The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

People not racking their weights, leaving their belongings around, and people taking three different sets of weights with them.

 

That struggle

 

Hit the nail on the head with the music thing. I'm not trying to listen to chief keef and local amateur rappers while I workout

 

Also, not a big fan of people who don't wear deodorant

 

i think mine is just people being rude, those with ego bigger than zyzz. when im in the gym im always super nice and considerate, but some of these bitches, just makes me wanna smash their face with fist full of manners.

 

Glad I'm not the only one who does this. I think meal preparation is what separates the winners from the losers. Meal prep is one of the keys to success for me.

Hahaha yes! There's one guy here that does it with music that I'm sure would scare Satan...drives me nuts

truffff to both...We've only got 1 or 2 bros here that I absolutely hate...it's almost scary how unaware of their douchiness they are

 

I swear man, the people who do that shit ONLY do it to dare someone to say something to them so they can start a fight.. and get an ego boner when polite and considerate people don't say anything. SMH life is too short to go through it trying to be a hard ass to everybody

 

haha yep. One of the above-mentioned bros came in last week and unplugged our XM radio and put his on because "he's sick of hearing the pop we play." I unplugged his phone and said that we've got a lost-and-found full of headphones if he'd like some. I mean, who the fuck does that!? I don't think 75 year old Betrice over there on the elliptical wants to hear Wiz Khalifa's new single...

 

All ur doing by going wider and flaring your feet is making you need to not move your body as far that the one plus to it if ur going for a max. Your by doing so putting exessive strain on areas not ment to take a load, with ur feet that angled and stance that far out ur knee is prone to injury because it now doesnt have the ability to track outward as much and your also creating far less torque that way and are actualy weaker. I dont care if shes a world reccord holder from a trainners perspective and someone whos gone to school to know how ur bodys supposed to move in my opinion that squat looks like shit and no way id let her squat heavy weight like that its an injury waiting to happen. Thats why i cant respect alot of powerlifters they hate on CF but there forms worse with 10x hevier weight?? Watch an olympian squat. Feet as narrow as possible and the least amount of flare possible. Its all a flexibility thing if u cant do it right stretch out and take your time till ur forms there. All the foot flare does in a sense is compensate to let your femor rotate into your hip socket so you dont get hung up on your pelvis so clearly she needs to work on some flexibility issues. Not to mention she would be a hell of a lot stronger...just my 2 cents i dont care how strong someone is if it looks like shit


EDIT:
summed up. if you have to have your feet wide, keep your feet strait as possible, the closer your feet are together the more okay it is to have your feet flaring out, no one has the mobility of a gymnast, everyone just has to find there own happy medium...that girls stance was pretty wide and her feet were almost pointing sideways. I'm on my lunch break now so i was able to watch the whole thing her feet look closer together from the front angle that side angle looked like she was in a sumo dead lift stance practically.

Your not. As strait as possible is ideal. Straiter ur foot the more torque u can create.

 

roger that. Mine are straight but I was second guessing thinking I may have been doing it wrong

 

the wanderers...people that walk around and don't do anything but talk to everyone and re-fill up there water bottle every couple sips

 

People always seem super suprised when im friendly at the gym cause apparently when your big and lift heavy people just assume your going to be a douche nozzle like the rest of the leg day skipping bros

 

Oh my god this, 100x this.

 

^this

OMG! these Jordanian dudes came in the gym a few weeks ago and i had to change up my routine just to stay out of their 15ft stench radius. they smelled like they hadn't taken a shower EVER! Like seriously NEVER!

 

Dude I wasn't going to mention it initially but it is ALWAYS middle eastern dudes!!! The worst fucking body odor EVER

 

lol to be honest some white people in my gym smell like wet dogs.

 

I don't know if this was to me or not, but no. My scale says 9.6, but I know that's not right. I'm just using that number as a base line. I started at 11.1 when I started trying to cut.

 

You're Asian...stop being racist towards the white guys!
