It’d be nice if I could go more than a week before being unable to lift anything. DLed 115kg 4x4 last week and fairly happy (coming off hosed hamstrings), then I played squash on Friday with someone 100x better than me and now I’m sore and my shoulder/bicep hurts and can’t pick up more than 110kg lmao. The week before last I did something to my elbow doing pull downs. Am I dying?

Maybe you’re not warming up enough before lifting? Or maybe your form is wrong... I just went 13 days without deadlifting and came back to the same weight, 245lbs, no problems, added some reps

Hadn't deadlifted in months (barely been to the gym, really). Get back in this week a bit, finally doing deadlifts today. Keeping it low at 225. Doing just fine for 3 sets. loving gym vulture hangs out behind me for a the third set, tells me to put my shoes on after it. I do. First loving rep of the next set. *pop* Set the bar down lay straight down. Bitch, this is what I was trying to avoid!!

Here, let me teach you a nice little phrase to help with awkward interactions like this in the future. "Mind your own loving business" preferably with a finger jabbed into the other individual's chest.

It was indeed an employee, and I had just forgotten my regular gym shoes. If i don't have those, I'd prefer to just lift in my socks. I've learned how to deal with dumbass injuries now, so I'm already at ~75% (instead of continuing my set, like the first time). Will try deads again next weekend. With the proper shoes.

Tell any staff member who tells u to deadlift in shoes to go gently caress themselves. Angrily. I deadlifted im toe shoes for a good long time. Theyre amazing. I only stopped wearing them because now i go to a gym that allows me to be barefoot

Gonna start Average to Savage tomorrow. Already dreading that 15+ set but I've been playing with too many triples lately so it'll be good for me.

Goddamn it, shoulder problems. I think it's a result of my left shoulder not having the mobility needed to properly hold a low back squat and when I went heavy last week putting too much pressure on it. No lack of mobility, just a breif pain, I don't want to say sharp and I don't want to say dull, occasionally and especially if my elbow is going back towards my spine. Guess I'll be taking a few days off

I figured out how not to injure myself deadlifting. Watched a dude load the bar up to 5 1/2 plates. He then sat on the weights on one side for 15 minutes. Then, when enough people had filed out of the room and new faces filed in, he deloaded to 3 plates and started his set. The man has it figured out. He looks like he's lifting huge, then he just unloads the weight to a number he's comfortable with. Loophole found

Maybe he was doing sets in his mind I read it can be almost as effective as doing the work, you don’t know him

my gf has fallen victim to IG faux fitness thots who use machines in bizarre, questionably effective, but unique ways in order to attract followers. do i just wait for her to injure herself going backwards on a hamstring curl machine, or do i tell her it’s weird?

At the weights I assume she is using them she probably won't injure herself. Also you can't win, if you tell her it looks dumb now you are an rear end. If you wait and she finds out herself she looks dumb, you'll be an rear end for not telling her earlier. Best case scenario is that she will get a nice big butt like those insta chicks.

Protip: Don't set the safety pins too high on squats. Unless you like hearing a large clank and going OHSHIT. Good thing I didn't have weight on the bar

Saw a guy do that yesterday- had like 450 on the bar and was BARELY into quarter squat position when CLANG. He kept going and smashing into the safeties repeatedly. No idea

What’s up with all these gym bros being crazy pro-military and reactionary. Wendler, Rippetoe, etc always talking about some dumb bullshit about a man has to be this or that and skinny jeans are not manly. My gym even has marine flags waving around. Why can’t they chill out.

I mean weightlifting culture is hyper masculine and you got a lot of dudes who juice and have anger issues. Feeling pretty jazzed right now. Just finished 200lbs 1x5 on deadlift and I started out at 135 in February.

I saw Pumping Iron over the weekend and even though it’s totally masturbatory and Arnold is a giant rear end in a top hat he inspired me to push extra hard. It’s worth a watch.

The gym is probably the most chilled out environment I've ever spent a lot of time in. All the juiced up monsters have turned out to be really nice guys. Compared to football, rugby or anything nerdy or online it's an absolute brotopia.
