     @Tony @coolboymew I haven't been to a non-home gym in years. I hear women have turned them into an awkward HR catlady warzone.

     @vic @Tony oh yeah, that was a big topic at some point. With OF thot being everywhere apparently it's nuts, they'll come in half naked in suits that shows every damn curve, then they'll complain you're looking at them and they'll be shooting videos in the gym, possibly using you as a fucking nonsense comedy prompt as an excuse to show her face

     I like the gyms with hand chalk.
     
     Faggots and women stay away from those. At least the ones who arent serious

     When the weights are too heavy you have to drop them. You can't PR with weights you know you can lift.
     
     But only people who lift deal with that problem lol.

     I was trained by a professional powerlifter in HS in weight training. So, we always had chalk. You put it on your hands so you can grip the weights better.
     
     Most normies will never deal with this though. It's when you are lifting heavy weight, you don't want sweaty hands to mess up your grip. It's used when you bench 200 plus or squat like 250-300. When you get into the heavy weights you need to be able to grip the bar/weight.

     Not really. Idk. I'm mid tier.
     
     i can lift more than probably 90% of the population in my age range. however when it comes to competition status, I'm bottom 10% right now. I "lift" more than the average person, but I don't have interest in competing.
     
     It's gyms where the general goal is to "get big". Like people who are there to train for competitions or to actually have big arms.

     Idk exactly what you mean, but right now I'm fat. Im 5' 8" and right now around 200 pounds because beer, cookies and holiday food lol.
     
     I have aroun 54" shoulders and a 32" waist
     
     But when I get on a workout binge, I end up around 185, bench about 300, 60-80 pushups in a row, 18 or so pullups and able to run a 10k at around a 8.5 min pace.
     
     I don't squat so my squat is bad. When i'm working on it for 3-6 months I can get 300 plus but I'm always way too scared to die so I don't really do it. For legs I mostly run and do body weight stuff.
     
     I was super in shape until thanksgiving when I put on literally 15 pounds from holiday food. 🙄

     Idk, like deadlifts, there is a certain form. If you don't do it properly you can severely hurt yourself.
     
     Most people go to heavy, doing 10 good form squats at like 100 lbs is better than 3 horrible form at 200 lbs.
     
     Most people just have no idea, so I recommend people don't squat. If you are going to do it, spend like 2 hours watching youtube videos. You just have to learn how to not put the weight into your back...
     
     I do some overhead squats (hold a bar above your head) and I literally use like 40 lbs lol. I don't give a shit if someone judges me for light weight, 40lbs with good form does way more

     Those are good for sure! Try to do like 300/day for a month. Lol you will be amazed.
     
     It's hard as balls and you might not be able to walk for like two weeks, but high rep, low weight will buuurrrnnn fat and make you strong af.

     @Tony @vic Heh, I'm going slowly up, to avoid hurting myself as much as possible. 300 would probably wreck me right now but I could probably augment it a lot for goblet squats. I do about 60 of these for legs day
     
     I'm starting to slowly outgrow these 30lb max weights and will have to buy specialized shit soon

     when I say do 300 per day, I mean just that. Even if it's like ten at a time.
     
     0 weight even and it will change your body.

     Good for you man!
     
     It's a good challenge. I did it last year, but i wouldn't do all 300 at once. Like 50 in the am and then randomly throughout the day I banged out 10-20 until I hit 300.
     
     Anyway, I love fitness and lifting I just never have anyone to talk to about it. I've been lifting/interested in it for 15 years now.

     @Tony @vic 300 in a day sounds pretty great. I really should try that. I've been thinking about that actually because I'm hitting walls during arms day
     
     I lift super heavy weights with certain techniques to tire my arms, then do some other arms exercises with lesser weights (the limit I could for these anyways) and it actually leave me sore the day after
     
     However, I end up having to leave some exercises, like lateral raises, because I just can't lift that amount anymore during my session. However, a few hours after? I probably could

     I add in some super low weight high rep exercises when I plateau. Like for lateral raises if I can't do my weight, I'll do 100 with 5lbs
     
     That will mess you up, because it's high rep and light weight which is different from high weight exercises.

     @Tony @vic I see, I should probably try that. Instead of trying it with... with the metal bar it should probably be 17lb or such, I could do a LOT with the 12lb weights I have
     
     I've been focusing on nothing but max weight I could for exercises, which probably isn't always ideal?

     I do "pyramids" so take curls for example. Start with:
     
     5lbs: as many as you can until failure
     10lbs: as many as you can until failure
     ....(keep going up until you can only do one rep)
     ....(then go back down doing as many as you can until you can't, even if it's one)
     
     And you're arms will hurt like no other

     @Tony @vic nice. I've started doing the heavy lift thing before the workout because I was super unsatisfied about arm days. I just didn't feel sore and I felt it was abnormal. I know you don't necessarily need to feel sore to have some results, but I want to be fucked up. I want to be immensely sore the next day or else it just ain't satisfying

     Do it with 5lbs and just do 100-200 reps.
     
     Building muscle is a lot more than just how much you lift.
     
     There is fast twitch muscle, slow twitch, and then tendons that hold everything in place.
     
     olympic gymnists don't curl 60 pound reps lol. They do 50 pull ups.
     
     A lot of people who get into lifting just want to lift big things, but focus more on body functionality and you'll be "fit" not just strong.

     @Tony @vic thanks, I'll try that next arms day or... Since it's not heavy weight, I can actually do these outside of arm days, aren't I? Supposedly something about light exercises being a benefit when muscles are recovering or something?
     
     Or should I just do it sometimes during arm day?

     @rlier23 @Tony @vic I have super tiny arms so I really want to get bigger too
     
     But overall I got into it via Ring Fit Adventure, mostly because of health. COVID years at home wrecked me on top of me absolutely fucking up my upperback like an idiot. Ring Fit's overhead press absolutely gave me a lot of muscles on the upper arms and strengthen the right muscles on the upper back with back press
     
     It completely solved my upper back problem

     Absolutely, muscles recover from "blood flow". So stretching and light exercises throughout the day will increase muscle recovery.
     
     For example, if you do a heavy weighted leg day and are so or can't walk right, do body weight squats to warm up the muscles and get blood flowing.
     
     Getting fit is about listening to your body, so also try out stretching and eating a proper diet.
     
     you'll get more gains from these sorts of things than simply focusing on "HOW MUCH CAN YOU LIFT"

     I always ran instead of lifting legs. Idk. I have bad form and just don't like lifting heavy legs.

     @Tony @TURBORETARD9000 @rlier23 @coolboymew The people who have been poor at one point are going to do a lot better in the future than those who have never been poor, at least they'll have an advantage at the start in being able to handle the shock.

     @rlier23 @Tony @vic @coolboymew I hate running but i can lift around other adults without much issue, one time my mom had a crash with a bike and my grandpa was trying to de-escalate the situation but my mom was being a bitch and yelling louder in fron of the police, got mad from her yelling grabbed her from the ribs carried her across the street and slammed her feet on the ground, she shut up in atonishment.

     I think she was around 170lb to 180lb back then while i certainly was more fit at about 200lb and uhh i think 19yo
