Is there an exercise you don't do at the gym because you fear people will think you're a tard ?

I get some strange looks any time I do landmine exercises, but I give my fair share of strange looks watching people do dumbbell overhead presses on the bosu ball in the gym's only squat rack.

It's been 6 years and I developed a gym phobia. Every time I think about squats, I imagine PT drilling my ex while they both laugh.

What muscle does that work?
>>
Overhead javelin press
>>
>>39294291
That's retarded. If you wanna do that, just use a sandbag.
>>
>>39294291

Thats the dumbest exercise ever. The bar isnt even more than 70pounds, whats the point? Just clean a db onto your shoulder.

I do this shit everyday for work carrying beams and studs and let me tell you that you dont need to train for that kind of stuff.

Idk about you man, but instagram is filled with people doing all kinds of retarded things in the gym.
So if there is a stupid looking exercise you wana do just film it and somehow it's okay. Don't forget your hashtags though #beastmode #getit #gymlife
>>
>>39294291

Pin squats, block pulls, rack pulls, stiff legged deadlifts.

This and Z press I didn't do for a long time, but I started doing curls every Saturday when no one can see me and I stopped giving a fuck and just started Z pressing.
>>
>>39294333
What's wrong with bicep curls?
>>
>>39294653
It's embarassing. I don't want to be a curlbro.
>>
>>39294705

i'm pretty sure people laughs more at your squats than your curls, people don't know shit

That's a good first muscle to build though. It would help with deadlift, squats, and getting pounded in the arse

Neck curls and neck extensions.

Am currently waiting for a slow day at the gym to figure out how to deadlift and ohp. I think I understand the form, just got to do it. No idea how much weight though.
>>
>>39295001

Start with your bodyweight on the bar. Dont forget your lifting sandals!

i'm guessing it's a way to pick up a bar if you want to squat with it no rack.
i have done similar. but it was more like lift up one end bend in adjust to back muscles and pull bar straight as i do first squat.
>>
>>39295093
I THINK it is, but I'm not sure, I've seen it before though. Maybe someone's trying to force something
>>
>>39294643
I just googled z press, never seen it before, do you feel it is better than ohp? Plz tell me
More about this new press, thank you

I feel it hits the shoulders harder and it got me through a plateau on my ohp. It requires a little less abs too so it's great if you tired yourself out earlier in the workout.

You won't be able to Z press as much as you OHP.
>>
>>39295182
>It requires a little less abs too
lol no, you're leaning too far back if you think that.
>>
squats
>>
Glute bridges, my ass is underdeveloped and I want some accessory work to go with squatting
I would do them regularly if the exercise didn't look hilarious
>>
>>39295192
No man, I'm not leaning at all, I might just have not braced hard enough yet. But I feel it much more in the abs standing up
>>
>that feel when you don't do chin ups at the gym because you're a manlet, and the bar is too high

Feels bad man

Just jump from some plates or a box. It's really not that big of a deal.

I could reach the bar, there's a bench under it for that purpose, but I have too much pride

I do pull ups with a box because i use weight

no fucks given

I have even fell down from the box and landed on my ass like two times already

I broke a box one time too

Kettlebell ohp.jpg

I went to do squats one day, and the guy in the power rack was doing ohp with kettlebells with rubber bands attached. I have been lifting at the gym for a year and a half, and I have never seen this done so I didn't know what to think. A gym staff member and a gym rat went up to him and asked wtf was going on. Apparently it is in his routine so they just w/e and walked away.

Does /fit/ know anyone that does this?
>pic related
>>
>>39295789
Changes the center of gravity, maybe?
>>
>>39295789
More difficult to stabilize the bar I guess.
>>
sumo deadlifts
>>
>>39294324
You will end up in one of those asian sperg's videos. Innneeeeeeeeeer ciiiiiiiiityyyyyyy
>>
>>39295816
>>39295802
I noticed while he was doing it he was wobbling and shaking as he was pressing. I am not sure if this is good thing to do or not.
>>
>>39295859
Yes, seems like big risk for little reward.
>>
>>39294379
That story is hilarious
>>
>>39295643
Is this an exercise for people who can't afford squat racks
>>
>>39295789
Makes it more difficult to stabilize the bar, requires greatest tension, etc. I'm surprised he wasn't squatting on a bosu ball with a hurricane bar, what a fucking meme.

Pendlay rows. I still do them, but people give me the pic related look. I thought it'd be more common because of SL but not at my gym apparently.
>>
>>39294291
Not a fucking problem when you're home gym master race
>>
>>39296034
Yes, invented by a clinically insane chiropractor in the 19th century.
>>
>>39296093

that's because you're lifting a meme, bro

do dumbbell rows instead
>>
>>39295435
sounds like you have no pride desu
>>
>>39295001
Just put a plate on each side and practice your form. There's no need to do any seriously heavy weight if you're still figuring it out. There's guys at my gym who grunt while deadlifting 95 pounds and nobody gives a shit.
>>
>>39296139
why
>>
>>39296093
Bent over rows are more common. If your form is really strict then theyre probably merlen. I got to a uni gym where theres a lot of asian oly lifters and only seen about 3 people do them. 2 of the frehsman had a rounded back (probably just starting SL) and the other guy was strict pendlay rowing 185 it was based as fuck. I can only row 155 strict for 5 though.
>>
>>39295435
LOL still havent accepted your short? Im 5'7 and I just grab a box and step on it and then do the fucking exercise. It not that big of a deal. Get over it faggot.
>>
>>39294291

i feel a bit silly when i do negative chin-ups, but i do them anyway

the most tard thing is avoiding an exercise that will give you gains because you care about what strangers will think of you
>>
Cheat curls. I wanna try them to get them Arnold biceps but they look stupid as shit
>>
>>39294346
I do this and people stare every time. *everytime*
>>
>>39295789
alot of big benchers like mark scott mendelson etc. do this. It's a lot more difficult then you think because it makes your stabilizers work harder. I think Westside was the first to implement it because they do alot of accessories and variations with this sort of stuff but then crossfit caught on and just made it into a joke. Still a legit excercise
>>

>>39294379
Don't let the pain cripple you. Keep fighting and don't stop until you make it.
>>
deadlifting without shoes on because I wear squat shoes

I still do take off my shoes but only if I can find a quiet corner where no one is looking
>>
>>39294382

All of them. That's how you pick up boards in construction.
