Thread 76791621

Yesterday I had 295lbs on the squat rack, which I was going to lift for reps. In other words, it wasn't some ungodly amount.

As I'm about to lift, this boomer personal trainer walks by and turns to his client saying in a super smug voice, "And that's what we call ego lifting. We're not gonna do any of that."

I kind of instinctly yell "what did you say?" But instead of facing me like a man, the PT keeps walking and makes a mock crying face to his client, like in picrel. The client then cackles as if I am indeed the gym retard and she already knows more than me.

Literally what the fuck is wrong with PTs.

>>76791621 (OP)
lmao you got wrecked by a boomer

>>76791625
Dude looks like an absolute schlub. And drives one of those cliche huge pickup trucks. Anyways, if having the self-control to not escalate further means I got wrecked, so be it.

>>76791632
It does, yeah. You weren't going to escalate anything, you were always going to internalize it and post about it here. Go snitch to the staff and have him banned or something, but he still rekt'd u

>>76791642
Not going to bother. Pretty sure the dude is friends with the owner. And I like going here because it's close to work.

>>76791621 (OP)
Did you lift it for reps afterwards, or not?

>>76791621 (OP)
Why did you not go ahead with some ATG pause squats as soon as he said that? Actions speak louder than words.

>>76791644
Enjoy the cucking then

>>76791646
>>76791647
Honestly I regret it but I don't lift will when something is preoccupying my head. So I took a minute to calm down and then I did 8 reps (which I'd never fine before at 295). Honestly, a man like that won't admit he's wrong, let's be real. Even if he witnessed, he'd find a reason to shit on me.

>>76791621 (OP)
>Yesterday I had 295lbs on the squat rack, which I was going to lift for reps
Why though. There aren't a lot of good reasons.
>idk just add weight when it gets easier
That's the worst one, thunder thighs.

Old people are truly contemptible

>>76791685
I cycle to work on hilly country roads so I like having extremely strong legs.

>>76791632
You’ve given this a lot of thought of what you should’ve said.
>>76791711
lol

>>76791737
Not really a lot of thought. I mean I thought "schlub" as soon as I saw him. And him driving a truck is just an observation.

>>76791655
Yeah, the guys a faggot, especially so for talking shit but then not being man enough for confrontation. That said, he's the type that will revel in you being a faggot in return. Guys like that are a product of this new-age anti-bullying culture.

>>76791621 (OP)
If you ever see that client alone at the gym, check his form. If there's anything he's doing wrong, politely tell him how to improve his form. Your free advice will undermine the PT's work and he'll probably lose that client. If you see any of his other clients, do the same. Rinse and repeat

>I kind of instinctly yell "what did you say?"
kek I love when guys instinctively get mad and say shit without thinking usually because of minor misunderstandings. Meanwhile I'm out here staring at them without saying anything making them look like spergs to everyone else then go on with my business
Sounds like he's a weak asshole though since 295lbs squat isn't that much

>>76791621 (OP)
The gym is just high school with plates. If you were a nerd who froze up when someone mocked you back then, you’ll freeze up now too. Strength training doesn’t fix cowardice. You can build muscle, but if you still write essays online instead of standing up for yourself, you’re just a stronger nerd.

>>76791755
I know it sounds lame but I am just going to ignore him if he ever pulls shit like that again. At best, my nonresponse will bother him. At worst, I will just not let it get to me so who cares.
>>76791763
The client is one of those 60-something year old ladies who clearly never lifted in her life. I think I'll leave her be. She will likely quit the gym within a month.
>>76791814
I'm getting fit going to work while you sit in your fagmobile.

>>76791632
>>76791711
It actually makes sense why it bothered you so much. The PT was just making some friendly banter, and it completely turned you upside down. He drives a truck and you ride a bike. That is a brutal mogging on every level, status, presence, and testosterone. You felt it in your soul and wrote a post instead of recovering your pride.

>>76791840
I wasn't bullied in HS so this is a bad theory.
>>76791852
Yea, I'm real impressed by retards who go $60k on debt to drive an emotional support truck that they use primarily to drive to their office jobs and Aldi.

god what a fucking shit thread, and that's not on you op
>why dont you start a fight with a pt when he says something as you have 300lbs on your back
>bunch of demooralizers saying shit about mogging or whatever
where the fuck has the old fitness vibe gone what the fuck is this shit

yeah shit situation ideally you can tell someone to fuck off in cases like this but I think it happens to everyone that sometimes you just don't or can't for whatever reason in the end it doesn't matter if hes fat or whatever and you look sick you already won and he's just seething, it's like the fat redditors going off about muh proper form muh egolifting while they're 30%+ bodyfat

honestly had to check to make sure this wasn’t a reddit repost. I always feel like such a chad when I come onto this site lmao

>>76791642
I don't think is worth getting an assault charge, maybe a constant bully to oblivion would be more adequate

>>76791685
Some people go to the gym to actually lift weights instead of sucking dicks like you

He was taller than you, wasnt he?

>>76791865
Basically what happened was people started sharing screencaps and stories about 4chan on Reddit about 10 years ago. The screencaps were funny to redditors, but didnt actually reflect the general culture of 4chan. Yet, curious redditors started coming here in droves and acting like the people they saw in the screencaps (e.g., saying "seethe" and shit). And that's how we get to all the faggotry we see today.

>>76791655
i mean, if you can rep it with good form then it's not ego lifting. that trainer was probably a dyel faggot.

>>76791843
The real question is how many reps of 295 did you do?
If you only repped it once or twice and struggled then it looks bad but if you ripped that shit up and down 5+ times you can't call it ego lifting and who gives a fuck what some boomer has to say

>>76791885
I don’t see what my height has to do with the post. Lots of great men throughout history were short.

>>76791898
Kind of. All the edgelords and spergs from reddit migrated here when reddit got woke and pozzed up. They try and fit in by adopting superficial aspects of board culture but don't understand that 4chan isn't a hive mind like reddit and not every board is /pol/

>>76791906
Dude looked like he half reps 135lbs on the bench, if you know what I mean. For my own laughs, I may try to catch him lifting once to see how he does. I mean, I know age is a factor and I don't expect him to be as strong as me, but even for his age he didn't look impressive.
>>76791909
As I said earlier, 8 reps.

>>76791914
>not every board is /pol/
This explains everything.

>>76791621 (OP)
Just watch tren twins until you take being called an ego lifter as a compliment

What does fix cowardice
A really shitty home life growing up might have given me a fear of confrontation and Im just now starting to realize it

>>76791843
If you wanna be devilish then chat up his client after and say hey just wanted to let you know he's been really creepy and touchy with young girls so if you notice something please report it. You could also try to find his trainer socials and "review" him anonymously if you know what I mean.

>>76791621 (OP)
Should have shouted back YEAH BUDDY EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A BODYBUILDER AINT NOBODY WANT TO LIFT NO HEAVY ASS WEIGHT

>>76791921
/pol/ is the most brown thirdie board on the site though

I had the same thing happen to me, except it was some 40 year old mexican midget, I confronted him and said why don't you try it and pushed on his ego and he hurt himself and the ambulance had to be called

>>76791987
and then you woke up

>>76791910
KEK

>>76791843
Casually ask him for a spot sometime later.

>>76791916
>8 reps
then fuck him lol thats not ego lifting

>>76792055
maybe op's form is dogshit. maybe it's obvious the weight is too high for op.
or maybe the PT is just trying to impress the client.
either way if you looked better he wouldn't have made the comment.

>>76791878
>Mind you he is about 5'8 and thick
Am I supposed to think that makes him large and imposing?

>>76791955
Go to boxing or whatever, having the actual ability to fuck the shit out of people might put things on perspective help you differentiate between situations where using violence is a must or just unnecessary. It still mostly lots of work in your mind, someone saying shit to you will still annoying, we all can tell ignoring retards is the wise path so is mostly about not letting it affect you (this is not "cowardice")

>>76792121
lol bitch ass top klok

>>76791621 (OP)
I’m still mad about it, honestly. He laughed, said some “friendly” joke, and then drove off in his big truck while I had to climb onto my little bicycle. I could feel everyone watching. The sound of that engine was just pure humiliation. I kept thinking about it the whole ride home, pedaling like an idiot while he was already halfway across town with the AC on.

>>76793049
Lmao

>>76791621 (OP)
Did you squat ass to grass and showed him what's what, right?

>>76791621 (OP)
>now they're spamming with adrenaline/cortisol spiking fake stories to steal your gains
when will it end!

For him to be able to speak in front of his clients this way shows that he has social value and clearly knows the owner of the gym. I have guys like this in my gym and they will always try to take you down.

Your best bet at the moment was to tell him to not talk to you like this ever again and mind his own business. Also a serious man who squats this much shouldn’t be fucked with. You have to look more aggressive, you sound like a weak prey. Also what’s your height?

>at the gym with my friends
>see some boomer doing weighted dips
>as I walk past while, I casually say “Ayo weight diaper”
>my friends start chuckling
>boomer gives me a dirty look
He won’t do a damn thing about it

>>76791621 (OP)
What you do is pick up a 5lb plate and cave his skull in. Seriously my guy, if it's worth getting upset over it's worth murdering some.dumbfuck over.

He was just jealous, knows he couldn't squat that much.

>>76791910
I am now 110% certain that this whole thread is bait. Congrats on the (you)s buddy.

>>76791621 (OP)
This is the fifth time or so I've read, "I lifted lower weight and someone said something mean." Stop posting this. The joke is spent and the bait is stale.

>>76793168
Based noticer.

>>76793302
hey bro i saw your cute cat post, no need to double post. also fun fact it’s against the rules to announce a s*ge.

>>76793168
klok get fucked catboy

>>76791621 (OP)
Absolutely assblasted by a boomer. Take the L, move on.

>>76791621 (OP)
well you mogged the trainer originally as his insecurity at seeing you lifting more weight than he ever has forced him to imply you were ego lifting. By simply ignoring him or even gaining motivation from his comments you could elevated the mog to near giga levels. Calmly repping out the weight with perfect form until 0RIR would have cemented this moment as a terramog.
Yet instead your own pride and neuroticism became your undoing- "how dare anybody poke fun at me, filthy normies laughing just like Chad in highschool.."
Anyways it's a funny post, just some food for thought. 300lbs squat in a commercial gym is very good btw, I used to rep 315 and would catch mires all the time, even though I know it's nothing among serious lifters

>>76793502
>300lbs squat in a commercial gym is very good btw
lol

>>76793049
top klok

>>76793444
Checked and klok’d

Brother if you can squat 295 for reps with good form it's not ego lifting. You don't need to get this booty blasted if you can simply prove someone wrong. The guy was calling you out for not being able to do it, but you could, so why get butthurt at all? He's just wrong and you can demonstrably prove it.

>>76791852
Kased.

I made it up myself. It’s the next step after Based, a cleaner and more refined version. I’m proud of it and I want it to catch on. Feel free to spread it and be part of history before everyone else starts saying it.

i had a boomer say something like "he'll put his back out doing that", just out of ear shot when i was doing lightweight deadlifts. That was like a year ago and im still doing heavy deads for sets, even putting my back into it.
Some people are just dyel and cant understand other people can do stuff they are too scared to do.

and trainers in gyms seem to be universally assholes.

>>76791621 (OP)
>'You Cocksucker, Fuck You'
there that'll do it

>>76791621 (OP)
The correct thing to do would have been to either pretend you didnt hear them and thus not give them the satisfaction of a response, or smile and laugh it off. He's already got you cornered with that comment so any escalation is just feeding him

>>76791621 (OP)
>295lbs
>the squat rack
Bro, I've been temporarily Luigi'd for a day or two by less weight. I've always recovered fully, but that boomer wasn't totally wrong... remember when obese powershitjeeta could not redeem twice that weight and crushed her spine fatally?

>>76793049
Actual OP here. This is what retarded truck drivers think cyclists feel. Yet we all know we're superior to you. Also, why would I need AC in November?>>76793136
I go below my thighs being parallel to the ground, if that's your concern.
>>76793188
5'9" He's like 5'7"
>>76793226
Yea then my kids grow up without a father.
>>76793255
That wasn't me.
>>76793669
I'm significantly less butthurt today. It was just a lizardbrain reaction.
>>76793851
Lmfao. I still remember years ago I was doing dumbbell OHP and this Euro twink looking dude runs over as I'm about to press and yells "Stop! You're going to hurt your shoulders!" Like the dude thought that OHP was inherently bad for the shoulders. He spent 2 minutes trying to convince me to stop. Yet he looked like he'd literally never lifted in his life.
>>76794513
It really doesn't feel like much weight to me these days.

personal trainers intentionally try to keep their dumb clients small and weak so they keep paying them for training

>>76795415
This makes the most sense to me. I've never seen a fit person with a PT.

>>76791655
I did 2 reps of 315, kinda regret it a little bit

>>76791865
it's 2025, it's based to be retarded, I'll send you instructions in the mail, you can start by saying stupid shit then adding a gigachad image

>still seething
Get a grip.
