the guys might be squatting like crap but at least they're squatting which implies that they're not complete idiots. Squatting is pretty much the first excercise you cut out since it's so damn taxing.

so be easy on browerlifters, we can't all be weightlifting gurus.

He has 3 times the physique i do.

when starting my warmup on the bike (I do a couple mins pre-MM stuff), I saw a guy doing some tricep pushdown abortion where he'd yank the weight down halfway, then struggle to get his full weight over the bar and finish it out. Then, he puts on a weight belt and hangs a 35 or 45 from it, and then does the same thing. wtf?

totally standard. i actually saw a guy do them tonight. i call them standing cable push ups. possibly a better workout than strict extensions!

roflroflroflroflrofl

but what's the point of the added weight? Doesn't that just make it easier?

oh wow, nevermind. definitely postworthy. i have no idea. i skimmed and thought he just put a 35 or 45 onto the weight stack.

He definitely failed physics classes. It's like betting $10 on black and $15 on red instead of $5 on red in the first place.

Um at the minimum you win 20$ amirite?

yes sir right this way, we have a special room all set up for you

Friday is the new Monday.

I miss lunchtime session so have to go after work. The gym is full of the worst kind of posturing broskis all trying to out broski each other.

Standing cable pushups, two man bench (supersetting with two man incline bench), three man curls, tricep kickbacks, lat jump downs (where you get a really heavy weight on the high cable station and dangle from it until you can lever your feet under the machine and hyper extend backwards), everywhere I looked was an orgy of tribal tattoos, wife-beaters, high rep, "all you man / bro / dude", chest and arms work.

On the upside, I made progress in all my lifts, and had an excellent curry with friends afterwards.

You should have the curry before to ward off any potential squat rack curlers.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
H&F. I was raped today at the gym. This broski took a liking to me and forced himself onto me, i tried to fight but he overpowered me and had his way. I'm somebodys father (not really). Look at the dirty whore i am. Dirty whore, put on your lipstick you whore you.

translation: Bro asked me for a spot doing military presses in the smith machine. I was ?!? eh! He then said spot me under the elbow. By pushing his elbows up. I should have told him to **** off but having agreed in principle to give him a ******ed spot in the smith machine, i went why not and bro spotted him (under his elbows ffs) then felt dirty afterwards. I would've felt bad turning him down but jesus!!! a man has got to have boundaries.

You obv should have refused, easier said than done for most people though.

This. Both parts.

+1

Some guy asked me to spot his squat once, it was super gay.

That's the best time to give someone the "you're ****ting me look" and just turn around and walk away.

ITS ALL YOUUUUUUUU BROOOOOO! LIGHT WEIGHT BABY! FEEL THE BURN! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAAAAA!

YO man can you spot me. Yeah just get under there and lift the bar up all the way for me yeah thanks brah.

Edit:

I saw two regulars (ones a PT at my school gym) curling in the squat rack today. Not really a big deal except they were curling 175, wtf?

Some guy spotted my squat mid-set without me asking after I was grunting like a bro and looking like I was about to pass out. It is kinda weird looking back on it, but at the time I was thinking "oh badass now I can finish this set without having to drop it on the pins if i fail"

hell at least he's paying attention.

You guys should've shared a protein shake with two straws after that.

saw something kind of funny

dude has 405 loaded up on the bar in the squat rack down low, he gimps it up and then does a non existant range of motion set of shrugs.

i look over 10 minutes later he's doing curls on the same bar with 10 lbs on either side.

ok bro, you "shrug" 405 but curl 65 lbs? whaaaa?

I saw some guy today doing incline bench and he took those elastic stretchy things with handles (don't know what they're called) and he hooked a handle over each end of the barbell and ran the band under the bench.

There's a guy at my gym always hanging out with and hitting on the hottest girls at the gym. I think he might be a pt, but I only ever see him working with the hot girls. And as far as I can tell all, of them love him. I finally saw him actually working out. He was doing hang clean and snatch (I think that's what it was) with only 95 pounds but good form. Sooo...

To get girls: pretend to be a pt, only work with the hottest girls, give stupid advice on workouts, hit on them constantly and tell them they are doing great, and do low weight, high reps, hang clean and snatches.

ez game.
