/thread. Thanks for coming folks.
The people who judge me. There's this faggot who is 5'8 or 5'9, 190lbs(ish?) who acts like hot shit. He looks alright, at best. Yet there's this other guy who is 6'6 and on gear, competes and takes 1st consistently but he'll still give head nods and fist bumps to everybody.
Like dude you honestly look like a faggot in highschool who did gomad too long. You're a 20 year old airmen, and you give airmen the stereotype they have. My chihuahua looks better than you. Your jaw doesn't look good, even when you chew your cum infused gum. /rant

b-but its good to have something to push against
I just started going to the gym like a month ago and I still feel a little strange doing some exercises like overhead press since I can only add 5 lbs right now.
Will people judge me for this or do most people not care?
>>37455264
I dont have enough hands for the needed fecepalm.
Old people.
Bros with backwards RVCA hats and board shorts doing weird dumbbell shit on the benches.
Kettle bells.
Loud grunters and fat guys in compression shirts
>>37455404
No one cares how much you are lifting because we remember starting out. The people that do stupid shit at the gym are the ones who get judged.
I've only ever judged one person at the gym.
I was going pretty consistently for a couple semesters at college. This scrawny dude walked in, got on the ab machine, did like 11 reps - "AAAAAHHH!!!"ing the whole time. Loud. As. Fuck. Everyone was staring at him. He just kept looking around, wide eyed, trying to make eye contact with anyone who would look at him. "AAAAAHHHHH!!!" He then got off, didn't wipe off the equipment, massaged his stomach, and "AAAAAAHHHH!"ed his way out of there.
He was in the gym for less than 60 seconds. The whole building roared with laughter as soon as he left.
The guy with the basketball shorts?
>>37455781
The whole basketball shorts meme still isn't funny.
>>37455033
No one, because I'm focusing on myself and my goals. I don't have time to watch everyone else and be autistic about what they're doing.
>>37455033
Nothing.
Except maybe the ones who think they are someone when they are not.
1. Inbreds who drop 20lbs dumbbells.
>>37455421
2. >Loud grunters and fat guys in compression shirts.
These traits also happen to be on the same guy.
3. Dyels who stay for 1 week and do a 2 hour full body workout and then come back 2 months later wondering why they are still dyel.
Good thing is that every annoying cunt falls under #3 so I don't have to deal with them most of the time.
>>37455414
>I was only pretending to be retarded
I only ever judge during rest between sets, when i take quick glances around the room. People who do one set of nearly no weight are probably the worst. Or fat people who are doing the absolute minimum on cardio machines.
desu the guys who don't lift alot aren't to be judged but the fucking assholes that just wanna get ahead of you and show off are pieces of shit
>>37455309
oh my god...
People that are obviously lifting beyond their strength. Just flailing around, essentially doing full body dumbbell curls. Or squatting/leg pressing with like half ROM. I only judge them because they're obviously trying to look stronger than they really are, but just end up looking dumb to anybody that knows what they're doing.
Dudes who look very muscular with low bodyfat and mostly train exclusively with dumbbells and machines and from time to time wander to the free weight section to do 30kg OHP or 1pl8 bench or 1,5pl8 quarter rep squats

This, desu.
There are some swole as fuck 50+ year olds at my gym.
But then there are old people the same age that come in, curl 5lbs and leave.
They've been doing the same workout for years, and refuse to up the weight or make progress.
>>37455033
Dudebros with tank tops, flat baseball caps, biggest headphones they wear around their neck becuase they are always fucking talking retarded shit with other dudebros or hitting at the sluts wearing yoga pants, and checking themselves after every curl set to see how "pumped" they are.

I judge small and weak people who are hyper judgemental of everybody else and think their forum browsing and "technical expertise" makes them some sort of authority on lifting. Basically some of the shittier /fit/izens personified. Had a funny experience today with one.

Same guy was bragging to his buddy about weighing 156 pounds and being able to hit a 225 single on squat. I don't get it, man.

>>37459290
well, get one. dumbbells only go up to a certain weight, after that you can't do your exercise anymore.
not putting weights or equipment back
nothing else phases me. just clean up after your damn self
>>37456003
I'm afriad this is how people see me. The gym i go to is literally full of brosplitters and nobody does squats, and when i do them with lmao1plate they just keep shooting me glances like I shouldnt be doing that.
>>37459304
>well, get one.
No other gym in my area.
> dumbbells only go up to a certain weight, after that you can't do your exercise anymore.
Biggest dumbbells in my gym are 40kg. If I ever reach 80kg on a single leg I would be more happy to stop there.
>>37459401
why not do pistol squats (/with dumbbells) instead?
>>37459410
I assume I'll just fall on my ass, but thanks for the suggestion. I'll try them next time.
No one. Most of the time I'm in this concentrated state where I use the free weights I need or the equipment I need in a timely manner, using my watch to gauge rest time. I've even ignored a few friends passing by them without really seeing them. I don't go to the gym to fuck around and look at other people doing their sets. I'm there to work hard and get the fuck out.
>the skeleton who wore a punisher tank top, couldn't bench 75 lbs, didn't do any lower body and did random ass exercises, for 6 months.

Don't mind the "grunters" anymore. I recently started doing it and it helps somehow. I feel like a retard if someone else is near me and I have to grunt on the last couple bench press it squat reps.
>>37459196
You're an idiot if you don't understand the mechanics of both exercises are different.

I judge no one. I feel like I get tunnel vision when I workout, I get really into my music and end up not talking to anyone there. Even if I come with friends, we end up splitting up and I forget I even came with them.
>>37459692
Slipped a disc in my back. Can't squat for a while, so I've been doing heavy weighted lunges instead. Is that ok?
Your mom, she can't squat for shit.
>>37459692
Lunges hit glutes better.
>>37459763

The faggots who spend huge money on "gym" apparel and accessories like beats by dre, gloves, wrist wraps, belts, knee elastics, stringer hoodies, under armour, etc, etc.

I do lunges after squats. But I just do them in the same place. No point in walking around like a jackass.

People always look at my gloves and scoff, but if I deadlift without them I will bleed. Every time.

I do forearm excercises 2x a week.
Literally I can't deadlift heavy without bleeding, which just gets tiresome.
>>37459954
After about a month of 'building character' I was done with that shit. I couldn't even do any excercises after that shit because I would just bleed all over the equipment.
>>37459943
All the proper athletic gear and accessories are already at the gym. Go to the mall if you need to feel so trendy
>>37459986
Don't argue with the poorfags. They are just jelly that a pair of gloves would be an entire week's discretionary income. They're sad that they can't just buy the things they need to improve their own gym experience.

Top Lel gloves are for women and men with baby manlet hands. Poor manlet trash detected.

>>37459895
I used to wear gloves to DL. When I got rid of them my hands tore open every time for three weeks, then they toughened up and my DL jumped up rapidly because of the added grip strength.
I'm a 125lb girl by the way. Man the fuck up, bro. It's just a little pain.
>>37455033
That one chick who sits on a leg machine for 30+ minutes with no weight on it, like wtf is this shit
There was a guy in his 40s who gave me some advice on my DL grip (wanted me to do australian) and my posture (look in the mirror) so I could start lifting really heavy.
He then proceeded to add 10kg from what I was repping x10 and did a single rep, puffing, moaning and sweating. Then he walked around the gym avoiding my eyes for 10 mins and eventually took the 10kgs off again, stalled at the 4th rep and went home.
>>37460763
>giving unsolicited advice to strangers in the gym
WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS?
nobody. I dont wear contact lenses when i go to the gym so im blind as a bat & listen to music

People who go to squat, put like 2 pl8 on, and then proceed to do a quarter squat where they go down three inches and then come up
>that guy who's smaller than you and visibly less yolked trying to give people form advice

Chalk and proper grip form friendo, that shouldn't be happening
About as good a thread as any to ask, how do you guys get over your crippling fear of being judged?
I'm brand new to weight lifting and basically exercise in general as a recovering skinnyfat only lifting for a month, and the constant fear of judgement I feel will ruin me.
I only go to my apartment complex weight room right now, but do most everything with free weights and have made what I consider to be decent progress in the sense I've gone from doing all my exercises at 15 to 25 with dbs. Especially considering I started from unironically zero muscle. But I plan on going to a real gym soon and this thread makes me feel like I'm just going to get laughed out of the gym. I guess I'm sorry for being weak? At least I'm better than the person I was yesterday.
DYEL asians. bully em too lmao.
>>37461609
Quite frankly, I don't think the weight matters. Just know what you're doing so you don't look like a dumbass.
I was in the same position as you and because of that I put off really committing to lifting for several years and had a lot of short lived stop-starts.
Just go. Go late if you have to and take the time to figure out where shit is and what you need to do with it. Then put your headphones on and lift.
Just don't be the dipshit who benches in the rack with the safeties up and slams the bar down against them every rep.
>>37461609
no one actually gives a fuck. i couldn't even point out about 90% of the gym regulars if they stood in a line with random people from the street. no one cares, no one's looking. honestly, no one gives a shit.
just think how much of a shit you would give if some guy did some benching next to you. none i imagine. and even if you did, it wouldn't affect him anyway cause he doesn't give a fuck either.
people judge people all the god damn time but they just don't care enough to commit more than a second of thought to strangers in some gym.
>>37455404
Man I am in your boat, but other than faggots who are dyel in highschool, no one has anything but appreciation for someone doing OHP.

>>37459846
I will say anon, I used to be like you. But then I started lifting with a friend who does Crossfit, and things like thrusters used to fuck my wrists up. Those wraps, gloves, and belts help you from fucking your shit up.
Beats by Dre, stringer hoodies, under armour, etc... Yeah those are a waste of money. But if it's genuinely getting you excited to workout, more power to you! It's all about what motivates you to be better than you were the day before.
