Strength Irritating people/things that annoy you in the gym III

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

Inventing new weird lifts that look good on Instagram is a new one too.

The basic compound lifts have been used for decades for a reason.

Apparently the HIIT gym up the road from us is quite “close”, big on the wellness retreats to Bali etc, keys in the bowl type of entertainment etc.

BRB changing gyms!

Everyone can bench 2 plates. 40kg kids dripping wet can and I just can't get near it.

Instagram is not good for me. I wish it would not show lifting stuff but i cant stop it

Probably why Nippard has gotten into the research and debate style of videos, there’s only so much you can get out of showing people workout routines before you slide down into Athlean X territory with “bigger biceps in 21 days” style videos.

They hang around long enough to contradict what they said 6 months earlier too. "Best shoulder/leg/back workout using science ever" should only be posted sparingly, not regularly

For some reason this doesnt surprise me at all.

I’m not shocked either, sort of confirms the culture I thought they may have had, v glad I never went there now in all seriousness

dont worry about it
im 50 and i can only just do a couple of reps
ive never been able to bench properly, my tech is shit and my shoulders always take the hit at the front
i just smith machine it on an incline or go dumbbells at a lighter weight and more reps

This is gold.

Went to go home and jumped in the car.

Something felt weird, then noticed a white seat hat on the passengers. Didn't I leave that at work? The massive wtf, the car absolutely stank of cigarrettes!

Then realise I'm in the wrong car, another grey corolla lmao.

Ps imagine smoking cigarettes on the way to the gym...

Worst part about going at night is you can't utilise caffeine.
