lol fat ass

There's no leg press, leg extension, or standing calf raise machines.

That's about it. Lack of equipment.

I haven't had any problem with the people there and there's no stupid rules against dropping weights etc.

The terrible affront to my ears that passes for "music" these days. I can't stand it. They are litterly one chord songs, if they have a full chord at all. And it's all autotuned vocals requiring zero skill whatsoever. I hate it I hate it I hate it. And it's always either about "lol party party" or being a sad cunt, "wehhh he left me", "bawww she has another". It makes me honestly sad that this music even exists.

Holy shit! My video, lol. This stuff does happen and theres a reason so many people relate with this video and theres a stereotype around gymbros

I still go 3-5 times a week though

So I was looking for the most appropriate thread but there isn't one and I don't wanna start my own so i'll just post here

>be scrawny fag
>decide after reading up about exercise and diet from this board i'd actually join a gym
>go in for the first time
>no fucking barbells/ squat rack
>mfw

Ideally i'd go to a different gym but because i'm a student at a specific university I get access to these gyms for free so I can't complain. The only thing my gym has is dumbells, can I supplement dumbells in squats, deadlifts and bench press in the mean time? My logic is that since I haven't exercised for about 10 years anyway dumbells are better than nothing.

Don't really have anything to hate about the gym except two things.

1. Going absltele apsehit on the weights and some dyel lanklet or chinlet will get in my way and do curls right in front of me, that kind of pisses me off, but i pretend its not a big deal that you're standing right in front of me an just, can you go exist somewhere ese?

2. Constant worry that people will judge me for being mentally ill in the gym, I go straight hulk in the gym, with the music, the atmosphere and the anger that rises out of my just being in the gym, hitting the weight, smelling the iron in the air, and just grinding out some heavy weight turns me into an animal in the gym, when im there you do not exist, i dont grunt but i do lift heavy and sweat like a sonvabitch running away from a 1 ton dinosaur

>ITT: things you hate about going to the gym

I hate the fact that my gym built 2 8x8 lifting platforms, with a surrounding cage allowing for 4 loaded/racked bars at once, only to reserve them between 4 and 6PM so a circuit class can do 65lb quarter-squats (with bumper plates) and medicine ball throws.

>teleports behind u<
Looks like all those muscles just slowed you down, kid

Are 5 minute rests really that bad? My uni gym is packed and I always ask the dude behind me if he wants to work in, everybody says no but sometimes I feel like they secretly hate me.

>>38811923
Sure. Do it.

>>38813079
They probably do.

>>38813167
noo, why? I'm fucking dyel and /fit/ tells me 5 mins rest for heavy weights is ok

>>38813054
Is that sword from Adventure Quest?

>>38813187
How much weight are you lifting that you need a 5 minutes rest?

>>38813079
That's why I love my home gym. Infinite rest periods, my own music as loud as I want and just boxers.

Plus all hours of the day.

But yeah, rest as long as you need to complete the next set. Don't be pressured into giving up your spot etc

>>38813203
uh...not very much desu

but I'm 6'1 165 and weak as shit, so it feels heavy to me.

>>38811443
I'll bite! GR8B8M80

>>38811923
Dumbells are great and since you'll be a weakfag anyway they'll get the job done.

>>38811923
Looks like every day is chest/biceps dayfrom now on. Live it. Embrace it. Look better than /fit/ ever will.

>>38813219
So you don't need that much time. Just take 1-2 minutes.

>people doing bodyweight exercises in the only power cage

>that guy that rests 20 minutes in between sets
Not even joking

>>38810847
> Its creator makes a video about something hes never been or done that episode

>>38813278
then I can't lift as much weight

>>38813317
How many reps?

>this one literal Nu-male that does kipping pullups on the squat rack
this fucking cuck is there every time I go in and is always wasting an entire squat rack for his fucking cheat rep bullshit

>>38813334
5, sometimes I fail my OHP though and can only do 4.

>>38813054
underrated

>>38812415
high quality bait right there. is this a pasta I missed?

>>38813362
Don't listen to that other faggot. If you wanna build strength then take your time for your sets. But if your goal is volume n shit then sure go for that 1-2min rest.

I find other people in the gym really wind me up, I snapped a couple weeks ago at someone in the gym. I was on the Lat Pulldown sitting down using my phone after a set and I hear someone say "if youre not going to use it, can you move?"

I looked at him, some 60 year old dude and said "shut the fuck up, I'm checking my routine" then i held up my phone to show him (i keep an excel document to record lifts whenever I hit a new pr or something)

me: "all you had to do was ask to work in and i would've let you, why be a fucking asshole?" at this point people are staring at us, the dude tries to laugh it off and says to another elderly woman "are you hearing this?"

"oh fuck sake... grow up" I say. A staff member came over to me later and talked to me, asked if i was ok. Ive never snapped on someone in public like that before.

>>38811822
You can leave now.

>>38813299
I do this, the power cage contains the only pullup bar in the gym

>>38813079
Is there any physiological reason why I wouldn't do a five minute rest? I like to go as hard as I can and then recover until I can do that, but I typically don't because of social pressures at the uni gym to be quick.

Basically it's good for your body to have a long rest time in between sets, right?

>>38811207
>>38811212
people who can't grow facial hair need to fucking stop trying already

>>38813705
If your goals are strength-oriented, and the movement you're doing is for strength, then yes, rest as long as needed.

The thing I hate most in the gyms are the people that walk in their with an elitist mindset like they are more and better than the things that go on there

Who actually makes fun of fatties actually working out at the gym? Lifting teaches discipline and with discipline you can only admire those on the same path.

I only make fun of those misusing the gym, whether it's bad form, weights slamming, quarter reppers, 15 minuters, snapback wearers etc. It's got nothing to do with weight, if they happen to be fat so be it.
