OP, you sound mad. This guy has friends that want him to succeed. We should all aspire to be him and his friends.
0% chance any of these people bench even a measly 2pl8.
If you unironically think a bunch of losers cheering on some incel for benching a single pl8, which should be done by literally everyone above the age of 13 regardless of lifting experience, is "cool" - it's because you're all a bunch of beta, limpwristed MARVEL homosexuals
I'm none of those users, but 2 things: >1: who the frick knows the guy in the OP's backstory. guy could've had cancer or some disease or some shit, and was told he could never bench again. >2: i can bench 2 plate but couldn't bench 1 when I was 13. you're fricking deranged. i hope your mother gets pancreating cancer, I'm going to will it upon her.
>I'm going to use my super voodoo incel magic and hope really really hard your mommy gets cancer
Hahahahah back in reality you're a weak, ugly beta who has never felt the love of a woman other than family members. You talk like such a homosexual holy shit.
I am literally going to will pancreatic cancer onto your mother. I am going to focus on this for 8 hours a day for the next year since I have no job or life. I am 100% serious. Your mother. Pancreatic cancer. 8 hours a day.

based. dyels seething should stop posting on IST until whatever they took personally in this stops applying to them + I counter the cancer wish and reverse it with my even larger will
We need to demoralise and then remoralise these DYEL phaggots. I did my part tonight by loading lmao2pl8 on the bench and hitting it for 10 pause reps cold just cause I saw a bunch of new dyels at the gym.

Just a couple of things. The most annoying one was I forgot my keyfob so I knocked on this window and a girl let me in. Then 30min in she comes up to me and asks for my full name to write it down incase she needs to report me, or explain to the gym staff why she let me in. (You're not supposed to let people in and there's a 250 dollar fine if you get caught, also pathetic) I'd been a regular for a year at that point and had seen her multiple times before
>walk in the gym for deadlift day. Chalk and straps in hand >day manager lady walks up to me >"excuse me, I have to let you know we have a no chalk policy" >what? >"you cant use powdered chalk here but we have some liquid chalk if you want to try some" >Why not? >"because chalk gets on all the equipment"
So are you guys going to ban sweat too? >"huh?"
Sweet also gets on all the equipment >she scowls and tells me that next time I can't bring my chalk
She wasn't happy with me being a smart ass. I still bring my powdered chalk in since I usually workout at night when she's off. Frick her being a gains goblin
I find it funny that most gyms I scout say liquid is fine, but powder is not. Meanwhile liquid looks like white poopsmears on everything whilst normal chalk just gets vacuumed up and barely makes a mess. >My gym and all PTs are fine with it
I love my current gym.
>liquid allowed but not regular
I hate arbitrary micromanaging bullshit from idiotic staff.
Maybe pay to have your fricking gym cleaned every now & then with all the money you collect from dues.
Real Chalk feels homie and makes the gym smell good and is safer
Don't deload it from one side all at once. The closer to the center the supports are, the more careful you have to be because the weight imbalance needs to be smaller.
Using the dimensions of the olympic bar, it's mass center should be at 65,5 cm from the pinning position. This means that, at 20 Kg, the momentum of the bar is 128,5 N.m. If all the weight was concentrated at 1/4 of the maximum distance of the side loads, you'd need 126 Kg of difference between the sides in order to start rotating. However, that's like, 6+ 20 Kg plates, which wouldn't occupy just 1/4 of the bar.
Assuming then a dimensions of 7,2 cm (one I got from the internet), that would mean that 4 plates have their CG at 14,4 Cm, which leads to roughly 91 Kg needed on one side in order to tip the bar. Since 4 plates are ~80 Kg it's close to tipping, and any additional weight would contribute more to the momentum, we can add the momentum of a 5 Kg plate to see if it tips. Assuming it's a concentrated load at the tip of the 4 plates, this results in only 81 Kg needed to tip the bar - so we know that 4 normal plates + 1 5 Kg plate is the limit.
As such, you basically shouldn't load more than 4,25 net plates on one side of the bar.
Or just leave one plate hanging at the edge of the bar, since that makes it momentum very big.
Disclaimer: It's 5 AM where I live and I feel like I might have made a mistake, possibly when I assumed the bar's momentum could be taken as the momentum of the concentrated mass at the center. However, I'm way too sleepy to double check, sorry. Just don't go beyond 4,25 Plates to be safe, but the real value should be slightly higher because of the mass of the bar that's in the part that holds the plates.
Ok I'm too autistic to let go, the net momentum I obtained was 134,4 N.m instead of 128,5, which leads to 85 Kg instead of 81 Kg at the end. So almost the same thing, since you still won't get away with a 10 Kg plate instead of 5.
Weird. The math says it shouldn't, but if you truly tested it and are sure the bar had Olympic dimensions I probably just fricked up somewhere.

Yeah Ohio rogue bar, might be because it doesn't rest in the center but on two Jay hooks on the supports of the power rack.

I also have a non Olympic fat bar that weighs 80lbs instead of 45 and it can hold 3 plates without tipping. When the other side is empty.

I probably messed up something then, since the condition you mentioned seems to be the same I assumed. The other option is that you guys have extra thick plates, but I doubt that.
Actually, does it tip after you've inserted the plate or does it start to tip during it? Because now that I think about it, if you're inserting the plate but not supporting it the momentum would be much greater in the instant the plate makes contact with the tip of the bar.

Depends on the thickness of the plates
If you're using steel plates it's going to take more to tip it than if you're using fatter olympic plates

Yeah, but the dimensions I assumed were from the fatter Olympic one, unless it's not 72 mm and I'm just dumb.

Ok, I figured out all the places I messed up
First, the bar weight isn't perfectly distributed along it's length. The edges are obviously heavier, and that affects the final result.
Second, I thought the distance to the supports was 41,5 cm, but in the image there is an additional 3 cm that makes a huge difference because the rotation arm is around 7-14 cm.
Third, when removing the plate, it will be supported by the edge of the bar, so unless the plate is held up it will make the bar tip much sooner.
My math is fine, my model is shit, use the empirical 2 plates instead as the Max
don't put more than 2pl8s on one side
and don't trust asshomosexuals around you and just leave 1pl8 on the other side thinking you're safe to load 4pl8s at a time

Dear god poor people gyms are fricking disgusting. I’m so glad I pay a few hundred a month for a high end fitness club. I don’t have to deal with none of this shit.
Motherfricker, I am a step above that. A whole fricking staircase above that. When I see a coom target I do the most daring thing possible, which is jack of WITH my hoodie, rather than through.
I take the entire fricking thing off, drop my pants, and tie it around my wiener, which is long enough because I'm not a fricking pussy who hides public masturbation, and yank the entire thing back and forth while staring a cardiobunny right in the eyes in between ocular darts to each tittie, and each buttcheek.
Unironically. My bladder leaks as a 22 y/o male due to alcohol and drug abuse.

>My bladder leaks as a 22 y/o male due to alcohol and drug abuse. >22 y.o.
literally how? I've been drinking heavily and taking codeine everyday for a decade with no health issues yet at 35 y.o., while you piss yourself at only 22? what the frick did you take, so I know to avoid it?
He might be lacking a bit of magnesium / zinc and probably drinks a bit too much water
Had same issues but never really drank much alcohol (once or twice a week) and barely used drugs (only weed, smoked and edibles mostly during HS) currently 23yrs old
Adderall and a lot of liquor, like 4 day benders with no liquids that didnt contain alcohol. Disclaimer, it quit after i quit using. No more leaks.
I came to this board the first time i got sober 3 years ago, and my life started to change for the better. Unfortunatley my mind was weak, and i gave up after the world got the better of me and i forgot that crying about your shitty life and trying to drink away the pain doesnt work. Ive fricked up bad, and I still dont really know the extent of how bad i fricked up my body, im just kind of praying that i didnt catch an std or require a new heart in the future, but I know that i cant go back. But i know this time that at least i wont make the same mistakes again, so hopefully i didnt do anything permanent, but also if i did, I really only have myself to blame.
Wagmi.

Yep, my problem is from the pile of surgeries I had as a kid. Saw a specialist that said they could cauterize my penis and figure I'd rather just piss on my pants 1 out of every 12 times. You anons are welcome to stick your penis on a red hot frying pan if it makes you feel better about yourself. I'll keep the piss. Thank you.

I know, but seeing how now I'm throwing the empty bar around like a beachball makes me glad I stuck around.
It was pretty understandable looking back; being a nerd at a desk my pecs and tris were absolutely non-existent.

I hope you thought really hard and long to make that joke because it is not fricking funny in the slightest
i wasnt nearly this bad when i started but my bench is still fricking awful.
>current numbers: >3pl8 deadlift >275 squat at full depth, can go higher at half depth >1pl8 bench, can do 3-4 reps per set for a few sets but that's it
i dont know what the frick is wrong with me. i know none of those numbers are very good, but my bench definitely seems disproportionately lower than the other two
This happened to me because I got sick and missed the gym for 2 weeks. Every other muscle group recovered within a month of me going back to the gym, but my bench went down a lot and took forever to recover.
For me it's usually squats that takes the longest to get back to. It's strange. But it may be because I'm quite a dyel. The max bench I have ever done is like 5x5 65kg, where's squats is 2pl8 (I know it's also dyel numbers, but normies, even those who lift have been impressed).
What class is mediocre at pressing, god awful at squatting, but fricking great at deadlifting and any pulling movement in general?
I can do Romanian deadlifts for sets of 6-8 with more weight than I can 1RM squat.
I think I pulled 4 plates for reps with conventional DL before I ever benched 4 plates.
I can do weighted pullups with more weight for more reps than I can bench.
maybe technique or something. dont let triceps/shoulders take over
something like pause benches/half-rep benches (pecs are more active at bottom of movement, more tris near top) and decline benches (less shoulders)
assume i dont have to say this but make sure pecs have sufficient volume and fatigue isnt overshadowing their exercises

It's so fricking sad/ enraging bros. He can still kill it on certain workouts but I looked up to his strength.
Did you start lifting pre-puberty?
I think I could do 40kg for a few reps at 16 as an average built teenager. Friends of similar stature could do about the same. The bigger guys could rep out at 50-60kg the first time in the gym. It's incomprehensible to me that a male that has gone through puberty cannot bench a 20kg bar.
Happened to me >regular at the gym >notice a regular gym thot show up but brought her friend with her who turned into a regular as well >immediately attracted to her friend, big fat ass, small waist, decent breasts but her smile is amazing >use paper towels for deadlifting before using straps only one to do it until I notice she also starts doing it during her deadlifts >one day while deadlifting notice she's waiting for the platform >finish up and wave her over, she bee lines it to the platform >sit down on the bench I brought over and start grabbing my phone and straps >look up and she's bent over in front of me setting up already >mesmerized and freeze up staring quite literally into her butthole >back to reality when she does her rep, looks me in the eyes and finishes her rep >stand up when she turns around to me >'hey, have you ever used straps before?' >she doesn't look at me at all, brushes past me within centimeters that her hair brushes my face, shakes her head no and dashes to the girls locker room >look around and realize people just saw me get completely blown off >get red and hot immediately and run to the 2nd floor to hide >afterwards constantly catch her staring at me even though I keep my distance from her >one day doing front squats completely focused as it's like at 90% of my max >finish a set completely drenched and sit down on the bench when I notice her >she's with her friend who's doing hipthrusts in the smith machine but she has her back to the wall with her body pointed straight towards me and staring at me without looking away till her friend finishes her set
I was mog'd by her and felt horrible.
Personally I rip off a strip long enough to wrap around my thumb. It absorbs the moisture between your fingers and thumb during hook grip and also keeps this wet patches of skin from coming into contact and slipping on each other.
I will say that toilet paper works way better, *way* better, but I just don't have the guts to grab tp out of the bathroom for deadlifts

i still think about that a lot, the fricking c**t.
Frick I'm sorry to hear that man. I lost my brother under significantly less worse circumstances and it was still brutal and fricks with my head to this day, it's something you can never truly believe actually happened. Stay strong.
Unless you were bullying him relentlessly, they are completely wrong for claiming you are more responsible for your brother's mental health than his parents. The fact that they blame you shows how awful they are and you're better off without them.
He's me. Giving out advice and help because I couldn't help my little brother from committing suicide. Family blames me. Now I'm all alone.
They blame me because I was the closest one to him. They didn't even notice he was missing or the other times he went missing.
I blame myself only because I was worried I couldn't afford to take care of him by myself. My landlord passed away at the start of COVID, so we had to find a new place to live. Everyone else wanted to move into their own places. I think he didn't want to be a burden on me.
I know this isn't saying much, but I love my little brother like nothing else, and I promise I'll be by his side. I wish I could hug you, because you reminded me of the patience and strength I need to bear as an older brother.
You're a good man. It's not your fault. Frick your family. Keep being positive with other people like you are, that shows true strength of character. Don't give up anon, wagm
>cheering your friends on every step of the way is pathetic
OP is a friendless homosexual who's bitter about others making it. I saw a scrawny nerd today who could barely do a 55 pounds bench press set and I was happy for the guy and truly hope he makes it
We have a guy who screams like he's orgasming after every single rep. The entire gym stops what they're doing and stares at him when he works out, it sounds like he's right next to you no matter where you are. It's a really busy gym but I guess he doesn't care, personally I would rather kill myself especially since the weight he is pulling is not at all worth the amount of noise he makes

It was really fricking awkward. That may have been the point I realized he was mentally challenged. It took everything I had not to burst out laughing.

First of all, there are clearly two plates, not just one. Second of all, who knows how heavy those plates might be? You can't judge this shit without knowing that.

Disgusting.
I don’t go to a free gym or on paid for by tax dollars or school tuition. So really the most pathetic thing I see is people on their phones at the gym while they’re paying to work out. Not even taking pics, just browsing.
i go to a 24/7 gym that's poorly staffed so the freaks come out to play at around 8pm >guy trying cleans and front squats but doesn't know what a rack position is so destroying his wrists and trying to play it cool >zoomer dyels taking their shirts off and then sweating all over equipment >dyel loading more plates than they can handle onto a barbell, failing the lift and then leaving the barbell loaded and out of position >people doing touch and go with the trap bar and smashing it into the platform >being told that powder chalk is prohibited in a filthy gym >morons smashing barbells into pins doing rack pulls destroying knurling >morons ego lifting rack pulls with a minimal rom >guy running barefoot on treadmill >smelliest guy in the gym supersetting 5 pieces of equipment at once and everyone around him trying to hold their breath as he approaches >dumb broad herniating disk trying to hip thrust x4 her bodyweight for a 1RM >fatso sharting at the bottom of squat and staying to finish his workout >hoodrats smashing locks on lockers for the fun of it >sperg connecting to bluetooth speaker in the studio and playing brostep full blast while he warms up >old guy who has no idea how to stretch dry humping the mat >dyels deadlifting with spine jarring arch for a single and then celebrating after the lock out >buttholes throwing/dropping plates on the floor when they unrack them >idiot breaking his wrist in the functional fitness area by hitting boxing bags without gloves >guy moaning like he's having the best orgasm of his life on every single rep >big paki fricker who's been lifting for one year recording videos for his tiktok giving the worst advice you can imagine >.....
I could go on
>idiot breaking his wrist in the functional fitness area by hitting boxing bags without gloves
Pussy, I used to hit 70 kg bags without gloves all the time, never got a sprain. Gloves don't protect your wrists anyway, wraps do. I hit the bag without wraps many times as well.
>dyel loading more plates than they can handle onto a barbell, failing the lift
ITT we berate dyels for trying to lift more than they can handle than we berate them for lifting light pussy weights
Everyone is a dyel to start with, loading a barbell full of plates and injuring yourself/failing spectacularly is more embarrassing than lifting light weights.

PT/The biggest dude in the gym were deadlifting all evening like 8-10 plates or whatever , 1 rep every five minutes. I finished my workout and went to grocery shop next store to the gym , he’s running inside all hyped , and running out with a onions milk carton. The look on his face lmao , I miss that gym , insane lulz , I would be red in the face if I told you that shit I told the PT’s there because of IST memes lmao.
A dude who btw does bodybuilding and goes to competitions. But I have only ever seen him work out once. See him at the gym all the time just hitting on girls and doing 1 set here and there.
Worst thing is he mogs me. Good thing he is a manlet so I mog him on everything but musclemass/strength

Social media apps have a feature where it timestamps exactly when a person opens your message. To open a message without replying is leaving someone "on seen".

I still don't get this pic, but I'm very drunk. zommer world seems like hell.

When you send someone a message via imessage or whatsapp thers a tiny that shows whether they have seen/read your message or not
leaving someone on seen means that you read their message but didnt respond
maybe that'd be a pb for him. what's cringe about that? we all lift different amounts of weight. i literally don't get it... are we supposed to only be happy when we life as much as people who have been training for 10 years
No one who is trying to better himself in esrnest is pathetic. Even the biggest Zoomer is leaps and bounds ahead of lanklets and hamplanets who can't get off their ass.
I tried to bench with just 10lbs on each side of the barbell one time and failed on my 8th rep so a cute girl had to come over and help get it off me. She was actually very sweet and seemed to be concerned for me but I was so humiliated I never went back to the gym again. I don't even know why I use this board, that one incident completely mindbroke me.
Why would you ever bench by yourself with the locks on? Even with a gym full of bros to save me I would never bench with them on, just takes so much mental pressure off
Saw this dude a few weeks ago doing sets of quarter squats all the way up to 455. His range of motion was 6 inches at most, and the fricker was wearing knee sleeves and everything. I'm not convinced this guy could've done 225x5 ass-to-grass, he had no business having 455 on the bar.
This is a symptom of alcohol poisoning. Physical excersice can trigger it, your heart starts racing and you start sweating, ect. Your body is actually doing things, and you should try your best to work with it instead of just ignoring it.
Shitting before working out isnt great for you, either. It shakes your intestines up and food starts to move much more quickly. Your heart needs to work much harder during this period. Its probably better to sit down and rest for 20 or 30 minutes after a bowel movement to avoid damaging your heart, if your boss will let you lol.
My greatest fear, already farted super loudly in front of some regulars when I was squatting and now I have to remember that every time I see them which is every time I’m there
>Some fat frick loads like 3pl8 on a squat bar >picks it up and immediately drops all the plates from one side >stands around like a complete moron for a second or two >drops all the plates from the other side
In my defense they've like polished the bar or something.
Bottle of CVS-tier body wash "generously" left in the ladies' locker room for showering.
Herbal Essences used to smell pretty good in the 90's & early 2000's, but now that shit has the most overpowering dollar-store-detergent scent: "saccharine sweet, hyper chemical fruit smell for poor people".
I had to re-shower once I got home with a properly-perfumed gel to get that disgusting odor off. >bateman moment
Why on earth would you use any product left in the gym? What the frick is wrong with you using a communal body wash? Idgaf if it’s in the womens area that’s nasty. On my last vacation I brought my own stuff and came inside the shampoo and body wash that was provided at the air bnb. I came it in 3x a day for a week and shook it up a bunch before leaving.

now I know that sounds bad, and at first glance I thought he was pretty cool for going to the gym even though he was in a wheelchair.
Then he would roll up to me in the middle of a set or during cardio on the rowing machine to tell me to change the weights of machines for him.
No please or thank you either, turns out he was kind of an butthole

Seriously why help someone like this? If you say no you’re the butthole even if he was rude and entitled. The only morally correct option is to just realize he’s a literal cripple doomed at birth and just lend a hand. But then that’s playing his game. Whether he’s doing it intentionally or not. And the only way to win others games are to not play. I think the correct response is out on a moron voice and >IM A BIG STRONG BOY GOTTA GO FAST SONIC CHAIR MAN VRRRMMM
Or simply ignore him until you hear please because there’s no reason not to treat him like every other human.
>A guy grunting super loud on each rep while doing OHP with 8kg dumbells >A moron dropping his weights for absolutely no reason >A moron reserving a bench in a crowded gym just to hold his EzBar while he completes his curl supersets on another bench
There's this kid at my gym that sits on the lat pulldown machine without even thinking about using it just to chat to his friends while they use the other machines. One time he got up and when some woman went to go and use it he literally ran back to sit on it before she could.

What do you mean, I don't lift
Zoomers lmfao

Check em
0% chance any of these people bench even a measly 2pl8.
If you unironically think a bunch of losers cheering on some incel for benching a single pl8, which should be done by literally everyone above the age of 13 regardless of lifting experience, is "cool" - it's because you're all a bunch of beta, limpwristed MARVEL homosexuals

I am literally going to will pancreatic cancer onto your mother. I am going to focus on this for 8 hours a day for the next year since I have no job or life. I am 100% serious. Your mother. Pancreatic cancer. 8 hours a day.
Chill bro he's not worth it.

Do you think you could also work some dick gains for me in there
Don't worry bro. I'll pray for your dick. Big gains are coming.

>2: i can bench 2 plate but couldn't bench 1 when I was 13. you're fricking deranged. i hope your mother gets pancreating cancer, I'm going to will it upon her.

Based bully anon.
We need to demoralise and then remoralise these DYEL phaggots. I did my part tonight by loading lmao2pl8 on the bench and hitting it for 10 pause reps cold just cause I saw a bunch of new dyels at the gym.

Just a couple of things. The most annoying one was I forgot my keyfob so I knocked on this window and a girl let me in. Then 30min in she comes up to me and asks for my full name to write it down incase she needs to report me, or explain to the gym staff why she let me in. (You're not supposed to let people in and there's a 250 dollar fine if you get caught, also pathetic) I'd been a regular for a year at that point and had seen her multiple times before

So are you guys going to ban sweat too?

Sweet also gets on all the equipment
>she scowls and tells me that next time I can't bring my chalk
She wasn't happy with me being a smart ass. I still bring my powdered chalk in since I usually workout at night when she's off. Frick her being a gains goblin
I find it funny that most gyms I scout say liquid is fine, but powder is not. Meanwhile liquid looks like white poopsmears on everything whilst normal chalk just gets vacuumed up and barely makes a mess.
>My gym and all PTs are fine with it
I love my current gym.

How do I avoid doing this
Rack/rerack plates every other pl8 per side?
Deload a plate on each side before moving to the next plate. Don't deload all plates from one side at once.
Don't deload it from one side all at once. The closer to the center the supports are, the more careful you have to be because the weight imbalance needs to be smaller.
Using the dimensions of the olympic bar, it's mass center should be at 65,5 cm from the pinning position. This means that, at 20 Kg, the momentum of the bar is 128,5 N.m. If all the weight was concentrated at 1/4 of the maximum distance of the side loads, you'd need 126 Kg of difference between the sides in order to start rotating. However, that's like, 6+ 20 Kg plates, which wouldn't occupy just 1/4 of the bar.
Assuming then a dimensions of 7,2 cm (one I got from the internet), that would mean that 4 plates have their CG at 14,4 Cm, which leads to roughly 91 Kg needed on one side in order to tip the bar. Since 4 plates are ~80 Kg it's close to tipping, and any additional weight would contribute more to the momentum, we can add the momentum of a 5 Kg plate to see if it tips. Assuming it's a concentrated load at the tip of the 4 plates, this results in only 81 Kg needed to tip the bar - so we know that 4 normal plates + 1 5 Kg plate is the limit.
As such, you basically shouldn't load more than 4,25 net plates on one side of the bar.
Or just leave one plate hanging at the edge of the bar, since that makes it momentum very big.
Disclaimer: It's 5 AM where I live and I feel like I might have made a mistake, possibly when I assumed the bar's momentum could be taken as the momentum of the concentrated mass at the center. However, I'm way too sleepy to double check, sorry. Just don't go beyond 4,25 Plates to be safe, but the real value should be slightly higher because of the mass of the bar that's in the part that holds the plates.
Ok I'm too autistic to let go, the net momentum I obtained was 134,4 N.m instead of 128,5, which leads to 85 Kg instead of 81 Kg at the end. So almost the same thing, since you still won't get away with a 10 Kg plate instead of 5.
Bars do not tip at 2 plates in one side other side empty, buy do tip at 3 45lb plates. Know from testing.
Weird. The math says it shouldn't, but if you truly tested it and are sure the bar had Olympic dimensions I probably just fricked up somewhere.
Yeah Ohio rogue bar, might be because it doesn't rest in the center but on two Jay hooks on the supports of the power rack.
I also have a non Olympic fat bar that weighs 80lbs instead of 45 and it can hold 3 plates without tipping. When the other side is empty.
I probably messed up something then, since the condition you mentioned seems to be the same I assumed. The other option is that you guys have extra thick plates, but I doubt that.
Actually, does it tip after you've inserted the plate or does it start to tip during it? Because now that I think about it, if you're inserting the plate but not supporting it the momentum would be much greater in the instant the plate makes contact with the tip of the bar.
Depends on the thickness of the plates
If you're using steel plates it's going to take more to tip it than if you're using fatter olympic plates
Yeah, but the dimensions I assumed were from the fatter Olympic one, unless it's not 72 mm and I'm just dumb.
>the bar tips at 3pl8
Ok, I figured out all the places I messed up
First, the bar weight isn't perfectly distributed along it's length. The edges are obviously heavier, and that affects the final result.
Second, I thought the distance to the supports was 41,5 cm, but in the image there is an additional 3 cm that makes a huge difference because the rotation arm is around 7-14 cm.
Third, when removing the plate, it will be supported by the edge of the bar, so unless the plate is held up it will make the bar tip much sooner.
My math is fine, my model is shit, use the empirical 2 plates instead as the Max
Anon, it's moment force, not momentum.
Are you moronic?
don't put more than 2pl8s on one side
and don't trust asshomosexuals around you and just leave 1pl8 on the other side thinking you're safe to load 4pl8s at a time

Dear god poor people gyms are fricking disgusting. I’m so glad I pay a few hundred a month for a high end fitness club. I don’t have to deal with none of this shit.
honestly, if i didnt have a home gym i would do the same. good job not being a poor gay.
If you take lifting seriously, why wouldn't you just get a home gym at that point?
Motherfricker, I am a step above that. A whole fricking staircase above that. When I see a coom target I do the most daring thing possible, which is jack of WITH my hoodie, rather than through.
I take the entire fricking thing off, drop my pants, and tie it around my wiener, which is long enough because I'm not a fricking pussy who hides public masturbation, and yank the entire thing back and forth while staring a cardiobunny right in the eyes in between ocular darts to each tittie, and each buttcheek.

Unironically. My bladder leaks as a 22 y/o male due to alcohol and drug abuse.
Im rehabbing, only made it through my 5th day today. But this time next year ill be on my 370th, so thats something to look forward to
>My bladder leaks as a 22 y/o male due to alcohol and drug abuse.
>22 y.o.
literally how? I've been drinking heavily and taking codeine everyday for a decade with no health issues yet at 35 y.o., while you piss yourself at only 22? what the frick did you take, so I know to avoid it?
He might be lacking a bit of magnesium / zinc and probably drinks a bit too much water
Had same issues but never really drank much alcohol (once or twice a week) and barely used drugs (only weed, smoked and edibles mostly during HS) currently 23yrs old
Adderall and a lot of liquor, like 4 day benders with no liquids that didnt contain alcohol. Disclaimer, it quit after i quit using. No more leaks.
I came to this board the first time i got sober 3 years ago, and my life started to change for the better. Unfortunatley my mind was weak, and i gave up after the world got the better of me and i forgot that crying about your shitty life and trying to drink away the pain doesnt work. Ive fricked up bad, and I still dont really know the extent of how bad i fricked up my body, im just kind of praying that i didnt catch an std or require a new heart in the future, but I know that i cant go back. But i know this time that at least i wont make the same mistakes again, so hopefully i didnt do anything permanent, but also if i did, I really only have myself to blame.
Wagmi.
Nice job. Keep going
Stop getting fricked in the ass and you'll have better bladder control
Yep, my problem is from the pile of surgeries I had as a kid. Saw a specialist that said they could cauterize my penis and figure I'd rather just piss on my pants 1 out of every 12 times. You anons are welcome to stick your penis on a red hot frying pan if it makes you feel better about yourself. I'll keep the piss. Thank you.

Wanted to kill myself but I didn't give up and now rep 60kg for sets of 8. still hurts to think about.
>60kg for sets of 8
That's still pathetic anon, but keep up the good work and keep making progress.
I know, but seeing how now I'm throwing the empty bar around like a beachball makes me glad I stuck around.
It was pretty understandable looking back; being a nerd at a desk my pecs and tris were absolutely non-existent.
Yep, given enough time you'll feel the same way about that 60kg.
One of the more rewarding feelings from lifting for a while is doing drop sets with weights I used to only be able to ~5 reps with.
It's like going back to the starting area in an rpg and 1 shotting stuff, but not Skyrim, I kinda hate games where the shit levels with you, what is even the point of leveling?
>ITS JUST LIKE SKYRIM
Wow, you managed to make lifting weights sound extremely gay. You homosexual

He's supposed to be a "white" man like most of /misc/.
I always saw him as having some European DNA but basically being half Asian, or very israeli, or one of those people who is 'white' on a survey but is very obviously Hispanic.

It's a sex thing.
60kg dumbells are heavy af dont listen to that guy
i wasnt nearly this bad when i started but my bench is still fricking awful.
>current numbers:
>3pl8 deadlift
>275 squat at full depth, can go higher at half depth
>1pl8 bench, can do 3-4 reps per set for a few sets but that's it
i dont know what the frick is wrong with me. i know none of those numbers are very good, but my bench definitely seems disproportionately lower than the other two
I was pulling 170kg and squatting 145kg both for a triple while I could only bench 65 lol.
I'm the exact opposite, I can 1rm 3pl8 bench but can only 1rm 4pl8 deadlift. I have a fricked up back though I injured when I was 18 working a trade
This happened to me because I got sick and missed the gym for 2 weeks. Every other muscle group recovered within a month of me going back to the gym, but my bench went down a lot and took forever to recover.
For me it's usually squats that takes the longest to get back to. It's strange. But it may be because I'm quite a dyel. The max bench I have ever done is like 5x5 65kg, where's squats is 2pl8 (I know it's also dyel numbers, but normies, even those who lift have been impressed).
yeah man I got to 3pl8 deadlift and 2pl8 squat around the same time I finally got 1pl8 bench for 5
being a lanklet is suffering
you just aint the presser class dawg
What class is mediocre at pressing, god awful at squatting, but fricking great at deadlifting and any pulling movement in general?
I can do Romanian deadlifts for sets of 6-8 with more weight than I can 1RM squat.
I think I pulled 4 plates for reps with conventional DL before I ever benched 4 plates.
I can do weighted pullups with more weight for more reps than I can bench.
*ever benched 2 plates
maybe technique or something. dont let triceps/shoulders take over
something like pause benches/half-rep benches (pecs are more active at bottom of movement, more tris near top) and decline benches (less shoulders)
assume i dont have to say this but make sure pecs have sufficient volume and fatigue isnt overshadowing their exercises
thats not cringe in my book but whatever you say zoomer
post bod? if you're this self aware and also this weak i need to know your starting point
medical condition?
>Be me
>Be on a religious oath
>Spent all year training at the gym with my gymbro (a certifiable Chad,) who is also extremely religious but not my oath brother
>Gymbro is one of the strongest guys I've ever seen
>Played football in HS, used to be a personal trainer in college
>Leg-presses something like 900lbs/ 450kg
>I barely surpass him on the bench... for context, we are both natty and my ORM today is around 265, and I can bust out a set of 5 at 2pl8. He was hitting sets of 3 or 4 at the same weight.
>Unfortunately, he is all muscle, no brains
>Being so experienced, we try the ab wheel one day
>He seems to have lightly injured his shoulder during the workout
>Gets worse throughout the week
>Can no longer bench anything
>Starts going to local heathen chiropractor
>Chiropractor starts playing right into this ego and tells gymbro that the reason he can't bench anymore is because his chest is "TOO BIG"... The muscles are "overdeveloped" and he needs to work his back more
>He also needs to go 3-4x per week to the chiropractor
>Gymbro believes this shit, hook, line and sinker
>Tell him that it's impossible for this shit to be true, because we do back all the time, he was just complaining about how I was benching more than him, I'm not having these problems etc...
>"NO BRO I USED TO DO FOOTBALL AND MY NECK IS TOO STRAIGHT FROM YEARS OF MANUAL LABOR, THAT'S THE PROBLEM"
>Bro, what about the ab wheel injury? I injured my shoulders this year doing rows, you injured yours on the ab wheel
>Can't convince him
>3 months of this BS later and his non-dominant (injured) side still hasn't recovered fully
>It's clearly weak when I'm spotting him
>Months pass
>He can still barely push more than one plate
>Encourage him all the time but he can barely even get into the gym anymore due to being busy with two jobs, and is also frustrated with these events
It's so fricking sad/ enraging bros. He can still kill it on certain workouts but I looked up to his strength.
>busy with two jobs
Does he have a family to support or something?
Did you start lifting pre-puberty?
I think I could do 40kg for a few reps at 16 as an average built teenager. Friends of similar stature could do about the same. The bigger guys could rep out at 50-60kg the first time in the gym. It's incomprehensible to me that a male that has gone through puberty cannot bench a 20kg bar.
You're won rep maxx

>she's with her friend who's doing hipthrusts in the smith machine but she has her back to the wall with her body pointed straight towards me and staring at me without looking away till her friend finishes her set
I was mog'd by her and felt horrible.
She’s got a boyfriend and is just being thottish, anon
Decent chance she finds your shyness charming, you should go up behind her, squeeze her ass and make clown honking noises
>use paper towels for deadlifting
explain please. how do you deadlift with paper towels?
Just wrap them around your hands. Perfect for when you forget your gloves.
people actually use gloves to deadlift? never seen it, hope they don't catch me laughing
I only use them because the bars in my condo gym is worn to hell. Not much grip left.
>wearing gloves for lifting
Are you a woman or a gay?
Bro, don't use gloves, people are making fun of you irl for sure. Unless you're a woman then I guess it's ok but not ideal.
Sorry, I'm not a woman. I can't bring myself to care about what other DYELs at the gym think of me
Personally I rip off a strip long enough to wrap around my thumb. It absorbs the moisture between your fingers and thumb during hook grip and also keeps this wet patches of skin from coming into contact and slipping on each other.
I will say that toilet paper works way better, *way* better, but I just don't have the guts to grab tp out of the bathroom for deadlifts
Interesting, I don't hook grip so I've never heard of this. I thought people just used athletic tape the way Oly lifters do.
Is this a pasta or are you just so pathetic that you've typed this story out enough times for me to recognize it?
Damn you sound cringe. Her smile is amazing? What is this the Notebook? Kys sissy zoomer
>her hair brushes my face
Sorry manlet bro b***hes can be cold sometimes
>'hey, have you ever used straps before?'
She thought you wanted her to peg you.

i still think about that a lot, the fricking c**t.
He's me. Giving out advice and help because I couldn't help my little brother from committing suicide. Family blames me. Now I'm all alone.
Frick I'm sorry to hear that man. I lost my brother under significantly less worse circumstances and it was still brutal and fricks with my head to this day, it's something you can never truly believe actually happened. Stay strong.
it's not your fault
>Family blames me
Unless you were bullying him relentlessly, they are completely wrong for claiming you are more responsible for your brother's mental health than his parents. The fact that they blame you shows how awful they are and you're better off without them.
They blame me because I was the closest one to him. They didn't even notice he was missing or the other times he went missing.
I blame myself only because I was worried I couldn't afford to take care of him by myself. My landlord passed away at the start of COVID, so we had to find a new place to live. Everyone else wanted to move into their own places. I think he didn't want to be a burden on me.
I know this isn't saying much, but I love my little brother like nothing else, and I promise I'll be by his side. I wish I could hug you, because you reminded me of the patience and strength I need to bear as an older brother.
Please be strong with me.
mnaags
It gets better bro. Dont give up.
Not your fault. You can't stop people making their own choices. It hurts and it'll never stop but time lessens the pain
You're a good man. It's not your fault. Frick your family. Keep being positive with other people like you are, that shows true strength of character. Don't give up anon, wagm
The most pathetic thing I ever saw was a lonely loser taking pictures of some other guys lifting; I'm pretty sure he didn't even know them.
>cheering your friends on every step of the way is pathetic
OP is a friendless homosexual who's bitter about others making it. I saw a scrawny nerd today who could barely do a 55 pounds bench press set and I was happy for the guy and truly hope he makes it
Most pathetic - roided gymcels flexing in front of a mirror.
Some nerd curling like a moron
Myself in the mirror
We have a guy who screams like he's orgasming after every single rep. The entire gym stops what they're doing and stares at him when he works out, it sounds like he's right next to you no matter where you are. It's a really busy gym but I guess he doesn't care, personally I would rather kill myself especially since the weight he is pulling is not at all worth the amount of noise he makes

>Arnold_its_like_cumming.gif

. It’s really cringe.
do you go to Ironworks gym and are you me?
we have this really fricking annoying chubby 40 year old with a mohawk that ego lifts and screams at the top of his lungs every rep.
1 plate is be accomplishment for that scrawny sawed off dicklet.
That's like 3 plates for regular size man.

>see him one night working the punching bag
>spends 30 minutes punching it
>finally look over and watch what he’s doing
>he’s hitting it with zero force
>literally a grandmother punched it with more force
It was really fricking awkward. That may have been the point I realized he was mentally challenged. It took everything I had not to burst out laughing.
I don't want to hurt the bag, boss
Sounds like an odd form of shadow boxing. Boxers are taught to practice boxing form without exerting much force as a way to practice.
You ever hit a bag with no gloves at full force? You won’t want to do it for long
Myself before I knew how to properly use a squat rack or power cage.
I used it backwards, i.e. facing outward instead of inward
And I could barely squat 40kg

First of all, there are clearly two plates, not just one. Second of all, who knows how heavy those plates might be? You can't judge this shit without knowing that.
Thats one plate moron. One per side.
I work at an athletic club that is considered high end, here are somethings I've seen over the years..

>girl posing on a wall getting her picture taken
>proceeds to leave with zero sweet

>What's the most pathetic thing you've ever seen at the gym?
OP
If there was someone at my gym benching 1plate for the first time, I'd take a minute away from my workout and cheer for him.
>you will never have a squad of zoomer DYELs hyping up your bare minimum modicum of strength
the highschool nog squads i saw when i was in the us were all pretty fricking strong. 2.5-3plaet benches
It's not uncommon for high school athletes to take weight training as one of their classes if they play one of the chad sports (football, basketball mostly)
nogs are notorious for taking steroids, dumbass
hypemaxxing is based, doesn't matter if it's one plate.
>hypemaxxing
(You)'re one rep max
Dudes on tren looking around to see if anyone is looking at them
I saw some zoomer slamming down his 1pl8 deadlifts. I could hear it through my noise canceling earbuds.
you should always slam deadlifts, the excentric parts is useless, only fatigues the muscle prematurely and increases the risk of injury
DYEL general?
happened awhile ago but the face this man gave me still makes me cringe to this day
>guy in question is on the free weight benches
>has literally 5 pairs of dumbbells all around him

Brutal and hilarious
Stealing this, same situation happens at least once a month in my gym
>you building a fort or something buddy?"
>chick next to him laughs out loud
>guy shoots me a look of absolute defeat
lmao. this was an amazing line, but yeah, I'd probably feel bad for wienerblocking him so hard too
Frick me that was good anon
Every week, the bald manlet janitor does half rep OHP on the smith machine. It always gives me a chuckle.

No, just regular squats. Just a woman moment I guess

my girlfriend and most women in general. i understand why my dad resorted to alcoholism.
I don’t go to a free gym or on paid for by tax dollars or school tuition. So really the most pathetic thing I see is people on their phones at the gym while they’re paying to work out. Not even taking pics, just browsing.

>idiot breaking his wrist in the functional fitness area by hitting boxing bags without gloves
Pussy, I used to hit 70 kg bags without gloves all the time, never got a sprain. Gloves don't protect your wrists anyway, wraps do. I hit the bag without wraps many times as well.
Same. Hitting bags with gloves isnt going to strengthen your hand/wrist.
>have been hitting bags gloveless since a kid
>people doing touch and go with the trap bar and smashing it into the platform
what's supposed to be wrong with that?
doing touch and go with the trap bar
What’s wrong with this?
>I could go on
please do 🙂
t. locally owned 24/7 gym too, but i don't see anything remotely as close as any of this shit
>dyel loading more plates than they can handle onto a barbell, failing the lift
ITT we berate dyels for trying to lift more than they can handle than we berate them for lifting light pussy weights
Everyone is a dyel to start with, loading a barbell full of plates and injuring yourself/failing spectacularly is more embarrassing than lifting light weights.
consider yourself lucky, i think there's something in the water around here.
>i think there's something in the water around here.
It's called fluoride.
Yep. It's making everyone smaller and smaller.

You're a talented artist
>not pathetic but
PT/The biggest dude in the gym were deadlifting all evening like 8-10 plates or whatever , 1 rep every five minutes. I finished my workout and went to grocery shop next store to the gym , he’s running inside all hyped , and running out with a onions milk carton. The look on his face lmao , I miss that gym , insane lulz , I would be red in the face if I told you that shit I told the PT’s there because of IST memes lmao.
I know it's a word filter, but honestly I kind of want onion milk to be a real thing
I wish I had friends that supportive
A dude who btw does bodybuilding and goes to competitions. But I have only ever seen him work out once. See him at the gym all the time just hitting on girls and doing 1 set here and there.
Worst thing is he mogs me. Good thing he is a manlet so I mog him on everything but musclemass/strength
I don’t even lift that hard but. but this made me feel like a Greek god

It’s always Mexicans bro. There’s this other guy who will load up way too much weight and has the most pathetic ROM, I swear to god they have some type of insecurity about them
machismo
I don't know what the frick this means. "On seen"?
Social media apps have a feature where it timestamps exactly when a person opens your message. To open a message without replying is leaving someone "on seen".
>on seen
I still don't get this pic, but I'm very drunk. zommer world seems like hell. I have a brand new smartphone but I only call and text with it, the only app I'm using is a banking app, because I've literally been forced, even browsing net on anything smaller than a 32'' monitor seems terrible now
>let's migrate every convenient windows app into the browser, then again into an app, this time an unusable phone one
When you send someone a message via imessage or whatsapp thers a tiny that shows whether they have seen/read your message or not
leaving someone on seen means that you read their message but didnt respond
thx
name pls
Allison Bishop. she was all over IST around 2014
Thanks! Merry Christmas.
maybe that'd be a pb for him. what's cringe about that? we all lift different amounts of weight. i literally don't get it... are we supposed to only be happy when we life as much as people who have been training for 10 years
What if each plate weighs 200 lbs?
No one who is trying to better himself in esrnest is pathetic. Even the biggest Zoomer is leaps and bounds ahead of lanklets and hamplanets who can't get off their ass.
How the frick has no-one posted the picture.
there's nothing wrong with wearing a red tank and converses anon. Stop gatekeeping
I tried to bench with just 10lbs on each side of the barbell one time and failed on my 8th rep so a cute girl had to come over and help get it off me. She was actually very sweet and seemed to be concerned for me but I was so humiliated I never went back to the gym again. I don't even know why I use this board, that one incident completely mindbroke me.
Your fear of being weak is keeping you weak. please leave this place
similar to this
I'll never get over how moronic it is to wear a fricking mask. So fricking dumb, even dumber whilst working out.
>multi coloured hair
>trying to prove something to nobody
Many such cases
Why would you ever bench by yourself with the locks on? Even with a gym full of bros to save me I would never bench with them on, just takes so much mental pressure off
Saw this dude a few weeks ago doing sets of quarter squats all the way up to 455. His range of motion was 6 inches at most, and the fricker was wearing knee sleeves and everything. I'm not convinced this guy could've done 225x5 ass-to-grass, he had no business having 455 on the bar.
I shit my pants deadlifting at the gym
This is a symptom of alcohol poisoning. Physical excersice can trigger it, your heart starts racing and you start sweating, ect. Your body is actually doing things, and you should try your best to work with it instead of just ignoring it.
Nah, I had to shit beforehand and didn't and strained during a PB.
Shitting before working out isnt great for you, either. It shakes your intestines up and food starts to move much more quickly. Your heart needs to work much harder during this period. Its probably better to sit down and rest for 20 or 30 minutes after a bowel movement to avoid damaging your heart, if your boss will let you lol.
My greatest fear, already farted super loudly in front of some regulars when I was squatting and now I have to remember that every time I see them which is every time I’m there
like full log
until my turd cutter got the signal from my brain to stop, yeh
well, i hope you subtracted it from your weight
frick, my wilks
>Some fat frick loads like 3pl8 on a squat bar
>picks it up and immediately drops all the plates from one side
>stands around like a complete moron for a second or two

In my defense they've like polished the bar or something.
Bottle of CVS-tier body wash "generously" left in the ladies' locker room for showering.
Herbal Essences used to smell pretty good in the 90's & early 2000's, but now that shit has the most overpowering dollar-store-detergent scent: "saccharine sweet, hyper chemical fruit smell for poor people".
I had to re-shower once I got home with a properly-perfumed gel to get that disgusting odor off.
>bateman moment
Why on earth would you use any product left in the gym? What the frick is wrong with you using a communal body wash? Idgaf if it’s in the womens area that’s nasty. On my last vacation I brought my own stuff and came inside the shampoo and body wash that was provided at the air bnb. I came it in 3x a day for a week and shook it up a bunch before leaving.
>coomgel
Jesus.
Well that would probably unironically smell far better than any globohomosexual bodywash and actually be better for my fricking skin.
>I'm a girl. Did you notice that I'm a girl? Yeah, I'm a GIRL that goes to the GYM. Yup. I'm a girl. My story has literally no meaning other than declaring that I am a girl.

>catch him flexing in locker room
>5’3” 150lbs and 18% bf
You greentext like shit
a guy with muscular dystrophy working out
now I know that sounds bad, and at first glance I thought he was pretty cool for going to the gym even though he was in a wheelchair.
Then he would roll up to me in the middle of a set or during cardio on the rowing machine to tell me to change the weights of machines for him.
No please or thank you either, turns out he was kind of an butthole
Ngl seems kind of based. Imagine being able to get away with being some what of an butthole everyday.
Seriously why help someone like this? If you say no you’re the butthole even if he was rude and entitled. The only morally correct option is to just realize he’s a literal cripple doomed at birth and just lend a hand. But then that’s playing his game. Whether he’s doing it intentionally or not. And the only way to win others games are to not play. I think the correct response is out on a moron voice and
>IM A BIG STRONG BOY GOTTA GO FAST SONIC CHAIR MAN VRRRMMM
Or simply ignore him until you hear please because there’s no reason not to treat him like every other human.
>A guy grunting super loud on each rep while doing OHP with 8kg dumbells
>A moron dropping his weights for absolutely no reason
>A moron reserving a bench in a crowded gym just to hold his EzBar while he completes his curl supersets on another bench
morons monopolizing a bench/rack for a lift that doesn't require them are the worst.
There's this kid at my gym that sits on the lat pulldown machine without even thinking about using it just to chat to his friends while they use the other machines. One time he got up and when some woman went to go and use it he literally ran back to sit on it before she could.
