It's either gonna be snap city or no dainz lane for that sorry excuse of an anon
>>34876933
holy shit
Pisses me off whenever someone asks if I lift (usually older/middle aged folks) then hit me with the "Yeah I used to be able to do that when I was your age"
Go fuck yourself old man, I've put my heart and soul into this shit, I don't believe your lies.
ex gf said she could max out leg press....i cal BS...show me! we go her shitty little apartment gym shows me this little leg press machne with max weight 120...kek ok u go it
>at work
>colleague asks what if i "take" protein
>say no i just eat alot of good food
>looks to other colleagues and says "yeh right"
>everyone laughs
>female 22yr old says "flexs for us anon" when everyone stops laughing
>doesnt break eye contact and does the downward frown head nod of approval
What did they mean by this ?
>>34877029
I don't follow. The girl asked you to flex and nodded with approval? In that case she was trying to be supportive? I guess..
Others were laughing probably assuming you take roids and shit and you lie about "eating natural".
But i'm not sure is this what you're asking
>>34876917
little dyel faggot in the gym who always drops the weight when he finishes his set of 15kg dumbell over head press
"before my shoulder injury i was db shoulder pressing the 40kgs for reps brah"
no you werent cunt
>>34877026
Is that why you broke up? If not, it should be.
>>34877026
My gym also has a dyel tier "leg press" with these exact specs. Most people who lift (not actually that many in the gym) do the exercise one-legged for it to be anything more than cardio.
>>34877029
rip englando
>>34877026
dont lie annon- u secretly wanted her to take you gym and proceed to rep this with ease

Shit form is the answer. How many people do you see benching with a pause, full ROM, and half-reasonable grip width? When they shoulder press, how many do quarter-reps with as much weight as they can hoist up to shoulder level?
A few months back, my friend told me that he had squatted 600 pounds. He's like 170 pounds and has been lifting for 2 years on a brosplit. Do you really think that this lift would get green-lighted at a PL meet? If it looks anything like 99% of the squats I see at commercial gyms, then I'm going to say the answer is no.
95% of people who lift just fuck around at the gym for a hour or so. Nobody knows what progressive overload is. They just bench 135, 225, or 315 until they can't anymore. Ever wonder why everyone just happens to be performing barbell exercises with nothing but the bar and 45-pound plates? Complete and total ignorance, that's why.
The amount of people in this world who know how to eat and train correctly is absurdly small. People don't want to do these things because they have no interest in becoming legitimately big and strong, they just want to inflate their ego with the illusion of strength and size. If they say they can put up 400 pounds for reps, it makes them feel good about themselves. People lie about height for the same reason. They make themselves feel tall by saying they're 6'0" when they're 5'9".
>>34877493
that guy on the left is literally unabashedly taking a photo how retarded do you have to be that other people take your retardation as something that you have come to terms with
>>34877575
Have you ever met anyone outside chinese farming board who lied about their height? I would say most people only know it roughly. 3 days ago i was drinking with my buddy and he said he was 170 cm (when really he is 190, i know coz im 184 and he is taller). People just dont give a fuck enough to lie.
>>34877658
spotted the turbomanlet
I remember this faggot in highschool would ALWAYS brag about being able to bench 275. We end up lifting together one day and I say we should max out today because why the fuck not.
Finishing warm up sets, throw on 225, and he fails it. Doesn't even get the shit off his chest.
>"Oh yeah i forgot I lifted earlier this morning and did a small chest work out, I must be burnt out."
>mfw
>>34877658
I'm 6'0" (185cm) tall, and people tell me I'm at least 6'3" (190cm) all of the time. I think it's because everyone says they're taller than they are, thus skewing the perception of what 72 inches really looks like. People shorter than me will say they're 6'1" or 6'2" when height gets brought up. I've noticed that most males add 2-3 inches onto their height when asked, it's just an ego thing.
>>34877711
>Everyone wanna be a bodybuilder, but nobody wanna lift this heavy-ass weight
>>34877758
I tell people I'm 1,50m all the time, they give me pic related face. I'm two one.

I'm unfamiliar with this gesture.

>How much do you lift anon
>about X for Y
>oh that's nice, yeah back when I was training I could do about 3X for 10Y, yeah man I should really get back into it
Every time.
>>34876966
I fucking hate when old faggots do this and you know they are lying/exaggerating. Why are you so insecure at that age?

>oh anon you've been hitting the gym
>yeah when I was younger I was huge you should have seen me, 100kg of pure muscle!
I honestly don't think they even realise what they're saying, they must just have skewed memories or something. I'm sure this guy probably was 100kg but I'm sure he couldn't see any definition also. Put it down to half of them getting old and half of them being insecure as fuck
>>34877711
I forgot I worked out? My god that's the laziest excuse ever
>>34877493
Is that a bar loaded up to the max at the bottom I see?
overheard a guy saying that his bf is at 0% in high school
>>34877493
why the fuck he chains himself to the leg press
what does that do

Some 145lb 5'6 DYEL 15 yr old kid told me he could bench 250x3 reps when he was playing football at age 14.
>>34878067
This. Fucking this.
If I talk gym stuff with people, I try to not mention how much weight I lift. If I'm asked, I try to steer it around so that the other guy will say his numbers first. He'll either tell the truth or add a few kgs, but I'm most often stronger and I'll just tell the truth. Then he's either admitted to not be as strong or he can call bullshit and I can prove my words if need be.
If it's the other way around, and you say your numbers first, the idiot will just say higher numbers and come up with bullshit excuses for never proving his words.
Had a skinny friend who would always talk about benching 2 plates and how his max was around 240. Went to the gym with him on his chest/tris day but apparently he was "sore" from his last workout and was just going to take it easy. He benched 135x6 and looked like he was going to die.
>Dad says he could bench 265 when he did wrestling in college
>115lb weight class
>>34877029
forget these other fags. Any normie would understand that nod. I don't understand the laughing, but whatever the flex was probably impressive.
I am a compulsive liar who lies and exaggerates almost every facet of his life but surprisingly I am 100% honest when it comes to my lifts which are quite pitiful given how long I've been lifting. Perhaps there is still hope for me

You all realize this is shopped hard, right? Like all of those stacks of green weights look exactly the same. and the barbell looks fake hanging down there.
>>34878319
In reality, he's probably pushing 900 lbs or something. He's chained down to I guess give him stability against the bench?
>>34878319
he was chained there so he does not escape. he has to leg press forever
>>34878795
Ummm no, I can see the barbell bending at the chain. And the green weight probably look the same because there mass produced by the same company...
>>34877029

turned out he did 2 cm ROM
>>34878058
Kek
>>34877758
Do people really add 2-3 inches? I round my height up by half an inch and I'm always thinking I'll get called out on it.
>>34878795
> Like all of those stacks of green weights look exactly the same.
>exactly the same
Except they don't. Look at the clips and the way the light reflects on them.
That bear-man is actually doing that.
>>34878795
it's not shopped

Jackie Chan stating in an interview that he used lightweights in his weightlifting workouts. When the interviewer asks him how much weight he's talking about, he says
>about 45kg in each side, for about 20 repetitions done in a very fast pace
I can't be bothered to find the link but I'm surd you'll be able to google it
>>34878290
>tfw no bf :(
Skinny faggot physique competitor at my gym. Always joke around because I powerlifter and our training is so different. (I.e. what you doing today, biceps? Nah squatting 600 for 10 singles)
Anytime he sees someone moving heavy weight he always says I used to be able to do that when I competed in powerlifting. Like okay dudes small as fuck and maxes out at 315 squats.
