There was a DYEL at my old gym who used to curl dumbbells while wandering through the treadmill area.

He was almost always THIS close to falling flat on his ass because some broad stopped running the second he walked behind her.

didnt realize till i got home he was telling me to just put 5 more lbs on and make it 3pl8. '3' is 300 in my mind.

i wouldnt feel too bad about this except this kind of misunderstanding/mild awkwardness seems to happen 95% of all my interactions at the gym.
>>
I didn't realize how clueless most people are until I actually joined a gym. Even the big guys who look like they lift never do squats or deadlifts and basically just do bench press with half rom and curls in front of the mirror.

Also have seen so many skinny dyels in tank top and backwards baseball cap its hilarious

I don't understand why you have to get THAT mad, if you can't squat that deep why don't you just... not squat that deep? When I had poor flexibility I just put some 2.5lb plates under my heels until I was able to do it.

genetically different fat distribution and also this is also INSIDE of the gender too. There are plenty of women that look like this, but there are also plenty more that find it very hard to lose that fat on their stomachs without losing the rest of their shape.

Not weird but just happened to me, would like to know what you think. I was doing 215 pause low bar squats when a guy in comes over wearing an Arnold hat telling me he's a professional bodybuilder and that if I keep squatting that way I'm going to blow out my back and I should keep my chest up. He then proceeded to show me how by high bar squatting 3pl8. He never acknowledged any difference between low and high bar. Of course I didn't argue with him, just ended the conversation as quickly as I could without being an asshole. And then he didn't say anything to the three people blowing out their knees by quarter squatting. The guy is obviously strong but he's was such a walking meme I don't know if I should believe him.

Here in Japan every day I go to the gym I see something bizarre. The gym is like a temple of bad form and half reps.
Men doing ten minute long sets on the lowest weight possible. Old men twerking in the corner, moving to another corner and twerking some more. People curling at 45 degree angles. Bench presses that don't even go half way down to the chest. Everyone wears compression gear and if they're not doing cardio theyre doing some form of ab workout.
Pic related. Its how EVERYONE dresses when they come to the gym. Every day I go there I leave more and more confused.

>>36365712
>Squat Bar – This bar will always have knurling in its center to help grip the back of your shirt to ensure it doesn’t slide on you. Bars without the center knurling aren’t the best for squatting. Squat bars tend to have a thicker diameter and have very little whip to them.

>Deadlift Bar – This bar will have a little more whip to allow it to bend so you can ‘take the slack out’ of the bar before you pull, which gives better bar speed off the floor. The bar itself tends to be slightly narrower in diameter with sharper knurling to give you a monster grip.

No. Did you try looking at the non-thumbnails? Zoom in to the smaller one too, and swap between tabs. The differences are pretty obvious when you do that. Her waist is narrower, her tits perkier, rounder, and larger, and her face is a little different in a subtle way. Slightly cleaned up.

I don't know how to feel about it. Is what he said true? Is what she said true? Are machines shit? How do I learn to do proper form with weights? I mean, I've never been in the gym since. This happened maybe 10 months ago. I've had the opportunity to get back into the gym now because I live practically right next to one but I don't know who to trust. It was like an RPG where you have to pick sides in a quest without really knowing the implications of either path.

Machines have their place for some exercises, but yeah free weights generally will help you develop faster. Most PT's are shit when it comes down to strength training. Your PT was on point about diet being your biggest contributor to weight loss, but you can still train free weights while losing weight.

My gym's racks have fixed pegs. It's fine when I do warm ups but when I start to add weight I slove no into my shoes a little more so I have to calf raise the bar into the appropriate peg

>>36368719
He was using a open rack with fixed pegs that slants back (forget what it's called, gym has 2). I dislike using them as I've gotten to higher weights b/c the peg are either too high or too low and pegs sit at an angle. Prefer vertical power rack, but there's only 1.

First off Clair was underaged in that pic, not 20-25. Second off ALL humans tend to be annoying and irrational before the age of 25 because important decision and personality structures in your brain haven't finished physically developing yet. And if anything, guys once again mature later than girls and should wait longer than them to be in a serious relationship if physical brain maturity your real issue.

How about you find someone you genuinely enjoy instead of trying to "fix" someone, like your personal arts and crafts fixer upper.

That's WHY they're mentally ill you imbecile
A woman is at peak fertility around age 16-18. Fact. That's why they're are most attractive at that age.

It's all downhill from there. A woman who passes that age without making any children goes batshit crazy. They are all essentially broken and desperate husks after that

That's fucking dumb. There are only standard Olympic bars in my gym. And standard Olympic bars have center knurls but a space on each side for DL.

How often are you guys sexist? Usually its to show a female point of View when you're obviously lacking one

Wow you should seek some professional help if you're serious and not just trolling. You sound like a newsflash waiting to happen

Even my gf who's extremely normie makes jokes about not skipping leg day and doing squats, it's hit the mainstream by now.

There's this weird guy who walks around my gym just organizing weights all the fucking time. He seems to be there every time I go, but has never made any progress on his massive beer-gut. Literally all he does is re-organize the weights, and occasionally I've seen him do wrist curls. He doesn't seem to care if you're in the middle of a lift, he will walk right beside your shit and pick up some plates, coming within inches of your bar, and slowly carry them over to some rack somewhere and put them away.

So I'm telling my buddy about this guy, as we both go to different gym chains and we're sharing "weird guys at the gym" stories, and he tells me that there is a guy like this at his gym too.

>Oh, what does he look like?
>Long gray hair, MPB, huge beer-gut
Does he always wear the same black sabbath shirt?
>Yes....
And the only "exercise" he ever does is wrist curls?
>Holy shit yes...
*simultaneously*
>And he walks around """"organizing""""" the weights?

So we discovered that either this guy has a fucking doppleganger that has the exact same "routine" as him. Or he has 2 gym memberships, and at both gyms he does nothing other than wrist curls and rearranging weights.

he's the ghost of left out weights, he was about to do wrist curls when he tripped over some weights someone left out and cracked his skull on his own dumbells, now he wanders certain gyms trying to finish his lift and making sure no one befalls the same fate as he.
