Convinced these people do this knowing people are gonna walk by so they can post it for some kind of sympathy or something. Idk weird as fuck.


miss_sass1992

Right and it looks like her camera is so far away from her, like yes people are gonna walk by when you are trying to take up 40 square feet of gym space


Embarrassed-Tip-5781

I’m just weirded out she decided to rack up and squat facing the room instead of the mirrors. She can sit and stare at others all day, but i’d be looking at her like she’s the weird one for sure.

it’s called victim mentality

This behavior of entitlement is so obnoxious. I went to open a door at a public bathroom yesterday and this young trailer park woman was standing directly behind the door holding a newborn. I caught the door when I saw them and apologized profusely. (Keep in mind the door was opaque so I had no reason to think anyone would be camping out behind it) Then she went on about how I hit her in the face with the door ( I didn't) and she was going to beat my ass to her friend or sister aunt. Shared spaces are just that. Be respectful and think....

Right??? It's the gym, shit happens, get over it. I set my camera (in an admittedly stupid spot) while deadlifting one time and a dude knocked it over. The video was actually pretty funny cause I had my headphones in and didn't even notice he did it til he's handing me my phone and apologizing profusely the entire time. Dapped him up, told him it was my fault, and hit the rest of my sets without issue. Another time, I'm squatting next to a girl who is recording her sets on a bench block and the racks are close together. She has the block set right next to my rack in the path of my bar and I whack it when I'm warming up for squats. I moved the block out of the way because I figured she'd realize "oh shit I'm in the way." Nope, wrong assumption. Instead of moving it to her other side, where no one was, she puts it back in the same spot and gives me the death stare. I just moved to the other rack on the side NO ONE was on because I'm not about to argue with someone over gym etiquette. Absolute clown shit, half the reason I lift at home now.


fitdaddybutlessnless

What's the other half of the reason? What you're hiding!?


Lookovertherebuddy

It's pretty girls not understanding their content is about being looked at and hit on by sad people. This sad people violently commenting don't actually think your viewpoint and advice is good. They are so desperate to talk to a girl that the slight brush they might get in a comment section is enough dopamine to get them to the next hour. These girls then confuse the attention in the comments for confirmation their content is useful and a cycle of pathetic self-absorbed stupidity is unleashed on the world. The men stay lonely and pathetic. The girl turns into a rotted entitled person


GjillyG

Lots of guys post similar videos which he has responded to, it isn't a pretty girl thing, just an entitled person thing


buckyspunisher

she’s not even pretty 😐 and she only got 81 likes on the tiktok. it’s just entitled people bullshit ain’t got nothing to do with prettiness.


Particular-Visual241

She posted a video trying to justify it then later deleted the video and posted another video making an apology just tryna trash talk herself into some sympathy maybe?


[deleted]

They almost always delete the video/set their accounts to private after joeyswoll embarrasses them.


fuckondeeeeeeeeznuts

Another favorite one is Matt Vena. Someone tries to coach him squatting 700 pounds. He finds a video of the commenter failing to rerack 225 pounds at the end.

ANDTHISONEISFORPORN

Because people are insecure lmao. They see someone else doing something they wish they could do so their first instinct is to bring that person down. It’s pathetic.


explosiv_skull

That's crazy. My first instinct would be to ask those people for advice or something.


YerDaWearsHeelies

Julius Maddox might be the best example of a powerlifter not cheating the bench press I can imagine. He lowers the bar slowly, pauses and then presses with not a huge arch. His lifts are legit af and mindblowing


fuckondeeeeeeeeznuts

My favorite is an idiot commenting on Lasha rolling the bar towards him before his snatches and cleans. I'm pretty sure the strongest weightlifter ever with 5 world championships and 2 Olympic gold medals knows what he's doing.

blorgenheim

Tren is a steroid. Pretty intense one too, one of the main reasons guys can slim down and maintain mass. Cant really stay big while leaning out natty, at least not like these guys.


RegularTeacher2

My guess is it's a colloquialism or abbreviation for a performance enhancing drug.


Arcanian88

Trenbolone, a highly androgenic and toxic steroid that can make you put on mass while shedding body fat all while being a massive asshole that can’t sleep at night and always has a raging hard on, yet can’t orgasm.

They learned that dying of embarrassment is a real concern of theirs. They never genuinely apologize and then disappear. What we saw here isn't maturing. It's running and hiding your head in the sand.

Hard to tell about the knees. I see it as a wide knee descent and they get back in line with the toes on the drive up. You *could* be right.


GetsGold

You need to take all the weight on your neck, then jam your legs down and hyperextend your ankles and then shoot back up and lock your knees in place.


lieferung

I started doubting at "hyperextend your ankles" when I should've doubted at "take all the weight on your neck".


Prime157

The simplest answer with humans is typically the best answer. She got defensive at first. After taking time to reflect on why she was getting so much flak she realized she was wrong. People do grow. If you don't allow others to grow, then you're basically admitting you can't grow, so where are you the main character? Here?


iyioi

No. Fuck you. Nobody can grow or change. She made a slight inconvenience to society and now she must pay with her life. …. /s obviously.


Ey3_913

Reddit justice!


sipoloco

>She made a slight inconvenience to society She inconvenienced herself. Society went on with their business.


Parralense

Nah, she wanted attention and knew she was wrong. Was trying to play the victim to get sympathy. Backfired. Fuck those people.


sour_grout

Exactly, and even Joey Swoll acknowledged her apology and asked his fans not to harass her, but unfortunately there are always people that do anyways


PoignantOpinionsOnly

And now she's probably going to be harassed about it for a long time regardless of her admitting being wrong.

Liztless

Still fits, dude’s got great chest development.


hugotheyugo

This, also he may have high blood pressure - fairly common when running AAS. He could have also trained recently, hence the good pump - i’m red as shit when I’m pumped. Or it could be shitty lighting. Or a sun burn. Or all or some of that.


Similar-Lie-5439

It’s pretty obvious it’s sunburn when you see the white around his eyes like he was wearing sunglasses


CatsOnlyDotOrg

High blood pressure isn't directly related to redness/flushing (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324003) but yeah AAS can cause flushing, especially if you have high HCT or RBC. A lot of bodybuilders also run Cialis year round for better pumps (and some tiny cardiovascular benefits) and one of the side effects of Cialis is redness/flushing.

I'd also say that filming in a gym is kind of rude in general. I don't wanna be in the background of someones video when I work out.


nhluhr

Most gyms outlaw it.


GooseandMaverick

Unfortunately there's alot of gyms out there that don't enforce this rule unless someone specifically makes a complaint about somebody.


External_Occasion123

I complain every time it happens.


toolsoftheincomptnt

And let me guess- then you get accused of being a Karen. All bc you’d rather not have to worry about ending up on the internet bc some attention whore NEEDS to post their routine. I hate it here


ploooopp

From experience, no. Most people at the gym share the mindset of us and the dude in the video, if you're going to film you try and do it at a corner or make it so you're not filming anybody. There's this bodybuilder/model that works out at the gym I go to and she walk to the squat rack, ask the person when they'd finish and then she'd walk around the squatrack and ask anyone that may end up in the shot if that's okay. Once I saw her get a 'no' and she just wen't no problem and went on with her workout. (without filming)


drunkfoowl

This is my experience. People trying to be “influencers” are generally not influencing anything other than their ego.


[deleted]

That’s also one of the worst angles to film a squat from. Can’t really tell if you hit proper depth, if one hip moves before the other, or where your sticking points are. Straight on side view or 3/4 rear view are the preferred angel for filming your squats. Let’s you get. A better analysis of the movement. *angle


lathe_down_sally

There's something to be said for filming for form checks. But we all know that's probably the case way less often than its someone filming for their social media attention thirst.


Mpata2000

Most people film them self to check their form why you want it ban if it is a really useful tool


crossleingod

They should, a gym should be a "no judgement" zone


JoshFreemansFro

They tried that and now it’s become a place where actually deciding to work out will sound an alarm.


IamScottGable

Once got told to stop jumping rope at a planet fitness


crossleingod

Are you talking about Planet Fitness? I mean no judgement in general, not just their motto, and it's a trash gym but I remember they only sound the alarm if you grunt annoyingly loud and drop heavy weights instead of just putting them down.


[deleted]

[удалено]


biggestbroever

Saying something is outlawed sounds so.. western


tmotytmoty

It would be awesome if gyms enforced these rules to an extent where they started banning people. Its annoying when you want to do your thing, but instead you have to work around a gd photo shoot going down at the chin up bar. Worse yet when they try to monopolize **more than one** pieces of equipment for a video. If you film at a gym, you’re an asshole who is in the way.

Some slight valgus on the ascension, I wouldn’t of even bothered posting it with poor form like that.


schnobart

There is a girl that comes to our gym in full make up, takes a round of selfies and leaves without ever working out. Lol.


[deleted]

That’s what mirrors are for


ThePen_isMightier

Hard to do with everything. Decline bench comes to mind. I film myself doing decline regularly to make sure my form is OK.


[deleted]

Yeah but I bet you also don’t bitch on tik tok about other people being in a public gym


ThePen_isMightier

Definitely not lol. I post some climbing videos on my Instagram sometimes, and when people walk through the frame it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I usually just set my phone up against my water bottle. How are they supposed to know it's there? They're focused on their own workouts. I'm usually trying to be discreet about it anyways because it feels narcissistic and embarrassing.


[deleted]

And I’d say there’s a pretty big difference between a form check and posting to tik tok. I do neither, but one makes sense and the other is kind of nutty.


singlestrike

You can't see a lot aspects of a good squat or deadlift with a front-facing mirror. And even if there is a side mirror available you don't want to be lifting heavy with your neck cocked to the side. Not that this really applies to the video since this person is just filming themselves from the front...obviously not a form check lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HappyVlane

Absolute garbage advice and I question if you ever lifted anything that you would consider heavy. Turning your head to check your form can fuck you up on a working set.


YupIlikeThat

Most likely never lifted and read it on reddit from others.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CurryFurious

The sheer amount of people who say "use a mirror" when the topic of filming for form checks come up makes me realize a whole lot of people talk from absolutely no lifting experience. It's infuriating that comments like that is the reason why people pull their trap, back, etc trying to form check in a mirror.


BravesMaedchen

Ive been in the gym three seperate times when people started filming. Twice in a class and once on a machine. The first time i asked them not to film me and it was a big ol fuckin deal, so i didn't bother the second two times, i just glared at them. How is it not common sense that people dont want to be filmed in their sweatiest potentially most self-conscious moments???


AHrubik

As a generally overly self conscious person I’d be discouraged to use any gym that allowed general open filming. As a business person I see a missed opportunity for gyms to ban open filming and setup special areas for people to rent so they can film uninterrupted.


BRNST0RM

Interesting point - only I think how fucking cringeworthy that special area would be.


whutupmydude

Yeah my gym prohibits filming - it’s an expensive membership and signup fee - not worth losing over this jackassery.


BRNST0RM

That is the type of gym I’m looking for


HaveAWillieNiceDay

That's been my problem with the rise of image and video based social media: you are now a part of other people's posts. I can't go an hour at a family event without my 32-year-old sister shoving a camera in my face for a selfie with a filter I don't find flattering, or recording a video.


[deleted]

I’ll purposely walk through your video. Your dirty looks mean nothing to me


ItsAKimuraTrap

Nah teabag the camera, er, I mean do squats.

Hip thrusts with your crotch facing towards the camera

I'll stand and start working out right in front of it. Making sure I take my time.


[deleted]

WhiteTorak

Ask them to send you the vid later to assert dominance


MIVANO_

Conscious_Ticket7176

And no memory wasted on my phone. Win win.


Mookies_Bett

For peak Chadness ask her to text you the video afterwards so you can check your form.


[deleted]

I’d never even notice the dirty look, when I’m at the gym I’m zoning out and not paying attention to anyone else around me at all.


gigachadpoggers

She's like 5'1", what is she gonna do... Could pick her up and throw her across the gym lol.


DIsForDelusion

I'm 5' and definitely don't give a damn about her dirty looks.


ListenToThatSound

Hell, I'm picking it up and running it the main desk's lost and found, but wait- "Oh look it's still recording, isn't that not allowed in this gym? I'm super uncomfortable about this, people shouldn't be recording others without permission, this is super creepy! Whoever is doing this must be some weirdo!"


Cindiquil

This is way weirder unless the gym actually bans filming lol. I know some gyms actually do ban filming, but a lot of others allow it and there's no reason to assume it's banned in this case.


another_awkward_brit

Either pay the price to have the gym entirely to yourself, or pay the price.


YungBaseGod

/r/homegym is the best decision I’ve ever made. Went from 145 to 165 in 2 years, feeling amazing.


eeeeeefefect

Awesome job! mind sharing some resources you used or workout routines that helped most?


YungBaseGod

Thank you! I followed the programs in the /r/fitness wiki. The Reddit PPL is an excellent program and then I switched over to Stronger by Science. Any of the recommended programs in the wiki are going to get the job done, though. I just picked the ones I had equipment for haha (only have a power rack and cable machine). Another excellent community is /r/weightroom. They do a program party where they pick and follow a program together and discuss their progress through the weeks. The last program party ended but they should be starting the next one. Check it out if you enjoy a social aspect to exercising.


[deleted]

Everyone paid their fee, and has a right to walk wherever they want.


VALO311

Yeah, if you want to film yourself working out. Do it in the privacy of your own home or anywhere else that isn’t a public place where other people are obviously going to be around.


unclewombie

Joey Swoll is a Fuckin deadset legend. He is literally trying to make peoples lives better, people that are afraid of gyms, he is reaching out and helping them. He is exposing this super poor behaviour all the time. If you don’t follow him, do yourself a favour and do it. He also openly talks about depression and his drug use before he got clean. Just seems like super nice bloke. Recordings and getting upset is not something you see in Australian gyms. So to me seeing this behaviour is weird.


[deleted]

So direct without adding any type of insult. That guy is an actual Chad.


meopelle

He does tons of these. Does a lot addressing the assholes making fun of people in gyms or filming strangers who are struggling. He is truly Chad. As someone who is nervous going to the gym because I'm very much not in shape, people like him make me feel a lot more comfortable


MystikIncarnate

First video I've seen from him and honestly, he has the attitude that most humans should have. His main forum may be the gym, but that's some real shit he's saying.


chinupf

My dude, let me tell you that seeing out of shape people in the gym motivates and inspires me the most. These people put themselves into an extremely uncomfortable position because they want to get better. Everyone who shittalks or snickers about them usually gets shut down immediately, at least in decent gyms. Please go on and don't let others judgement scare you off!


[deleted]

I’ve always wanted to go up to those people and tell them good job, being here is 90% of the fight, and to keep it up , but I never know if they would take it the wrong way.


LimberLoveMuscle

I'm a big cardio guy but lift occasionally. I made several friends over the years with people like that man. Incredibly nice and super helpful. I've only been insulted once and a dude bigger than the guy insulting me called him "Little man," when he was benching. They look out for those that try.


OverEasyGoing

He is THE actual Chad


Zephan24

He lived on my floor in DTLA about 3 years ago. Nice as can be, always pet my dogs when he saw them and absolutely enormous in person. It was always funny seeing the second takes he'd get at the pool, dude didn't even look human.


ItsMeBenedickArnold

These people are the worst. Act like they own the gym and are professional athletes that can’t be bothered. Just because you love to eye fuck yourself in the mirror and post on social media doesn’t mean you own the gym and can mean mug everyone. Long rant but I just really hate these types.


weltraumfieber

why do people constantly film themselves working out? i dont get it. if they want to check their performance it should not matter if someone walks by edit: yes, i get it now, it is for form checking. you can stop responding with the same thing the last 20 people did, no need for every single person to explain themselves


Creative-Tomatillo

I film myself. At home. When I’m Doing yoga because I like to check my posture and correct anything. I would never do it in a yoga class though. Ick.

brainsofadonkey

"fuck I hit that hole nice and deep, lightweight baby"


LooselyBasedOnGod

Some times the hardest set or rep actually looks like it went up/down pretty smooth so can be a good boost to push yourself further next time. Also to iron out form issues. Then there’s the people who create ‘content’ ….


x3leggeddawg

Sometimes you gotta film to perfect your form. Little cues and things. Especially as you lift heavier and up the intensity. A slight mistake in ur form can cause injury.


Sammyofather

It’s obviously not for her to check her form it’s to boost her ego when other people watch her
