3x8 is good for size, but he said doing only isolations. That would require a lot of effort, but could yield better results if the lifter was sufficiently disciplined and could maintain progression.

This. Hurts my soul. At least with bench not touching chest you can tell they know they're cheating, but with quarter squats they legit don't realize they're just ego jerking and self-gainz-goblining

I go ATG, occasionally only just below parallel for PR attempts, and I regularly get confused looks. Maybe 1/100 people at commercial gyms get even close to parallel.

"Squatting hurts your knees" also on another note I was deadlifting at my 24 hour gym then a man around 35 comes up to me and says goodluck moving when you are older. Pretty sure he was apart of the snap city

Honestly don't even need barbell bench period. Dumbbell better unless you are powerlifter. If you do it though learn to do it well. Shoulders back, scapula in, and learn to stretch to touch chest. You shouldn't be feeling it in shoulders. Try rotating arms so elbows are closer to waist than hands (not quite under the bar)

At that point I had just given up. It's infuriating how people treat calories and macros as if it were just some cooky theory. He even flat out stated that fats are what make you fat, and that eating less fat <=> being leaner.
then I told him Efron was on steroids, he just called me a hater and said I was just jealous he was stronger than me, he had to since he had an 8 pack. I'm done trying to help normies.
Also I have a gym buddy who's not a normie but who fell for the whole "lifestyle" meme.
Whenever I mention some of the non-autistic stuff I do (sometimes drink wine, smoke weed, eat fast food on the reg, don't drink green tea, don't buy protein powder) he just looks at me weirdly and says nothing. One time I suggested we go to McDonalds after working out and he panicked completely, started sweating visibly and made some bullshit excuse to get out of it.
He's been working out for 2 years, looks puny (1m76, 70kg) and is weak. Does a split of course. Extremely lean tho.

Are you fucking stupid or something? 10 reps is right in the hypertrophy range, it's quite optimal for muscle growth. It's "heavy enough".

>>42689958
Not really, 8 reps is the perfect hypertrophy range.
If he can do 10 and more he could possibly do 8 times with a little bit more so yes he should put a little bit more weight

>>42689988
No, you don't know what you're talking about. 10 or 12 reps is just as fine for hypertrophy as 8.

Actually, for the hypertrophy, if the volume is the same, rep ranges almost don't matter. It is just that more sets with lower reps will give you more strength gains too.

>>42690304
The sticky is wrong about lots of things. It for example suggests SS, one of the worst beginner routines for strength and muscle mass gains. There are quite a lot of much more effective routines for beginners.
All the professionals say 12 is a great rep range for hypertrophy. You're fucking stupid.

I don't get this, fucking PT's get on my tits with this as well. How can it possible be safer to bench without a spotter with the clips on, letting the plates fall on the side is a last resort fail-safe, as opposed to getting beheaded because of your """"""""""gym rules"""""""""".

>>42691382
This is the old guy who comes with the bench/barbell set you buy. There's one at every gym. He just sits there to do 5x5 half reps of 2 pl8 bench and then roots around in his duffel bag of god knows what/potions. No matter what time of day you go, he is in the gym.

He's the man.

>>42679421
Atheltes don't use roids to get super strong or shredded a lot of the time. A lot of the benefit of roids is that you can best your body to shit in workouts and have superhuman recovery. This is what endurance Atheltes largely do.

>>42691497
Incorrect. he's there at 9am every day, on the dot, walking into the gym at the same time as me. also: he doesn't bench 2 plates. he took the bench after me and took off all of the plates, continued to do bs old man workouts for 45 minutes.

Wait, you mean you actually fucking let them have the bench? Even though you had 2 sets left? I will never understand how beta fucks like you can exist on /fit/. You would actually skip part of your workout because you don't have the balls to stand for yourself, jesus fucking christ that is pathetic.

I read it correctly. "Walk away" implies "I walk away". Despite the " jam the deadlifting platform with their retarded presence", without a "they walk away" it implies that the writer walked away.

unless youre benching 585+, clips on the bench without a spotter is as dangerous as you can make it. theres no logical reason to have clips. bench is the ONLY lift in which you should specifically not put clips on because not only is it not neutral, its detrimental.

Thought for sure he was gonna kiss her

>>42691757
Say if you fail your PR, tilt the bar and a plate falls on some dude's foot -- the gym has liability for the dude's injury.

If you have clips, you choke yourself instead, die -- but the gym had you sign a form taking responsibility for your safety; since it's your fault, they're not liable.

I can't think of another "logical" reasons for gym employees to insist.

As for the normies, they're like the annoying teenager that's learning to drive, and then giving tips to their father who has been driving for 20+ years about how to hold the wheel properly. 0 common sense.

Fuck, at my old gym there was this old mexican dude that would stand around in the squat rack and talk to his other old dipshit friend. He always wore spandex cycling shorts and gave me stink eye. One time I asked him how many sets he had left and he got all pissy and said it was none of my business.

>>42691724

Shit, that literally sounds like me except I haven't hit 3pl8 for reps yet and sniff other dudes. I know I haven't been quarter squatting tho cause I've been doing ATG Squats for the past few weeks. Shit now you got me thinking.

Everyone almost kills themselves at some point, it's just part of the hobby. You will look stupid at some point too, but you learn to not care what people think. (even though no one will even be looking at you)
