funny story man lol

lol

everybody starts somewhere

>tfw diddlying 3pl8 and an old lady says "woah that looks heavy!"

t-thanks

Just do dumbbell bench press, no need for a spotter to really be able push yourself to your limits and it's way better for chest development.

my first day at the gym I was benching 10x50 kg.
First set I was supremely lightheaded, second set I failed at like 6 reps. I got trapped between the bar and the bench, you know. A mother and daughter (dark, kinda asian looking 19y/o 6/10 and mother) helped the weight off me

Ye I been there too user

>deadlifting 5plate for reps
>group of kids making comments to each other about how heavy it is
>I don't know how to act because they must know I can hear them
>pretend to not hear it
>proceed to do a set of muscle-ups after deadlifting
>kids make more mirin comments
>pretend not to hear again.

i wish i knew this feel.

Even 2-3 months in I could only bench 80 lbs. I don't know if I'll ever escape these noodle arms. Even when I had my fat NEET phase and was 176lbs no muscle my arms looked practically the same as when I was 120lbs on track in high school.

>tfw deadlift 4pl8 for reps, 5pl8 max
>tfw no mires

It makes me wonder why I even do it.
I can't deal with people audibly mirin and I get autistic.

>deadlifting that much weight
enjoy your weak spines in 25 years

you're killing yourself after 40 anyway right? no biggie then

I don't usually post of Fridays but buddy I love you. You're gonna make it, just keep at it

I get this in reverse. Everyone at my gym is dyel so when I ask to work in or whatever they get all intimidated and let me take their equipment even when they're clearly still using it. Kinda awkward desu, makes me feel bad

>having strong back and core
>bad for your spine

>durr putting massive pressure on your spine habitually has no bad side effects!! muh muscles get strong so its good!!
>what are spinal discs???

Ffs if you can't even bench 1pl8, go do DB press until you take up a BB

>tfw accidentely bully awkward Indian kids at my school gym

I'm not even big, why the fuck are they so beta

Did you bow to them as a sign of respect?

Yea I was deadlifting 4pl8 and started having back problems. Obviously my form wasn't perfect but what can you do. The problem is that at such high weight, ONE sloppy rep is all it takes to injure yourself

This shit is so funny.
They just walk away and go do curls or look around the gym for something else to do

>No, lifting does not increase bone density. No, bone and cartilage do not increase in strength when presented with stress like the rest of the human body. No, I don't know what I'm talking about.

m8, 99% of people with back problems in later life never deadlifted.

faggot

>>chad walks up asking how many sets left
>>t-two sets
Do all you faggots studder like this irl? i hope not.

you should have a spotter if you are pushing your limits on db bench press.
or first timer dyel will watch as his arm fails and slowly drops the weight on his face

isn't deadlift supposed to be a pushing exercise?

Some use stutters for comedic effect

>never do deadlifts
>it doesn't matter because you work a desk job and sitting all day causes constant compression of your spine
>one day you go to pick up your 4 year old kid
>you never did deadlifts so your lifting mechanics are non existent
>the compression from years of sitting finally takes its toll
>herniate a disc lifting your child because you never strengthened your back

This OP, most of us have had embarrassing gym moments

>my body has no limits, as long as I work heard everything will get stronger and better

99% of people never deadlift

Neither of you are smart enough to understand my arguments

faggot

Show me someone with chronic back problems who was a powerlifter.

Sure, shoulder, elbow and knee problems are common (but thats true of most athletes) but back problems are not. Joints are what get fucked by pushing limits. Cartilage and bone are generally worn down due to lack of use, or other, non athletic related reasons.

I think i would do the same if i was in your situation. But if i had to say something i would probably tell them "try lifting this" and then they end up walking away and laughing at how awkward i am

No, you fucking cretin.

>Show me someone with chronic back problems who was a powerlifter.
Layne Norton, Eric Lilliebridge, Ronnie Coleman... etc etc

There are countless powerlifters whose backs are completely fucked up, with bulging discs and everything else.

Injury =/= chronic back problems.

no I gave them a dab instead

wow why didn't that faggot chad help you? fuck that faggot

Yeah.......0.5 pl8......lol

yeah you sure need to dl 5pl8 to pick up a kid lol

Dude you push away from the earth and leave humanity behind. Spotted the dyel.

An american kid

top kek
