Anyone have stories of trying to help DYELs/fatties get Veeky Forums? Will Greentext mine.
>Was 130 6'2 in highschool, hung out with a bro who was similar >I got Veeky Forums but he stayed the same >Asks me to show him around the gym and whatnot >I need a spotter so figure why not >Take him to the power cage >Walk him through proper form, get him to squat the bar until I'm satisfied he won't go to snapcity >Load the bar up, stick my weight on and do my set, then unload everything except for lmao1pl8 >He can't squat lmao1pl8 >140lbs >Bring the weight down until he can lift it, he squeaks out 8 reps pic related is him at the bottom of his set, refuses to go further >Go to the bench >Benches 8 reps with 90lbs, goes down to 80 for the remainder
Anyone else blown away by how weak normies are?
Jeremiah Reyes
Damn 90 pounds is pretty low for beginner, what's your bench max at??
Wyatt Hill
I'm doing 200lbs by 10
James Reed
200 pounds 10 reps?? What's your bodyweight
Thomas Jones
Around 190
Lucas Carter
on each side?
Ryan Harris
Total including the bar, so it's 75 on each side
Nolan King
His stance is terrible, why did you let him do this
Aiden Roberts
I told him to fix himself and he kept telling me he "wasn't flexible enough'. I asked him if he knew how fucked up he was and he told me he had inflexible genetics. His form was perfect with just the bar desu
Lincoln Sanchez
This - his feet at practically touching.
Jordan Turner
Bitch ass motherfucker, why'd you let him perform that rep like that?
Hate cunts like this who wail on "normies", being a true bitch is not showing up to the gym, coming to the gym, doing a squat like that, with that weight? Bro he's got more balls than most of us. Using a photo of a bro too? WTF man.
Justin Peterson
I told him he was fucked up and he wouldn't fix himself, what else can I do?
Easton Williams
Then don't take a pic of him or laugh at him man just wait for him to realize he was wrong, I mean you're the reason why fat losers lose their will to go to gyms
Kayden Sanders
>Total including the bar
Ryan Lewis
I took the pic to show him how fucked up he was.
Isaac Roberts
>trying to get someone to squat lmao 1pl8 right off the bat with no prior gym experience
Are you genuinely so out of touch with normal people that you think most could do this?
He should have started out with the bar and gone UP.
Jordan Stewart
Because he should only be lifting the fucking bar!
Please stop trying to help him out because you're endangering his well being.
Chase Morgan
geezus get him doing bodyweight squats and pushups and pullups and shit for awhile before hitting the gym. I mean he can hit the barbell but really beneficial to get weightier and more mobile first...
Wyatt Richardson
You take noobs to the machines, the dumbbells, anywhere they can push weight and build confidence to come back first. That way theyll have some pride and WANT too use proper form later. Fucker
Landon Bennett
maybe if you weren't useless you would tell him to widen his stance so he could hit parrallel without having godlike mobility and leverages
Logan Scott
I did, he told me he wasn't flexible enough He wanted to squat more than the bar and I trusted him to be able to
Ayden Martinez
>wanted to squat more Then you load up 25s and let him do a set. If it goes well then load up 34s and let him do a set. If it goes well then etc etc. You really expected this guy to suddenly be able to squat his bodyweight after only practicing with an empty bar?
Jayden Long
That's why I spotted him then took the weight down
Thomas Harris
>he doesn't include the bar
Ayden Morris
You're a shit friend, m8. You've probably turned him off of lifting
Ethan Jones
This is a story from a while ago, he's been working with me for a few weeks now
Adrian Powell
I'm pretty sure Op is trolling...atleast I hope so.
Alexander Cruz
That is single-handedly the worst squat form I have ever seen in existence.
Oliver Perez
Man you're a terrible coach. Please put down the creatine and let him read the sticky
