NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONISTS ARE BENCHING IN THE SQUAT RACK AGAIN
Bros, one of my work buddies told me yesterday that he wants my help to get fit and he wants to be my workout buddy.
Some years ago i was offering him to come work out with me but he kept coping out, saying he has bad knees or saying his priority of to lose weight. And i low-key gave up on him. Well finally he's accepted my offer!!
I'm so happy!!
Frick yeah
Be prepared to become instantly frustrated as you learn that your friend is a person of weak character who can't put down a fork and is too big of a pussy to push himself through the soreness of the first few weeks or the difficulty with getting started weight lifting.
Not him but everyone I’ve brought to the gym has kept at it for several months at least. Most recent gym buddy has been at it for a year, he doesn’t push himself enough on kegs but he absolutely unfatted himself and is only making progress
I have never seen any increase in gym goers at my gym during new years.
Also, i do OHP at the squat rack, am i a sinner?
Depends, do you use pins to pin press off to really total your shoulders or do you do standard ohp? If it’s standard you could just clean it into the ohp starting spot which also activates glutes and core to press off
>If it’s standard you could just clean it
I don't know that skill
>Also, i do OHP at the squat rack, am i a sinner?
Yes frick you
Well I don’t know your gym but I go to a small one that has one (1) squat rack so I’m chasing homosexuals out of it all the time for doing other shit.
I was in the gym the other night and 2 dyel pakis dragged an adjustable bench all the way across the gym into a squat rack then started doing dumbell press in it followed by barbell curls. I literally don't understand how anyone can be that moronic. Like why don't they just leave the bench where it was and do their workout there?? Why take up a squat rack to do exercises you don't need a squat rack for?? Why do I have to share the world with worthless meatsacks like these??
>NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONISTS ARE BENCHING IN THE SQUAT RACK AGAIN
I hate doing this shit, if the bench is taken and bench is up next though, what am I to do?
I've got a boomer doing yoga and abwheels in the squat rack, and curls on the bench press bench
and that's bad? Bench press is literally that one excercise that will kill you if you drop the bar. 90% of "bench press" setups don't have the adequate safety mechanisms. I'm not a "resolutionist" and I'll keep benching in the rack. Mald.
The gym I go to has benches in front of every squat rack (6 in total).
When I go, i pick one and do all my compound lifts there, if there are other racks free, i do chinups and pullups too.
Imagine not taking the home gym pill
>walk in half naked
>or fully naked; who cares?
>everything is nearly put away where it belongs
>squat rack not occupied
>bench not covered in hepatitis sweat
>turn on BluTooth speaker
>Calendar Girl by Neil Sedaka because why not?
>work out in whatever order you want, no need to compromise
>take as much time as you want
>no morons with no concept of other people
>no distracting attention seeking gym prostitutes
>no commute, no parking issues
>”how many sets do you have left” no longer exists in your vocabulary
>finish your workout with the most moronic, goofy exercise you can think of that you won’t even admit to online
This is the only option. Once you do this, you’ll never go back to a public gym.
my gym doesn't even have dedicated bench press setups, it's either smith machine or bench in the power rack if you want safeties, or use dumbbells
>work out
*workout
squat racks more commonly have spotter bars to help newbies feel safe. also the adjustability of the j clips are best for starting your ohp
cope tbh tbh senpai the world doesn't revolve around you and you should kys to improve the world
>The world doesn’t revolve around you
Which is why you should get your ass out of the squat rack the whole fricking gym is waiting to use, homosexual
>pack of zoomers doing 1rm deads next to me
>taking videos on tik tok and shit
>don't mind since I'm not a salty homosexual
>start doing ohp, get up to 1pl8
>here one of them say "yo look at that"
>see them in the mirror miring
>do a few more sets then one of them comes up and asks how long it took me to do that
>tell him about a year
>asks for a tip
>tell him generic shit, eat protein, eat often, lift heavy, lift often
>his friend comes up and asks if he can film me doing a set
>surewhynot.jpg
>do set and he comes up to show what he's about to post
>video of me doing the set with a caption that reads "beastmode spotted at local gym"
>I laugh and say send it
>finish last set and tell them they better keep at it
>they say they will
