what the fuck is this?

hand maintenance becomes important for olympic lifters because there's higher chance of shit getting torn during heavy cleans or snatches compared to a deadlift.
you get a callous file and grind it off completely. then you lotion up your hands.

the worst thing you can do for your callous is to cut it with a nail clipper.

>>29207612
because callouses mean they get ripped during heavy lifts which will get you some kind of infection from the disgusting gym equipment and prevent you from lifting your normal sets not because of the pain but because it'll only rip again if you lift before it heals. Do you even lift?

>>29207621

except no one who uses these actually climbs mountains tall enough to require specific lung training

You can't even make this shit up.

there's nothing wrong with elevation masks you fucking retards, it forces you to breathe harder which strengthens your diaphragm.

>>29207897
;)

People that ask to work in when you're doing something with a bar on the floor like rows or deadlifts. For one, the gym has plenty of bars that you can use yourself. It's not like the bench or squat rack where there's only one and people have to take turns. Secondly, it's a goddamn pain in the ass to swap out plates when the bar is on the floor. Fuck off and get your own bar.

>>29207332
honestly the ONLY thing that bugs me at the gym are people who use squat racks for other things than squats

90 % of the time there are regular bars available to use for bench, curls or OHP so there is no reason what so ever to occupy the only squat rack

>>29208448
>and who constantly scream "do you even lift brah" "liht weight" "fucking shredded bro".. its even more cringy since we are a german speaking country

I know that feel.

People who click the weights at the top of lifts like DB bench and DB shoulder press

>The attitude that some of them get when i ask them if they are using, or if i can work in or etc etc

Story time.

Walk into gym, it is fucking leg day here we go mates i am gonna crush some squats today alright i am pumped. Warm up quads lightly on leg extension, walk over to rack.
>3 black guys doing seated bicep curls in the only squat rack using the safety bars to put weight down on bottom of curl.
I just think to myself ok if i stand here maybe they will get the picture and realize that is not really what that is for. They do not move. I grab a spare bar and just set it on outside of the rack and start squatting. They are mean mugging and laughing at each other and just in general being chodes. I disregard and continue my workout.

>The greatest ever story in my opinion

Sitting there doing something with 40lb dumbbells, i don't remember what the weight was except it was the top tier of dumbbell weight rack at the highest weight the top tier held. An older black guy goes and picks up like a 50 or something, whatever the first weight is on the lower tier of dumbbell rack.
>He only got one
He proceeds to walk back over to where the incline seat is, and do concentrated one armed preacher curls. I am not paying any attention to him whatsoever. Just doing my reps. He finishes his set

>cont

>>29208454
yeah no thanks i dont feel like cleaning 175lb for each set of ohp you dyel fag

>Niggers
>Muslims
>Polish

>>29208616
After he finishes his set he doesn't go walk and put the weight back where he got it, like 20 feet away. Instead he decides to just set his SINGLE random missmatched weight in the only two available spots. The two spots that were left open when i picked up my dumbbells.
>The entire process of him placing the weight down etc i just stared at him in disbelief, he placed weight and i continued staring, after he put his weight down i walked over, dropped my dumbbells and just threw his 50lb dumbbell to the ground, all the while shaking my head and staring at him
To this day i still see him, and he is still an ignorant nigger

You said indians, but you gotta be Malaysian mongol which is practically the same

People who use the squat rack for anything but squats.

Yes i know there are exceptions, but when you're in a budget gym and two meatheads are using the only squat rack for ohp and shrugs for 20mins really grinds my gears.

>>29208627
all the bars come with holders that can be adjustable for height

>>29208770
Sorry brah, got ahead of myself. I corrected.

>>29207601

Oh lawd.. It's the whole power band thing again

At my gym once a month the owner releases the chickens from the chicken cage in the back and so there's chickens running around for like an hour while you're lifting

>>29207332
indians, they use the vagina machine, dont seem to have any thought or process to what theyre doing, they just move from machine to machine. for about 10 seconds a piece on lowest weight.

People using wraps or belts unless they are massive.

People who are obsessed with wiping down equipment. It's a gym, people sweat, just get on with your life. Wiping it with a towel makes no difference.

People who wear gloves.

People who wear muscle shirts who aren't massive.

>>29207695
Grow a spine and tell him, to give up his leg press or the squat rack, if he makes a scene go straight to customer service and get him banned, i already did it to. 5-6 people the last 6 months.

>>29207382
>Not putting weights on the racks in the right order

Holy shit that is the worst.

>>29207332
Otherwise, I'm fairly happy. My gym has 8 power racks with benches, and then various machine weights. There's never a wait time for a rack, which is amazing. I can do pretty much an entire workout without changing racks.

>>29208254
No joke some swole ass black dude asked me for a spot like 3 times this morning. Goddamn 3 pl8 bench. Best I've seen minus the fatasfatass lifters in my gym. Actually complimented me on my spotting cause I actually spotted him n didn't try to upright row 3 plates on his last rep

>>29208854
you're a faggot

>>29208917

Own up to which one offends you.

Are you DYEL with lifting gear and a muscle shirt?

or are you autismo about other peoples sweat?

>>29208278

I corrected a guy doing 105lb squats on the balls of his feet the other day. Every rep looked like he was going to lose his balance and put his head through the fucking wall.

Otherwise I don't give two shits about other people's form.

>>29207737

Because you don't maintain them right.

>When people put random weights stacked together
>When one of the 55lb dumbbells is missing
>When the old people turn the tv on super loud
>When someone leaves their 15 pounds of weight on the leg press
>When someone always puts the lower spotting bars up higher on the squat rack in order to do OHP or some shit
I love my small gym, almost always empty when I go. But, some of the random ass shit that is left around is just ridiculous.

>>29207382

>>29208950

>people that don't put their weights away.

I want to break a mirror everytime I grab one dumb bell but the matching dumb bell is located somewhere on the other side of the gym with nobody using it.

>that newbie PT who took the 35lb weight off my rack and put it on his client's bar without asking me
>not saying a word to him, I walk across the weight room to an empty rack, take a different 35lb weight over to the PT's rack. Take my weight off his client's rack, put the other one on, and take my weight back (which I was going to use for my next set)

Faggot tried to get me banned, but I'm friendly with the owner, who told him to fuck off and learn gym etiquette.
