What's wrong with that? I feel like I can stretch my pecs more with dumbbells.

>>38051773
Oh god, yes every fucking day. I've watched the same guys do this shit for the past few years. Every once and a while one will venture to the squat rack, load up 1 pl8 for their first set with no warmup, then proceed to quarter squat ass wink back snap for 10 reps. They'll then complain about how dangerous squats are for the next 6 months until they venture back over there.

Stop with the ego lifting, drop the weight and do it properly.

Maybe they're just maintaining what they've got and don't feel like upping calories?
What's wrong with taking awhile off?

>>38052204
Fucking this. I tell them they'll make mad gains with consistency, but they never understand.

>>38051726
Where the hell do you live

I only go to the gym to run on the treadmill. I am doing this to lose 10 lbs. Not sure if I am a normie or nuts. Besides that at home I lift the usual 25 lbs for arms and do pushups .

>>38054756
Forgot to add lunges.

>>38051372
Saw some dudes today non ironically doing 4 × 25 on the peck machine. Fucking gym instructor gives meme routines. They still do 135 for bench since I have seen them but they think they are the shit cause they are skelly and have visible abs so they keep the same weight over and over

>>38052204
Ive actually been doing that recently and I'm liking my progress. although i followed madcow 5x5 for a year or two and it still serves as an outline for my basic exercises before accessory lifts

Because as long as you get everything you need done in a week it doesnt matter. The muscles dont give a fuck if monday is chest day or if you're doing dips cause ou didnt last time. Nothing is more pretentious than other people saying you're doing it wrong while you are making legitimate gains.

>Doesnt try hard enough to break a sweat

If you can't fucking squat the weight, why even try man? He always squats after me too. (DYEL manlet, 165x5 but I go ass to grass every time) Also, this bitch nigga takes the weight outside of the damn safety bars, doesn't wear a belt, and squats on running shoes.

The rest of the people are nice though. Helpful when you need a spotter. Everyone is on a perma-bulk though.

>>38056398
This is just wrong though. Periodization and frequency of muscle use are key to consistent gains.

Not the anon you replied to, but nothing wrong with db flat bench, you do get a good work out from it. I believe he was referring to the stereotype bro who does nothing but chest/arms/back and does db bench every work out

Two old gay men who each resemble Tommy LaSorda (LA Dodgers baseball mgr from the 1990's).... they park in front of the gym on Sunday about 20 minutes after it opens, and then remain in their unwashed Mazda pickup reading the local newspaper.... finally come in wearing gardeners gloves and do Nautilus machine flys, machine shoulder presses (40 lbs total), and overhead pull downs (pin in 3 or 4th hole.)....

roughly a decade now of the same old. these dudes are in their mid 60's I think. fat and gay.

Arab with a hat: Every day is bicep day.
Terrible couple: Guy does quarter squats with a belt and coaches his girlfriend through a million meme exercises. Always leave fixed-bars and kettle bells everywhere; if they're using a barbell you know it's going to be loaded when they're done. Bitch left her gum on the squat rack once.
Cutie MMA chick: she smiled at me once and now I spaghetti every time we're within 10 yards of each other. It's a small gym.
Bald manlet: May have quit, haven't seen him in a while. Previously known for deadlifting every 15 pounds bumper plate he could find to look Crossfit tough. To complete the look he would use straps, drop every rep from lock out, and start the next rep from the top of the bounce.
Asperger's: Supersets bench press with bent over dumbbell flys, dumbbell lunges, goblet squats, and whatever else he can do to tie up the gym's one good bench for forty-five fucking minutes to do three work sets. I hate him and he knows it.

>>38056784
I feel like I might be one of those guys, as I will struggle with benching my weight (145, but I've been able to push 155 now) but can easily leg press 320, and I haven't even trained my legs all that seriously yet. Trying now though, so I don't have the chicken leg syndrome.

chest day every day

>>38057334
Lol

>>38057633
For a start leg press =/= leg strength, roughly half the weight is what you're actually moving because of the angle of the sliders, so you're leg pressing ~160. You have chicken legs bro. Squat more

>>38056896
>165x5
please don't shit talk anybody

>>38057254
I have been to asian houses were the family eats on the floor or does stuff on it, they dont like sit down by stretching their legs on the floor, they are basically squatting with perfect posture like its nothing for extended periods of time

When reading these posts I am glad that I have a home gym. At least there no one can see me, and I don't have to worry that when I fuck up or take a longer break some ass is laughing behind me. Unless the fitness witch is watching me.

>>38051547

bunch of random kids who aimlessly go over to the free weights and try curls and lat raises, fail miserably. I saw this one kid who looked like it was his second day at the gym FLEXING HIS ARM IN THE MIRROR. I mean props to him for not caring what people think but geez you can't make this shit up.

>>38057334
This is some Delray Misfits level shit

>>38057633
>Implying 320lbs is heavy for leg press

Your legs aren't strong anon, you're a DYEL in every way.

>>38057951
Yeah asians of all ages squat instead of sit.
When I went to Vietnam and Thailand this was the case. It's really good in the long term because their flexibility remains good into old age. I remember seeing 70 year old women and men running up and down ladders in shops like it was nothing.
I'm the only person in my family who can flat foot squat (slav squat). Apparently it's a skill you lose if you don't practice enough.

>>38051372
>come to gym, see gut-man cycle his life away
>leave gym 1.5h later, see gut-man still cycling
And i swear he's getting more fat too. All the sports in the world aren't going to save you if you can't stop eating and boozing.

otherwise i have

dunno much else. Free weights have a seperate room with no view on the man-vs-machine normies.

How dare you, caped baldy's routine was far more rounded out than that.

>>38051753
>>38056784
>>38057633
Worst thing is they take every single plate in the gym so they move half the weight because leg press is basically anti gravity.

They should just squat and not steal every plate in the gym.

How does someone else's workout affect you in any way? Get over yourself sperglord

I don't care what anyone else does, so long as they don't speak to me.

Any conversation outside of "Are you using this?", "Can I work in?", or "Can you spot me?" bothers the fuck out of me.
