Today while I was doing squats there was a guy doing deadlifts. He had a belt on. HE started with one plate. Then he did 185 with chalk. He was taunting some of his little girlfriends to lift it and one of the chubby ones did and got it. Then he chalks up again and does two plates with an alternating grip. Then he does 1x5 of 275 and thinks he's the shit.
MFW when I'm a landwhale that's been training for a month and I can deadlift two plates with no belt, zero chalk, and an overhand grip.
Anyway, watch your form, deload if you need to, and keep going. With the exception of the shit form, you're doing just fine.

It is. Maybe it didn't come across well in my post, but that was my point. I'm a barely trained noob, and I can lift almost as much as this gymrat, and I can do it without the chalk and belt and the alternating grip. I'm sure I'm being helped by the fact that I do low bar squats, which work similar muscles to the deadlift.
I dunno, maybe the guy is a super ecto and he's been busting his ass for a long time to get those lifts, but I was really unimpressed.

Rule of thumb: Everything below 3pl8 is nothing to brag about. Everything below 4pl8 is nothing to brag about when you're in the gym. And unless you hit 5pl8, you have no right to call yourself a powerlifter. So yeah, the guy was an ass. 3/10, would not wrassle with. No homo, of course.

I'll go to the gym today, parties are over, the vomit has been flushed and the weed smoke is already out of my lungs. I have been on a shitty gym for the first three weeks of the year and haven't deadlifted since early December, I've been doing db rows instead since then.

It's very counterintuitive, but it works for me. At least when it comes to deadlifts and squats. Lighter weights and higher reps allow you to more easily muscle yourself through a completely shitty form.

OP again. Today, I saw two faggots curling in the squat rack. It wasn't even heavy. It was just the empty barbell, and the fags did a lot of half-reps. And there was no free squat rack.
When I finally got to the power rack, though, some guy was asking me if I needed help unracking the weight, because I was trying to get a 95kg barbell to ground level without unloading it. This has restored my faith in the gym.
>>85915
My form is shit. What annoyed me was not the advice, it was the attitude. Someone else once pointed out that my back was rounded (although back then, I was struggling with 115kg), and I appreciated that. Another time, some big guy came to spot me on the bench press. It was the most useless spot I've ever gotten, but at least he was really nice.

It's not about the form, I got my a note on my form once by 2 dudes in the gym, on my second time squatting and thanked them for it
I got some other notes but they were minor feet should point slightly inward or outward, nothing like curving my back or twisting
These dudes don't know shit, the Hack squat is Quad-driven, they are convinced it's for the sole purpose of getting some definition into your hamstrings and the muscles of your back, those same dudes aren't convinced that deadlifts should be done 5-10 reps the fuckers do 4*10 sets and think I am a madman for deadlifting 115kgs for 5 reps and think it's too heavy although my form was good and they didn't comment on my form, just the weight THEY BASICALLY DON'T WANT ME TO GO OVER 2PL8, 3PL8 TO THEM IS THE ABSOLUTE MADMANI upped my deadlift to 125Kgs yesterday, bitches

When I asked them for an alternative to the Hack Squats the all went "Smith Machine!"
90 of those gym goers use the smith machine for squats, Benchpresses and OHPs they OHP on a chair using the smith machine
They are convinced that 200kg on the leg press machine is way too much
They tolerate skipping leg days
One of them admitted that he would do every exercise, every lift be it a compound lift or an isolation lift on the smith machine if he could, including the deadlifts

Today, someone pointed out my squat was shit. His advice: Ask a trainer (in other words, 'let someone else deal with your problems') and squat the empty barbell.
I know the trainers, and I know they aren't powerlifters. Harsh as that sounds, I have no reason to assume they can give me competent advice. My experience confirms this.
As for squatting the empty barbell, good one. I was doing 225 lbs. If I do 45 lbs, I will laugh my way through them. No matter how shitty my form will be, I'll be able to 'fix' it by muscling through, AND my muscles won't feel a thing.
Io and behold, my gymbro gave me advice that was actually useful for fixing my squat. It didn't involve a radical deload or insulting my intelligence.
It's funny how the worst advice you'll ever get is unsolicited advice. I had someone who squatted 400lbs for reps correct my form, and it helped. I asked him, because he obviously knew his shit. Giving unsolicited advice is usually just plain arrogant. Bad form or not, my squat is stronger than that of the idiots helping me. You don't look down on people who are fucking better than you, no matter how graceful you look when you lose. I don't tell people benching 315 not to flare their elbows out, either. Sure, my form is way better, but still, they are fucking better overall so I would never dare prescribe them a different rep scheme.
Rant over. Seriously, fuck DYEL-fags.

Plz, Deutschbruh
I have seen DYELs and curlbros who I have never seen squat, or even leg press tell me my squat form was whack and asking me to fix it by doing something completely illogical
>Hey bruh, don't let your knees go beyond your toes while squatting, and no need to go full depth, think of it like sitting on a chair

Shit anon if I was that guy I would have started laughing and probably accidentally have killed myself dropping the bar, you dodged a bullet

Like I said: The guys that lift generally stick to themselves. I have no idea why. One would think that they would be intimidated by seeing someone lift twice their total (i.e. 200 lbs), but nope. Dat fucking delusion.

>It's funny how the worst advice you'll ever get is unsolicited advice.
https://introvertchronicle.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/advice-vs-counseling
>Loud people like to give advice.
>Advice in my mind is telling other people to do what worked for you regardless of whether they’re anything like you.
>There’s inherently something glib, dismissive, narcissistic, and shallow about advice-giving.
>This is why people generally don’t like advice—especially from elders—and tend to ignore it.
>I distinguish ‘advice’ from ‘counseling’.
>A counselor is someone who genuinely tries to step into the shoes of another person and tailor their counsel accordingly.
>The difference is that the counselor strives to understand and empathize when recommending a course of action.
>People tend to take genuine counsel seriously because it is personal, personalized, and sincere.
>To really counsel someone you have to care.
>Advice can be flung around at any time, at anyone.
>Often it is just a means of trying to socially dominate someone else by representing oneself as the wise one and font of knowledge.
>One might as well patronizingly pat the advisee on the shoulder as one shows them the way to the light.
>Introverts are given a lot of advice and in my experience it is almost never helpful because I have little in common with those who give it.
>If one is lost, counselors are the ones to listen to. Few people are willing to stop, talk one-on-one and really try to understand first.
>Where giving advice is to profess that one has wisdom.
>Even a shred of ability to counsel is a proof of some measure of wisdom.
>Is advice worth listening to, then?
>It depends.
>One needs ask only one question to find out.
>“How much is the advice giver like me?”
>If the answer is: “not at all.”
>Consider doing the opposite.

Good. Then it isn't just me being paranoid. One more reason to reject the next one soundly and painfully.
