I think I accidentally bullied a kid at the gym. Some fat highschooler

>>39210534
>85lb bench
>on day 1

thats not even bad

when I first came to the gym this other guy who looked new asked to work in. I said yes but I didn't know what that meant so I just ignored him during bench press.

>>39210534
Apologies next time you see him breh. We were all at that stage at one point

If you're a newbie, get a home gym

>>39210534
I was going to go to the gym for the first time in a while in 30 minutes but fuck this type of shit makes me so nervous.. I'm a weakling that could barely lift the bar in high school

>>39210546
Better than what I started with.

I have done similar things with beginners, accidentally feeling smug about how little they lift. Feels bad every time, I try to give simple, useful advice to them but sometimes I get too caught up in myself

>>39211835

If you feel like you're doing it accidentally, just play it off as nostalgia for your first time at the gym and give the poor fucker a little hope.

>>39211828

At the end of the day, the only people inside a gym are those who want to better themselves. If you aren't ready to better yourself today, you will not go and that is okay. Perhaps you will go tomorrow. Good luck anon

why?

because everybody started small, but we all worked through it

The only way youll ever make it is if you dont care what people think of you, especially at the gym. The sooner you learn this the better

>>39212060
This, nothings better than the growth you go through at your first gym gym, it's too emotional to pass up with a one gym. My first gym has been there for me for the original break up and the ones after the first. My first gym has been there for me for many rejections, and many failures. My first gym has been there for me for my successes and my growth.

I love my first gym and I'm glad I got to experience the growth at my first gym, it's the best relationship I've ever had.

"working in" is just someone asking to take the machine right? I've never heard it before

>>39213808
It means you take turns using the bench/machine/whatever.

You're only lifting for a few seconds to a minute while resting 1-5 minutes. Someone can easily work in.

Three is kind of a pain though, especially if everyone is working with different weight.

Terrible advice and clearly from an autist.

Getting gym bullied is extremely rare. More rare than say... school bullying. Most guys in the freeweight section are pretty fucking nice. Even OP is an okay dude, he just had a kneejerk jerk reaction; and he wants to apologize for it.

Deep diving into a home gym is a great way for a newbie to both have shit gains and set themselves up for wasting money. Most people fail to make fitness a routine, whether home gym or not. Difference with a gym membership is you can simply cancel membership. Home gym you're stuck with a bunch of shit you can only hope to offload on Craigslist for a tiny fraction of what you paid.

Also a newbie is very unlikely to invest in good gear that'll last, or even useful gear. They'll probably start like a whole shitload of people do: with shitty adjustable dumbbells that go up to a massive 25/40 lbs and dick around with shitty half-assed routines for a year and wonder why there's no progress.

Go to the gym, use real equipment, stop being an anti-social autist.

Let's face it; you're lifting for social reasons and RUNNING AWAY FROM SOCIAL SITUATIONS isn't going to help you.

>>39213958
>6am sessions
gross

Two thumbs up for crazy motivation though. I tried it a while back. I just can't lift for shit in the morning (even my Sat late morning sessions that I've been doing for two years are always the least productive session). I just don't have it in me.

Although I was speaking for the dude. I very rarely work in with people at my gym. It just happens to be spacious enough that it's not very necessary. My last gym though... fucking powerlifters everywhere. We all liked lifting with each other but seriously, we all had to really work with each other. It's a good thing we all got along. Although I met some good bros that way.

>>39212708
If you're not weak then yes.

>>39210546
That's what I thought. Shit, I started off doing a whopping 30 pounds...and I mean a cheap 10lb Gold's Gym bar with 10 plates on each side. Everyone's gotta start somewhere and this dude seemed to start off pretty good.

>>39210534
I remember like it was yesterday, after our team sports exercise we always had 30-45min session in the weights room. Our trainer noted the max rep. A friend of mine was 15 and benched 185lbs the first time we tried it. It was a bench press machine, but still

I played against some of the strongest handball players in europe from age 14-16. You have no idea what kind of genetic freaks are roaming the gyms of this world. 14-15 year old boys look like grown men. Once there were broad as fuck 6'6 twins in one team we played against, absolutely unstoppable. They looked like a different race. Both balding though, they were 16 I think

>>39212093
True that.
Just started lifting, paid a PT to teach me form in the four lifts I want to do as well as how to lift safely. Those sessions gave me confidence and I don't feel self conscious when I'm doing my babby deadlifts

>>39211797

I was OHP in a power rack when this dyel first-dayer came over to me. He asked if he could use the barbell foam roll near my rack for his squats.
I said "the pussy pad? Yeah sure mate" and reached down, picked it up and gave it to him.
He was visibly shocked at what I said and walked off.

Didn't realise what I had said until 10 mins later. I have just always called that thing a pussy pad.

>>39210546

>85lb bench on day 1

maybe for someone who spent the first 20 years of their life as a vegetable
even if you are completely untrained, you should be able to bench 50kg+ for reps as a man, probably 60kg+ for 1 rep

>Broly
>Alternate names: Broly

>>39216243
When i did squats the first time, i tried it with a pussy pad.

I had absolutely no control of the weight and almost dropped the barbell. I never used it again and i don't understand why people are using it.

>>39216271

>squat
>no control of the weight

it's not supposed to move, what do you want to control you retard?

it's called pussy pad because only pussies with no muscles in their neck have to use it

>>39212093
Gotta agree with this. Started off as a fat wow nerd sweating and turning red on the Machines and the weights. It went against my personality completely to be that willing to put myself out there

I'm legit one of the most attractive people in my gym now, I can't even believe it when I think back on it. Feels so fucking good man.

>>39216294
The pad was so slippy.

>>39216305

you can take the fat nerd out of wow, but you can't take the nerd out of the fat

probably from all the pussy juice

>See a beginner squatting one plate
>Ask to work in
>OHP it for a set of 5
>Turn 360 and walk away

>>39210534
I did this to a pajeet once and the poor guy gave me such a pathetic look. Then I covered up by saying I remember my first time at the gym and I lifted even lighter than you. He goes this isn't my first time.

Well after a few more awkward moments I became good pals with him. He even set me up with this Korean chick from his masters course.

>>39216312
That's some deep shit anon

>>39210534
Yeah, that's a dickmove. Never bully someone who goes to the gym. At least they try to better themselves.

HAHAHAHAHAH

>>39211797
Definitely not.

Gym advice is more common than gym bullying.
I'm actually upset I'm not longer in the DYEL stage because guys stopped giving form advice to unsolicited. I suppose they assume it would be patronising or I know what I'm doing.

I don't know what I'm doing.

>>39210546
This, I started out twink mode, and I get nervous when there are cuties all around me and I'm straining to get 10 reps with 2 55lb dumbbells. I usually go to 8 or fail.

I'll make it someday. Bright side is I'm 130 5'9 low bodyfat, so I can only go up.

>>39211797
I go to the gym for myself, not others. I had people help hype me for shit like ohp and deads all the time. People love watching you grow from a twig to an oak in the years you go there, because they see your progress and use it to motivate themselves.

>>39210534

This is why I haven't moved from weight machines to free weights yet. Only been going for a month or so, but I hate the idea of having to interact with other people there

>>39216515

I specifically wrote untrained you illiterate autist

there are certain values for a non sedentary but untrained adult man and one of them is to be able to bench around 50kg unless he is some kind of turbo manlet

personally I did 1 plate for reps on my first try, but I am quite tall anyway so obviously my basic lifting ability was even higher

>>39216580

>5'9
>I can only go up

>>39216499

>>39210534
I've heard people make fun of me, but I don't care. I'm in a loving relationship and I don't need shit from any strangers. I already know most people suck and I get judged everyday, nothing new. I'm going to get buff at my own pace.

>>39216864
Why is it 50kg?

Why not 47.5kg?

Just because a number is round, pretty and easy to use doesn't make it less arbitrary.

>>39210600
I benched 105kg for 8 reps day one.

>>39216864
>>39217687

Bullshit. I really did, but I am a farm boy so perhaps I dont count as untrained

>>39213958
>finish workout in 1 hour
dyel confirmed.

>>39216580
> I'm 130 5'9 low bodyfat
Thats pretty low actually. I think the max for your height in weight is about 185-190. Thats all muscle though, so slowly go towards that. That will be about the limit without roids.

Deadlift battles.

I have probs caused 5 kids to break their lower backs because they wanted to outlift / impress me somehow.

Today about 3 hours ago:

>loads up lmao4plt
>does 30second rep with most arched cat back ive ever seen

Feels bad that these kids can't leave their ego out of gym but I realized I was the same during first years of lifting. Form > weights

stop struggling with your legs and focus on your arms and chest and back.

work your triceps a lot, work your delts, work your lats and do a lot of chest work (flys, db bench, inclines) and you bench will start to marginally improve.

I'm in the same boat as you anon
