Taking up a prime real estate to do a set that has nothing to do with the bench press. Thats fucking blasphemy

>>39682338
That set is probably like 40 second long. Just ask here to move when she finishes you autist.

People squatting & benching on the Smith machine

>>39682338
Is she supersetting? It looks like she has dumbbells on the ground to do dumbbell bench presses.

People watching one person for their whole rest period.

Like fucking do something, use your phone, drink water, something instead of rape-watching a person for 2 minutes.

>That guy who squats a lot but doesn't go below parallel

This really rustles me because before I was home gym master race, there was a DYEL faggot who took 3 pl8 during gym busy time and used it to squat 1/8 ROM.

Actually once I saw an extremely DYEL man who looked exactly like Richard Simmons take literally every 45lb pl8 in the gym except the one I was using to do weighted chins, and he loaded them up on the leg press. There were so many pl8s that he had to rest 4 of them behind the foot plate because the bars were full.

Then he did a few reps of 1/8 ROM and that was it. I know it shouldn't bother me but I can only imagine these people bragging to their buddies BRO I SQUAT 315 or BRO I LEG PRESS 1080

You new? How would you dump the plates if there are collars on them?

>>39682404
Maybe she's barbell benching and only benches the bar?

How much do girls usually bench? IDK

>>39682502
What about Crunch anon? Thats the same price

>>39682320
She's out lifting him

Speaking of which, I am irritated by impatient fucks. I was once using a bench and taking a 60 second break between sets (I use a timer). I was logging my previous set on my phone and some DYEL faggot walks up and asks me if I'm done with the bench. I told him to gtfo.

I used the bench for maybe 5 minutes total so it's not like he had been standing around grinding his teeth while I took forever.

What a dumbass, those are used to build up your grip strength not put them on a barbell

there is this old man that will come to the gym dressed not for lifting but just a casual grampacore, talk a bit with the p trainers (seems they know each other) and then goes to the incline bench and takes a fucking nap for 20 minutes

>>39682432
You only use clips if you have a spotter you can rely on.

If you're by yourself, that can be worse in the sense that if you need to get some heavy fucking weight off you real quick but you can't, you're fucked.

It bothers me that people pay such poor attention to their surroundings around people benching. If someone is putting up at least 2pl8, you need to watch if they need a quick spot in a situation or watch out for falling 45's

This but it also distracts me from my workouts and the guy never seems grateful when I help him out when he's clearly struggling.

People walking in and out of the sauna like theyre fucking cats. Also turning the temperature down before they come in while Im in there.

Theres also an old ass man that comes into the sauna exclusively to towel dry himself off.

What the fuck bros.

>>39682313
When I think I see the cool black guys laugh while looking in my general direction.

What is it? Is it my form? Is it my scrunched up Lifting Face? Am I ugly? Am I DYEL? Is it cuz of my fitted white boy workout shirt? Is it my cool gay hair? Why are you laughing at me????

>>39683153
If you're lifting weights where failure is an option get a spotter beforehand or use a bench that has safety bars. It's not that hard to not disregards everyone's safety at the gym because you're too autistic to speak.

Why does every woman who lifts do stupid fucking supersets? If there are 3 women at the same time in my gym you can bet that 80% of the equipment will be "in use"

>>39683265
Getting a spotter beforehand is good, sure. However things can happen on weights that you can normally lift by fucking up breathing or something happens. I've almost dropped my bench on my chest because my elbow cracked on the top of my lift.

The bars thing doesn't hold true for every gym, unfortunately.

>>39683236
Luckily they usually call out for some help or ask to keep an eye on them before they start. I've had to jump in a couple times to get a bar off some guys chest because he was turning purple and couldn't really ask for help at that point.

I remember going into the machine room to warm up, I find a machine and head to it and I get interrupted by a femanon that I know works there, but lacks the uniform. She says shes super setting. I look around and its a crowded gym but I say fuck it and back off. I keep an eye on her and she was super setting: Lat Pull Downs, Butterfly Curls (machine) and preacher curls. Didnt make any god damn sense,. Left a shitty yelp review and called out the slut. I wont let there be a next time

I have no issue sharing the (only) bench in the gym especially because I take a while if I'm going heavy, but if they want to adjust the pegs / starting position it gets a little annoying.

There's this fucking autistic dyel vegan marathon runner with baggy sweatpants and lifting gloves that goes around the gym starting conversations with people mid-set. It doesn't matter if they have headphones on or if they're doing a really heavy lift, he'll start a conversation with them. He goes to the gym for about 1,5 hours 4 times a week or so. And every god damn time he's there I never actually see him doing any lifting. He's always talking to someone, and the person he's talking to always looks mildly annoyed.
Fuck I want him out of my gym.

We used to have some fuckhead who did the same shit at my old uni gym. He'd always walk up to my gymbro and I and just talk to us, try to correct form ("Hey anon, lat pulls work better behind the head"), and load up a bunch of weight on whatever we were doing and do an 1/8th ROM and say "Don't worry, you'll catch up eventually."

Creepy fucker also used to go and talk to the chicks doing cardio and "spot" the weight lifting grills. Just all around a piece of work.

There are benefits to stopping at or above parallel with heavy weight, not every squat has to be a full ATG.

I go to the gym at 5am 4 days a week. A lot of times I'll walk in and see a rack with a bar loaded with plates but no one around it. Usually this is from some late night jackass that was too lazy to deload, and there's no issue with me taking the rack and doing my thing.

But surprisingly often I'll walk over to the rack (after 10-20 minutes of me doing other stuff but the rack remaining unused) and start to setup, some faggot comes out of nowhere and says "hey man I was using that".

I want to shoot this person in the head and fuck the brain hole.

>That kind of buff guy that makes his girlfriend record him SHIRTLESS while he does 1/4 ROM on several lifts
>that guy quarter behind the neck OHP'ing in the smith machine hitting the upper limit of the rails
legit saw these recently.

At least it gives me hope to see the sheer amount of buffed af retards doing every lift incorrectly, it means everybody can make it

>>39682630
So you just wanna be a sad count bro?

I kind of stopped giving a shit about what people do in the gym around me. Quarter squats even stopped bothering me.

The only thing that still bothers me is seeing people brag about their lifts when they're either actually pretty shit or done with like 1/2 ROM.
Plates being put up in the wrong order used to bother me but it's so awful at my new gym I can't even worry about it anymore.

Actually now that I think about it my gym itself triggers me because of the totally shit equipment, but I've just gotten used to it. It's a good thing I train there and get a free membership because I'd hate to pay the ridiculous prices they charge for a bunch of machines and barbells with no knurling.

There was a guy last week doing pull ups in the cage last time I went, I worked in squats with him and although he was a nice guy about it, he insisted I take bar off the hooks every single time so he could pull up using the bar on the front of the cage instead of the bar on the back of the cage.

For what reason I have no idea

He then went on the do barbell rows on 1 of the 2 bench presses we have, putting the bar on the safety rails between sets

I was pretty triggered

There's no reason to omit clips, ever. Unless you're using a Smith machine, that is.

Let's get this out of the way:

When racking weights on the tree, is it better to put the heavier plots on top and the lighter on the bottom?

Or put the traditional light ones on top and heavier ones on the bottom?

>>39687284
heavy at the bottom.

big weights on top cover up smaller weights on the bottom, and get in the way.

>>39687284

i think the default standard is heavy on bottom and light on top

personally i don't give a shit if they're top or bottom as long as they're not mixed with other weights

Honestly man, you can just talk to the salespeople at a decent gym, e.g. 24 hour fitness, anytime fitness, etc. Tell them you don't want to go to planet fitness and say you can only afford $10-15 a month. They're really flexible since it's a fixed cost business.

lmao I saw this at the gym the other day.

Dude had 3pl8 but he had a fucking bench in the rack, which he would pause to sit on at the bottom, and wasn't even at parallel for him.

I'm sure he thought he was really fucking cool, too.

>>39687668
a three plate paused box squat is nothing to sneeze at, and is probably supplementary to another lift. why you heff to be med?

>>39682338
Today this chick, who I've never seen before, rolled out her yoga mat between the two squat racks effectively blocking anyone from getting at the end of the bars and weights for both racks.

Didn't help that she dragged 4 Dumbbells and placed them around her to completely barricade herself between the squat racks.

>>39687692
I just step over and around people who do this shit. Their bullshit is no match for my crippling lack of social awareness. I do roughly the same thing to people who lay down yoga mats right next to where I'm deadlifting.

>>39682383
I don't do it on purpose, I just autistically watch people deadlift and squat and judge the shit out of them for rounding their back in the slightest but then don't say anything at all about it.

>>39688664

Depends on the purpose of the movement. If you're programming for hypertrophy with high volume then go ahead and cheat, it's usually going to be better for your goal than failure. But if you're trying to put up numbers on your atg squat then cheating rom is inefficient. You need to acknowledge technical failure so you know when to deload.

Nigger, you're wasting both our time.

That Guy stories?
guy at the gym where I used to live we called Mr. Perky, as in percocet, because he had to be on something. I worked graveyards and hit the gym after, so I was always there around 8am when I'd see this guy. at least one pair of shades on at all times, often more. always listening to music, no buds, full on beets by dre that did not come off for routines. not that he had a routine. did his business in workboots, laces undone and pulled loose as fuck like he'd really rather be wearing slip-on converse. his 'business' consisted of swinging back and forth like a fucking gymnast building momentum for an olympic set on the dip stand, fully locked out, some light cardio, and taking selfies in the bathroom mirrors. this was like ten years ago, this guy may have actually invented the selfie.

was back in my city years after leaving, saw him walking down the main trendy shop street, just belting out his fucking showtunes or whatever at the top of his lungs, ten o clock in the morning, made my entire weekend.

Crew of faggots come in and think they own the place when really they spend most of their time talking.

Put the pins on the outside of the rack. I have to do OHP there sometimes when the squat racks are taken

people that don't deadlift or squat.

You seriously think you are going to build muscle without deadlifting and squatting?

Went to the gym all hyped up today ready to do 5 sets of squats followed by 5 sets of deadlifts when I notice this guy using the leg press. I walk up to him while he is mid-set and say "bro, you ain't gonna make gains doing that". He was like "wtf bro, go away". At this point, I got really mad because he wasn't taking my advice, so I decided to grab a bunch of 5-pound dumbells and started throwing it at him. He got really mad at that point, got up from the leg press and started yelling "wtf are you doing you fucking idiot". "Do squats", I replied. He was about to go really apeshiit but then the manager walked up and told me to leave.

people that don't squat and deadlift make me so mad. You are just hogging up the oxygen in the gym.

This. I've seen people come in fully clothed to the sauna to stretch, others who bring in books to read and others still who come in to leave to come back in to leave...

Why in the world is everyone so afraid of conflict "Hey I knew this bench for bench press, can you please move?"

"Hey I need this area for deadlifts, can you move please?"

and if they don't move.. then do the exercise right next to them or take over anyway. Because you're in the right. And they're in the wrong.

>>39682313
We've got this guy that tries to dead lift in the only squat rack. Now keep in mind he isn't removing the pins and using the bumpers at the bottom to make it easier to load plates.

Oh fuck no, instead e's keeping the pins at the top, resting the bar on it, loading up plates, then pulling it off, dropping it on the floor, and then starting his sets.

After he finishes he then hoists the bar back up on the pins. Keep in mind this dude is 5'7 and the pins at the top are like 2 inches above waist so he's basically on the verge of snapping his shit up every time he fucking reracks his deadlift lmao. Hands down the most retarded thing I've seen besides the nigger doing OHP that involved keeping the weight directly above his head and moving it up and down 2 inches.

At least when I ask big guys they don't do this.

Picturing someone yelling "go fuck yourself" after a lift has me fucking rolling

What's wrong with this?

>tfw go to the gym after 10 pm so don't see much crazy shit go down

Weirdest thing I saw was some dude deadlifting but releasing the bar at the top of his reps. Is there a valid reason for doing this?

>>39694922
You mean eccentric

That girl with a 10/10 ass but with a butter face.

Not op but I use pre-workout on days I just feel off or I know my job is going to suck ahead of time before I go in (mailman 11 miles a day 4k calories burned) I drink a ton of water during my workout because I'm going to be limited from drinking water during my work day.

I also have a protein shake after working out for protein because I have to go to work and it's quicker than making eggs which I make before I go to the gym.

The only meme I feel for was explaining myself to you for some reason. I think it's because I hardly talk to anyone during my work day, mainly just stray cats and dogs.

she is not in the kitchen

>le supine grip, feet way more than shoulder width apart, bouncing 4 plates off the ground with belt deadlift manlet

I lift bitch weight because I'm a drunk fuck but at least I have good form

people asking me if i'm done with a machine while im resting between sets. Happens atleast a couple times a week.

>people giving shitty advice to friends and/or people they don't know
I sometimes tell people to tuck their elbows in when benching so they don't fuck up their shoulder like I fucked up mine...

No. Overhand grip with the bottom of your knuckles at the 3 o'clock position. Backs of your palms should be vertical. If that's killing your hands, do forearm exercises like wrist curls/farmer's walk. Mixed grip is okay for >100kg but you should work to overhand it

I browse /fit/ between sets. I guess we all have our vices. I'm in accordance with the rest of your list tho. They tried to set me up with some free trial with a douchy trainer when I signed up. I stood him up.
>mfw that was two yrs ago
>mfw I've transformed my body since
>catch him mirin in the mirror

Fuck you for caring, you probably don't even lift

>>leaving weights on the ground
I can tolerate not reracking, whatever dude, but i shouldn't have to pick up after you fucks.

>>doing weird fictional "exercises"
Two small stories.
>>see 2 kids walk in, maybe 18, weigh 90# combined
>>grab 10# dbs, and flatbench
>>start doing this hammer curl+row motion
>>like scooping from a tall bucket
>>wat

>>grill working out, doing leg work
>>goes to hack squat leverage machine
>>gets on backwards
>>puts her face on the pads, ass way out in midair
>>doing weird curved back bending over motion
>>what in the GOD DAMN

He's obviously trolling

For better or worse, I take advantage of this.

>Get to the gym, every squat rack taken
>Go to the one with the smallest DYEL freshman at it
>"How much you got left?"
>I-I uhh, t-this is my last set

I feel kind of bad, but they're usually low energy betas anyways.

>People who use wrist straps and a weight belt to deadlift less than 500lbs

If your core and forearms are too weak to handle that weight, then you should be focusing on improving those muscle groups first.

When some faggot says to another faggot that they're looking really fit

And they reply with "I guess I'm a lucky guy "

The second one is actually a decent way to use that machine she probably just had shit form

>>39682372

I military press in the smith machine only because I'm coming back from shoulder surgery.

Guy who works off the bench. Guy who throws his towel on the weights. Guy who hogs multiple sets of weights. Anyone who screams. Anyone who slams weights down (most likely you faggots).

When people use Olympic bumper plates on the bench or the fucking smith and you're looking to do some deads.

"The smaller black 20kg plates weigh the same as the blues"
"Yeah but they FEEL better bro"
Have to weight to warm up because mongos like the colours

>Nothing I'm so low on self esteem that I think everyone has a bigger right to be there than me

You won't get to be the biggest with that attitude.
