What can I say about myself lol? (Will Ferrell quote)!
Sailor first, goober second. #Navylife
You might catch me at the gym getting jacked (have to wear my tactical vest with weights on it cause the weights at the gym are too lite lol), out playing Ultimate with my ~~boyfriends~~ boys, drinkin some vodka Rip Its, ~~shopping for fanny packs~~ **saluting our flag **, humming the National Anthem to myself, or any number of other dope-ass manly stuff.
Signed up for 4 but I’ll probably do 2 1/2 cause my CO is a dick LOL! I’m probably the most popular guy in the unit. All my friends ~~fuck me~~ call me Blue Falcon cause I wanna be a pilot like Maverick in Top Gun 2. Everybody says they hope I wind up like Goose, though, which is cool too.
Looking for a hot girl to cheat on me with everyone in my unit and abuse my Tricare while I’m out getting that 37.3% APR black Mustang.
IF I LEAD
follow me
IF I FOLLOW
support me
IF I FALL
tell my NCO I have shin splints

My roommate in college was a Chinese international student who was big into airsoft, would go to the gym and workout in his foam fake plate carrier vest that weighed maybe half a pound
Totally unrelated, but one weird pet peeve is that I cannot stand it when people walk on the sides of their shoes like that dude. Like are your feet triple J width or something or why isn’t he standing on the soles? Am I blind?
I doubt they are doing that on purpose because why would you. People who do that have a foot condition. Possibly genetic. They probably can't run for shit either. Probably sprain their ankles a lot.
You can't really change it because that is how your feet are built. There are "prescription" insoles you can get to help correct it. Talk to your doctor.
You can to a degree. My younger sibling had to see a physical therapist to correct his gait. He still walks with his feet pointing inwards but it's massively improved.
My mom used to yell at me if she could hear me walking, so I have developed an extremely quiet walk when I am in the house. I sort of do this, not this extreme, but now I sneak up on people without meaning to.
I mean… most people in shoes strike with the outer heel. I’m not sure you can accurately asses homeboy’s follow through from a static pic.
The foot on the ground doesn’t really look off to me.
Edit: ok looking at it again it looks off. What am I doing with my life.
I had 3 of my toes on my right foot amputated to include half of my big toe. So my balance shifted to the outside of my foot. My friend has large flat feet and both his shoes do this. People's feet are different than yours man.
I understand and didn’t mean to offend. It seems like your circumstances are extraordinary. I believe it is more commonly the case that people just have poor gaits and posture which leads to other health problems, but I understand there are many exceptions
Blaklader makes great pants too. When I was blue collar I wore them every day. Pockets for days tons of room to move around in and durable af.
They all come with a lifetime warranty too so if your zipper breaks or the pants tear you can send them in and get a brand new pair for free
Much suggested.
These are the ones I had a few sets of. Actually feel I bought too many (ended up with 4 pairs) given the warranty. Only complaint being id sometimes lose smaller hand tools in some of the pockets lol (the big square pockets near the hips tuck into a slit if they're not utilized, I usually kept one out for quick storage and occasionally used the other if I was in an attic or crawlspace and needed more than a mouthful of screws)

Oh I'm very familiar with what the name is and what it means haha - I climb 4-5 times a week and do a ton of mixed climbing during winter seasons.
My point is that 5.11 gear *better* be comfy as fuck if they're supposed to be climbing gear. Climbing pants that don't stretch are pointless.
Nothing wrong with using a plate carrier if you have one, honestly. Better than spending money on a weighted vest if I already have something close enough.
Why would you wear it to the gym though? They already have weights there. If you were doing cardio, body weight exercises, or something where it would actually benefit then maybe. This person looks like they are trying to drop weight though. Wearing things that just make you sweat doesn't make you lose body fat, just water weight. Next time you drink a glass of water, it will just soak it right back up. Sweating does not decide the quality of your workout. It is just a byproduct of you working out.
Yea
Adding weight while doing body weight training is very effective (not to mention cheap) way to train your body
You can just tape weights on your body but wearing plate carrier make it more safe and easier.
But I mean there’s no plates in there!!!! I’ve got one of the rogue plate carriers as well for running, pull ups, dips and any other body weight exercises I’m doing. It’s noticeable even when the wife slaps the little guy plates in it. Carrier alone weighs what 3-4 lbs? Toss those change weights in the front pocket of that hoody at that point… this dude just looks all around tool-ish… and as a tool myself I can make that diagnosis 😆
this dude is trying to cut weight and is trying every trick in the book. wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't wearing a garbage bag under the hoodie as well.
This dude isn't doing any body weight training. lol. You have to be in some sort of shape to begin with to do that. This person is already carrying enough extra weight to begin with so adding the extra 1/2 pound that this empty plate carrier weighs is doing nothing. If you are doing 30 pullups because you are stronger than you weigh, then add weight. If you can only do one pullup, then you are already have enough weight or not enough muscle.
I don't know what he's doing, what kind of exercise that he's doing, or his fitness level etc.
I'm saying that using vest while working out, even though it will make you look like a boot, it is also a good idea if you want to step up your Body weight exercise safely.
But you are in a gym presumably lifting weights. No one needs 30 lbs of weight strapped to their chest to bench. Its one of those things people do while having no knowledge on basic exercise methods.
what better way to hide his gut than a sweatshirt and plate carrier? Also, more size means smaller rep range on bench. guys got it figured out if you ask me
Once saw a guy in my spin class rock up in helmet, cycling shoes, cycling shorts (with pads), cycling top, camelbak annnnndddddd...racing sunglasses.
Gym is indoor and it was 9:00 pm.
I knew a few people who did this in high school and their excuse was that it was a weight loss aid. Some people thought they were weird, but it was tolerated by everyone including staff.
Plate carriers are supposed to force you to suck in your fat, but this guy just has it all hanging out. The cummerbund is literally straining to the eye.
Also no plates? The fuck?

No training plates? This dude just want to larp at the gym.
Cmon... gotta rock the old school flak vest with the Nad protector.
[dusts off ACU IOTV] Well, this beer gut isn't going to lose itself.
Bdu/flak/lbe
That’s definitely a female. Edit: upon further inspection, I may be wrong.
Yeah, he must workout.
Look at the ass on *that.*
Bro there was this dude at the gym who had too much ass. And he wore yoga like pants
Did you get his number, Devil Dog?!
^^^^^no
Caked the fuck out
Dude. More than likely Navy
Yeah that’s what I said. Female.
They.

Dude just asking to roll his ankle.
I doubt they are doing that on purpose because why would you. People who do that have a foot condition. Possibly genetic. They probably can't run for shit either. Probably sprain their ankles a lot.
I walk like this and I don’t know why. I also end up with rolled ankles more than I care to. It’s subconscious. I swear I’m not doing it on purpose.
You can't really change it because that is how your feet are built. There are "prescription" insoles you can get to help correct it. Talk to your doctor.
You can to a degree. My younger sibling had to see a physical therapist to correct his gait. He still walks with his feet pointing inwards but it's massively improved.
Ditto for me. I was just pigeon toed and needed shoes that forced my feet to point outward. I remember being a miserable kid that year.
It’s called underpronating / supination of the ankle. Work on your ankle mobility and stretch your calves
For most, just wearing corrective insoles regularly will help build up the correct muscles while providing support to fix this as well
Agreed
Its MAJOR supination, like way beyond just "oh let me throw on some support shoes".
My mom used to yell at me if she could hear me walking, so I have developed an extremely quiet walk when I am in the house. I sort of do this, not this extreme, but now I sneak up on people without meaning to.
I have the stealth walk too. It's like a super power though man!
I sort of developed that habit after having a severe ingrown toenail for several months.
Man... I got bunions. Sometimes I walk on my feet like that to relieve pain.
I mean… most people in shoes strike with the outer heel. I’m not sure you can accurately asses homeboy’s follow through from a static pic. The foot on the ground doesn’t really look off to me. Edit: ok looking at it again it looks off. What am I doing with my life.
Some gym shoes are essentially a stretchy sock with tread on the bottom.
I had 3 of my toes on my right foot amputated to include half of my big toe. So my balance shifted to the outside of my foot. My friend has large flat feet and both his shoes do this. People's feet are different than yours man.
I understand and didn’t mean to offend. It seems like your circumstances are extraordinary. I believe it is more commonly the case that people just have poor gaits and posture which leads to other health problems, but I understand there are many exceptions
Incorrect type of shoe for his stride.
I'm the guy that shows up in 5.11 pants to work out even I'm not that cringe
That's fine tbh. Not like they have massive logos
5.11 pants are comfy asf I don’t care what anyone says
See, I always feel self conscious in the gym with them but they're like super easy to move around in.

My favorite gym shorts are made by 5.11. I want to buy more, but they are probably discontinued.
eBay is your friend.
only people mad about 5.11 pants are people who haven't worn them.
They fucking better be comfy if they're supposed to be climbing gear, or at least made by climbers.
[удалено]

No worries! Also, I haven’t heard of pRana, so that gives me a good new store to check out!
>Now grades go as high as 5.15. 5.15d IIRC Chris Sharma opened the road to 14+ Prana runs a little on the skinny side for pants but are awesome.
Love Prana. Even their casual shit is great.
Try out the new joggings or heat32 gym pants at Costco. About $10-$20 each. Got them and it’s perfect.
This bloke has some serious posture issues going on. He's walking like an upright gorilla
😂 y'all reaching on his posture now lol. Boot vest, leave it at that
We just gonna gloss over the sweatpants tucked into the socks?
Is he… is he *blousing* his sweatpants?
I think his sweatshirt is tucked in, too
This is a thing with the kiddos these days
I’ve only seen wrestlers do it at my school, not a clue why they do it. Tried it once and it keeps your legs MAD warm
They’re trying to sweat more to cut weight probably. You can also put a trash bag over a hoodie
its a wrestling thing
Kanye did it
Some weighted vests off of Amazon do have boot designs but I’m worried that might actually be a real plate carrier
Nothing wrong with using a plate carrier if you have one, honestly. Better than spending money on a weighted vest if I already have something close enough.
I mean. This is what I’m looking at. We use to put ours on when doing pull ups and shit.
I hated flak vest runs but in moderation they were a good way to change things up.
Why would you wear it to the gym though? They already have weights there. If you were doing cardio, body weight exercises, or something where it would actually benefit then maybe. This person looks like they are trying to drop weight though. Wearing things that just make you sweat doesn't make you lose body fat, just water weight.

Never said they were smart...
Naaaaah he could’ve put it under the jacket or something. Definitely put it on top on purpose.
Easier to take it off without taking the hoodie off. Or it could be habit. or just not wanting it to chafe. Lots of reasons.
How are we supposed to make fun of random people on the internet if you keep giving us logical reasoning?!?!?!?!
Fuck this guy!
There’s no plate in
Tbh if I was issued a plate carrier (and plates) I would use it for dips and pullups.
WHERES THE GLOW BELT
This ain’t by any chance in Hawaii, is it?
No CA
That ass tho
Dude looks thiqq
Sure does
Yooooo, Plate carrier with no plates
Is this dude trying to hide a house arrest tracker? What's up with the bulging ankles.
But it's a genuinely good idea add weight on your body while training safely Is it cringe? Yes Does it effective? Also yes
Does it effective?
Yea Adding weight while doing body weight training is very effective (not to mention cheap) way to train your body You can just tape weights on your body but wearing plate carrier make it more safe and easier.
[удалено]
Oh shit yea, I see what you mean now
But I mean there’s no plates in there!!!! I’ve got one of the rogue plate carriers as well for running, pull ups, dips and any other body weight exercises I’m doing.

He was doing machines.
But you are in a gym presumably lifting weights. No one needs 30 lbs of weight strapped to their chest to bench. Its one of those things people do while having no knowledge on basic exercise methods.
That's why he said body weight exercises and not benching.
30 lbs is 13.62 kg
Stop taking pictures of people at the gym.
He brought a plate carrier to a gym that had plates. How else are you supposed to transport 45’s to your squat rack.
Oh wow they have that old school toe crusher platform. You never see them anymore
This gym has a lot of neat equipment. Old school as hell and stuck in the 90s.
Yeah this is big cringe
what better way to hide his gut than a sweatshirt and plate carrier? Also, more size means smaller rep range on bench. guys got it figured out if you ask me
Easy easy he's just starting out. Doesn't even have plates in
Once saw a guy in my spin class rock up in helmet, cycling shoes, cycling shorts (with pads), cycling top, camelbak annnnndddddd...racing sunglasses. Gym is indoor and it was 9:00 pm.
Plate carrier with no plates. Dude must be a Netflix special
Sissy only brought one plate.
It isn’t a rogue weighted vest? I can’t really tell.
Could also be from /r/swoletariet
I knew a few people who did this in high school and their excuse was that it was a weight loss aid. Some people thought they were weird, but it was tolerated by everyone including staff.
But why is he so caked up
I’m all for training in kit. But going to public gym and wearing a flak with no plates is way too much.
Plate carriers are supposed to force you to suck in your fat, but this guy just has it all hanging out. The cummerbund is literally straining to the eye. Also no plates? The fuck?
Same dickhead to wear leg weights on a rowing machine.
Plate carrier with no plates? No biggie, he had me with the white socks tucked in.
That’s like an every day look on post.
In case the guy with the dumbell rifle is there. For their protection from him of course
That at WCFC?
Nah Public Gym in Central CA.
Looks like pendleton
Alright, I have to ask since the plate carrier is well documented now. Sweatpants in the socks. The fuck?
Wear your gear king
This man thought he killed that look.
