ITT: Things that make you rage at the gym (FOR BROS ONLY - newfags need not apply to this thread)
Today in between my squats and bench, I saw some guy come in, clearly doing (i should say attempting) starting strength. He squats 135 for 3x5, then goes and benches 95 3x5, at this point im just about to explode in laughter until he goes and does pullups but could only do 4 his first set, 3 his second set, then like one his third set. I was laughing to myself the whole time and I could see the other bros were shooting looks at him too. If he ever comes in again I'm just going to tell him to leave.
What stories do you guys have?
pic unrelated, sortof, it was my lunch today

itt: notable characters @ the gym you attend.
i always go after 11pm--place tends to be deserted & i like it that way. less random weights strategically placed to trip me, no aZn brosephs w/ anime hair doing 14 types of curls, checking themselves out in the process, no squabbling over racks or machines. but man oh man, some of the late-night regulars...
* middle-aged, beastly-looking slavic guy who does nothing but squatz & leg presses, something like 340 & 450 respectively. he swears in whatever language he's a native in by the 6th or 7th rep (or @ least it sounds like a cuss.) he's very polite, otherwise. i think of him as a physical manifestation of /fit/, minus the trolling. * tall, old black guy who does 2+ hrs of cardio in like, a full puma running suit. he leaves pools of sweat on whatever stationary bike or eliptical he uses. air is completely unbreathable within a 10-foot radius of him. * 5 foot & spare change indian kid sporting a violently emo haircut who shows up wearing gloves but never lifts. he mainly walks around, hitting the treadmills for short periods of time. i sometimes catch him eying me balefully from afar, as if my sheer existence threatens him. * 45+ lady with pocahontas fucking hair, always freshly washed & fragrant, who hogs like 5 leg machines @ a time & flirts awkwardly w/ the gym attendant. i try to stay away from her, since it looks like she's inclined to flirt awkwardly w/ anything & everything w/ a pulse. * white, late-20s brosipher with the kind of chicken legs that make you rage just thinking about them. he uses chest/arms machines exclusively, no free-weighting. i talked to him once while i was setting up for deadlifting, his name is mark & sells suv's for a living. i didn't dare to ask how "business" is like these days.
tl;dr, wish i had money to have a basement fucking gym. arnold always related.

talk to the Slavic guy more, he sounds like someone who knows what he's doing.
>>1170305 Protip: Gyms are faggot pickup grounds. The Indian kid is checking you and other dudes out.
If you go onto your local craig's list and search "missed connections" and "m4m", I'm pretty sure you'll find several "saw you at the gym checking me out" posts, and one of them very well may be about you.

"The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it’s impossible to turn back.
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black.
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
"He's soft and he's fat and he's wearing my clothes and he's getting too old and he was born on my birthday and I'm afraid if I stop running, he'll catch up with me."-???
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
If a person has been extremely passive for his whole life time, basicly a massive couch potato, never has done any sports, been over weight since childhood etc. The kind of lazy fuck with no discipline in any area of his life.
How much is it possible for him to realisticly change? I know that anyone can fix their eating habbits and lose some weight, but I'm talking about more of a mental change. Of course, in theory, nearly anything is possible, but what about in the REAL WORLD? Do you know people who have changed drastically and grown a spine? Take working out for example. It takes a lot of devotion and self discipline to get really good, but most people who I know who have done it have been doing it ever since they were kids, they've never been losers.
My point might be a little hard to get, but basicly I'm hitting 20 and I've always got everything easy in my life. I've been fat since a little kid and I've never done any sports. I've failed at school for no reason other than complete lack of self discipline. I've always been a quitter. Recently I've tried to change my habbits, I've started to do some simple exercise and learned to cook. I want to take responsibility in my life, and partially I've succeeded. I have a dream that some day I could be a different person; athletic, hardworking, successful etc. But I really find it hard to believe that people can change much. How could I ever get to the point where I'm not constantly thinking of giving up? People don't just get mentally stronger by deciding so, right?
TL;DR: Do you believe that people can change?

I kind of know how you feel. Your description of your life fits mine in a way.
Not sure if we can change our mentalities but we can try.

>>497328 Yeah, it's definately worth it to try. And even if I'll never be like some of the thoughest guys here, at least if I'll be able to build some self discipline and change my ways my life might be a bit more easier.

Yes. You're limited only by motivation (which it sounds like you've got) and genetics.

Hello /fit/ Something happened to me and I feel like I need to share it with someone. I need to talk about it and let it out and it seems that /fit/ is the best place for it since it is related to health.
So here I go, I'll start with this. I had been constipated for about a week. I was my fault, I was eating too much
protein and not enough fiber (I was practically eating nothing but protein and alot of it and very little to no
vegetables). I bought 2 whole chickens and wanted to finish eating them both so I wouldn't waste them. I thought
that I would be fine since I was drinking tons of water but I was wrong. The first constipated stool I passed was
was big long and hard. It took me a good 20 minutes of pushing to force it out of my ass and at the end, there was
some anal ruptures or fissures whatever you call them. There was blood on my toilet paper and in my shit. It ended
up clogging up the toilet. I was afraid to shit while having a torn asshole so I just didn't go when I felt like I
needed to after that.

Four days later (of avoiding the toilet), like an idiot, I was still eating too much protein.. I didn't change my
diet at all. I made a post here about what happened but it wasn't that popular and didn't get that many replies.
Maybe people thought that it was a troll post I don't know. I explained how I sat on the toilet for a solid 2 hours
pushing and struggling to get this new turd out of me but it just wouldn't budge(I ended up pushing it back inside
of me). It was much much larger than the last one that broke my ass and it was much much drier and harder. If you
can imagine a doughnut, it was like my anus stretched to the size of the little circle in the middle and the shit
was the size of the outer circle. I could actually feel how big it was with my hand and I was able to stick my
finger up my anus and actually kind of mold the shit while it was still inside me (weird feeling). I tried breathing
like a woman in labor when I tried to push it out, I tried screaming and pushing it out in long pulses, short pulses
none of that worked. The shit was just too big for my anus and it was too hard and dry that I couldn't squeeze it
through the hole.

Some of the replies I got was to try using soap, try to dig it out with a spoon, sticking a shower head up my ass
and turning it on, some one just posted a picture of a dog without saying anything, and another person mentioned
laxatives. I never really knew what laxatives were for. The only thing I knew about them I had learned from tv
(people playing jokes on people by mixing their food with laxatives). So I went to do some googling on laxatives,
constipation, treatment, etc. I wasn't sure if laxatives were right for me. It seemed like all it would do is make
me want to go to the bathroom but it wouldn't do anything about the big hard shit at the end of the line. After
doing a little research online, I decided that stool softeners was what I needed so I planned on going out the next
day to go out and buy me some (it was already late at night).

So the next day, (today) I went to my mom and told her about it. I said I was in I don't know how to really describe
it. It was sort of like pain but wasnt pain. It was a lot of discomfort and I could hardly walk. So I made my mom go
out to buy it for me. I figure everythings going to be ok when she comes back. I would finally be able to shit
again. She came back with a fucking like portable one time use enema kit. Now, I had done some research the day
before. I knew what an enema was. I wasn't so sure about sticking something up my ass but I figure whats the worst
that can go wrong. Enemas are supposed to be better right?

So anyways, I'm in the bathroom naked (I expected it to be a little messy after seeing a pic of tubgirl). The enema
thing is bascially a plastic bottle with a long thin neck (the part that I have to stick up my ass). It was full of
4 different solutions 2 laxatives and 2 other things saline or something I didn't really care. This was my first
enema so I tried to follow directions the best I could. Theres these pictures ont he side of the box that shows
positions I should try to be in while I.. help myself. The only one I could do was similar to doggy style (the
womans position) as the other positions were like advanced yoga shit and required too much space (small bathroom and
I'm a big guy). So I'm on my knees in my bathroom with my ass up in the air, I jammed the bottle in my ass and
squeezed as much of the solution as I could inside of me. The box said I should wait in that position until I get
the urge to "execavate" (1-5min) but it didn't say anything about if I should leave the bottle there or what so I
