I hope she's jacked if she's gonna be making up bullshit gym etiquette

If you are using the equipment, use it any way you want; just clean up after

Having said that, it is terribly disrespectful to step over someone elses bar in order to move through

>>38905376

MOTHERFUCKER DID YOU JUST FOOTJOB THIS BARBELL JESUS CHRIST IT CAME AND NOW I GOTTA RECALIBRATE THIS SHIT

>sport of weightlifting
>girl
The fact that im stronger than this bitch, despite doing hard drugs and rubbing my dick all over the bar, tells you something about her dedication to the sport of weightlifting.

>>38905376

>>38905376
I kick my bar before every exercise.

I also use my foot to position it.

I also straddle the bar to remove weights.

Sometimes I straddle too much and cum on the bar.

Then I piss and shit on it, because that bar is my bitch.

I own that shit. It's me v the bar.

I don't owe it any respect. I make it respect me.

What am I gonna do, be benching lmao2.5 plate one day, and be like "Good sir, Mr. Bar, I think you have me beat. Best to allow to to crush my chest now because throwing you to one side would be disrespectful, before I go tell my mother that I am shredded."

GIT FOOKED

You should have gone to OP's gym where all the uselessness rules ARE written and you have to sign a contract that you won't hurt the weights' feelings.

Who straddles the bar to take off weight? This seems much more difficult than walking to the side like she advocates. The whole respect thing is weird but from a practical position it makes sense.

>>38907021
kek

who cares

as long as you dont damage the equipment or yourself then i can't see why its an issue

>>38905376

>>38905376
>38905376

Typical female behavior. Once they get into an area of interest, hobby, industry etc. They start making arbitrary rules so they can be offended when people break them.

>>38905376
I bought at an Olympic barbell at a yard sale once for $10. Since I go to a gym and I'm not that autistic guy that brings his own barbell, I threw it up in the rafters in my garage to do pullups on. Is this disrespectful?

>>38907199
You might as well shit your country's flag then set it on fire.

>>38907233
Should I take it down, wipe it off, and take it to the gym with me? Is it too late? My garage is old and shitty, it's only a step up from being outside desu

>>38905376

Depends how I feel I'm superstitious but yeah stepping over the bar is bad juju.

>not touching it with your foot
im not risking quickly bending over or kneeling down and tweaking something to "respect the sport" if I've been lifting heavy or warming up with posture and position already

>>38906374
Yea because boris sheiko was shreddedededd, right?

It is called lifting in a homegym, dingus

Why would i pay membership fees to use a barbell when i own one?

>>38908311
You didnt say you owned a rack

>>38905376
I adjust its position with my feet if I need to, or I step over it. Literally who gives a fuck? I've never heard of anyone caring about such a ridiculous non-issue before.

>using your feet around something is disrespectful
>you can disrespect an inanimate piece of metal that has no feelings and no ego

What a dumb bitch

>>38908311

How the fuck is he supposed to know you have a home gym? the default position to take after reading your shitpost is that you bring your barbell to the gym

Never oppress the bar.
Don't shame the bar.
The bar doesn't conform to your beauty standards.
All bars are equal.
Always ask for consent to touch the bar.
Thank the bar for letting you workout.

it means you want to fug the barbell, there can be no greater honor

It's is that kind of stuff you see at serious state run Olympic gyms. So at the end of the day all you really have is a group of people pretending to be more serious that they really are.

>>38908413
t>he default position to take after reading your shitpost is that you bring your barbell to the gym
I didn't assume that at all.

Why would anybody assume that?

>>38905376
This is bullshit. A good way of testing the bearings of a oly bar is to roll it really hard with your foot. Kicking an empty bar on the floor and observing its vibration is a way of checking the elasticity of the bar. Fuck this pretentious "respect the bar" shit.

>>38908019

Yes he did, Practical Programing, Chapter V: Cultural variance in gym-etiquette, pg. 265. Right after the part where he explains designated shitting racks.

>>38908019
How do you notice these things while lifting?

>>38908560
kek

>>38912756
By having the uncanny ability to perceive what goes on 2 meters in front of me. Also, I'm not repping out sets the whole time I'm at the gym.

>>38912768
Don't laugh, he's dead now. RIP bro, although if were ever about to be shot I'd call my family and not post on /fit/ about it.

>>38905447
It seems a little creepy that this guy's working out in a playground lol.

>>38907282
What the fuck how often would that even come up? I have never touched a book with my foot. I don't think I've ever come close. Do these people just have books on the floor at their house? That sounds more disrespectful to me, unless they respect books so much that they bring home every single stray book they find and don't have enough shelf space for them but even then this makes no sense so I'm just gonna say it: you're full of shit.

>>38906266
I want a gf who I can force beyond her limits, leaving her a quivering jellyish mess, collapsed and straddling a barbell so I can tear her clothes off and fuck her stupid while she's incapable of doing anything

The only thing I can say is that some big fat cunt was in the squat rack before me today and left that poor bar COVERED in sweat. Fucking wiped that shit down hardcore before I even touched it.

This. I lift at an actual oly gym not a crossfit place (people from there have gone to the olympics, not this year though) and you wouldn't believe the shit that goes on.
If it's rush hour there'll be 3 guys on one platform all using different bars and when it's their turn to do a set they'll just push-kick the other dudes' bars away.

The only real rule of etiquette is don't walk behind someone when they're lifting, because if they fail a snatch or something as you're walking behind then the bar will hit you on the way down.

Crossfitters are retarded.
