m-my friend told me to build a gym at home so people won't laugh at my little weights.. i-is that true..

i laugh at this one skelly at my gym, hes been going about as long as me and his lifts are still super shit while mine have been going up. thing is he's super friendly while im a shy sperg lord. i look way better than him but all the gym cuties and bros talk to him. no one even acknowledges my presences. so theres that.

>>41314421
is it also true you only workout in your high school gym during gym class?

>>41314445

i have never been to a gym before these past 2 months ..

>>41314433
well, no one wants to be friends with a child. Imagine adults trying to be friends with a child, pretty creepy

>>41314383
No, but we do laugh at you when you take advice from (or give to) your equally dyel friend
If you need advice on form, find the biggest guy in your gym, ask if he's ever been injured while lifting.
If yes, repeat with second biggest guy
Repeat until you find the biggest injury free individual
Suck all the information he gives you like a sponge
Proceed to locker room. If you're lucky, he'll even give you a free protein shake fortified with a T booster, to capitalise on anabolic window gains. Suck that too. Go on, suck it all up you little slut. That's right, wipe every last delicious drop
Repeat 3-4 days a week for maximum gains.
Be a good Samaritan and pass down the knowledge if asked by another Skellig down the line.

>>41314383
Definitely not.

We laugh at bad form and ego lifting

>>41314433
no. if you're in my space i'll notice you, but i don't care what you lift as long as you're lifting properly. might even give you preps down the road for sticking it out.

We can only see things wider than 30cm

We dont give a fuck about you

>>41314383
Never laughed at anyone trying to better themselves, whether you're a skeleton or a hamplanet.

Now if you're acting like an asshat, that's different (and not size-dependent)...

>>41314383
I think about the first time I maxed bench @185lbs

>>41314383
This thread just inspired me a little, lets me know that the big guys are just human beans too... if we try, are we all gonna make it?

LMAO at all the skelly's in this thread pretending they are big and that they don't laugh at dyels. Of course we laugh at you when you lift the same amount as a fucking woman. My favorite is when I do the same exercise next to a skinny little beta with 2-3x the weight they are using and just look over and smirk at them.

>>41314468
lol, when i was started lifting a bunch of old guys who were bigger than me were trying to give me tips on squats.
But everytime, the last thing they always said was, "I can't do squats anymore though because I kept injuring myself doing it and had to get surgery. But you can do it because you are young."
Always confused the shit out of me. Didn't know whether to listen or to throw all the bullshit that was just said out the window

I once had to get a guy to save me from a 77 lb incline press because I failed on a rep. After a month I started benching 104 lb, but to this day I still fear the bench press because if I fail, it's going to look really really bad.

only if you act like you have muscle

>>41314383

no. I don't give a fuck about other people.

Not at all. I, at least, commend the effort of guys doing the right thing trying to make progress. We were all there once. I do laugh at the skinny guy that does meme exercises and flexes in the mirror after every exercise though

I don't laugh but I do ask myself how it is possible for a grown ass man to be unable to bench 135 lbs. It baffles me

i'll just be honest OP, I internally sort of look down on people that weak. I know I shouldn't and it comes from an irrational and negative place in my mind. When I started at like 15 years old I was repping 1plate for 5 reps so see grown ass men who can't even get it up for 1 rep I can't help but wonder how that genetic stock even survived.

>>41314856

I can bench 104lb right now, I'm giving myself 3 months to reach 135lb , the plan is to add 5lb every week, hopefully more.. I hope I can make it.

Because I'm a weak ass piece of shit desu.

>>41314383
Only if you keep lifting babyweights for 4x12 on every exercise, never exert yourself and take 3 minute breaks to sit on your phone between sets.

>>41314873
When i started i was struggling to bench 65 lbs, 2 month later and i could do 5 reps with 135

I was only taking complex b and doing push ups every morning

>>41314944

That's nice to hear anon. I really hope I can make it..

>>41314896

I take 3 minutes rest on my 4x4.. If I don't rest I have a chance to fail reps.. Is it okay to rest that long?

>>41314383
I dont laugh at you guys, i just cringe inside when you guys try to go heavy with the shittiest form. Just dont fucking ego lift, it doesnt do anyone any good.

Oh p p please anon. I'm sorry anon. Y-y-youre a big guy. God Bless America and God Bless the NRA

Laugh more at the guy bouncing two plates off his chest with his ass a solid foot off the bench.

>>41315022
If you're lifting heavy take the time you need. I was more talking about guys like the dyel I saw at the gym earlier who took 3 mins on his phone between sets of 8kg dumbbell tricep extensions and 20kg leg curls.

>>41315064

Is it okay to take more than 3 minutes?

>>41315052
Wtf are you trying to say

>>41315126
yes.

i'm on the texas method and its not uncommon for 5x5 squats to take over an hour. anyone who says otherwise just hasn't lifted for very long.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmOEgK5o2yg

strictly for strength purposes.

>>41315126
Yes, take as long as you need.

>>41314627
>acting tough online
>makes me feel good in my tummy
>irl im just an antisocial nerd who cant look at people in their eyes

>>41315148

That's good to know anon, I realized in the past when I would do like 1 minute rests because I thought that felt long enough, but after using 2-3 minute rests I don't fail anymore.

Also this greasing the groove thing is working, I increased my pullups from 3 to 6. I might try them for my push ups too.

>>41314383
I'm too busy concentrating on my form and watching yoga pants asses.

>>41314383

Yes, and that's okay. Do it anyway.

There's a dude who comes in a fedora, boots and cargo shorts every day and I helped him with his curl form because he asked

I wish I had started skelly instead of fat, nothing feels better than cramming down 1k calories of eggs, chicken and broccoli

>>41314383
not at all. all my laughter goes towards stupid fucks loading up way more weight than they are able to handle.

Everyone starts somewhere. Nobody laughs at anyone in the gym because even the biggest guy knows he started somewhere.
Anyone who laughs at another for trying to better themselves is a beta male.

>>41315553

I'm a skele and I hate eating actually. After starting lifting I realized I have to force myself to eat a lot, so what I did was just make lot's of oats/milk shake and drink more milk in general and take tablespoons of peanut butter, in addition to food.

I used to just eat 2 square meals a day and that's all.

>>41315594
I can't even go near peanut butter or I'll down 500 calories of the stuff.

Starting fat is such a curse.

>>41315553
this

i can put away 5k every day no problem. even during my bulks i'm hungry. cutting is a bona fide nightmare and i literally dream of food most nights during them. had a dream about a pizza last night. i don't care though because it keeps me tough and able to apply myself.

Not at all man. I get happy for those guys. We all gotta start somewhere and it's just cool they decided to get fit. If anything I want to just help them out but I never talk to them because that shit made me super uncomfortable when I first started lifting

Serious lifters have an agenda. They have limited time and goals to accomplish. If you have started lifting you should soon find that part of the enjoyment is your chance to focus, push yourself to new limits (safely) in critical moments. I never judge someone by how much they are lifting. I've seen thin framed lifters lift heavy max weight or have unbelievable endurance at slightly less weight. You shouldn't make assumptions either. you never know when someone is in the middle of an elaborate routine or has already done their max and is burning out deliberately.

>>41315682
this.

gotta lol when people try to show off around me as i do my high rep warm ups then get humble fast when i squat the combined weight of their family

>>41314421
There are douchebags but that's such a low % of all gym goers. Just remember- everyone was either a Skelly or a skinny-fat cunt before beefing up.

>>41315611

My only downfall is sugary drinks, I love my soda and sweetened drinks too much. Thankfully Coke Zero exists..

>>41315722
>drinking flavoured drinks
outside of coffee, milk and alcohol, which serve a purpose, i don't understand why anyone would drink anything than water

2 sips of coke and that's enough for me for like 6 months

>>41315753
Because it tastes good to me..

>>41315786
but at least food fills you up, it provides energy, you have to eat. water is free and sugary drinks...i know i'm the weird one here but idk man i just never clicked with them

>>41315753
coffee, milk, and alcohol taste fucking terrible m8. i get all the fat, calories, calcium etc from my diet so milk serves no purpose. i've never been drunk, and don't ever intend to.
i drink soda because it's a tasty way to get in some easy calories and caffeine. i drink them in the morning to wake up, or with dinner as a replacement for beer/wine

>>41315801
black coffee and scottish whisky are god tier m8.

>>41315348

How else do you think I became a skelly. I just didn't eat like I'm supposed to. But I liked drinking soda for some reason, maybe I just have child like sweet tooth.

>>41314383
If you're following a good roitine (ss,sl,ppl,phat), doing compounds with good form I don't mind at all, we all gotta start somewhere.

If you're doing quarter squats in the smith machine, half repping bench or doing only bicep curls then no, you're a fucking vermin. You're not going to progress and you're wasting valuable space and weights.

>>41315816
no, they're both shit. i've tried countless variants of booze and wine, and they're all terrible. everything from dollar store wine to thousand dollar brandy.
>>41315869
i tried a few times in high school, but the farthest i ever got was 8 shots of vodka. i nearly puked because of how horrible it tasted, and i didn't even catch a buzz, and since then i've never drank other than in small sips when people were being assholes and strongarmed me into trying whatever bullshit they think will be the drink to convert me

back to middle school.

>>41314770
I've been lifting a few months and had the same dude bail my out twice in a day. First on flat bench, then on decline bench which is worse because it's really hard to escape from if you fail. He seemed like a cool guy who didn't think lesser of me for it, and the shame was minimal

>>41316302
bull fucking shit. i couldnt count how many times i've tasted booze, and it is never anything other than shit. the only options i see as being possible are
>1: people have different tastes
>2: the "acquired taste" line is just a lie drunkards tell each other and themselves to justify drinking shitwater to get a buzz

>>41314383
The only time I laugh at a skelly is if he's doing a retarded exercise.

Yes, but not because of the weight per se.

>tfw ultra chad gave me lifting advice, only because I was a tall skele

Nope. Most people at my gym bench 2pl8-3pl8 for reps. Even if there is sub 2pl8ers no one cares because we all started somewhere.

>>41315707
TFW have 12 people in my family.

Nice lmao 12 pl8 squat breh.

>>41315281
lmao

>>41314383
As long as you're not annoying.

>>41315866
Isn't 1 plate like a FUCKING 20 kilos? You want to tell me, that benching 40 kilos is fucking OK after two months? What the fuck is this board?

>>41316530
It depends on how many holes the plates have, but generally, for one hole plates: 1pl8 = 2 "20.4kg" discs =~ 35,8kg bar included

>my gym is nothing but skellies and women
>everyone keeps talking to me and asking me for advice even though I'm a complete dyel beginner
>occasionally some buff guy will come in, but gets completely ignored by everyone else

The main reason I'm putting off lifting weights (i'm currently on a diet and going to spin classes 3 times weekly to help me along) is because I'm terrible at knowing what a good routine is or what muscles to work on. For example I very easily overwork my arms or even abs.

Its a small gym so I don't want to be walking around like a prat and getting in peoples way because I don't know what I should be doing.

I go during my lunch breaks at work so i'd really just like to be able to go to the gym 5 days a week with the lifting on the days between spin classes.

Then once I've stopped being such a fat fuck i could re-prioritise.

>>41317603

Read the sticky. Spoiler its Stronglifts they even have an app that literally tells you what to do when. No excuses bro, just get started

Rooting for you

>>41317715
so currently i'd be having a 4 day break between lifting sessions over the weekend (thurs > tues).

Would that completely invalidate it?

Would I need to also lift on Saturday?

There's only one dyel that I hate at my gym. Two actually.

The first one isn't that bad. He's just been lifting four years and made zero gains. Not a single one. I think he's pretty much given up and all he does now is hamstring curls on the machine and stretches for like an hour. He's really nice but it's fucking annoying whenever I need to use the hamstring machine. His existence scares me into working harder.

The other one is fish mouth. He's this asian lanklet who's face looks like his breath smells bad. He does all kinds of mainlander asian tier lifts like front squats. Seen him for two years. Zero gains.

I don't think they get any protein.

I think hamstring guy is low test and fish mouth has like zero protein intake.

>>41315397
Yep that's me.

I started liftin as a former fat who cut down to auschwitz mode. Everybody hated me at my golds. They'd talk shit about me, make fun of me. Four years of consistency and I'm starting to look better than those same guys.

I have somewhat of a chad status in my gym because of it. Everyone's seen how much I progressed and how dedicated I am. I have made really good friends. I flat out ignore the chad and stacey crowd who put me down so much in the beginning. Stacey's are starting to mire.

>>41314383
no

but i would gladly take shit on normie who posts normie pictures on the internet

Been a DYEL all my life, just checked my card statement and I'm only on 115 bench after ten whole months at the gym. Oops. But I added weight today, plus I'm getting a lot better at other lifts, so I think 1pl8 is on the horizon.

>>41317852
if you can only work three consecutive days you can only work three consecutive days.
If you can make saturdays, great: you won't have to work three consecutive days.

There's no magic involved, just go and do the best you can.
