General Gym Observations - Page 908 - Health and Fitness Forum

Nothing pisses me off more than a person who uses the bench right next to you when there is only 1 other person in the gym and there are countless other benches, machines or squat racks that he could be using instead.

you should use that anger to bench harder.

Well I was free weight benching with a bar for tris; certainly gave me some extra strength I thought.

Another point that I wanted to make which is sort of related to me being so pissed off in the first place in that he was on the bench right next to the mirror and I was on the next one over and was there so I could use the mirror off to the side for form but he chose to use that one but anyway just wanted to ask the degree that you all use mirrors for form?

For me they are incredibly important for so many exercises I do.

Are you checking form while bench pressing? Its no good if you are tilting your head to the side to check form while benching.

Using mirrors for form check is good for squats and DL, but for bench I much rather have a person critique the technique.

I'm pretty sure every one of bundy's posts ITT have been terrible. Not sure if he's dumb or just trolling on a higher level.

Looking to the side in the mirror to check form?

I didn't know your camera was from 1999.

How do you lift heavy without hurting your neck that way?

To cater to a wide variety of people, who mostly don't lift properly. Same reason why gyms have smith machines.

And then you use your phone to get video of your form and to sneak shots of said girls in said yoga pants and post them in the L/C thread.

I use mirrors to stealthy eyeball girls so hard that even with my ninja moves they can feel my presence.

For me they are incredibly important for so many poops as I do.

GGO: Whether you've just hit a new PR, or you're doing a deload, it feels like every one is watching you.

Hint: only one feels good.
