Gym Goblin

My goblin is this weird spazzy looking dude who wears the EXACT same outfit everytime (tan shirt, blue Adidas pants). Does half ROM squats, DLs, and whatever else he feels like making himself look silly on that day. One time I saw him rep 135 on OHP for 3 reps as fast as he possibly could, because reasons.

Newbie here. Why does the blue plate weighs 45 lbs but the black one on the ground weighs only 40 but is considerably smaller?

Wow, you must be really new.

The blue plate is an independent plate that weighs 45 pounds. The black "plate" is actually attached to the bar and a single unit - the whole bar-and-plate weighs 40 pounds. These fixed weights are usually on racks, with bars going from 10 to usually 100 or 120.

Each one of the blue plates weighs 45 pounds. The 40 on the ground is the weight of the entire bar plus the weights on the side, and are not removable.

Also newbie note: please note that the standard Olympic barbell that the blue weights are attached to, itself weighs ~20kg (45lb for you Ameriblubbers)

I don't fucking get it, what is even a single thing in this picture?

They applied a visual effect to simulate what happens when you have a stroke

That's terrifying, but thanks

Must depend on area affected cause when i had a stroke everything just turned red/pink as if i put on red stain glasses

Thanks. Sorry I just started lifting.

God, i hope I'm not the gym goblin...

You also made multiple memorable posts.
Good to hear that you recovered.

Dont worry. Most of the people here doesn't lift either

>One time I saw him rep 135 on OHP for 3 reps as fast as he possibly could, because reasons.

As opposed to doing ohp as slow as you can because...?

I would hate going to a gym. Continually having to wait for retards like this to do their entire routine before you can use any of the equipment.

>long, black ponytail
>wears the most ludicrous clothing
>does absurd exercises and leaves shit everywhere
>has used literally 8 2.5kg plates on a bar instead of 2 10kg plates MULTIPLE TIMES
last time i saw him, he was wearing wide jeans, a teal t shirt with a black, sleeveless hoodie over the top. he's a gronk cunt and i hate that i live in the same area as he

This greasy little manlet that wears wife beaters and talks with a New York accent. He destroyed all the barbells doing rack pulls above the knee.

Haha loser

I am the gym goblin
>40kg benchpress
>40kg squat
>70kg deadlift

It's always a guy with those fucking type of shoes, it's unbelievable.

>in weight room
>small bald man hikes insane number of plates on barbell in squat rack
>completely covers hands and barbell in cocaine
>unracks and does bouncy quarter squats
>come back couple days later and barbell is bent like a banana
>quit gym to go somewhere else

gobbo booties?

I know this gym! Tru Fit on 23rd in Mcallen

I had a gym goblin once. Old dude wearing this weird oversized headset just screaming out shit like “WOOO Boston 1892!” Or something and pacing back and forth but never actually doing any working out. Shit was weird.

>The couple that guards EZ curl bars and dumbbells
They're just using dumbells too, they might aswell be at planet fitness, not the expensive and under equipped Y.

>completely covers hands and barbell in cocaine
That's chalk you complete imbecile.

let me guess, they are zoomers

As fast as you can isn't good because you're not letting your muscles experience and get acclimated to the tension.

Can you fucks stop being judgmental?
>"HURR he wears clothes I don't like!"

Makes me feel a lot better about just hitting 2pl8 squats.

>Hispanic kid doing the leg press without any weight in it
>boomers screaming doing 1/4 ROM on machines
>big butts in leggings close to squat rack so I have to 360 spin outta there
>broken water fountain
>cops everywhere.

>see someone not put a weight back
>think about it for the next 10 minutes

Roided out manlet that is big but cant do that much weight. Rides a motorcycle. Push presses 135 cause he cant OHP it normally lmao. Skin like a cooked hotdog.

When will they ever learn?

Better then nothing

Nah u look much better

That's BS. You're trying to reference time under tension, which is for getting a pump, and if that's what you're going for, you should do more reps with less weight.
The real reason doing fast reps is dumb, is because it increases your chances if injury.

Don't have a picture but:

>somewhere in his 40's
>Between 5'10" and 6'
>Will set up 225 on the bench
>Puts on belt, wrist wraps, and a SlingShot
>Hypes himself up for a good 10 mins
>Asks for a spotter
>Will knock out 8-10 reps while grunting at the top of his voice

I've never seen him bench without all the supportive gear.

Thanks. I was more referring to the pose, which seems cringy to me now.

Rent free

Time under tension. How new are you

Saw 2 dudes do 1pl8 bench while wearing a slingshot. Was pretty cringy

Never expected to see a McAllen post here.

Depends on which gym I go to

>Gold Coast Gang
>bunch of midnight black nogs that set up their refugee camp in whatever they’re using

>Skater Boi
>55+ year old skater bro
>never shuts up
>always butting in to your work out
>too nice of a guy to want to tell him to fuck off
>spouts meme tier work out shit

>Gremlin
>65+ fat old man
>gibbers like the fat fuck from office space
>same glasses too
>turrets forced him to scream
NYYYYYAAA.... ELIZABETH

Honestly the gremlin used to bother me a lot but now when I hear his muffled screech through multiple closed doors on a different floor I have to drop my weight because I start laughing too hard

>Get to gym
>Cardio warmup, head over to weights. Empty except me and a guy doing incline shoulder press on smith machine
>Start my routine
>Guy still on smith machine after I've done 2 different exercises. Here we go.
>2 more evercises. Still there. Notice he spends most of his time just sitting on it. Maybe does 3 reps then stops for 20 mins.
>He's not big. He's lifting light. Frequently gets up, messes round with weights, then does 3 reps and stops. Its like he's in slow motion.
>I go to deadlift platform, next to smith machine. He's just sitting there. Stares at me while I bust out 3x5, so I say 'You wanna be on here mate?'
>'No, I'm on this. You're on that...'
>OK
>1hr 45mins later I head out. Owner asks if that dick is still sitting there, I say yes. Owner heads over and starts bellowing 'I've told you before, stop sitting on this fucking machine all day doing nothing. Now get the fuck out, you're not even sweating'.

Why does the smith machine soothe autists? Is it the noise?

That’s actually the gym i go to, I wish the other people at the gym weren’t all normies that don’t know what the fuck they’re doing

lmfao based gym owner

Time under tension is bullshit. Lifting as fast and as explosively as possible maximizes muscle fiber recruitment.

My torn meniscus

kek

swarms of mexican and indians on their fucking phones not doing shit but getting in the way

There is this one Irish redhead with a beer gut that shadowboxes with a couple 4lbs dumbbells and grunts for twenty minutes, then leaves.

I'm gonna find your weeb ass and rape you till you love me, faggot

but he also snorted the same powder he covered his hands in

that faggot with facial hair like this you just know is lifting to punch nazis!!!!!111!11!1!!11
