bad advice/bro science youve heard at the gym thread

>squatting below parallel destroys your patella tendons
>weightlifting belts weaken your core
>higher reps to burn fat, lower reps to build muscle

>not posting the full webm

>Hamisphere is now ready for the 20kg plate. Puts on lap. Continues but with same latpulldown weight of 15kg.

can you fucking not?

I hope your idea of "flexed back" isn't the proper neutral position and you're walking around with your shoulders rolled forward like a terminally afflicted benchbro. If that's the case then you're the one in the wrong.

kek

I was assuming that was the case. I can't think of anyone actually mentioning how slouched your shoulders were unless you walked around with your shoulders rolled and head forward like an anime watching little dweeb.

>"uh, dude, you know youre supposed to squat with the bar on your back."
He was right and you know it

worst troll post ive seen in a while. try harder.

You have forward shoulders because you neglect your upper back.

>girls aren't supposed to squat after the age of 13
13? Where and/or why the fuck did she come up with this?

the virgin pendlay row vs the chad Yates row

heard it all.

>you should never rest more than 60 seconds between lifts
>on rows, one guy insisted that if your tows face outwards just a little bit, you're at higher risk of injury. don't think that is the case.

Just look straight at him, and say in a loud firm voice "thanks for the tip man" and give him a thumbs up
then proceed to completely ignore him
or just do this

it felt like an eternity but after about 3 minutes my bro initiated the escape and we left
why do people do this? Do they feel good about themselves?

this. im so fuckin tired of geezers at my gym telling all the young guys about their glory days. apparently every machine grandpa in my gym could "bench 500 when he was our age"

Why didn’t you just tell him to stow his shit instead of coming here to blog about it. He’s not the problem, you are with your lack of assertiveness.

Underrated post

Top kek

I've had people come up to me after seeing me struggle on squats and tell me to use the pussy pad

kek

Old people need to feel useful and proper members of society, no one minds them, no one mores them, it's a lonely life. It will happen to all of us, how pathetic we become depends on what we do now.

kek

imagine if that curlbro walked up to dmitry klokov or clarence kennedy front squatting double the curlbro's back squat and said that

bur

kek

ive been lowbar squatting several times a week consistently for the past 6 years, so i have built some pretty big glutes and spinal erectors, and sometimes when i squat in a fairly tight t-shirt, it might look like my lumbar spine is flexed when its really just the musculature making that shape. ive had literal dyels come up to me and tell me im going to hurt myself after a set of 4pl8 squats because my "back is rounded"

literally the worst thread ever

i lol'd at permabelter, never heard that term but they flock to my gym in droves and i've never understood it

fucking kek

is it even possible to round your back on a squat?

...

it's possible once.

...

Lower back rounding. your hips rise before your chest does, aka a "good morning squat" or "buttwink"

kek

This. Bonus points if you say it slightly too loud.

>why do people think that they have to teach others in the gym when they don't know shit themselves?
this is why women think there is a phenomenon of "mansplaining"
its just there are a handful of guys who are annoying know it alls who mostly don't know shit outside of their job

kek

Nah mansplaining is a thing, turbobrainlets on tumblr just gave it a dumb name. My fiancee gets autists trying to impress her with incorrect or first-semester first-year facts about architecture when she mentions she's an architect all the time. She definitely gets it more than I do when I mention my degree is in economics and I work in real estate development.
Being this type of pathetic, cringey faggot is mostly exclusive to men.

Uh buttwink and a goodmorning squat are completely different things

I understood that reference

I get the same on DL, my back is actually set correctly, I just have grossly thicc erectors and midback for some reason and it skews how my lockout looks. At least once a workout I get """helpful""" comments for it, mostly from people who DL my push press. Like, I get it, you want to help, but go away I have autism.

>Like, I get it, you want to help, but go away I have autism.

Just fucking tell him you autistic dick licker. Say "thanks chief I'm doing an exercise called Pendlay rows, which begins this way, want me to teach you?"

kek

what's wrong with the first picture

he was trying to keep her pure

It's not a Pendlay row; it's some other kind of row or starting a deadlift.

kek

>50 year old permabelter comes
WHY DO THEY DO THIS

I have people come up to me when I'm squatting 4 plate or deadlifting 5 plate, and tell me I'm too skinny to lift it and I should be careful. Then they sit there and watch me fucking lift it and then go on to act surprised but then still tell me I shouldn't so it without a belt. Now he talks to me every time he sees me. Fuck.

This is so fucking bullshit. I've met dozens of women who do that exact same thing.

Sounds like she was right pathetic lanklet
