/thread

>that guy that spends 40+ silent minutes in the squat rack with his head phones in, refusing to talk to anybody and not knowing where to look between sets

>That guy who is so self conscious about looking like a fool that he invested in a home gym and became jacked AF but it did unfortunately not cure his tism so now he is 250 lbs muscle monster with the social skills of a two year old who gets freaked out by the attend and looks that people give him so he stays indoors and just lifts and eats and sleeps and grows larger with every passing day.

hits close to home

>that guy with micropenis who uses changing room so he isn't seen naked

>his tism

kek

>that guy who sees someone doing something wrong but just laughs and doesn't say anything because he's some gym elitist

Starting Strength movie by Nicolas Winding Refn fucking when?

Formal request to delete these.

>>that guy who wears basketball shorts
What is the deal with this one?

>That guy who rests between sets.

>that guy who yawns after a set
fook u

>that guy who's scared of the girls in the gym thinking he's a creeper so he spends the workout consciously averting his gaze from anything resembling a mire

>>that guy who's scared of the girls in the gym thinking he's a creeper so he spends the workout consciously averting his gaze from anything resembling a mire


fuck that's me

Can't live with em, can't live without em!

I guess since you're not playing basketball?

>That guy who wears a tank top with huge arm holes that's basically a loincloth for his torso because he has to show off his arms, obliques AND abs while working out.

Checking in too.

protip: they don't actually care, just don't be super overt about it

Why would you (or anybody else) care what other people wear when they are working out? As long as it is clean - what's the problem?
I know this is Veeky Forums and unless you're a dude in a dress or skirt or some other gay shit, it is frowned upon, but seriously - what the fuck with the dress code?

when i'm at the gym i compete

What would be considered 'gym attire' then?

anything but basketball shorts

>that guy at the gym that refuses to participate in our impromptu locker room orgies

>anything but basketball shorts
Gotcha.

...

>that guy at the gym who hasn't been seen since penis inspection day

guess he didn't make the cut

can confirm, its ok to look even if you are not a chad

>that guy who refuses to use the urinals and instead uses the stalls without lifting the seat

I'm sort of guilty to this, except it takes me 25mins to finish my set and I have a spot to look at and zone out without coming back to earth and realizing I'm staring at someone's crotch, ass or tits

One that fits properly

Like basketball shorts, amirite?

Don't be this guy. Unless you really wanna let the whole gym know how insecure you are.

I just wear a long sleeve shirt with basketball shorts.
0 fucks given in my gym.

Define "overt"

>That guy who wears compression pants and longsleeve under his cotton pants and t-shirt
That guy is me

I'd like to talk to people but everyone else has their headphones in. its not great for social engagement opportunities, besides "you using this?"

>that guy who just hangs on gym equipment instead of working out
>that chick who drinks die coke beterrn sets

I wear rugby shorts and a tanktop. I get weird looks because they are kinds short but I like feeling comfy

People have their headphones in to deter random losers trying to talk to them.

I live in a big city where there are bums begging for change and activists asking if they can have your signature just about every block. Headphones are a total godsend for me, because most of them don't even try when I'm wearing them.

Some idiot blathering at you when you're trying to lift is the equivalent of a bum asking for "social" change.

Whats bad about basketball shorts theyre comfy and cheap

Maybe if your a social butterfly it'd be nice but I'd hate someone I don't know having a random chat with me between sets.

no matter how much i need to pee i just can't do it if someone else is there

There's nothing wrong with them. This is the equivalent of Virgin posting where it's the most generic things to try and trigger people
>mocking the eliptical
Your not gonna make it bruh

They're really high school. And,
>cheap
Yeah, not a good quality.

It's like looking at the sun. You can sneak quick glances, but don't stare.

Leave and never come back.

You notice girls doing the same to you?

>>that guy who wears basketball shorts
>>that guy who yawns after a set
>>that guy using the eliptical

I do all these things lmao

this board has destroyed my confidence so much i am convinced whenever anyone turns their neck in my direction i did something stupid/laughable

>that guy who warms up with the bar
>that guy who wears beats by dre headphones to the gym
>that guy who wears a belt on a sub 4pl8 squat and carries it everywhere with him over his shoulder
>that guy who wears compression tights to the gym
>that guy who checks his phone between every set

Jeans it is

Perhaps someone like you should stick to the no eye contact rule.

What's wrong with the first one? Asking for a friend.

is that bad?

>that guy who wears compression tights to the gym

Delete this

>>that guy who warms up with the bar
No, John, you are cancer. And John was a faggot.

Oh fug you found me out

I know user, how else am I supposed to show off my cock?

>the first one
but I'm dyel.
how else am I supposed to warm up and work on my form?

Beats headphones are the worst.
"I have no taste and i'm bad with money."-Headphones

>that guy who has body dysmorphia so bad that his self image is actually worse than before he started lifting.

>that guy who does [insert widely relateable subject]
>that guy who sucks dicks

Fuck off OP

You need to fill out the proper paperwork first, user. Then it will go through review and has to be voted on by at least 5/7 of the shitpost review council to be even considered for deletion

I would have just left usually but delts are too important

>that guy who uses the seat belt on the seated push down

>basketball shorts because they are loose and comfortable
>yawn because I work out at midnight
>use the elliptical because I have an injury from my time in the infantry
>Don't drink water out of my shake bottle but that isn't something to be annoyed about. I prefer that to those people who come in with the small bottles.
>using the machines to stretch is totally fine.

>doing plyo in the free weight area is unacceptable, agreed

Then what shorts should I wear to the gym?

I do all that, what's wrong with it?

>mfw I dance in the squat rack between sets
>mfw I sing the lyrics to songs under my breath but loud enough for people around me to hear

So come talk to me about it. The gym is my playground and the only place I feel alive. I see all the peasants at the gym looking all serious and worked up, like lifting is a chore to them. I can at least feel good knowing I love this.

>that guy that whistles during/between sets. But not when he's walking around to a new workout

> that guy who works out in the gym.

I know this feeling.This one is also similar
>working delts on the machine
>hot girl in tights works out her legs spreading
>try to look slightly above her by raising my head

Stop being a faggot. If they didn't want to be eye raped they wouldn't dress like that.

this is me

>that guy who wears basketball shorts to the gym

I'm American, but I still wear the kilt, even when leg pressing.

>that guy drinking water out of his blender bottle with the ball in it

alright explain this one

do you really think i should carry a second water bottle just to appease your autism? or leave the blender ball in a locker or something?

I make it supper complicated like looking off 2 mirrors.
Once I saw a pussy while qt was on bench

>I am training for a sport I don't play

>that guy that brings his bullet to the gym
>makes shakes on the spot in the yoga room

same here, it sucks

lol myself and the entirety of Veeky Forums

Delet right now

>So come talk to me about it.
The amount of autism comes full circle, eventually leaving you not autistic.

Try to avoid using binoculars.

>that guy who looks at his phone between sets

I literally saw somebody do this yesterday. I couldn't stop staring, it was so fucking bizarre.

People don't want to be corrected. 95% of dyels think they're experts these days. I'd rather just laugh. The only time I'll correct somebody is if I can see that they're aware their form needs inprovement

>that guy who blacks the cardio bunny

This is the right answer. Know your gym and all mirror angles to achieve true natty peeking.

What about qt petite slutty cardio bunnies doing plyo in the free weight area
