I only go between 11 and 1 pm on weekdays because it's pretty much empty and I work nights so it's basically my morning workout at those hours and I never to on weekends because it's packed

This past Saturday I went on a weekend for the first time and holy fuck it's so packed with people doing ridiculous exercises that you can't even get a proper workout because everything's in use

Some scrawny black dude was rapping into his dumbbells between sets last week when I was there at 2am. Guess that's what I get for working out at a budget 24hr gym lol

Though the description is funny, he may have been (attempting to, at least) doing calf presses?

Well at least you tried to participate..........

>>40051061
>>40051128
I like ab crunches. But the rope should be vertical. If it's as diagonal as in your picture, you have to pull too much in the wrong direction.

>>40051260
I am not a fan of this exercise. I feel like my body weight is doing most of the work.

>guy doing ohp
>instead of reracking after his final set he drops the weight, takes off the plate, and curls the bar up
>puts plates back on and repeats

>tfw that's me because of a shoulder injury

>>40051268
Then you use too little weight. I'm doing it with 50kg for 4x10 and I definitely feel it.

>>40051205
doesn't sound like a bad routine. maybe some horizontal pulling and vertical pressing will be a nice addition

>>40051205
This was my routine for almost a year except for the deadlifts. I just recently added them and dropped neck exercises

>1/20th ROM curls
what does that mean? pls explain

>>40051383
He does 1/20th of a full rep. ROM=Range of Motion.

>>40051383
ROM is short for "range of motion", basically he jerked the barbell like a couple inches up instead of actually curling

I have a guy who does what I call "the driveby" a few times a week. All in all it takes him about 3-4 min, as he's mastered the technique. He only does it when the gym is mostly empty, as it wouldn't work otherwise.

>enter gym all prepared with gym clothes on
>go to first rack/machine
>do 10 reps
>haste to the next
>do 10 reps
>do this with everything in the gym once
>power walk out the backdoor

Has he unlocked an ancient gains ritual? Is it the ultimate form of muscle confusion? I guess we'll never know. He works out as if he really needs to take a shit.

Went to check on my le epic funny post and apparently someone reported it and a mod literally removed it. What the hell it was fucking harmless lmao what has happened to this board

>>40059652

Similar thing happened to me today only he put the bench right beside the squat rack getting in the way of the bar path.

>guy comes into the gym
>squats 3 sets of 5 reps
>benches 3 sets of 5
>deadlifts 1 set of 5
>leaves

>He keeps coming every day lifting paperweights never gaining anything except the aroma of better men
I don't know if it being pass midnight is partly to blame, but I laughed until I cried.

She might have removed it herself because she was harshly downchanned and mansplained to

>>40054428
Yeah, I've only ever seen girls do this. Bretty gay for a dude

why do you need the squat rack to deadlift? You're the worst kind of person, taking the power rack for multiple exercises resting an hour in between each set when gym only has one rack

FUCK YOU

>don't want to clean the bar up every single time i ohp, so i go to the squat rack to ohp
>"hey man, how come you're doing those in here? I wanted to squat"
>explain to him
>"but you can do those anywhere"
>just pretend i'm squatting in here then, fuck off and let me finish my workout i just told you why i'm using it

people, man

back to /fa/ggotville, fuccboi

>benching
>after second set i feel a poop coming
>rush off to the bathroom for minute and a half max
>come back and a guy has taken the bench despite me leaving my towel on the bench and water next to it but oh well, I wasn't there so whatever
>guy starts doing what looks like deadlifts but with just the bar, from a resting point on the bar
maybe it's some new fangled workout i'd never heard of but it looked weird and useless as shit

>>40063166
*resting point on the bench

>use bench for incline DB press
>both benches taken by some grills, but it looks like one is done
>walk up and ask if she's using it still
>"what? oh, no i'm done, you can use it"
>get dumbbells and sit down to start my set
>other grill starts yelling to the first grill, telling her that she in fact was not done, and that i shouldn't get the bench
>ignore it and do my first set
>walk around while i rest just because
>come back and the first grill is on the second one's bench doing stuff
>second grill is in the one i was using
>whatever she's working in
>minutes pass and she stands up and starts doing things in front of the bench (bending down and shit RIGHT in front so i can't sit)
>has stared right at me multiple times while i'm waiting/resting
>finally get fed up and tell her to move off of my bench
>don't walk around the rest of the sets

annoying desu
