me, I got gym bullied >decided to do a deadlift session despite hip pain, sleeping like shit and spending my whole day walking around and sitting >thought I would make the best of shitty conditions and come out on top like I usually do on deadlift days for some reason >go to gym (first session in an actual gym, used to be homegym masterrace) >expecting 215kg easy double and then some singles, maybe another double (should've gotten it easy as I'm regaining strength I lost during summer) >only manage 3 hard as fuck singles >after first single, brad curlbro tells me to stop because I'm making too much noise, obviously trying to be intimidating >tell him "y-yeah, whatever", don't say anything because he's a brad and also I don't want to get into a whole thing >seems irrationally angry, in retrospect he might just have been mad about getting outlifted by some dyel >mfw I just got gym bullied >keep deadlifting but it's on my mind and I can't make that double >try doing rows >weak as fuck >try doing shrugs >weak as fuck >whole episode makes me mad as fuck, normies looking at me and I can't even feel like "fuck them I'm stronger" because I'm having a weak as fuck session
I just feel like shit right now. Depressed. I don't know why but having such an awful session made all the bad shit resurface. I don't understand why I was so weak. I just want to have "fuck you" strength, you know. Like I can just laugh at anyone who says anything to me at the gym. I'm probably the strongest deadlifter at this gym (commercial gym, and powerlifting isn't really a thing here) but the gap is not big enough for me to just smile in those normies' faces.
Also could it be that the flex of the bar is making it harder? The bar I have in my homegym doesn't flex at all (28mm bar, the kind you buy at a hardware store) and getting an actual oly bar off the floor felt foreign.
On the plus side some demure looking qt looked at me.
cunt. seriously should I have started shit with the guy? From what I saw he was a weakcel, just doing half rep bench with 80kg for 5 or so and then doing a bunch of flyes
Adrian Williams
Were you being a faggot and dropping the bar just to make noise and get attention? If not, you should have continued. Should have said >This is a gym, if you don’t like loud noises you shouldn’t be here
Moved from bb curls to db curls to change things up and found out my left arm is a fair chunk weaker than my right on curls. Got to figure out how to even things up...
Joseph Lopez
You weren't bullied lol, that bitch boy wanted to mog you, couldn't, and got mad because of it. You counter bullied him by continuing to deadlift, actually. The only reason you ended up as the loser here was because you thought you were.
Juan Miller
No I'm using figure 8s so I can't even drop the bar. I did continue, I just think I should've just told the guy to fuck right off. Instead I was just kind of dismissive. gyms are shit t b h, I'm used to grunting and doing Pierre Woodman impersonations before lifting. >tfw could triple 220kg before summer fuck when do I get my strength back. everyone told me it would be so much quicker. I quit smoking when I was like 19 bro
Cameron Carter
I mean he was a fair bit taller so I guess I can't really mog him regardless of how weak he was.
Evan Hall
you'll get your strength back when you take your tampon out and stop being a cry baby bitch
Henry Howard
Why do people complain about noise in the gym? I go in and put my earbuds in within 5 mins of entering and don't take them out until I leave so I never realize how quiet it is until I take them out because all I hear is SCUUUUMMMM GAAAAAANGGGG for an hour straight. Then I take them out and I can hear weights clanging and shit. It also makes me insecure because I know there are people who lift without earbuds and can probably hear me grunting loud and my shoulders popping when I do facepulls and lat raises. Why do people unironically lift without earbuds?
Lincoln Gomez
nah it's mainly shit sleep. I can't wait to flex on those normies. As soon as I can do 5pl8 for reps I own the fucking place. All the gym bunnies will suck my dick. I'll show them.
Idk I do that as well but even if you don't have earbuds what the fuck do you expect in a gym? go to a library or something. plus the gym has that 'bouncy floor' area which is clearly and explicitly designed for deadlifts. All the normies were giving me this hostile look, like I somehow ruined their day.
Brandon Anderson
Explain to him calmly that deadlifting 4pl+ quietly is a really fucking bad idea if you value your lower back and spine at all, DLs aren't exactly the time of exercise where you go for prolonged excentrics for dat pump & hypertrophy.
He is probably just mad that some manlet is pulling x3 of what he is brobenching, and that his lanklet frame & nolegz program means he probably struggles with DLing what he benches.
William Adams
eh. I'm half kidding. These fucking normies have motivated me to regain my strength and then some.
Jaxon Russell
This place is getting into your head.
Josiah Martinez
I mean we didn't just pull that shit out of thin air
