Activating my core by curling while standing on a bosu ball or a dumbbell. Why do retards do this?

Some fucking moron walked up to the curl rack, loaded up the bar and proceeded to balance it on his neck. He looked immediately panicked and kept trying sit down while we were all screaming out of concern. Eventually he gave up and put the bar back. Poor guy was red-faced and out of breath afterwards.

Idk why but I always fall for this.... Maybe it's because I envision a curl rack as the rack for all the various dumbells.

Shadowboxing in the free weight section with 0.5 kg dumbells

>be on the assisted pullup machine
>some girl decides to step on the assistance

Some dude wrapped some chains around his legs then hopped over to the Roman chair to do leg raises. My friends and I refer to him as Jacob Marley now.

Do you guys go to anytime fitness? I see both of these, and I raise.

>Stands in the middle of the Walk way
>Does single leg kicks as high as his head for reps
>Switches legs... Leaves

A chest supported dumbbell row? Maybe you should go to the gym for more than six weeks before taking pictures of people at the gym.

deadlifts

shit old dead pasta

Spinal lengthening

Friend made me do these. I thought those were meme as fuck and just wanted to do heavy shit instead. I still think its a meme exercise but holyshit did they give me solid doms.

barbell farmer walks

It wasn't an exercise, but I went to my gym on base and I saw 6 dudes sitting in a circle using 3 benches curling together

A legit curl circle

I wasn't really sure how I felt about that

lmao dude you go to te same gym as fucking batman

>grow... grow...

Anyone got the barbell flies image? That was fucking hilarious

Second motivation is to make it look sonewhat impressive when curling with 20-30lb dumbbells.

sumo deadlifts

fucking kek at jacob marley

>SpyPhoto_184552203.jpg

Found the creep gym idiot that takes hidden pictures.

Incline treadmill handstand walks

kek

hahahaha both made me giggle

This is so stupid and it seems to be pretty popular
I'm convinced the only purpose of it is to stick your ass out to the entire gym. I tried it and by the time you're getting any semblance of glute activation you're having to grip the bars for dear life to prevent yourself from just... standing up.

Fitworks Stow, Ohio confirmed

What are rear delt flies you fucking autist

i saw someone at the gym doing lying cable bicep curls

Is this bait.

hey i saw someone doing that on friday

show me the face of the skinny potential qt in front of purple beard master roshi

deadlifts

I go to the same gym, and I con confirm that she has THE nicest ass I have ever seen.

That's what I thought he looked like at a glance

...

spinal decompression is a very legit thing to do though

Discus throw with a 11 lbs plate.

Yes, it went as expected.

You laugh now but wait until you face him in the wheelbarrow race

...

Now, now. You don't expect /fat/ to know about legit exercises, do you?

sometimes im tired and need a lie down, but still want to get a pump

Ok, can someone explain to me what type of assisted pull up machine you guys all have?
I keep seeing weird ass descriptions.

This is a assisted pull up machine.

>Implying California isn't objectively the best state

Not that guy, I have seen the same setup but instead of a cushion there is a foot placement so you are standing and the weight assists.

a girl stand in it when someone else is using it sounds like an intentional thing to mock the person doing pullups.

The glute part lost me, I think it wasn't a pull up assistance machine

Is this guy natty?

Women do a meme exercise where they place one foot on the pad and push down using their glutes

WHY DO THEY DO THIS? I SEE IT ALL THE TIME

Why not just do squats?

its a shirt tucked into his shorts

No, he is bald.

...

Just Dom's fans. I'm doing that sort of shit too when I'm lucky to be alone at the gym.

its good for your balance

I have never used an assisted pullup, how does it work???

does this not work your glutes?

It's a machine that has a platform that pushes up.
You kneel on it and it pushes up, making you lighter

It's not a stupid workout but whenever I see anyone walking backwards on a treadmill I cringe

>It's not a stupid workout
>walking backwards
What?

Is this what gyms are like in big cities?

It has benefits, especially for athletes. I coach highschool footballs, and we would routinely do this with our DB's.

At the gym tho, fuck off with that shit.

I see this all the time.
Its really fucking stupid, but it's a machine that's barely used anyway so its like, why bother telling them to do something else.

If they'd ask me why I care, that would be the ultimate counter, I'd be burned for weeks probably. Best not to bother.

>when gym radio blasts Michael Jackson

>how to do weighted smooth criminals

>last rep, spin

Bait?

>Crunches while dumbbell pressing
>homegym
>only one who uses it kms

If you do enough reps and push hard enough weight with your foot: a bit.
Out of all my glute exercises this one feels the least effective though.

...

good post

Alan Thrall does the exact same thing and recommends doing it

Ew user, I don't wanna get too bulky ;)

You guys are making me feel insecure about not lifting
Is it okay that I'm just a runner who does HIIT on the treadmill? 5'0 18f

>self-proclaimed runner

just fucking how?

Hey, if her heart rate reaches red for 30 seconds and then she walks for 90, it counts as HIIT in my book. Doesn't matter if it's 15 or 25 km/h

no, you have to lift.

Even minimal lifting will have great results for you.

Do squats.

I wanna put a babby in you

That's not dumb, it just makes you look like a faggot

Fuark!

kek

Lmao I'll never not laugh at his videos

You're already big

You are not running properly. Otherwise you wouldn't be fat.
