I know he slept that night thinking he was as strong or stronger than me.

>>76355180 (OP)
He knew he was being a bitch, he just didn't want to get mogged so hard.

>>76355180 (OP)
>focusing on other people
and whats the difference between him and you?

>>76355227
I am stronger

I see normies pettiness like this and feel envious. Which I had that level of retardation and ignorance to motivate me

>>76355273
Relative measurement, objective strength is not related to other people. It is intrinsic and axiomatic. That is why most reply to these pissing contest with "there's always a bigger fish". To focus yourself on zero-sum mentality of dog-eat-dog world robs you of joy of bettering yourself. If people were to base their whole identity of being better than the average then we would have greatness.

What matters the most is that you are stronger than you were yesterday.

I don't get this image. Nobody asks olytwinks and strongfats what muscles they're working. They ask bodybuilders and then they explain it in great detail.

It's just a noob doing isolations wondering why pros don't do (as much) isolations.

>>76355312
Yeah I can see that. It's just very unrealistic that he would ask a pro leverager and weight gainer when that's clearly not what he's trying to get into.

the cages were busy today. people were waiting. guy in the cage on my left hand like a 5+ minute rest.
so he gets back from diddling himself in the locker room. I say hey man there's a couple people waiting. it looks like we've got the same weight. maybe you want to work in?
he says "no thanks".
and then I hear his voice. that man is a homosexual.
that man thinks I would give up my super straight card just to break in his boi pussy. yea right.

Noobs tend to try bodybuilding splits, where everything is muscle group focus. So strength and power are totally foreign to them. I do strongman and have had people ask me this exact question when doing unconventional lifts.

>>76355584
If you cant name every major muscle group working in any lift, you're dumb

>>76355616
to name every muscle working in an atlas stone load would be to name every muscle in the body

>>76355639
Wasn't that hard now was it faggot. Stuck up bitch, people like you ruin it for curious gym noobs.

>get on machine leg press after asian woman. She is 4'10 and kinda thicc
>go to adjust the weight, wtf it is already set to what I wanted
>fml she uses the same weight
>start and barely can bend my legs. Move the seat in significantly. Complete my set with proper angles for my knees.

This shit happens a lot. I watch others to double check my form, but I just see shit reps, low reps and higher weights than me. Most days I am fine with it, but occasionally it burns like hell.

>>76355616
>>76355659
Are you retarded? What does any of that have to do with ruining the gym for noobs? When I asked I just say it's a full body movement, and that it's about strength rather than trying to feel the muscles.

>>76355283
I have the ability to produce more force against an external resistance shut the fuck up

>>76355283
Life is an eternal competition you pseud.

>could have made a lifting pal
>preferred being a passive aggressive nigger instead
no wonder you're an eternally lonely 4channer, anon

>>76355616
well at least he doesn't skip leg day
