Like all the invented exercises that look insanely dangerous, loud breathing exercises in the sauna that mimic panic attacks, giving advice to young people who don't want it

This dude today did a serious of exercises that not only have minimal physiological benefit but will soon result in one of his limbs being torn off

In general people that don't know what they're doing assume everything painful earns merit the universe will repay.

Both of those work well if done heavy.

I’ve walked into the locker room only to find an old naked man eating a cartoonishly large hoagie, cellophane hanging off the bottom half which was resting on his substantial gut.

Pretty self indulgent to make a thread about yourself

There's this one old guy at the place I go to who just kinda hangs around this one particular piece of equipment and only occasionally actually uses it. He mostly just paces about it and shouts (he has no "inside voice"; his regular conversational tone is what passes as shouting for most people) at various gym patrons. It's especially weird because he's clearly in decent shape, but I rarely see him work out.

Whenever I see anyone wildly flailing about I assume they're doing some CrossFit bullshit.

Anyway I only do barre and the elliptical machine so I never encounter any old guys (except the Santa Claus-looking dude in his 70s who was in my barre class one time) but SVC always has bizarre stories about the stuff they do in the weight room.

I like the old folks who strap their feet to the pull up bar and just kind of hang there for a while and everyone in the gym keeps glancing over out of the corner of their eye wondering at what point intervention is appropriate

I should clarify I think everyone is too old to do that but I’ve seen probably 55+ doing it and I don’t like it

i was thinking the same
i like the way the rowing erg seems to mystify everyone of any age. to be fair, it takes a good while to get right.

Why do so many old dudes just hang out on the mat and do leg spreads and slowmo air-fucks.
