>tfw diddlying 3pl8 and an old lady says "woah that looks heavy!"

t-thanks

>>42222245
Just do dumbbell bench press, no need for a spotter to really be able push yourself to your limits and it's way better for chest development.

>>42222245
my first day at the gym I was benching 10x50 kg.
First set I was supremely lightheaded, second set I failed at like 6 reps. I got trapped between the bar and the bench, you know. A mother and daughter (dark, kinda asian looking 19y/o 6/10 and mother) helped the weight off me

Ye I been there too anon

i wish i knew this feel.

>>42222245
Even 2-3 months in I could only bench 80 lbs. I don't know if I'll ever escape these noodle arms. Even when I had my fat NEET phase and was 176lbs no muscle my arms looked practically the same as when I was 120lbs on track in high school.

It makes me wonder why I even do it.
I can't deal with people audibly mirin and I get autistic.

I get this in reverse. Everyone at my gym is dyel so when I ask to work in or whatever they get all intimidated and let me take their equipment even when they're clearly still using it. Kinda awkward desu, makes me feel bad

Did you bow to them as a sign of respect?

>>42222530
>>42222477

Yea I was deadlifting 4pl8 and started having back problems. Obviously my form wasn't perfect but what can you do. The problem is that at such high weight, ONE sloppy rep is all it takes to injure yourself

>>42222501
This shit is so funny.
They just walk away and go do curls or look around the gym for something else to do

>>42222530
>No, lifting does not increase bone density. No, bone and cartilage do not increase in strength when presented with stress like the rest of the human body. No, I don't know what I'm talking about.

>>42222530

m8, 99% of people with back problems in later life never deadlifted.

>>42222245
faggot

>>42222245
>>chad walks up asking how many sets left
>>t-two sets
Do all you faggots studder like this irl? i hope not.

>>42222363
you should have a spotter if you are pushing your limits on db bench press.
or first timer dyel will watch as his arm fails and slowly drops the weight on his face

>>42222512
isn't deadlift supposed to be a pushing exercise?

>>42222673
Some use stutters for comedic effect

>>42222477
>never do deadlifts
>it doesn't matter because you work a desk job and sitting all day causes constant compression of your spine
>one day you go to pick up your 4 year old kid
>you never did deadlifts so your lifting mechanics are non existent
>the compression from years of sitting finally takes its toll
>herniate a disc lifting your child because you never strengthened your back

Show me someone with chronic back problems who was a powerlifter.

Sure, shoulder, elbow and knee problems are common (but thats true of most athletes) but back problems are not. Joints are what get fucked by pushing limits. Cartilage and bone are generally worn down due to lack of use, or other, non athletic related reasons.

I think i would do the same if i was in your situation. But if i had to say something i would probably tell them "try lifting this" and then they end up walking away and laughing at how awkward i am

>>42222707
No, you fucking cretin.

>>42222859
>Show me someone with chronic back problems who was a powerlifter.
Layne Norton, Eric Lilliebridge, Ronnie Coleman... etc etc

There are countless powerlifters whose backs are completely fucked up, with bulging discs and everything else.

>>42223382

Injury =/= chronic back problems.

>>42222374
no I gave them a dab instead
