curls and skull crushes, squat and deadlift
>does this every fucking day
>looks amazing

Well at least you tried to participate..........

I like ab crunches. But the rope should be vertical. If it's as diagonal as in your picture, you have to pull too much in the wrong direction.

I am not a fan of this exercise. I feel like my body weight is doing most of the work.

>guy doing ohp
>instead of reracking after his final set he drops the weight, takes off the plate, and curls the bar up
>puts plates back on and repeats

>tfw that's me because of a shoulder injury

Then you use too little weight. I'm doing it with 50kg for 4x10 and I definitely feel it.

doesn't sound like a bad routine. maybe some horizontal pulling and vertical pressing will be a nice addition

This was my routine for almost a year except for the deadlifts. I just recently added them and dropped neck exercises

>enter locker room
>naked old man, a stranger, greets me

I thought it was a meme. It happens.

>teenage skeleton occupies a bench to talk on his phone
>does some shitty form 10kg ohp every 15 minutes
>overhear him talking about his dad pays for 2 gym memberships at different places
>obviously uses neither of them

Wtf

>1/20th ROM curls
what does that mean? pls explain

He does 1/20th of a full rep. ROM=Range of Motion.

ROM is short for "range of motion", basically he jerked the barbell like a couple inches up instead of actually curling

I smell autism

>be me, lifting
>two french scientist icons walk in
>'hey, we're the bogs, how many sets you got left'?
>me: uhh, 2, but you can take my place, your highnesses
>bogs: ok, thanks

thanks for srs reply

My knees lift off the ground

you feel awkward just for talking with him? Do you care what ur gym buddies will think if you help a guy out?
damn dude ur not only a beta but an asshole too. Help out a guy a lil

You sound like a spergy kid that has no lifting buddies.

Unless you've been lifting for a while your rom is probably garbage.

>be femanon
>in the gym doing squats for my booty
>a guy sets up besides me
>he is kinda cute and lifts a lot of weight
>not as tall as I usually like but i'm thinking about maybe talking to him
>then I notice it
>he's wearing workout shoes with big heel lifts built in on the sole to make himself look taller
>i can't catch myself and let out a giggle
>he looks at me confused and then smiles a little but I can't do it anymore
>walk away and finish my sets elsewhere

I didn't even know they made shoes like that.. guys please, your height isn't the killer, your insecurity about it is

post tits

Provide assistance. Please help a future gym bro/partner/spotter.
This is your opportunity to provide assistance to the community and to make sure he showers regularly.

they're weightlifting shoes you absolute bint

man did a 60 inch box jump with no running start. He was definitely a roid monkey but still. guiness world record is 58 inches.

Autism

not sure if bait or typical retarded broad

This was recommended to me once, and I wrote it into my program but when the time came I just couldn't bring myself to do it, it just seemed too fucking dumb.

It means lurk moar

I saw a guy doing it while kneeing on a very shaky bench. That was fucking dumb.

Don't fall for it gents

...

I have a guy who does what I call "the driveby" a few times a week. All in all it takes him about 3-4 min, as he's mastered the technique. He only does it when the gym is mostly empty, as it wouldn't work otherwise.

>enter gym all prepared with gym clothes on
>go to first rack/machine
>do 10 reps
>haste to the next
>do 10 reps
>do this with everything in the gym once
>power walk out the backdoor

Has he unlocked an ancient gains ritual? Is it the ultimate form of muscle confusion? I guess we'll never know. He works out as if he really needs to take a shit.

good bait

the joke here is obviously that he drew a dick

maybe he is really pressed for time

>Couple days ago doing calf raises
>See gymcel with invisible lat syndrome and tiny legs (dude literally looked like Johnny Bravo but with lobster roid skin) approaching gym
> Make eye contact
> Dude beats his chest at me
> Walks into gym, comes over to me
> Literally says 'Bet you've never seen a physique like this before
> Shrug him off with a smirk, think he's joking
> Gives me a death stare while he walks to the locker room

>oke

>flexing his arms
Icing on the cake

I'm married and my gym partner is female. Needless to say I enjoy the post workout fuck cardio sessions.

My wife is a cuck though

99% sure this is bait, but on the off chance you're just stupid, those are weightlifting shoes. They aren't there to make you look taller they make your squat/deadlift more stable.

this is actually good bait lol

9/10

>deadlifting in heeled shoes

You dingus.

>I say hello when making eye contact with people in the lockers. Like, if it's the two or three of us there

Greentexted accidentally

Shitposted accidentally

>crying in the toilet

No little pajeet toilets are not for crying!

manlet that can bench 3pl8 and squat 4.5pl8. can't even get to 2pl8 bench. why even lift?

>gym owner is running class for 40+ year old women
>4 women in the class
>4 squat racks in the gym
>4 squat racks being occupied by 4 women all lifting only the bar for 1/4ROM
>Gym owner tells them not to go any lower cos "That will break your knees"
>5x12 with 3-5 minute pat on the back party between every set
>mfw

He wants to fuck

>minding my own business
>fixing my hair in the mirror
>guys glare at me rather than focus on improving themselves

>fix my hair again
>the same shit

>stretch my arm and mire my own arms in the mirror after a set of curls
>guys actually take the effort to use brain power to focus on me and pull a death stare rather than minding their own

>tfw so alpha im keen on fixing my hair and tensing in the mirror on just because i feel like it
>tfw peoples lives are so boring that they actually would rather focus on me and get annoyed and give me a death stare

So what is it, a 3pl8 bench or a 2pl8 bench?

i meant that i can't get to it because of my weird long arms

Still expecting the leg press machine gif. You know the one

Most if not all indians are autistic to some degree

you absolute autismo

I have done this instead of being on my phone between reps. Figured people would hate me less for being on my phone

That's because it is fucking dumb.

>doing ohp with a shoulder injury

wtf are you doing

Old Regular
>See the same older man every morning
>warms up on bike and flails his arms a lot like imagine shadow boxing and jumping jack arm movements
>does this for 15 mins then goes to fly machine and drums between sets
Also
>go in later than usual on the weekend
>see roid fag with his 6/10 gf mostly fat kinda fit.
>she records him doing preacher curls
>mfw he probably posts this on some blog with the caption 'guns 4 da honey buns' and tags his gf

>Doing bench press
>Auschwitz mode teenager powerwalks to the squat rack
>loads up 1pl8, no warmup
>oh shit this kid gone die
>starts doing this pre-workout routine, psyching himself up. Gets under the bar at one point to get a feel for the weight.
>decides that his 45s need to match, he was using two different brand plates before
>scrounges around the gym looking for a matching plate
>found it
>loads up and the he starts doing the preworkout dance again
>after getting under the bar again, he decides that 1pl8 is probably too heavy
>deloads by 20 pounds
>Yep, back to huffing and puffing

By the time I'd finished my BP and OHP and went home he still hadn't lifted any god damn weight.

>Tfw I look down on everyone weaker than myself the stronger that I get
>OHP 135 5x5 and whenever I see someone doing what I was just a year ago I ask
>"How the fuck can someone be that weak?"

The body dysmorphia is real. I like to help people when they ask though.

>Three dudes enter the free weight area
>one guy is clearly the leader of the pack as he spent the most money on his gloves, lifting belt and UnderArmour gym gear.
>buff by normie standards but no legs
>he gonna squat
>loads up 3pl8 and starts quarter squatting
>he's roaring up a storm during each rep while his two buddies take out their phones to film and whoop like a pack of howler monkeys
>he racks the weight and proceeds to hug and high-five his entourage.

Damn man, I'm glad you're so happy but it's no wonder your legs are so puny.

>Two skinny as fuck 14 year olds come in
>Start stretching on the ground by the leg press
>grab a 30lbs fixed bar
>OHP it
>keep it at lockout and start squating
Looked fucking weird. Their arms were as thick as my wrist.
