lift
Not go on their phone between sets
>Oh boy! My legs are sore after that intense leg extension workout!
circuit training.
Wear a belt for benching
>hey son, that barbell should be touching your chest!
use machines to do the lifting for them
spend hours on cardio
carry a towel around and wear gloves
Stand with their hands on their hips looking at the TV for a good 5 minutes before they attempt their next set.
>using the good/bad grill machine
>tfw it helps with your hip aids
t. boomer
Prolonged, obvious staring at thots, followed by “back when I was single...” banter. Thy then go home and bang their acceptable wives and take a nap.
It should, faggot
U r mum lel
socialize
>tfw trapped in a 15 minute conversation half out of my mind on preworkout because I said "Good Morning!" to the wrong boomer
just got back from the gym this morning. 35 year old boomer taking up an entire power cage doing curls off the outside pins. had something like 155 pounds on the bar (a 25 and three 10s??) and was doing sets of two reps each with the most insane dogshit form you could imagine. crossfit curls. whole body curls. he'd like lean all the way forward and then fling his entire body back to perform a vaguely "curl" like motion. straight up wormchad curls. never saw someone do kipping curls before but this guy was making it work.
Kek should have gotten vidya
That was me but only for two minutes
>leg press
i keked at this pic but don't know why, can someone enlight me?
zyzz would be a boomer now, so whatever he did
fpbp
when is this monster shilling going to stop?
own it
Leg press is objectively superior than squat. Enjoy your lower back pain
*lift very low weight for way too many reps and make 0 progress and look like shit
Once you get that high of achieving your dreams, you can never relive that euphoric feeling. All you can do is ramble about the good days and take a *sip*, realizing every day that passes is another day where you will never relive your dreams.
You guys don't shoot the shit with your friends/ gym buddies between sets? I'm a 22 y/o boomer and do this
>""""RE""""live your dreams
hahah yeah that would suck wouldn't it.
>friends
yeah haha we're totally joking around all the time haha
kek
enjoy your destroyed knees. squats never cause lower back pain unless your form is utter shit or you're some rare genetic failure
they just wanna relive their chad years haha
>if i dont feel pain dat means its ok!
>putting 300-400 lbs of weight on your lower spine repeatedly is fine bro just use proper form
lmao
what did you talk about?
you rarted kiddo, leg press puts way more stress on the lower back
t. onions ridden zoomer
post body
>i am a *very* weak bitch who can't handle heavy weights: the cope post
>that boomer who wears jeans and steel toe boots to workout
>my skeletal structure is stronger than a normal human's because... i feel like it is
lmao
do you understand how gravity works?
do you understand how basic physics works?
Yes, when you squat you've got a huge amount of weight resting on your spine. When you leg press you sit horizontally and upright
Assisted pull ups
holy shit, the stupidity displayed by this post is unreal, your IQ must be sub 60 or something. you really think your legs are magically separated from your spine while you sit horizontally? it's retarded enough to put a load on your lower spine in the position your body isn't designed to handle a loaded spine, as opposed to the standing position, when all those additional muscles work as stabilizers. moreover your spine is in flexion that isn't constant throughout the lift, which is probably the worst thing you can do to your spine. there are countless examples of people snapping their back doing leg press e.g. spine-health.com
>spine-health.com
>I was doing leg presses (the lying down type)
Did I say the lying down type? No, because that's again putting all the weight upon your spine. Your own link doesn't even shore up your argument. Gtfo brainlet
There's a man that goes to my gym that looks just like the boomer Wojack meme. He walks in at the same time every day, does a few repetitions on the chest press machine, a few on the bicep curl machine, and then walks out again. Every time he walks in, I'm doing squats near the entrance and he gives me a brief look of disgust before going about his routine.
>putting that much weight on your spine during squats
He's fucking redpilled dude.
crack open a zero ultra with him next time
Exactly. I welcome the sheeps self destruction.
The back is supported by a flat surface you stupid faggot mouth breather
if you possessed some basic reading comprehension or understood primary school physics, you'd understand that the position doesn't matter, because the load is still transferred to the spine and the unnatural flexion is still present during the movement
forum.muscleandstrength.com
which doesn't change the force straining the spine in the slightest, because it's completely unrelated to how it's applied, you fucking mongoloid
Leg extensions do hurt my legs tho
>forum.muscleandstrength.com
>another irrelevant forum post anecdote that is totally irrelevant
damn you showed me bro. how bout you you demonstrate to me how putting weight upon your back in the most direct way (squatting) is better on your back then when you're sitting and it's pressed against a flat surface
How does leg press destroy your knees anymore than squat? Are you going to post a video of that woman who os clearly under medical supervison or that man using his arms to push his legs straight to press 30pl8s?
You're gay
>Go to gym
>Warm up, stretch in the mat area which is right next to a mirror
>While I'm stretching 60 year old boomer comes up to the mirror
>Hella sketchy looking, wearing camo joggers and jordans
>Just stands there staring at himself in the mirror for the whole time I'm stretching
>Finish stretching and go to lift
>He starts walking around the gym in this weird routine
>Doesn't lift at all, just does this slow walk around the gym while staring at people
>This goes on for 45 minutes until he stops, stares at himself in the mirror again, then leaves
what the fuck
>another irrelevant forum post anecdote that is totally irrelevant
yeah, it's another irrelevant forum post anecdote, but in your previous post it didn't stop you from ignoring the whole argument and referring only to the anecdote while spouting some irrelevant bullshit that only showed your complete lack of understanding. posted those only because you thought it couldn't ever happen, because legs magically disconnect from the spine when you sit horizontally with your back pressed against a flat surface
> how bout you you demonstrate to me how putting weight upon your back in the most direct way (squatting) is better on your back then when you're sitting and it's pressed against a flat surface
already explained it several times. if the required level of reading comprehension exceeds your mental capacity, this discussion is pointless
"you know, back in my day I used to bench 3pl8"
he just wants to share a sip with you
no sips made him freak out
But if the spine stays straight, that means that the back muscles are sufficient to support the weight. It's not like the bone is actually supporting any weight.
>bellows loudly after every set
>doesn't warm up, goes straight for the weights
>is too stiff/has too much weight to do the full range of the exercise
>sits on the equipment in between sets with a vacant look in his eyes
>has a several minute long phone conversation while sitting on gym equipment
>tells everyone that the current music playing isn't real music
>leaves massive amounts of sweat on everything he touches
>smells like old socks
all me except the last one
You think boomers are bad? Try gay boomers.
Yo what gym you go to? There is this guy at my gym who just walks laps and gives everyone a hectic stare, never seen him do any form of real exercise at all
hahahah this thread is so pathetic
look at the low level of discussion
im glad you idiot zoomers are so stupid
randomly come up and spot me :)
its an extremely wholesome feel
onions
can someone be so kind to tell me what a boomer is? thanks in advance
Well, when the fuck else are you going to be lifting heavy weight outside of a gym? Its either intense manual labor, or an emergency situation.
>use every single machine possible
>rest for 5 minutes between sets talking to each other
>give unwanted advice
>talk on the phone during workouts
Apples and oranges my dude, one doesn't replace the other fully. Doing both on a leg day is beneficial
probably just lift, maybe joke around with the other boomer that's there by himself just wanting to lift by himself, who doesn't have a lifting buddy. probably can't figure out why all these zoomers can't go to the gym by themselves instead of being in packs of 2-5 guys busting out their sets as fast as possible instead of using slow, controlled motions. probably works a trade job and has 'dad' strength and doesn't really need to go to the gym, but goes because he enjoys it. goes home and sips a beer and either grills or slow bbqs some meat with the mrs. takes in the view of his freshly cut lawn that mogs his neighbours lawn, pleased as punch he didn't get murdered today.
The poor guy was probably overthinking everything and had no idea what to do and gave up.
Based boomer advice
and it's lol from me, and it's lol from him.
someone in his late twenties or older who doesn't keep with new hip things anymore, but tries to be cool and usually can't function without caffeine

BOOOOMEEERR
Heh, these zoomers, right? People in our times were waaaay more inteligent.

>what are you user, a gay boy? haha
yo my man real life retarded
Go boom
I can't stand that shit. Oh yeah, sure thing buddy. You were totally Casanova and every girl who walked past you instantly got wet and dropped her panties for you, and this happened multiple times each and every day until you decided to settle down with your average-looking overweight wife. Sure thing.
God I wish that was me.
I'm 25 and I use a bench on working sets. Bracing your core is important on the bench. Shit, I honestly feel more sore in my core, lower back, glutes, and quads after finishing a max set than I do in my chest.
>you'll never be 10 again and using your dad's T1 office connection to play heat.net with people online
>GameSpy servers

the internet is trash now.
w-what's wrong with assisted pullups?
boomer is like 35+ don't put me that close to them jesus fuck
no, it's 30 or close to that. it originally started as 'that 30 y.o. boomer' or 'that 30 y.o. in the gym' before that
Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1944 and 1964. They're current between 54-74 years old (76 million in U.S.)
Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 - 1979 and are currently between 39-53 years old (82 million people in U.S.)
Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1980 and 1994. They are currently between 24-38 years old.
Gen Y.1 = 24-28 years old (31 million people in U.S.)
Gen Y.2 = 28-38 (42 million peeps)
how fucking new are you? the whole point of this meme is that the millenials, who slowly stop keeping up with current trends, are called boomers
I was in the rack next to him and I didn't want to be too obvious, but I did take a photo of his bar when he went to get a drink of water
Sorry man I just joined in July
tfw phoneposted and Jow Forums punished me by not rotating the photo
>kipping curls
welcome fellow boomer
