The gympocalypse is coming...

>>39521803
A while ago I realized I was strong enough to wield a barbell as a weapon. You probably are too.

>>39521803
We wait until sir puts up a new years comic, laugh about it, then complain for the rest of the year about how many new faggots are there.

>>39521803
just go in early for a month or so.

these people lack discipline and display sub-par amounts of willpower, they'll still be in bed.

>buy lots of water bottles and gym towels
>arrive at gym the moment it opens
>but bottles and towels all over eqipment
>tell gymbros that they mark safe spaces

This way, the newbs will all thing the equipment is taken

Nothing really, just keep training like i do normally minding my own business. Try to be nice to people if they ask for help with any exercise.

>>39521803

Been going to the gym for like 4 months, do people actually all show up at new years? I kind of thought new years resolutions were a meme.

>>39521870
beware the groups of DYELs.

i suppose you'll blend in with them though.

>>39521870
They are a meme, and the meme is people going to the gym for 2 wees and clogging up equipment and making you afraid to stand close to them lest they toss a db at you

>tfw go. to a tiny gym with regulars that have been going for 20+ years

feels good

>>39521870
Huge increase of people in January / February, especially if you go to a Uni gym. They all disappear in March though.

I'm migrating to a weightlifting gym full time. Never stepping foot in a commercial gym again.

Sucks to be you, OP.

>>39522102
where did you find one of those?

>>39522119

There's one right where I live.

>>39521803
>mfw small but decent gym
>tfw go 1h30pm, most people working
>tfw only me and more 1~4 on the gym

>>39521803
I write "squat to parallel or get out my racks" on my gym chalkboard.

It has caused a grand total of 2 people to fix their form. It's not world-changing, but it's enough.

dont fucking remind me anon.
my gym is one of those expensive ass gyms with all the bells and whistles.
i can already see all the rich fucks come blasting through the door with ther PR's and shit, knowing they arent gonna go to the gym for over a month.

fuck me...

Ive been lifting for 7 months, and will be experiencing my first new years as a lifter. Is it really as apparent/bad as /fit/ mentions?

>>39525439

Just go at non-normie times. I usually go to the gym at 9pm.

>1 will make it
>you'll make shitty threads about it for the next 5 years

>>39521835
Did you add a spear attachment to it?

It's not January I fear.
It's when the high school bros get off in summer, that's when it gets real.
Dumbells thrown around, kipping pullups, not re racking weights etc etc

>post a "some of you guys are alright, don't go to the gym tomorrow" meme last year on Dec 31st
>get permabanned from 4chan cause mod is a fucking newfag

>2 months of benching in a power rack
No explanation needed

>2 months of no ez-curl bar
For some reason it seems to be a favorite among newbies

>2 months of asking people to move from the platforms so I can deadlift
They can do their stretches, kettlebell shits and bodyweight exercises literally anywhere

>2 months of doing dips
will be impossible to get a free bench for skullcrusher-pullover hybrid

>2 months of weights scattered everywhere
>2 months of people hogging multiple pieces of equipment
m-muh supersets..

Yaaaaaaay...

>>39521847
i go in early every day so this wont affect me

>>39527251
>2 months of all the power racks being full because of the squats for ass meme
FUCK

>>39527340
Oh yeah, that too. But that type of crowd tends to be concentrated more around school start and the first 3 weeks of summer.

At least the regulars have an understanding to trade equipment when possible / let other regulars cut in line if people are forming a queue to bench.

Not like new normies are going to whine. They just take it in seething silence.

>>39524932
Man, you got the right mindset, you're gonna make it

>>39525027
At least their newfound self confidence won't be riddled with insecurities

>>39521803
>Dad gave me his treadmill after "upgrading" to an elliptical
>Spent some of my Christmas bonus on some free weights

Never again.

>not being homegym master race


any year

I lift in a black iron gym where there is only 1 treadmill and it's hidden in the corner. So hopefully i'm safe.

Most people stick to the cardio equipment or dumbbell/machine area in my gym. Our clientele is more middle aged and barbells were never that popular with them. Also new people who have no idea what they're doing usually give me equipment when I ask how many sets they got left. I'm not even huge or scary, they just know that they're just messing around and I'm not.

>>39521870
My gym I work at makes twice as much money in January, half of that in February, and in March we're back to normal. I checked the books and it's been like this for many years.

>go to a 24 hour gym
>generally work out at 10:00 pm or later
>just me and a couple people on treadmills
>resolutioners are all gone by the time I'm there
Feels good; you're working out wrong if you don't work out past 10.

>>39530205
>weightlifting equipment in bedroom
Why do people do this?

>>39521870
I don't get it, really.
The surge of new gymgoers is usually in april, when habitual curlers decide to to "tone up" quickly.

Go gym at 6:30 when it just opens
As I always have done because I'm still self conscious about my lifting.

>>39530205
Prison inmates have more interesting rooms wtf man.

>>39521803
I go to the gym at 10:00pm. I think the most people I've ever seen at the gym is like 15. It's pretty nice

>>39530205

So far I have a barbell and some plates and would like to get a rack similar to yours. Just ordered a rowing machine so I can get some do some cardio while being a shut-in this winter

>get tired of this shit
>chain gym buys out my private owned gym and closed their old location
>2 gym's worth of people now go to my gym
>buy home gym
>about to start working out in 2 hours

only thing i can't regret is not being able to do oly lifts or a higher ceiling for muscle ups.

Will the NYRfags affect me if I go to work out at 6 am when the gym opens at 5?

uni gym for me is hot and heavy in August and September than cools out the rest of the time.

If you're already fucking huge, then just offer to spot every scrawny guy you see. Stare at fat men. Make it obvious that you're paying attention to them. Ignore women. Make them all self-conscious.

They don't want to be at the gym. They're only there because they resolved to get fit while they were half-drunk, and they're just dying for an excuse to go home and post a witty Facebook status about how they beat their personal best time to abandon their New Years resolution.

Will the holiday lifters bring me a hot crossfit gf? Probably not..

>>39527251
Fuck, my uni gym doesn't have a deadlift platform and I'm just hoping the nice Indian and Muslim folk don't have NYRs cause if they do the only place to do deadlifts will be dogpiled by these clowns every hour of the day.

>>39530299
Because they live with parents or live in a small apartment. Hopefully the latter

>>39521870
This is not a meme.

I repeat this is not a meme.
