Why are women so hopelessly addicted to meme workouts?

...

Because they would get bores of doing bridge lunges and squats

No thinking for themselves

There's this lady at my gym who literally spends maybe 2 minutes tops at different cardio machines, jumps around in front of a mirror, and then rotates through everything again

wtf is this shit?

Because how you look doing an exercise is just as important.

Because of the widespread belief that the physiological difference between men and women translates to a need to different exercise routines for men and women. And whenever you look up "exercise routines for women" on the internet or a fitness magazine, it's always meme exercises.

Like, I saw a bitch doing some kind of stepping exercise on the assisted pullup machine today, and I really wanted to go over and tell her that she was using the machine wrong and she'd be better off using the stairmaster for what she was trying to do. I didn't do tell her though, because it didn't look like she was at risk of hurting herself and also because I'm a pussy.

kek, this reminds me of the fusion dance from DBZ

its not about the workout
it's about whoring themselves on IG

>No thinking for themselves

This. Basically, a female can lift for 5+ years, but the moment you tell her to build her own routine she will stare at you blankly before copying something from some hoe on IG like OP's vid.

How do I know this?
I'm married to one of these hoes.

This isn't always the case, though. I see women doing goofy shit all the time without recording themselves.

Is the sex good?

Meh.

its more about making a video that looks like the intro to a porn than results.

They're practically making shit up at this point.

Sounds like a lame marriage

>spends maybe 2 minutes tops at different cardio machines
they could be doing sprints...

Most women want the simplest and easiest shit without having to work for it. They want to be told what to do because it's easier to do that than looking up legit exercises.

They also still believe that using any weight above 5lbs will cause them to "grow large disgusting muscles."

Are plyometrics a meme workout? (jump squats, jump lunges etc)

It's even worse. If you volenteer to make a good routine for them or adjust their current one they'll just say "but i like that one! / But i don't like that one!" Amd if you then come with many alternatives to said workout they keep interfering. It's ok if you don't want to use a certain excercise, but you can't neglect certain muscles, while heavily training others. Such imbalance will fuck you up.

why would they be?
gotta practice speed or jumping to improve these things.
bodyweight still counts.
cardio.

Because woman are not except to have any kind of reasonable body.

They are applauded as long as they are not a fat fuck which has caused woman who who are just average or thin to be seen as "fit" by other woman.

So now these woman go to the gym and do stupid meme workout shit and achieve absolutely minor results but these minor results are seen as a 10/10 achievement perfect workout.

So then they just follow these stupid woman on yotuube and instagram and do what they do.

tldr;
Woman are stupid and are not expected to be able to do fuck all with their bodies so anything other then fat fuck is a big achievement for them so other woman do what they do.

um coz i'm a woman and now im scared that my work out is a meme

Well at least its not my wife.

She gained 20-25kg since we were married while I have always stayed lean with muscle, or slightly chubby with muscle.

She joins me over the last 1-2 years 3 days a week in the gym. Over the last 6 months in particular I have lost 15kg and am now pretty much otter mode by lifting and doing HIIT for 15-20mins after each workout.

Meanwhile she uses the leg press doing 5 sets of 10 within the span of 2 or 3 mins (I have told her to increase the weight every single time we go) and does the lat pulldown for the same reps and time period (Again I have told her). Her weight has not increased once in a year on the equipment.

The other 40 mins is spent either on the bike or cross trainer where she will "Workout" with her face glued to her phone. She is not making a single bit of effort and it is not different then if she just slowly snail pace walked down the street.
Not once is she out of breath or even panting or needing to drink water.

She is still 20-25kg overweight and has not gone down once.

Just last week some guy on the train stood up for her because he thought she was pregnant. This was STILL not even enough of a slap in the face for her to realise she is doing shit wrong.

They only care about the people watching them, not the actual workout.

You can do burpees or something like the OP pic as a warm-up or finisher to a real workout. But you're still going to need to lift enough weight that it stresses your muscles if you ever expect them to grow.

Ask yourself this question: What about my body do I want to change? Once you have the answer to that question, it's easy to make a routine tailored to addressing those issues.

>um coz i'm a woman
oh yes then you're doing a meme workout.

>She is still 20-25kg overweight and has not gone down once.
an app for calorie counting probably best solution.
good luck introducing that tho..

...

This tbhqhwyf

I dunno OP, her body isn't a meme
but get your fucking feet off the bench

Same reason 60% of crossfit is made up of women

Yeah I'm just in a cut right now (went from obese to healthy BMI since the start of this year, so 26 kg lost) and I have no idea what I want my body to look like/ what my body even will look like in 12 kg time. I guess I'm just going to keep up my cardio focused/ body weight work outs with dumbbells at home and then decide what aesthetic i even want once i'm skinnier and know what i'm working with and then decide if i want to brave run-ins with this bunch in a gym -__-

Attention. Attention Attention. Attention from looking weird doing it. Attention from talking about the fad workout with their friends trying to make them feel like shit. Attention is always the answer.

Read Verkhoshansky if you want to know about plyometrics. He's the guy who invented them.

Jump squats and jump lunges are not plyometrics tho. They're just an explosive movement. Depth jumps are what you're looking for.

I'm not gay, but I'm starting to find this slutty female shit to be annoying

>slits on compression pants
>doing whatever exercise gives you a reason to stick your ass out
>doing retarded meme shit like in OP's post

this is some captain ginyu dance shit what the fuck

thanks friend

>using 2 benches

>shoes on the bench

See, the way you work your legs is by going into extreme lordosis then doing box jumps. Gotta confuse those muscles.

Is there a gym with a strict "no thots" policy?

Do you compete in a sport? If yes, it's not a meme.

I'm convinced these thots pick their workouts based only on what will get them the most attention from other people in the gym.

It's called Guy Heaven

No I don't compete in a sport right now, heck am I a meme????? I don't have access to a gym so I work out at home body weight exercises and dumbbells. Intention is for overall general fitness purposes and fat loss is my focus right now but I would like to build muscle and want to maximise the workout I can do with the equipment i've got (myself, dumbbells up to 7 kg, and one of those booty bands which i'm 95% sure is a meme)

You're just now arriving at this conclusion?

>an app for calorie counting probably best solution.

She uses one.....

Jesus Christ. Women's lib was a mistake.

She's wearing some expensive shoes for her dumb shit...but she looks mad beaner so they're probably fake

Who cares. She's got a great body so its working for her.

Spoken like a true beta DYEL

You're the kind of faggot who recommends something that doesnt work just to sound smart. I can tell.

@43521264
Don't ever fucking respond to me again you pathetic piece of shit

See She doesn't really have a great body. It's just better then whats considered acceptable womans body by society.

If a man did a meme workout which was equivalent to hers then he would still have a a body which is seen as an average mans body.

I don't have that problem, she listens to my advice and follows my routines. The problem is getting her to stick to something for longer than two weeks before taking 4-8 weeks off. Last time she came to me like "I need a new routine" because she didn't like SL, and found some retarded split that didn't make any sense. I didn't even bother because I knew she wouldn't stick to it and guess what? Two weeks later it was 8 more weeks of sitting on her ass.

At least she's thin.

>She is not making a single bit of effort and it is not different then if she just slowly snail pace walked down the street

This is my wife to a tee. Doesn't break a sweat, is surprised when she does like the one time she ran a mile around the neighborhood.

What's the weirdest trend you've seen gym thots doing?

I've been noticing a lot of women at my gym getting on their back in the smith machine, putting their fucking feet as far apart on the bar as possible and basically doing a leg press. But they don't use the leg press. They all use the smith machine.

That's it Veeky Forums, I'm starting up an anti-thot gym. One rule: No skintight apparel below the waist. No yoga pants.

This kills the thot.

lurk moar

>Not having THOTs mire your gains
>Making it

Pick one

I see them walking around in nothing but sports bras and spandex underwear. They then proceed to set up an obstacle course of trash cans, benches and plates which ends by a machine.

They will then jump over the trash can like a hurdle, do a single dip on the bench, do a few step ups on the plates then running as fast as they can to the machine which is only 5-10 meters away at the most for a break.

God forbid you get in their way or move something because she flip the fuck out and need to make sure everyone in the gym knows that they have made their own course which they are testing to record for youtube and instragram later.

Also theres some female PT whos irritating as fuck with the most obnoxiousness force convorsations with her clients. She makes them do bosu ball shit with weights.

how does that need gloves

>7kg
Just do calisthenics if you're going to halfass it.

It's so they can get more attention.

As long as a women is in reasonably healthy shape, she can be attractive. Assuming she wears make-up to cover up the fact that most women are ugly without makeup.

I believe that was popularised by Fred Hatfield, but I can't remember what exactly he called it. Having said that, if you could name a gym thot who knew who Fred Hatfield was, I'd be impressed.

Can someone put tekken 3 music over this?

Fuck. New signups at my gym get a free three days with a PT. The gym is really new so our squat racks have a fucking backboard on them, and the PTs will take their clients over to them and have them THROW MEDICINE BALLS AT THE BACKBOARD, CATCH IT, AND THROW IT BACK shaking the whole fucking rack, and they DGAF if there's someone in it. Makes it really awkward for the person they're "training" too because they obviously know they're interfering with someone else's workout.

>medicine balls
I hate these things. There's some geezer at my gym who does joint exercises by bouncing the fucking thing as loudly as he possibly can and he always seems to wind up right behind me when I'm doing compounds.

>Rep
>BOUNCE
>Rep
>BOUNCE

I'm going to kill him.

Why the fuck do women always act like children? My mom, cousins and girls I've been with all act like that. They won't learn or do shit if it isn't urgent.

Old dudes can suck a dick. There's this boomer faggot who converted to some meme eastern philosophy nonsense and does these weird fucking thai chi movements right in the middle of the fucking gym while holding on to weights. He gets in the way, looks and smells dumb as fuck, and is a smug faggot who calls everyone "youngin" and tries to tell them to not lift so heavy

Reminds me of this mid 50's white guy who does nothing but yoga and thai chi while dressed in some yogi outfit.

Does he do it in the gym despite not using any of the equipment?

You can always tell whether an exercise is effective or not by if you see a lot of women doing it
See mostly only men doing it = good exercise
See mostly only women doing it= shit exercise

because it actually makes them look like attractive women not like centaurs

>Why are women so hopelessly addicted to meme workouts?

It's not just meme workouts, it's memes in general. They're also addicted to meme diets. Meme fashions. Meme music. Meme politics.

The real reason for all this shit is that in the past if a woman was pregnant she couldn't hunt and forage for herself. Women depend on social bonds for their children to survive. Those with the stronger social bonds see their offspring survive. In the past mothers would often die in labour, if there was no willing and lactating women to surrogate your offspring die. Lactating is also incredibly energy intensive and mothers would have required social support even after birth to stay healthy.

That's just the reproductive part of it. Women are about half as strong as men on average, they therefore rely on the support of groups for survival. They cannot defend themselves 1 on 1 against a man.

Women require social acceptance because it has helped them in the past. Men meanwhile found their offspring flourishing most when they provided the most in resources. More food meant your women and children were stronger and healthier. So men have excelled in production; agriculture, industry, etc.

This is also the reason why capitalism is preferred by the masculine and socialism preferred by the feminine. It all goes back there.

Women are in a perpetual meme war for social acceptance and this is why they're all total bitches.

Two words:
PRINCESS MENTALITY

...

you guys are giant idiots, you don't have to pay attention to every little thing that annoys you. you're all rationalizing why this persons "wrong" about something they're doing within their own life, which they are perfectly allowed to do, instead of working on yourselves.

No you dofus. He uses the mirrors to check his form.

It sounds sexist but it's true unfortunately. This can be applied to the majority of things in life.

I can't really think of anything that you can see the majority of woman only doing thats correct.

Hell they can't even give birth to children correct due to c sections.

>make up while working out

but what about the hidden camera, user

Um they know men are recording them user.

not at all mate, i lift at a commercial gym and every girl there do romanian deadlifts and sumo deadlifts. Bitch weights yes, but at least they are doing it.

>paying attention other's routines
never gonna make it

>ok sex
>retarded gf obsessed about meme workout and other retarded IG fitness chicks

Are you... Me? I feel you, user
n-no homo, ofc

Wait a minute what is the purpose. I mean come on man that won't get you any more butt attention than normal squats will it

It seems to be working for her desu

Not that user, but same here too. I tried to make my gf do compounds, SL,SS,PHAT,PPL,U/L, she never made past one month, then proceeded to fall for some instathot meme workout. Never increased the weight by herself, and quits once it gets hard. She told me once she likes squats, i gave her the matt perryman's squat everyday, she never touched it.

fucking U N R E A L™

Sounds interesting, any studies on this?

What hurts the most is that over the years I've given her a shit ton of solid advice and it's all in one ear and out the other. I still have to constantly correct her form on everything.
She ever ask you to fucking spot her on a 115lb squat only for her to fucking give up after 2 reps on the first set and then start screaming and crying because you're judging her even though the day before that she squatted 110 for 5x5 no problem?

at least you're honest bro

Kek I mean at least her form is on point

First thing I thought of desu

ayy lmaoo no, but i could totally see it coming. Mine just won't increase the weight without me bugging her. But once it feels hard she drops it. Seriously, I give mad props for whoever is coaching female athletes, if they are 10% as bitchy as my gf, it's going to be hell

they're women

We still don't know what you're doing with the equipment, but your workout is probably pointless with just one set of light weight dumbbells and a band.

>Seriously, I give mad props for whoever is coaching female athletes, if they are 10% as bitchy as my gf, it's going to be hell

There's a reason only women and fags use PTs.
