10 racks and a massive space. Would have been 150 people there. When you see 10 people walking in and none out should have been a sign.

Lucky other location is 10 mins away

I use the squat rack on Push and Leg day, so I always make sure I am almost always on time, even 10-15mins late can ruin the chance of getting a rack.

I can ony imagine it would be very disheartening to be ready to go and not being able to start the way you want. Mind you changing the order in which you do exercises can be a good thing in some cases.

There was no leg machines available. Just cardio and he's a Spanish bloke I have no time for

I walked out of the gym for the first time ever.

I walked in and all the racks were taken. 90% of the equipment was used and I just turned around, walked out and went to another location.

I guess having a Derrimut membership is handy in that regard in certain areas of town

Bought lifting straps for the first time ever cos i am a bitch who likes to cheat and i got really bad Petechiae in my hand from the blood vessels bursting near the skin.

Got hot and itchy and i was scared as shit, but at least the straps allowed me double overhand 120kg stiff leg barbell RDLS.

Even big boys use lifting straps.
I took off a fair bit of calloused skin doing hex bar deads today so I'm actually thinking of breaking mine out again.

I didn't realise i'd get all these little red spots.

Anyway it was really good. I would always fail my grip so good to finally have something that gives me a few more reps

If you look at the video that Nippard posted, it had nothing negative whatsoever to say about Mike either.

I think Mike got pissed that someone was able to reply in a friendly professional manner stating facts. Ive seen the videos posted by them so to resort to violence over that is so ridiculous. In a nutshell, Mike said that science nerds dont know what they are talking about, look small and basically havent achieved anything. Nippard posted a video only stating his achievements.

What really compounded the situation is that they both workout at the same gym.

Yes youre right, its basically roid rage. It has already led him to being banned from the gym permanently. It also appears that a lawsuit is going to happen next as well. The local police are involved is my understanding.

Looking forward to the Joey Swoll reaction video probably coming out very soon. Kram

EDIT.

Apparently there is also more to it in the video as well, Nippard has asked for the full video to be released. Mike goes after him again after grabbing him by the throat and throwing him down.

I thought the dig from Mike at “science-based” lifters was quite funny considering he is absolutely packed full of steroids because he doesn’t want to be smaller. Wonder if Jeff will press any charges.

Went to hospital to get a full examination, I think this was in preparation to file a police report and a lawsuit.

If you’ve seen the video by now, I want to clarify the incident.​

First, I just want to give an update that I got a CT scan done and I’m okay.​

In case you didn’t see it, this is exactly what happened and there were many witnesses.​

Mike Van Wyck jabbed me in the throat twice in the middle of the gym and then shoved my camera man.​

There is already a lie going around that Mike asked me to stay away from him, and that I didn’t listen, and approached him first. This is FALSE and @puremuscleandfitness has security footage to prove it. I think they should release it.​

This is exactly what happened.​

As I was filming bicep curls for a YouTube short, Mike brushed by me and said “sup”. This was our first engagement that day.​

I chuckled.​

Mike said “oh things are about to get real funny” as he walked past me.​

I then asked him “what did you mean by that?” and I made sure my camera man was filming in case he tried any funny business.​

Then he walked back toward me, he said “turn the camera off” and immediately jabbed me in the throat and I fell onto the floor.​

Pure muscle and fitness allows filming btw.​

I stood back up and he told me to never talk about him ever again.​

Then he jabbed me in the throat a second time.​

Then he turned to my videographer and pushed him against a cable machine.
Then he walked away.
That is the full story and there is gym security footage to prove it. It’s up to the gym if they want to release it.
As of now, @puremuscleandfitness is still allowing Mike to train clients at the gym.
I also want to say I really, really appreciate the outpouring of support from the community and from other gym members. It’s honestly making this situation a lot easier to deal with for me. So thank you all so much.
I don’t know why he attacked me other than that he really, really hates my training style. I certainly gave him absolutely no reason to hate me. And even if I did, there’s no excuse to physically attack someone over a disagreement. My opinion is that it was the result of anger brought on by the clip I posted yesterday responding to his question about science-based training. Pretty wild stuff.​

People must think the muscle building process is a magical thing channeled through the power of thinking masculine thoughts and not something that is inherently scientific.

Agreed but some of these youtubers also go silly with their new ideas. Lift heavy shit and eat protein, muscles grow. That doesn't make much content though I guess
