Gym has less than 3 people

>mfw gym owner catches me masturbating with a 15lb dumbbell up my ass

>Working out in an empty gym is bliss.
This.

Many such cases!

>small town
>two gyms
>one is a new one with machines that almost everyone uses
>other one is a soviet era leftover of sorts, only frequented by old men or a few younger lads actually serious about lifting later during the day
>always go there as soon as they open
>essentially no one else around except for the owner who comes and checks up on it every once in a while
Feels pretty good tbqhfäm. This is as close to a home gym I can get right now. If it weren't for some children's wrestling practice next doors I'd just work out in the nude or in my boxers.

>gym has two squat racks

Foo Fighters?

>you're the only one at the gym

>24 hour gym with scan entry closed for Irma until Monday
It's empty in there, I bet it would be so comfy to lift inside. Little bitches closed it with little notice even after the new path predictions put it farther away from us.

Anytime fitness?

how do you do it

all this awkwardness, you and 2 other people occasionally eyeing each other and spewing out forced hellos

how do you not drop spaghetti instantly

My gym has only one squat rack
i'm not meming, either there's like 3 ppl squatting together or one guy who hogs the rack all to himself and says "few more sets"

>1pm
>only me and one other guy in the gym for the last 20 minutes of my workout
>go into locker room
>like 7 dudes in there getting dressed
perfect timing

>go in locker room
>full of bags, shoes, towels, clothes
>gym is empty

Ignore them or do as I do, just look pissed off so they leave you alone

Same, good thing literally noone here uses it.

>forced hellos

>only go to the gym at night so I dont have to interact with anyone
>get there one night
>right after I walk in, hear the door open
>turn around quick and see some milf walking in
>we make eye contact for a few awkward seconds
>dont know what to do
>"RAWWWK! HELLO!"-say hello like a pirates parrot for some reason
>she looks down and walks out

>tfw whole lifting crew trains together for 2-3 hours on Friday evenings

feels good man

God I wish it was only 2-3 people in my gym.

That was a long time ago.

>glare on phone if not glaring at something in gym
>occasionally talk to brother in Russian on phone
>everyone gives a wide berth and no one interacts with me
It's great, I can get in, do my two hours, then go back to anime and ignoring the world.

>campus blocked off / crowded asf for tonight's football game
Guess I'm running today..

Who cares as long as it has more than 6 plates

The gym is the safest place during a hurricane.

>all the weights weigh down the gym
>winds can't knock it over
>start squatting lmao3plaet during the hardest winds
>weigh too much to be moved

Just imagine squatting in the eye of the storm. Would there be a better feeling?

Is it even worse for basketball? My parents went there for grad school

...

>forced hellos

who does this at the gym

i have literally not talked to anyone in the gym besides an old guy and the gym staff in 3 years, whats the point

man the gym is best when there is no one there
>waiting on equipment to open up
>listening to curlbros grunt after every rep
>the guy who thinks he is cool and has to stare everyone down before he deadlifts 800 lbs
>fat people on the treadmill for 10 minutes

the only thing better than an empty gym would be one filled with a bunch of hot girls killing squats and lying leg press

Just give them a nod. That's literally the absolute most social responsibility you have on your part, you fucking autist.

tampa bro here. gym closed

I've had grills putting a mat on the floor right in front squating rack while I'm using it to do their retarded yoga exercises
Shit is fun for a while but after a couple sets it's a pain since I can't focus on the lift with her ass at eye level

user...

And then you go home and sit on Veeky Forums while the rest are already banging each other.

I wish my gym was like that. We have one rack and 2 flat benches and one incline bench. It sucks working in or waiting on equipment.
My nigga.

why I never go for my PR alone

Who fucking talks at the gym? Go in do your workout and leave.

>just me and some other guy in the gym
>he was there before me
>start doing some squats
>look over and see he is lying down with his eyes closed on the bench press
>think he is doing some advanced rest between sets
>10 minutes pass
>start wondering if he died benching when I wasn't looking
>30 minutes later he wakes up from his nap, does one more set at the bench and walks out

Swans, also

>empty gym

nigga its confirmed having a hot girl around results in a male being able to exert more, she helpin you out

Can this actually happen? Has anyone died from being pinned in any lift???

he doesn't have clips on so that shit would have just slid off

>going to UK
>not NKU, the patrician's school

Stay mad, collegelets

>college gym during summer early morning after it opens
>some days there'd be literally 1 other person there and the people who work at the rec center occasionally wander in the free weight room
>about two weeks into classes
>have to go at 11 mid day on tues/thurs
>8 flat benches all busy when I walk in, 4 power racks always taken and people using the empty space around them too

Holy shit take me back from this hell

Is it safer to lift without clips?

Asking for a new friend.

If you're going above weight you can easily lift, yes, or if you have very good form. The idea is that if you got injured/otherwise fucked up, all the weight would drop off instead of suffocating you

Alpha male.

>Oh no, there are people in my vicinity. I can't normally carry on doing what I'm here to do.
When did this board become /r9k/?

Kid at school (highschool) died that way. Dumbass.

>gym has 1 squat rack
>always go to gym around 22-23 at night
>have never seen anyone using the rack except for me
>idk what's wrong with the people there

Home gym masterrace there's never lines for anything and I can work out and grunt as much as I fucking want.

Sounds blissful

>gym has less than 3 people

>Tiny overcrowded gym
>Want to do BP
>Middle age woman is occupying the bench
>See her piling on plates to over 100kg despite being DYEL
>Wait in confusion to see her move the weight
>She lies down and grips the bar
>Uses it to anchor herself as she begins doing leg raises
>She does this on the bench for literally 25 minutes so I have to change my whole workout

>>the guy who thinks he is cool and has to stare everyone down before he deadlifts 800 lbs
If i could dl 800 pounds, i would stare down people at the gym tbqh

I've been lifting for 5 years and not ONCE in all that time have I seen a women using the bench properly. The most I've seen a women bench is 40kg, that's including the bar.

If you're going that light just use dumbells you bitch and stop taking up the equipment you're supposed to go heavy on. I mean if you're benching 30kgs like most women I see you're not getting any chest at all, it's all arms. They should do flys instead. But no, they just HAVE to take up the bench for 15 minutes doing fuckall.

>>She does this on the bench for literally 25 minutes so I have to change my whole workout

The Beta Routine Detour vs. The Chad Work-In

>barely more than 4 people
>suddenly bunch of frat rushing fags arrive at once
>all benches/bars/machines taken

going to uni gym sucks

Caused by a gap between the safeties and the rack

4 members... Close enough.

I'm on an acquaintance level with almost everyone who I regularly see at the gym. Whenever I see them I say hey [name] how's it going or I ask them about something in their life. Why would I not want to get to know people?

>weights section tiny portion of my gym
>Always crowded by like 5 dudes all doing pretty much the same workout
>Rest of gym is wide fucking open with like two cardio bunnies at most on machines

I wish my gym was empty.

Arcade Fire.

I work out at a 24 hour gym and going late is a godlile feel

until the only other guy there hogs the squat rack, even after i've done sets of dead and bench

fpbp

ive noticed my gym is also almost empty on fridays

i must be cursed then

>forced hellos
I never understand people that think like this.
It's not even autism, normies do this shit too.

What in the living fuck makes saying hello "forced"? Are you this scared of strangers or do you care this little about everyone around you?
Greeting them is a simple acknowledgement of their presence, nothing more nothing less.
Fuck, you don't even have to say hello. A simple nod with perhaps half a smile is suffice.

>tiny gym
>usually its just me
>If anyone else is there its to use the cycle or treadmill or rowing machine.
>on two occasions I have had 1 other guy "lifting"
>can hardly do my routine because on both occasions these guys don't believe in resting between sets
