There is a "only uses the lat pulldown machine" kid at my gym. A walking meme. He had some fat half black girl with him one time. It was obvious as fuck he was trying to show off. He did like 3 different kinds of pulldowns and changed the bar like twice (for seated tricep extensions halfway bullshit). Faggot took up the machine for 30 fucking minutes. I see him come in and that is the only thing he will use.
Gavin Davis
One time in HS i was lifting when I saw one of the dyel black kids benching the bar. I assumed he was warming up. During our rest period we're chatting and he tells me that this is the first time he's benched and he can barely lift the bar. At the time I was 30% bf and my max bench was 165, I thought I was weak af but I was inspired knowing there are skinny people out there who can't even lift half of that

Don't want to be a dick and critique her form, she obviously watched some lifting vids and thinks she is a powerlifter now.
Isaiah Walker
There's been a middle school kid coming in this summer to train with this dude that frequents my gym. The trainer himself is DYEL, the kid is tiny. The kid wears a weight belt to do machine work for about 20 minutes, then his "trainer" does "conditioning" with him. This generally involves doing varied HIIT exercises in the 3 foot path in between the benches. For example, today the kid was passing a medicine ball back and forth while doing box jumps.
Poor kid is gonna end up like his DYEL daddy.

My face. Why do people do this, I talk to this guy every time we meet at the gym.

how can i start getting ATG if i feel like i just physically stop at parralel. there's nowhere left to go.
I can't air squat ATG either, i'd fall over
Chase King
Height and weight? Work on your balance anyway, do bodyweight ATG squats and use a power rack to hold yourself steady.
Ayden Bailey
I use a kettlebell as weight to keep myself steady

My dyel, 5'8 ass can do more with DOH grip and no belt.

Not sure what he was up to
Xavier Brown
Decompressing his spine.
Charles Evans
this is a decompression hang I also do them
Anthony Barnes
I've been at my gym for over a year and haven't made any actual progress due to having a good 1 month of progress and then stopping for one reason or another and then having to start back from where i started. At this point I feel like the swole guys that see me around constantly are disappointed in my lack of progress and its making me wonder if i should quit outright. 2 months ago i was benching 1pl8 3x5 finally and then i stopped for 3 weeks because of finals and now im currently back to 115lbs 3x5. Feels real bad.
Lucas Harris
I've never heard of this up until a month ago on Veeky Forums. Now I see it every time I'm at the gym.

Sebastian Wilson
>TFW ALREADY HIT 1PL8 OHP AND 2PL8 BENCH BUT STILL SMALL AS SHIT AND SMALLER THAN PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DONT EVEN LIFT. RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE
Dylan Hughes
thats probably cause thats your 1 rep max or your form is shit.when you can rep that for 10 strict you'll be swole.
Gavin Bell
Wont Change much, strength=/= size as a General Standard considering neuromuscular efficiency
Parker Gonzalez
nah , not him but I OHP 1 pl8 for 8 and I'm still small
Nathan Johnson
go to mobility in this link, is a bit hippy, but works wonders
Hold onto something in front of you like a door frame or table leg or something while you squat

I'm still debating with myself wether to warn them or witness a .webm in real life.
Brandon Clark
How can they put on twice the weight they should and still do the exercises?
You one of those 200 reps per muscle group guys?
Charles Watson
Eat more.
Luke Nguyen
Fix your bench form, and stand up straighter when you OHP

Dominic Hughes
>while dangling his legs on the floor in front nigga this feels so fucking good sometimes I can feel the lower part of my lumbar, (might be the last vertebra before the pelvis) kind of "pop", like when you pull on your finger and it releases tension, and my lumbars feel much more relaxed afterwards. I cant get it quite to work on a deadhang, I do it on the "captains chair" station
an upside down deadhang must feel even better fuck

Hunter Moore
I actually find it easier to squat deep once the weight is up there. When I warn up, and the weight is generally under my BW, it's way harder to go properly straight up and down than when the weight is above my BW.
Christopher Williams

Gabriel Stewart
Are you at my gym? Somewhere in germany
Julian Taylor
I hate hearing this. Why did I have to start by benching the bar while some manlet can start with 135?
Nathaniel Hernandez
fuck, that pic must be older than Veeky Forums makes me feel old
Angel Morales
Because we all have to start somewhere.
In the end though, we're all gonna make it.
Jaxson Thompson

Alexander Cooper
This board needs a "cardiobunnies lifting" thread. It really does. Please someone make one.
Jonathan Scott
My gym (that is usually full of pl and strongman guys, many of whom compete and win) clears out late in the evenings. The lighting is great for flexing my 40 cm fatceps after doing bis and tris. How ashamed should I be? I never do it in daytime.
Noah Morris
Break the plateau, bro! Toy with rep schemes and volume. OHP doesn't work for me with high reps, desu.
Robert Johnson
Look at it this way, you might be benching the bar a few times a week for a few weeks at most, manlets are manlets forever.
Brody Thomas
FUCKING. THIS.
Carter Powell
As long as you realize you should be ashamed, you should be ashamed. S rs.
Also +5 Man points for never even considering posting pics to social media once you make it
