Why is the gym so scary /fit/?
>>35474995
Burn in hell pyjama boy
>>35474995
Cause it only has 1 squat rack
>>35474995
because you have the misconception that people there will care about what you're doing
>>35474995
Fuck going gym, get ur own bench.
>>35475005
who is that?
>>35474995
It's not. You've just psyched yourself out. I lifted at home for a year before going to the gym, because I was afraid of being the only dyel there. I wish I had started going sooner.
The truth is nobody's judging you, they were all in your shoes at some point.
Given half a chance, most gym goers will bend over backward to help a new guy out.
>>35475087
>fuck going gym
Sir, you're retarded.
>>35474995
>thinking about going to the gym
>>35475110
Why? Get your own bench, get a barbell and some free weights and you can do it all from home.
>>35475119
Do it or gtfo of this board.
>>35475138
but ive been here for almost 2 years
>>35475134
Poorfag, i rather just go to a gym mine is relatively cheap.
>>35475010
>tfw gym has one squat rack and one OHP rack
>tfw every time I come in, someone is using the squat rack for OHP
>tfw at the same time someone is using the OHP rack to squat
>>35475154
BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT GODAMMIT.
>>35475169
What the fuck is an OHP rack
>>35475178
but its so scary and /fit/ is so comfy
>>35475093
/thread
Doesn't matter if you're DYEL or a ham planet. Honestly, 90% won't even notice you're there, the rest will be rooting for you.
>>35474995
Be gone NYR fag
>>35475161
I consider it an investment actually, also i can blast whatever the fuck music i want and not re-rack weights or any of that shit. Plus no one is waiting for you to finish on something. You keep going to gym mate :^)
>>35475161
A home gym is not only cheaper in the long run, it's also objectively better.
>>35475191
Accept that you're a human being just like everyone else, man the fuck up and start pumping iron. No reason to be scared of others, make them fear you instead.
>>35475093
Tbqh, I have been lifting for 5 years and I would never help someone out seeing as though no one ever helped me out.
The weak should fear the strong.
>>35475255
Precisely, but some refuse to accept this. Go to gym if you enjoy it, but some prefer to lift from the comfort of their own home
>>35475279
How the fuck did nobody ever help you out
I've been lifting for 2 months and gotten help from like 4 people without asking
>>35475284
Yes, they are called DYEL's.
>>35475224
I normally blast my headphones so thats no biggy. I have no problem racking weight cause im not a sloth. Enjoy your 2×4 gym room.
>>35475045
This
>>35475279
I hope you have beautiful children whom you love with all your heart and terrible relationships with all of them
>>35475295
I didn't and don't need help. It's weightlifting not fucking rocket science.
I researched everything on my freetime and now am consistenly one of the stronger guys at my gym at any given moment.
I should also say that if i was asked for help, I would help but no way in fuck will i ever go out of my way for someone who probably won't be there after 3 months.
>>35475279
This. Ill help someone only if they ask of it.
>>35475284
Paying a gym fee is more motivating tho desu especially for jewy/poor people who need to make the most of their money
>>35475045
>>35475045
Which in turn stems from his mom being hyper vigilant and watching (and probably criticising) his every move when anon was little, because she wanted to mold him in a perfect little gentleman
And now he wonders why he is autismo general, posts frogs on r9k and feels like shit all the time
>>35475279
Wouldn't that be more reason to help people out?
>no one ever helped me out.
Not even a spot on a failed bench? What gym are you working out at?
>>35475355
I think it's also a bit like losing weight for a fatty
You just need self discipline in the store. If you only have healthy food at home that's you're only option.
Similarly, you only need self discipline to GET TO the gym, not to keep doing a whole session without taking a break at home
>>35475429
...what can I do about it
>>35475436
your*
fuck it
>>35475433
I have gotten the occasional spot when i needed it but I see this as more of a duty than help.
>>35475045
What about those thousands of "Gym fails" videos? I've seen people doing completely fine excercises and yet being recorded by normies who know only bench press.
>>35475482
I once beat the fucking shit of a normie for recording some dyel faggot.
Funny thing is, the normie was banned for life from my gym for violating policy and I was hailed as a hero.
Fuck both those faggots though for interrupting my lifts.
>mfw dyel tries to thank me and I tell him to fuck off with his lil bitch antics
Haven't seen him since kek
>>35475528
so if someone does this to me I should just say nothing?
gym politics are so weird.
>>35475446
Psychotherapy , but it's a gamble because it's hard to recognize which therapist is the right one for you
Alternatively, create for yourself an environment that doesn't place extreme emphasis on external qualities and wait to heal.
>>35475436
This is true, my brother bought and keeps buying all sorts of equipment and then he ends up not using it.
>>35474995
>tfw too scared of being beat up by gym buff guys
>>35475687
To each their own. Personally seeing all the stuff lying around makes me want to work out all the time. Needing at least half an hour one way or another to go to the nearest gym would absolutely destroy my motivation. At home my workout takes exactly as long as it takes. I can schedule it perfectly. I don't work out that long, only about one hour effectively, but that's all it takes. I can even use the breaks between sets to do stuff. If I went to the gym, I'd be gone for two hours. That's time and money that's just wasted.
>>35475618
Bruh, this will not happen to you and who cares if it did....thats why you gotta get big son, so if this did happen you would pop the fucker in the gabber yourself and completely avoid the other, more dominant male.
It will take time. But until that time comes, you're a dyel faggot just like everyone else who will quit after 3 months.
Commitment and a decent diet is all you need, but 90% of the new ppl at the gym i see don't last.
>>35475618
Also, this post >>35475528
is a shitpost you dyel faggot.
Quit psyching yourself out and just lift, eat and sleep. Then you too can shitpost as well as me.
>>35476021
>>35476035
Man you guys are really great, I'm fucking going to the gym tomorrow. I don't even know what I'm gonna do but I will work hard.
Thanks anons
>>35474995
Why go? You can do all at home, unless you want to be really big then you have to spend so much time in the gym you'd better be around people.
>tfw you think about getting in the car and driving to the gym
>>35475279
Hey Blaha
>>35474995
It isn't
It gets easy when you realize you don't respect anyone there
>>35476370
I always want to drive back when the parking spots are almost all taken.
>>35474995
>go to gym early
>only person there
>feels good man
>>35475169
i do actually use the squat rack for OHP
more convenient than the bench
>>35474995
Because your crippling insecurities and terminally beta personality has you in a constant state of terror 24/7/365. Either grow up or kill yourself now.
>>35477532
rude
>>35475087
I have my own bench, bars, dumbels, and lat pulldown. Best i can do on a busy schedule.
I also started lifting only a month ago
>>35475189
Over head press
>>35475169
What's so wrong about doing ohp on squat rack.
>>35478626
try to lurk more before commenting. also don't hog the squat racks plz.
>>35478626
Depends, m8. It's mostly a /fit/ meme, but some gyms do actually have people that squat and limited squat racks. OHP can be done anywhere. If you can press the weight, you should be able to clean it. You can't just clean heavy weight into squat position, kna mean?
But yeah, if no one's waiting to squat then by all means, do you. Ain't hurting anyone.
>>35475284
I enjoy the feeling of competition I get from the gym, I want to be the person who gets mired, I want to be as big as that guy, I don't want to look as weak as that guy ever again, etc. Also test boost from girl butts
Some people need rough treatment and not to be babied, that's what got me into fitness
>first day at the gym
>fall off the treadmill because shoe was loose and came off mid stride
>don't fall of the end but get caught on the arm thing by my crotch
>belt is sanding my back to a nice smooth finish
>meanwhile shoe hit some random in the head
>flail enough that the emergency retard magnet comes off and the belt stops skinning me
>get the fuck out of dodge
>left my shoe behind
