Just had this happen to me
>At community gym
>Just me and one other guy
>Wifebeater, tats, spiked hair, the whole package
>Walking on treadmill, gettin sweaty
>Frantically starts mashing "increase speed" button repeatedly
>Gets all the way up to slow jog
>Decides that's enough, jumps off treadmill
>Powerwalks to water fountain, moaning and grunting
>Apparently it's leg AND arm day, starts doing pulldowns
>Gets on machine the wrong way
>4 reps, jumps up and runs to water fountain
>Comes back in, sits down
Sitting was too much work, needs to go get more water
>Still grunting this whole time
>At weight rack, guy needs to get his 15's for biceps
>Tried to ask me to move
>Can't get it out, too much grunting
>Hear his music, it's Skillet
>Can't hold the laughter, leave
So how was your day, /fit/?
>>26674963
I have hope for the random kid. Much of us didnt know what the hell we were doing when we started in the gym. He was probably just getting in his 10 reps of water.
>skillet
embarassing
>>26674963
>10 reps of water
>Doing a heavy Incline Curl.
>Finish set.
>Resting, and I was out of lives on Candy Crush, so I had nothing to do.
>Was pretty much just staring vacantly into the distance while I was resting.
>"Are you alright?"
>I can't tell if that was aimed at me or not, so I look to my right and there's like a 60 year-old woman staring right at me.
>"Are you alright?"
>"Erm, yes?"
>She goes back to whatever she was doing.
>Finish set and feel awkward.
Sort of made me feel stupid really. Why was she asking if I was alright? Also made me feel DYEL, like a kid.
>>26674963
Oh god I didn't think it was true but it is
>be midday, first day off in weeks, decide to go to gym at normal hours instead of 4 am
>actual decent amount of people in small gym
>gym is two sections, one is a crossift/machines/elliptical area with a few other random dumbbells.
>other is a powerlifting room, 3 cages, two deadlift platforms, 2 giant adjustable hydraulic thingies made specifically for squatting, barbells and benches everywhere, eleiko chrome plates, the whole nine yards.
>in the squat rack doin squats, 3 dyel swagfags in the dumbbell section doing curls, curls and more curls with the smallest weights.
>begin to do my deadlift and grip work and then notice what they are doing
>they are literally curling the bar used for farmers walks.
I never believed you before /fit/, but these people do exist

>start adding on weights and chubby guys offers to spot me while i bench.
>thank him kindly but i tell him i will be ok.
>he insist and says its dangerous not to.
>i tell him multiple times thanks but its ok, i understand the risks.
>a few lifts later im into my 2nd set of my PB,
>last rep is on the way down im struggling a bit and let out a grunt, chubby dude runs over and tries to pull the bar up, using one hand over grip one under.
>starts moaning and falls to the ground, i push the bar back onto the rack and stand up.
>hes crying saying he hurt his back.
>makes a massive scene.
>manager comes over to help.
>Chubbs is telling the manager i was lifting too much weight and its dangerous to others.
>manager looks and me, looks and chubbs shakes his head and goes back to his office.
Fatties trying to tell me how to lift.
>>26675130
I stare blankly between sets too. People always ask if I'm alright. Is it really that strange?
>Tuesday a few months ago, a bit after new years
>squatting in a cage as some guy walks by with a PT

Today I saw someone wearing one of these
How do people act like complete tools and not even know it?
>>26675640
>Man collapses to the ground during DB shoulder press while yelling "Im fucking seizzz brah"
>>26675797
>mfw the only people who wear these at my gym are fat fucks and basically anyone who isn't muscular enough.
Christ I even have huge rookie bodybuilders that go to the gym and they never wear this thing.
>>26675575

My gym is a jewish community center (good goy) and near my old high school. When I start my office job i will only be able to go after four, when they all are there.
THEY ONLY CURL
fucking serious
i didn't think there were people like that, they just do five different types of curls and go home. They're all DYEL.
>>26675947
>Mfw jewbros have successfully convinced the masses that curls aren't the most important exercise
>middle age curl fag curling on the only cage on a platform
>I want to do deals
>set bar down and it slips from hand making a crashing noise on the floor
>dude says "hey keep it down"
>I think he's joking and I reply it's a gym not a library
>gets in my face screaming that he has sensitive hearing
>notexpectingthat.tiff
I told him to relax and he apologized. Later was told he owns a few bars in the area. I think the sensitive hearing was a load of shit.
>>26675947
>Jews doing curls
I am now picturing a bunch of merchants curling with bags of shekels.
>>26676033
>Being this beta
>it's Skillet
>>26676067
What would you have done, tough guy high school student?
>>26676033
should have stuck to your guns m8
It IS a gym after all
>>26676099
Beat his ass obviously.
In crappy gym with squat rack crammed in between other equipment. Doing last rep of last set of squats and noob girl walks right by my bar like she's going to hit it. Distracte, I don't get my breath and Valsalva and damn near collapse in the hole. Come up on my toes.
>>26676099
Not let some douche interrupt my workout to scream at me?
>being this beta
>>26676033
Huh. What a strange occurance.
>>26676127
By doing what?
>>26675546
>2014
>not treating the gym like a social venue and loudly laughing and joking with your bros in between sets
>>26676139
Literally nothing. You don't need to acknowledge and talk to every douche that tries to talk to you. Continue the workout.
>>26676173
Better answer than I expected. I was waiting to hear I should have started a fight.
At gym with PT

You can tell how most gym machines work by looking at them and using common sense, there are only like one or two that you probably wouldn't be able to guess what they do
>>26676410
>2014
>Not having golden vocals of a thousand angels grace your physique whilst changing in the locker room

foaming directly after lifting? you tarded bro?
>>26676535
maybe
>>26675915
There are people at my gym that wear shirts from the local GNC-esque shop, with the arms cut off and the underarm area opened almost down to the hem, essentially making it into a weird vest-like shirt.
>Mfw they wear undershirts under their muscle shirts
Military gym says you have to wear an actual shirt, no cutoff shorts, etc
So these faggots wear these things over another t-shirt.
I don't even know.
>>26676560
never foam a pump brah
but seriously though, some people will say you can damage your muscles, but it's not actually that big of a deal.
>Foaming a pump
longest DOMS
>Not foaming
medium DOMS
>Foaming before lifting or several hours after
shortest DOMS

>dude isn't even attempting parallel, literally sticking his ass out a bit and bending his knees, then popping back up
>continues this for several sets
>dude then abandons the bar and weights (gym staff get pissed about this, bannings have resulted because people keep overloading the bars and just leaving them in the middle of the floor)
>walks into the middle of the floor and drops down to do pushups....kind of.
>alternates between pushups, jumping up, doing some weird squat maneuver, then jumping forward for more pushups
>runs back to cage and starts doing pull-ups
>after every "set" of whatever he's doing, does a victory stride to the water fountain
>>26676644
Exactly like that. Usually over a tan or black shirt.
I thought it was some kind of weird ass uniform at first until I realized that they were just douchebags that NEED to wear their muscle shirt, no matter what the rules say.
>>26675947
kinda sorta not really related:
>go to hang out with buddy
>meet his friend, andres
>andres does meth
>apparently andres used to be 300lbs
>andres tells me how he lost all his weight
>"i started walking to my gym, planet fitness six miles away from home"
>"also using raspberry ketone diet pills"
>"worked out at gym for hours, only AB EXCERCISES"
>ONLY ABS
>ABS
yeah, he lost the weight cause he started smoking meth
dude still has nasty skin from his weight loss, what kind of abs was he expecting... besides how will isolating a small muscle group improve bf%
fuck
>>26675806
underated toast brah
>>26674963
I've just started working out a few weeks ago, and this makes really subconscious to go the gym.
I know everyone is going to be judging me when I use a machine wrong because I have no fucking idea what I'm doing
>benching with friend
>maxing out
>guy on hyperextension about 20 feet away with a 25 lb plate
>friend spotting me

>not a very interesting week
>>26676744
I don't know about your gym, but the machines at mine have a little info sticker that shows how to use them.
No shame in reading before you start.
>>26676381
This actually made me laugh hard as fuck
>>26676744
start consciously going to the gym then
A little upset that I train in a private gym/joined a powerlifting team now. No more YMCA/LA Fitness stories.
>>26676744
The term you're looking for is self conscious

>>26676381
>plug ipod into sound system.
Die in a fire. That's what earbuds are for.
>>26676859
I feel as though I should bring my boombox to the gym just so I can blast this on repeat and see how long it takes for someone to say something about it.
>>26676381
the thought of there faces when the song ended, a brief pause, then DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNDUNDUNDUN.....WHEN IT COMES CRASHIN DOWN...
>>26676916
Well one time I didn't get to it first and some older guy put on johnny fucking cash
Imagine lifting to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfCOJLRk2D4

Jeff seid goes to my gym. Comes in every single day and busts his ass. Other gym goers criticize him when he leaves everyday, give him shit for being on sterons.
>jeff is natty
jeff is natural and its annoying as fuck. his diet is perfect and he trains like an animal. these people piss me off
>>26676974
jeff pls go
>>26676974
>>jeff is natty
stopped reading there
also, working out a lot every day != bigger muscles, pleb
>going to a strength and conditioning gym for past 2 years
> today was the first time I saw someone curling in the squat rack
>only ever lifted in a home gym
It's a conflicting feel
Go to gym today at 5 stupidly thinking 8pm is the rush. It was the busiest I ever seen it. Finally get bench, guy asked to work in but Im using bands and was only warming up with 135. Another guy comes up and Im still just warming up, he askes how many more sets? Tell him 8. He says ok Im just gonna wait for this one then.
>>26675476
I'm like 70% sure that guy was trying to set up a lawsuit against you... It's a good thing you refused his spot
>>26676692
Pretty sure those are called burpees.
>>26677028
not jeff, but is there definitive proof he's geared? I could imagine possibly cutters like clen but is it the fact he works out everyday?
>>26675147
i shit you not man, one day i walked into the gym and there were 3 dyel little shitheads curling AROUND THE SQUAT RACK so NOBODY COULD USE IT and so they COULD LOOK AT THEMSELVES IN THE MIRROR while doing so. they'd erected a gains barrier around one of only 2 squat racks in the gym.
>>26674963
Today I had a fucking argument with the gym recepcionist.
>Get to the gym
>Head to power rack
>A couple of fat motherfuckers doing dumbell side bends there.
>3 smith machines, only 1 power rack, not even a squat rack
>Ask the couple of dudes if they are using the machine
>"Uhh..."
>"Well?"
>"Ehem"
>"Will it take you long?"
>Realize I just fucked the things up, should have asked them to move somewhere else cause there's no point in doing this fucking shit on a power rack
>"We're just starting".
>Bitch niggers motherfucking twats
>silent "Fuck you".
>Go to bench press instead
>Finish my workout, approach to power rack
>Motherfuckers are doing pull ups/push up combo.
>Thisisfuckingridiculous, m8.
>Go tell the recepcionist about it.
>"Well, they're also members of the gym, we can't ask them to leave".
>"Then how about getting a squat rack?"
>"...I-I don't really know, I'll need to talk with the manager".
>"I'll be happy if you do that".
>Go back and wait for the fuckers to end their lifes
>Finally get tired of doing 0 fucking push ups
>Itstime.jpg
They start fucking doing sit ups right there.
I fucking lost it, /fit/. I fucking lost it right fucking there.

>imad
>>26676972
God damn if I could listen to this every time instead of the shit-tier plebcore that plays at my 24 every fucking time I would be so happy.
They alternate between shitty hair metal (there is good hair metal, they just don't play any), dubstep, and shitty techno remixes of early 90s music. The only explanation is that the PTs think they are fucking hilarious.
>>26677416
is this a joke?
he even posted about it on his own damn facebook
>>26677533
I hate these fuckers.
Only touch the bar if it starts falling or if I say something, dammit.
>>26676411
That would have been a sick comeback
>>26676972
Jesus fucking christ, I'd probably die from laughter or guillotine myself with a barbell during those seconds when the brass section comes in.
>>26676381
That's torture brah!

I feel like I'm going to eventually be one of these stories, I go work a friend who tries to correct my form when I do it wrong. I-i-i'm sorry g-guys but I do go out the way to make sure I'm in no one's way and move if I'm blocking anything, don't mind me and my 17.5lb dumbbells. I just want to be like you ;-;
>>26675130
It might have made you feel awkward and stupid but you know you have those days where you just want someone to ask, "Are you alright?" and then listen to you baw all that shit out. She probably thought you were having one of those days
>>26675147
>2 giant adjustable hydraulic thingies made specifically for squatting
it's called a monolift, anon
>>26676620
[citation needed]
But seriously, every study I've ever seen concludes that nothing really makes a difference with DOMS. It's just people getting more used to their workout routine as they try different things, so the 3rd or 4th magical cure they try is the one they think "works."
>>26677533
I was once this guy :(
Was working in with someone on the bench, I wasn't spotting cause he said he was fine, so I'm talking to a guy I know when I hear him struggling and see the bar move DOWN, so obviously that's a sign to get it off but when I walked round he shouted
FUCKING LEAVE IT LEAVE IT LEAVE IT
so loud everyone in the gym looked, then spent a good 10 seconds slowlllllllly moving the bar up while kicking his legs. Then complained to everyone in the gym that I was fucking his set up.
fucking prick
>>26677531
'Hey guys do you mind doing those somewhere else? This is the only place in the gym I can squat.'

so much this. People just assume they need to help when you go slow or you actually bring the bar down to you chest instead of just bending the elbows a little

>>26676744
Make your own mindset then. Stop being so insecure.
Are you actually doing anything morally wrong when using a machine incorrectly? Is it really worth being so self-conscious and insecure?
If you want a simple solution, then just go ask people on how to use the machines, simple as that.
Keep trying to develop your mindset. You seem terribly insecure right now.

Really
What if the squad rack is actualyl the curl rack and we've all been doing it wrong?
>>26677533
I see we're exchanging vigilante spotter stories.

It's a good feel.

>>26678870
Fuck you.
If he doesnt ask for a spotter he doesnt need one. Fucking people like you always ruin my set.
I would rather do the roll of shame than get help from some faggot, and question myself if I would have made it myself.
>>26680675
He didnt tip the receptionist.
Same thing happened to me:
> 2 years ago
> first time in the gym
> get my card and start to begin with my workout
> one of the regulars sees that I didnt give any tips.
> I am still being refered to as "the guy who doesnt tip" or worse names
Of course I have started tipping every gym session, but people still remember.
>>26674963
Look at marky marks short, supermanlet arms. Fucking hilarious

>>26680941
WTF DUDE?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
MY GF IS RECEPTIONIST AT A GYM AND I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE THAT DONT TIP. IF I EVER SEE SOME DYEL LIKE YOU WALKING INTO MY GYM WITHOUT TIPPING I WILL RIP YOU APART. FUCKING CUNT!
DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO ACT LIKE A DECENT HUMAN BEING?
>>26680334
you should've beat the first guy with a hammer
anyway, my story
>doing DLs with gym buddy
>finished up, hit about 255 or so for 3 reps, inb4 weak idgaf
>taking weight off, we have it set up so there is only 1 full sized plate and the rest of the weight is put on in smaller increments so that it is easier to add or remove weight while it's on the floor
>anyway, we're finishing up and were set up in front of a squat rack
>take all the weight off so it's down to 135, easy as fuck
>as I am picking it up to walk it in to the rack, buddy walks to left side of me
>houston we have lift off
>oh no
>oh shit
>buddy grabs left side of bar and yanks that shit up
>the bar and my spine lean way the fuck over

>>26681006
This is why I love England,
I'm a geological engineer and no one tips me for making their roads safe, so why the fuck should I tip a little shitty gym receptionist who is on a decent wage anyway? dumb fucks
>>26679598
Start crying, and tell them that you saved all your money to go to the gym, because you wanted to make your Dad proud of you, as he's dying of cancer after being shot in the dick from saving orphans.
Then tell them that America's payment system sucks. I mean, seriously, tipping?
>>26680862
Tipping culture confuses me, I work as a nurse at emergencies and I never get a tip for saving someone's live.
>>26675797
small friend from high school has beefed up (5' 8" probably and 180lbs) and I saw him at the grocery store the other day wearing one. Not gonna lie, I was mirin' though it did look douchey.
>>26678396
haha
>average /fit/izen in a nignog ghetto gym
>>26681075
how do you sleep at night knowing your receptionist probably lives in a bus shelter sucking off sexually repressed photocopier salesmen to survive because of scumbags like you
>>26681006

I wonder what people think when they see me grunting and failing on 50kg front squat.
>>26676120
and then theres this faggot
yesterday some dude talked to me while I was changing, he advised me to take suplements (he literally said the word suplements 10+ times)
>"dude, you must take suplements, either way you won't get big"
>like whey or something?
>"no, taking whey will make you smaller"
>mfw
>gym is right next to a creek

cant really use it now since its warped and your feet sinks into the wood when you start your pulls
>>26675575
"just attention whoring"
retard she was trying to fuck you
are you that fucking thick
>>26681420
Shouldve been like "Anabolics??"
>>26677531
The receptionist wasn't going to help you because you didn't tip, you ignoramus
>>26681436
>those fucking pull up handles that go in angles
>no straight bar
My gym is the same way. Is it too much to ask for a fucking straight bar for chin ups and pull ups. What the FUCK
>>26681443
well, I'm a hungry skeleton at 73 kg and I'm on 3rd month of SS. I'm yet to take any supplements. And I felt the impression he was trying to inform me as subtly as he could, that if I ever wanted to juice he's the one I should talk to.
>>26677451
"Excuse me, can I use the squat rack? Thanks"
How difficult would that have been?
>>26681006
Not the guy you are responding to but in my country service is included everywhere and tips are very rare. You tip if you go to a very good restaurant and the service was exceptionnal, and you tip something like 2$.
In other countries it's even considered insulting to tip, Japan for instance.
And I would never had imagined that you are suposed to tip receptionists in the USA.
>>26675797
What's wrong with that? You sound jealous because you don't have the physique to pull that off
>>26681493
>being this new
>>26681514
Not new but I may have skiped a meme or two while trying to find readable threads.
>>26675058

>>26674963
What's funny about him lifting 15kg?
>>26680862

You people are retarded, they are trolling you. No one tips receptionists.

My fucking gym.
Every week they are always putting up security cam footage of people fucking up in the gym, like DYELs trying to ego lift too much weight or cardio bunny's slipping off those yoga balls.
They started doing it when some guy broke a cable machine. I guess they're doing it to shame people or remind them to be careful? Is this shit legal at all?
>>26674963
>doing squats as usual
>2 massive 6'4 africans walk in talking in their oompa loompa language
>both are over 230lbs for sure, big muscles like rugby players, appear to be on juice

>more shitty rows on row machine
>tricep extensions with 20lb dbs

i have no idea wtf they were doing. were they just trolling or what?

Like, online? Post a link.
Oh, go to the gym they said. Nobody will care if you make a mistake, they said. Everybody is too busy, focusing on themselves.
Then you cuntfucks post stories like this. How long were you watching him, OP? You've just got nothing better to do than to watch some guy for 10-15 minutes? You guys are all faggots.
>>26676251
>>tfw these guys got nuttin better to do than waste their day at the gym doing "muh sets"
But... that describes all of us, surely?

God's work, but there is no more hope for nyfags, stick to yourself anon

Story started good, but you lost my respect when you didn't know what burpees are
>>26682625
obviously they dont even lift, and you have body dismorphia
>>26682716
>Oh, go to the gym they said. Nobody will care if you make a mistake, they said. Everybody is too busy, focusing on themselves.
this is just a troll to make dyel fucking shits go to the gym, autismals losers are necessary to feed these threads. I mean, do you not look at others at the gym? You think people just close their eyes between sets?
