Only time I do this is when I get to the gym and a power rack is not being used. I sit my happy ass in front of it and do all my warm-up. I have lost racks too many times because I was stretching in another area.

There used to be some decently hot 18yo that would always strut around the freeweight section in spaghettistraps and booty shorts, I made it a point to give her the wolf eyes every time she was there. I'd stare at her ass, ogle her tits, didn't even give a single fuck if the whore would "catch" me.
She lasted about a month.

What do you do if someone assumes you are just being an autist and takes the bench? What do you do if they don't respect your pre-warm up dibs? I'm asking for a beta friend.
>>36520152
it's me
>>36521405
You could probably just say "I had dibs on that" or "I was next for that" or something similar. Then offer "but we can work in."

>that guy who deadlifts lmao1pl8 with mixed grip
>>36523937
Me
Is that not okay?
I thought mixed grip was the """""""correct""""""" way to deadlift?
>>36523972
You shouldn't need it for 1pl8
>that faggot that has his own barbell and weights but does nothing at all because he is a lazy fuck
>>36523972
There's nothing wrong with mixed grip (fundamentally, your choices for heavy deadlifting are mixed, hook or straps - all have disadvantages) but using it for 135 suggests you have a grip issue.
>>36523972
>>36523984
As this anon said 1pl8 is not heavy enough to justify mixed grip, also it can cause imbalances over time
>that guy that drops the bar during a deadlift
>that girl who deadlifts just the bar
>>36524012
>>36524002
>>36523984
Ah, ok. Even if it is just for warming up?
Working weight is just over 2pl8. Should I mixed grip that?
>>36521816
"i had dibs" would not fly. just "can we work in"
>>36524012
Funny you mention imbalance. I start using mixed grip at 3pl8 and actually switch which hand is over and which under every set. I don't know if it actually helps, but I haven't noticed imbalance
>>36524068
try chalk first with double overhand grip
>>36524068
People will generally suggest you should double-overhand the sets that you can and switch to mixed whenever you're at a weight that isn't going to be easily gripped overhand.
There's some situations where that isn't the ideal, but its the default approach.
>>36524068
no mixed grip till at least 3pl8, work those forearms m8
>>36523972
>>36523984
>>36524012
This, because you should be building your grip strength with double overhand.
Start screwing with mixed grip around 315.
>>36524092
It helps, because if you're consistent with your form the imbalances from both cancel each other out. This only works if your lifts end up to be an even number at the end of the day though, 1x5 for example would net you one more of whatever you started with and because the muscle repair, your nutrition and your rest periods are different each day it could still cause imbalance if for example you got more sleep and protons on a day where you ended with left flipped and the next time got less sleep and protons when you ended with right flipped. Probably a negligible imbalance though unless you have a disastrous sleep schedule and nutrition issues
>>36523937
but if grill and 180 is your heaviest you can do as a beginner is mixed grip ok?
>>36524276
The only concern is imbalance over time, to help a little you could alternate which hand is flipped every set but it can still build up over time

Bless that girl
i never see girls doing obscure shit
where do you guys see this
>that Indian guy
>>36524167
This is dumb, why would you switch grip position from the one you warmed up with?
>that day when there was a girl doing excercises in tight pants and they split right down the crotch seam
literally everyone instantly turned to look at her, and the poor girl turned bright red and ran out of the gym
it was hilarious how quickly everyone turned to look, it was like the sound of someone dropping a coin at a synagogue

I want to meet this guy. His ideas intrigue me.

wtf m8
>that guy who talk 247 with everyone in the gym
>thinks everybody is his friend
>has a new buddy with him everytime
>gives him that serious motivational talk when he does 20kg benchpress
>>36524214
really needed it when i reached 2pl8 or sets longer than 5 with 80+kg, its realy hard to make grip gainz
>>36528300
Bro don't judge my ab workout
>>36522199
he doesn't have Tourettes, he's just from /pol/
>>36528375
My lifting buddy is that guy. I'm so sick of waiting for him to chat everybody up between sets. He knows his shit and gives decent advice to people who need it, but I feel so fucking stupid standing there like an idiot waiting for him to start the next lift.
>>36528375
I have a friend that's gone full Del Ray misfits with his life. It's sad.
>>36528507
I thought we had your insecurity issues resolved after the last talk we had about this, tommy

Actually, once you step foot in the gym it's all about how much you can lift.

>>36520744
W-what are quarter squats anon? Is that an actual thing?
>>36525362
> using the manlet chariot for the gain train
>>36520205
you don't stretch before workouts, not to mention you can stretch at home.
>>36529732
they exist. they're basically just slightly bending your knees and then coming back up.

>>36525386
At the gym there's a guy named Patel,
who has a peculiar smell.
He reeks like a sewer,
he is a street poo-er,
even worse he's a D-Y-E-L
>>36531284
You should always start your sets with a few reps of the empty bar though.
>>36531284
I most definitely do.
>>36531615
that's warm-ups, which are important. static stretching shouldn't be done before workouts.
