it's like you're stuck shitting in the 20th century, pleb.

>>40489083
Just squat on the fucking toilet I've been doing that since I was a kid

>>40489345
The toilet can break, don't do this.

>>40489364
How the fuck is a toilet going to break

>>40489083
>fall off my stool

>>40489370
Because most western toilets weren't designed to handle a weight distribution like that, this can cause the toilet to break, which can leave some nasty injuries.

>>40489420
>>40489370
>>40489364
>>40489345

Please NEVER stand or squat on a western-style toilet

I'm just going to assume she squatted on the toilet seat instead of the rim and that broke and cut her

>>40489083
lol
your shitty luck aside, that way of pooping is so much easier and better. Keep doing it. That stool is too tall though.

When I was just starting out I had to roll for 40lbs while the weightlifting room was full of people. It took a lot to get me to go back the next day.

>>40489899
I've had 4 cats and never once seen one eat cat litter.

> years ago got a free 2 week pass to Ballys fitness. I was in highschool and worked out everyother day in a gym class. Go to bench press at Bally's and 185lb of weights fly off the bar and make a huge noise that basically stops the aerobics class 30 feet from me. Everyone looking at me, trainers hurdling equipment running to me. Seems that in my highschool gym the olympic bars were rusty & old and we never needed and clips to hold on weights, while Bally's bars were new and polished.

>>40489124
>"e-explosive set"

Serious keks.

>>40490885
Failing to do a final rep, not being able to rerack the bar, and looking like an idiot with your face turning red trying to force it up, then giving up and dropping it onto your chest, before rolling it down so that you can get up and rerack it.

People always watch.

>>40489083
Why would you gym have those in a bathroom stall? This makes no sense.

>Gym comes to a dead stop

>Blamed this guy but never even asked him for a spot
>Walked away pissed off but actually embarassed

Luckily I'm an LA Fitness member with multi-club access. Started going to a different location after that

I continued to just do my work out and still used that gym plenty of times after that, everyone makes mistakes, everyone is human.

Just say fuck them OP. I generally avoid the 'alpha, beta' mindset that the fitness community has because I think it's horse shit. But this is a situation where I'd say you have to be alpha. FUCK what they think. Be proud every time you see them. Become better and focus on you OP. They won't be able to talk shit when you improve your lifts and become stronger than them. They can't laugh down someone who has a stronger mind than they do.

tldr; just do you op. fuck their opinion.

>tfw you attempt to move up in weight with the dumbell shoulder press and you can't even get into position.
>Go get the next lightest set of dumbells
>Do a set of 10 with relative ease.

Why is getting into position with dumbell shoulders so hard? I literally lightly panic right before I attempt it even if it's just the 25kg ones or some shit.

>>40489083
Very fancy toilet paper dispenser, I like it a lot. A LOT

>>40489662
>>40489673
taking your underwear off makes it easier to spread your legs/cheeks whilst shitting, plus being completely naked feels more relaxing in general

>>40494460
It's better to keep your legs together so you can tilt your pelvis better and tighten that core

Op here.

I try to act normal and fit in, but stuff like this always seems to happen to me.
What is wrong with me? :(

>>40489203
For sitting while changing socks/shoes

>>40496307
you're not normal, don't try to fit in. Don't try to be anything you aren't. Can you name one interesting person from history that was normal? No you can't

>>40489098
Happens to me everytime I bench with no spot. Don't sweat it and don't be afraid to ask for help. There are people who wouldn't mind, especially if they wanna use the bench next and want you off it asap

>>40496341
>Happens to me everytime I bench with no spot.
Is that something you should aim for?
Seems dangerous
