What is the?

What is the ISTapproved way to grab a pair of dumbells from someone who's hogging 90% of all in the free weight area for "supersets"?

        Correct. It's just a lie told to get people in the gym (or by the people who fell for the lie). The real advice is to live your life as you please regardless of the judgement of others.

        Yes, people notice and judge you. Appearance matters.
        There's a difference between noticing and giving a shit though. I see twig mode zoomers benching girl weight at my gym and I snicker to myself but then I go back to my workout. I hope they manage to get big.
        If you're not actively creeping on people or doing something truly bizarre/dangerous and you put in the effort to groom yourself, nobody gives a shit even if they might titter.

      I just take them. Only once have I had something similar where a guy was supersetting different machines and I used one and he came over and when 'hey mate I'm using that'.
      Was a bit of back and forth I said 'you were over there mate not here', 'yeah im supersetting'.
      I said back to him 'mate you book reservations at a restaurant not at a public gym, go buy your own equipment then, we can share set for set if you'd like though'. So he went with sharing between sets.

      Reminds me of my gym experience.
      >doing sets at a machine
      >once I'm done with one set I get off so other people can use it while I'm recovering
      >someone doing sets at another machine comes by and uses it
      >feel good about how thoughtful I am
      >he finishes his set and goes back to the other machine, so I try to hop back in
      >sees me and says "Hey man I'm using that"
      >say "oh, okay, sorry" and walk away like the beta I am

      I was even leaning over the machine while resting so it's not like I went "away" from it.

      Seems like as good a post as any to ask this to:
      How do I handle it when I legitimately need equipment or weights that are near where a girl is working out? No matter what, even when I make a point of looking anywhere but at her, I always feel like she thinks I deliberately went there to sniff her or some shit.

        Do you generally look rapey? Have you ever been caught sniffing random girls? Do you think about sniffing them?

        If not, you are overthiking. I literally never treat women as an alien species and talk to them as I would to an unknown guy. With some formalness and respect but being straight to the point. Where does all this insecurity even come from?

          honestly the insecurity probably comes from demoralization on IST kek.
          I feel like if I so much as glance at a girl at the wrong moment that she'll interpret it as creeping and then I'll be known as a creep.
          I look and act like a normal guy for the most part, keep to myself and focus on lifting. If you saw me in your gym you wouldn't think twice.

Always believe the opposite of what IST tells you (including this thread) and try not to take any advice on "relationships" from IST in general.

        This is your mistake. You're caring about what a modern woman thinks of you.

        >she won't think bad of you unless you do some pretty nasty stuff
        >don't look good/Chad
        >she'll either not think of you, or think bad of you, even if you do literally nothing
        Instead just make sure there are cameras where you're working out and never, ever gaze at her general direction, because she's more likely than not recording you for TikTok clout.
        If she comes to the point of making a harassment accusation against you (unlikely), the gym cameras will prove you were just minding your own business.

        That's the ONLY thing you should worry about in these situations, really.
        >is there a camera so it doesn't become he said/she said?
        >Am I doing something that could look like harassment to the camera?
        If it's "yes and no", keep doing what you were going to do. You can disregard modern women's feelings because modern women are completely delusional and will "feel" the most fricked up shit by the most bizarre reasons.

      There's a certain guy at my gym. He does Incline DB press with atleast 6 different weights. Doesn't even superset just hogs them, does the heavy ones for 1 set and then reps out the 20 pounders. He just keeps them around to pretend to himself he's going heavy. That is a very weird thing.

      The other type of homosexuals that I hate are those that leave mid set to goto the water fountain and chat up someone else for minutes. then as soon as you approach their 'currently in use' machine they'll sprint back 'Oh I was using this'

        There was this one guy, probably early 20s that had just started going to my gym and he would grab like 4 sets of dumbbells and scatter them all around his bench. I needed 30lb ones for my lat raises and he had a pair by his feet. I watched him for 5 minutes doing curls with a different pair of dbs, never picking up the ones I needed, not doing supersets or anything. Annoyed I walked up and said to him "you building a fort or something?" and grabbed the dbs. Didn't really bother to see his reaction, but I heard the guy in the bench next to him laugh.
