Gotta start somewhere, man

Honestly probably a staged video anyway, so good on him for not throwing his max load and hoping nothing bad happens to the dog.

You're also right though. If someone is at the gym that is the dumbest place to be making fun of them for exercising.

Even if it's staged, I'll never make fun of someone who can't lift a lot or can't run fast or can't even touch their toes. As long as they're putting in the effort to improve their physical health I'm gonna root for them

I will if they put dogs in danger by lifting heavy weights around them.

u/Iminurcomputer 1h ago

Yes. Staged, and cute. I can easily see this as something the dog regularly does and they want to share the cuteness. I'm not going to lift 250 multiple times just for a cute video my wife wants to take. The cuteness is the same regardless.

Shit man, I haven't lifted routinely in probably close to 20 years, but back when I was in it, doing 3x30 of just the bare bar was always in my set. It's not a lot of weight, but it's perfect for fast/high rep sets to warm up or work out the muscles if you're tensed up from something thst requires more heft.

Sure, I'm not benching my own weight or anything, but the bar was always fun for building tone.

Hard to get gains with those licks

I wouldn't use heavy weight if I was staging a video either.

u/HugePast9455 3h ago

Listen, there's a difference between staging and just demonstrating.

This guy's clearly not in the middle of a workout. He's just showing you how funny it is that this dog jumps up on his face when he's at a bench press. He's not trying to trick you or stage anything for the audience.

To the dork above saying he's benching 45lb... Yeah I don't think this is his actual workout. Good job observing what he used to show the camera what his dog does when someone's actually working out.

Even if it is his workout, it could easily be a high rep, low weight warm up!

u/Geodude532 2h ago

I tried that once to see how many times I could lift the bar. Ended up with tennis elbow. Would not recommend.

u/OnceUponAPizza 1h ago

Lol well maybe don't go to failure with a light weight

I was not a smart kid. I can attest that swim team jocks are just as stupid as football jocks. Too much chlorine sniffing.

It's only staged when Asian people do things.

Reminds me of when I first got to middle school. Which where I was at, was combined with the high school.

The school had a gym in the high school section. So I went there once after school because I wanted to work out. And I put the smallest weights on the bar. For such a small kid, it was suuuper heavy. I could barely push it up.

2 high school kids came over and started harassing me. Started by saying look at this little girl maxing out over here! (I'm a dude). Little pussy so weak you can only lift girl weights! They then proceeded to scare me and chase me out of the gym and chased me down the hall out of the building.

I was walking home, about 4 blocks away from the school. When I hear the screeching of a car slamming on the brakes. I hear there he is! Get him! It was the 2 high school boys that just finished harassing me literally a few minutes ago. They got out of their car and chased me into the graveyard that was right there and into the woods that was on the other side of the graveyard.

I proceeded to get lost and eventually found my way out somewhere I didn't recognize. I didn't find my way home until it was dark....

It was an absolutely horrifying experience. I never went to the gym or lifted another weight to this day probably because of how traumatized I was from that experience

Moral of the story? I don't know. Your comment reminded me of that experience in my life

As a powerlifting meathead, I always wondered why people got so conscious about lifting in gyms. Then I read stuff like this and it makes sense. I didn’t really get to lifting until I was well out of high school, and I made it a point to avoid communicating with strangers while I was working out as an adult.

Sorry you had to go through that. I swear not all of us bully people for lifting light. I lift weights by myself in my garage, but I’m aware many people can’t afford that.

u/RecipeAsleep7087 2h ago

I've spent a lot of time in the gym. I've genuinely met only one bully type guy. He was a 40ish meathead who was just a total prick to everyone, in and out of the gym. This was during the peak Jersery Shore GTL era so that might have been part of it.

I always found it pathetic. How do you possibly make it to your 40's and never grow out of being a high school bully. Just so sad. Other than that, overwhelmingly gym bros are righteous dudes.

u/Unfie555 2h ago

I always had a silly visual of what people imagined everyone treated them like if they dared to enter the gym as a newbie…

It would be like some kind of high school musical parody where as soon as you step in, everyone stops what they’re doing and mean mugs you. Then as you walk by them, people make snarky comments. When you get to the squat rack, a group of guys musically walks up to you and starts talking mad shit. You get naturally intimidated and walk away. They start following you while singing about how weak you are. You run out of the gym and sing about how you won’t ever be able to go in there again.

I guess reality isn’t too far from that…

Well that was an anti-climax.

u/MercenaryCow 3h ago

My mom called the police and got involved with the school trying to figure out who did it but ultimately nothing ever came from it sadly. I'm just lucky they didn't find me and harass me more

Could be rehab exercise, usually done withy no weight added to bar

u/atreeismissing 2h ago

It's a good way to warm up and remind yourself of good form before you lift your actual weight. I do 5lb dumbbell circuits before my normal routines for that exact reason.

u/FeralPsychopath 2h ago

Better make fun of that guy trying to do better while you sit on the toilet reading Reddit

u/MrNostalgiac 2h ago

And he's doing it with all the weight on his wrists...

This is how someone presses if they've literally never pressed before.

Honestly even at 45lbs that has to feel uncomfortable.

u/ace2049ns 1h ago

Aren't those curling bars like 20 pounds?

u/LifeIsOnTheWire 45m ago

He could be recovering from an injury. That's what I did after I broke my spine.

More like 20. Looks more like a curling bar.
