for me personally it lets me focus on contracting the bicep and not swinging the weight up with my shoulders or hips.

whats an inside/outside curl??

I was at the gym tonight with a friend, and this old guy was there who also lifts late at night. He's weird, one night he told me the owner said we can't hold the door open for people, as if we were letting people in who didn't have a membership, even though we haven't.

Anyway, friend was doing overhead press, and the guy walked up and said "hey let me show you something, do that again" and when my friend pressed the weight again the old guy gently put his hands under his triceps and said "help your friend out a little bit when he gets tired, otherwise this could really blow out your rotator cuff"

Indeed, old man.

set up the bar to deadlift at the foot of the bench. while standing in front of the bar, facing away from the bench, deadlift the bar behind you with your palms facing forward. now, in a single motion, jump tuck your legs back over the bar while falling backwards onto the bench

you are now ready to press

I made eye contact with the big burly sweaty guy next to me at the gym and sang "to prove that I love you, because I believe in you" to him.

My friend who goes to planet fitness told me I look like a Ricky because I was wearing a tank top, and I'm like wtf is that. Apparently Ricky is a swolebro on a poster that PF people fear.

Do they actually cower or just laugh nervously when seeing the poster?

What you're saying is that moving those posters around would ostensibly be about 'variety' but it would be great cover to gently caress with PF people and when they'd come to the front desk to complain about it being on the back of a stall door suddenly I'd be all "Well, you SAW it, didn't you? Seems our Swole Awareness campaign is working. Thanks for the ten bucks, have a tootsie roll - there, there - I'll be sure to move it - there, there."

I have no idea, I really didn't know how to reply but I did tell him he should probably go to a real gym. He used to be a tall fat guy, now he's a tall chubby guy with baby muscles. I think he's really into the fact that PF fit shames because he started telling me about lifting next to a "Ricky" and feeling intimidated or some poo poo, who I guess also carries a gallon jug of water in the poster as well as shamelessly flaunting his physique in a tank top. My friend is a pussy and PF is for pussies, basically.
