Stupidest Shit You've Seen At The Gym

When you say Pulls so you mean Deadlifts? Also are hip lifts hip Thrusts?

Face Pulls > Reverse Flies

>>41120538
Pullups. Also, meant Knee Raises, not hip

>>41120624
Facepulls are on Pull Day 2

>>41120716
Any rowing there? Actually if you just post your program that'd be appreciated

Happened a few weeks ago:

>Chest day so I'm hitting bench and incline dumb bells to start
>Indian guy begins his workout close by
>He begins to superset with a pair of dumb bells from every weight in the 10 lb to 35 lb range
>Also has 20, 30, and 40 lb fixed barbells at his bench in addition to random curl bars
>Does an absolute maximum of 5 reps per set
>Looks at me weird when I stare at his bench for having over 15 pieces of free weights scattered over the floor
>One dude nearly trips over all of the shit on the floor and finally a trainer tells him to clean it up despite getting obvious dirty looks from others
>Later on I see him load up 5 pl8 on the leg press despite being a complete skelly
>Hear loud yell as he cannot keep the weight up - trainer shows him how to use the safeties so he doesn't kill himself

Guy was a walking disaster more. Also I did legitimately witness barbell flys once and it was hilarious.

>Anyways as I'm finishing up my 3rd rep on the lat pull down machine, I see this guy walk in
>He curls a bunch with some dumbells because he wants to work his biceps and this is somehow stupid or cringy
>Anyways I go to do some reverse DB flies on the machine, I do 7 reps on it before taking a quick break between sets, and look over, he's minding his own business doing his own exercises

>>41121240
looks pretty good imo, although if doing weighted pullups/chinups you should do deadlift first, less grip fatigue and less lat fatigue for bracing in the deadlift

How autistic do you to be to covertly take pictures of others at the gym and then post them anonymously on a mongolian basket weaving forum?

I want to start exercising and going to the gym, but then i remember that no matter what i try to do in there all you're going to do is snap pics of me while i'm not looking and then make fun of me in these threads.

So i stay at home and i become a skinnyfat beer belly, but when i happen to go outside you take pics of me being skinnyfat and pale and make fun of me in the other, dedicated thread for that too.

No matter what i do or don't do, the end result is always the same.
So i just gave up on doing anything or ever going out.

>>41133457
It's okay, anon. You would never have the willpower to change.

>>41133457
You're taking these threads too seriously or are just making excuses not too change.

You know what I think when I see someone like you at the gym? Good for him, he's making a change and I hope to see him around. But go ahead, let anonymous circlejerkers that only really make fun of the worst of the worst be your perfect excuse.

He held one of those handles for seated rows against the smith machine bar and moved it up and down over himself.

close grip bench 2.0?

>>41135394
This is legit for chest isolation.

its the same as dumbbell close grip press.

usually people do it on the row thingy where you lock your barbell and then just do it more upwards.

try it son, good chest isolation.

>>41135482
>its the same as dumbbell close grip press.
then why do it, the equipment isn't meant to be used like that

Most of my gym is manlets and theres a handfull of 6'2"+ guys that sliently lift and drink gallons of bcaas and they're all jacked. Also theres a guy that looks like hes straight out of prison because he only does bodyweight stuff, has an ass ton of tats, and has a shaved head.

When I first started I did some really stupid shit in the gym, like benching and squatting in the Smith machine with baby weight, supersetting with multiple pieces of equipment, doing sets with almost no rest time between and looking retarding for getting winded too soon, doing dips on random pieces of equipment, and doing really ridiculous looking leg-flailing pullups

How is this bad? It's not as good as in a squat rack but definitely not cringy. Everybody has to start somewhere.

OP is an asshole. Most people at the gym are cool and don't care, at worst they just compare you to themselves and think about themselves more.

Look at OP's post, 90% of it is talking about himself, and the guy himself really wasn't doing anything crazy. OP literally used this normal guy as an excuse to make a thread about himself.

>>41129084
I do weighted pull ups and usually put a box under the pull up bar, because jumping while weighted is too hard.

Tfw 5'7, I really don't give a fuck anymore.

>>41129411
I do this after my squat sets, is that bad?

Or is this bait?

Do you find you get much out of the bands / chains etc when lifting raw?

Makes all the sense in the world for equipped lifting where the sticking points are towards the top of the movement. But it strikes me as a waste of time for raw lifting.

Pinterest meme workouts and an unbelievable amount of needyness my friend, thats all it is. Women go to the gym in things that arent very breathable fabrics. Those tight yoga pants and shit are more likely to give yeast infections especially sweating and being gross like when your working out. Their workouts are focused around doing lewd things in the gym to have that feeling of
>look at me doing this doesnt it remind you of sex or something deviant
>no no silly boiz you cant have me just look
>no im not doing this for attention
>im just regular girl working out im humble i dont realize im actually attractive
>i wear makeup to the gym cause i want to not to look pretty or anything. Its for me not u silly boiz
Women want to be wanted just to feel good about themselves and when you realize how many hours a day they spend making sure they dont reveal how attention hungry they are its pretty hard to unsee. Sorry lads but most women are attention whores that swear they dont care about male attention.

In my head I've started calling these guys gym knights. The idea is that when they get to the gym they must embark on a quest to gather items from the far corners of the realm, inconveniencing as many people as possible so they can do their shitty work out. It entertains me and makes me feel a little better when someone has gotten every ten pound small plate in the gym so they can do their weird workout that they saw on the internet.

>>41158005

Benching, yes, but sitting in reverse so his ass is only half on the bench, and no one can spot him or help him if anything goes wrong and he has to unrack by moving the weight towards his neck.

He also has no way to move the bar to his midsection if he fails a rep and he's essentially trapped because of the horizontal bar between the 2 weight racks.

Just don't wear weird clothing or misuse machines. The trainer dudes usually show you how to use everything when you start and you can always ask some experienced guys.

The shit you read on here is not representative of any of the gyms I have been to. Everyone is nice at my one and people generally keep to themselves. You can ask for an induction when you join so they will show you how to do things properly. No one cares if you are fat, a lot of people who are there are fat and trying to do something about it.

You see some strange stuff occasionally, but everyone just leaves them to it unless they are being a total pain (taking up 2 machines, or getting in peoples way) or are doing something that will hurt themselves.

Honestly, getting caught taking pictures of people in the gym is a lot worse than most of the stuff you read in these threads

Thanks. Bayesian Bodybuilding has written about it, the last overview was that you can get similar gains to heavy training, using less time, at 40% 1RM or lower.

>Some guy doing situps, pushups, body weight squats or some sort of weird shadowboxing or sprinting from one end of the gym to the other
Could literally have done this workout at home or in some park or something
