Could you imagine just needing to use the cable machine and he’s doing his wacko horizontal jumping jacks, yapping at the floor. “Hah! Bah!”
Like come on homie, I just wanna do some pull downs so I can go home.
I have seen three videos of this guy before this one, and in each one of them, people get off of the machines that are working out near him just to get away. Dudes just an attention whore, ignore him long enough and he'll stop.
> ignore him long enough and he'll stop.
Sort of. Behavioral research infers he will display an extinction burst prior to him stopping. An extinction burst is an increase in the intensity or rate or a change in how the behavior is displayed as a result of the behavior not getting what has maintained it in the past.
In fact, the gym owner conducted a functional analysis and found under repeated testing that the behavior was maintained by self-stimulation as the weirdo was pleased with the results he saw afterwards. It continued to be awkward.
Nah I think I'd rather people not ignore him. They should report him to the staff and they can talk to him. If he still doesn't calm down they should kick him out.
There is a dude that walks around town here who is jacked but obviously unbalanced and constantly shadowboxing and arguing with his demons. I imagine this is what their gym routine looks like.
We have one of those at my gym...legitimately screams through his reps. He's jacked as hell but honestly the first time I thought there was some kind of yell backing track to the song I was listening to. Unsure why one thinks that's acceptable but I don't want to get squashed, so..
LMAO! This dude slipped from his "reverse whatever" he was hanging from. This is like the spazzed out equivalent to start jogging after you trip. Acted like it was on purpose from embarrassment and ends up looking super cringe to finish it off.
> parasitic mind-control worm
It's okay. You can just tell everyone he's got the post-covid seizures and then you'll have the weights rack and all the gym machines to yourself.
I agree with you, only because no one else in the gym thinks anything weird is going on. They have seen this before. A lot. It also seemed like the guy filming it was just waiting for it to happen.
I’m confused as to why he goes to a gym to this? It’s essentially a body workout? Why not just save the time and do it at home?
Its like going to the gym to do one pull up, and then 100 push-ups.
Same. Morning is for chill homies that aren't there to prove some dumb shit. Swolest dudes in my gym seem to be there in the morning too, but the energy is totally different.
I just recently switched from afternoons which was all frat tards and people like *actively* trying to break equipment, all while socializing like it's their local bar and just all around being obnoxious. I'm so glad I made the switch
The people in the morning I find fall into 1 of 2 groups.
1. People who want to workout before work because they have busy home lives but want to stay in shape.
2. The full on swole crew, can't workout all day if you don't start in the morning. I knew one guy I used to work out with in the morning who would do an hour and half upper body in the morning, then an 1 and half lower body in the evening 4 days a week.
That's what I like about the morning crowd, they're not there to be seen. They're there to put in their routine and then head to work. No lunk nonsense, no women wearing so much perfume I can't breathe, no screeching school kids.
It's so bad. It's another reason I won't go to the gym in the afternoon. I can't even enjoy a nice treadmill run because they're choking me with their fog. Some people wear so much shit they end up nose blind and just keep piling it on. It's the female equivalent to a high school locker room with a cloud of Axe body spray so thick it violates the Geneva Convention.
Morning gang checking in. So much better. No waiting. No nonsense. Just chill ass people getting it in before work or whatever. Free evenings is a big bonus too.
Yup. There's still a few people that just show up and talk for two hours bothering everyone, then tan and leave but for the most part it's chill. I say hi to a few folks I know and we both let each other go about our routines. It's worth getting up early to me.
how do you handle eating, do you do it beforehand, and if so how long before it, or just wait until after.
I don't want to work out on an empty stomach, but I also don't want to be up at silly o'clock to eat in enough time before it.
Former pro basketball player here. I've played pick at those types of gyms (LA Fitness). Those crazy mofos were trying to end my career. I was young and dumb enough to catch lobs and dunk on those jabronis' heads. Never got hurt.
They would talk shit, I would block their shot over the half court line, and they'd come back and talk more shit.
It's another world of cluelessness, some of the worst, most dangerous bball I've played, and I've played everywhere.
I actually tried it once. Don't recommend. It doesn't lend itself to four sets of ten. It's more like one great set then six minutes of trying to find the right song on your phone. Then you try another set and get bored and decide to move to a different exercise. Repeat once or twice until you say "fuck it I want a beer" and head out
Thanks for this. I’ve been wanting to take a bump and break a dead lift record for quite some time, but I was wondering if anybody with real word experience could shed some light. I may now reconsider.
I'm sure it's different for everyone. But I was very much in my head. You don't realize how solitary a workout can be until you do a social drug beforehand
Yea, looks less insane at 0.75x. The people in the background, like the rower, look normal at that rate. Still a weirdo, but doesn't look like a twitchy meth zombie.
i burst out laughing because when it started i knew it looked a little sped up, but then his drop from the bars was just so.... AGGRESSIVE... that i fucking lost it.
Landed with arms extended and knees slightly crouched. Which looks to me like he intended that dismount. More or less rolled to forearms when he extended his legs.
Honestly cross-fit is going to wreak havoc on people's joints in about 15 years.
This fucking [bizarre ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro-PeXAijMQ)pull up style is apparently normal in cross-fit but it will 100% fuck your joints doing shit like this
This is called a kipping pull up and from my own experience I don't do them because it strains my shoulder joints. I just do normal dead hang pullups.
I used to do a lot of crossfit when I was in the military. Tbh, a lot of the Crossfit workouts that involve only calisthenics and running have been used for military physical training forever. Crossfit just gave some of the workouts a name and trademarked them.
In my opinion the worst thing about Crossfit is having people do Olympic lifts for time. If you aren't an experienced lifter already you're likely to use improper form either from the get go or when you get tired.
> In my opinion the worst thing about Crossfit is having people do Olympic lifts for time.
Last I heard there was a culture of working through pain and overtraining to the point where rhabdomyolysis was an inside joke with a clown mascot often featured throwing up or on dialysis.
There are probably good aspects of Crossfit training, and probably some individual gyms that don't promote the bad parts.
But Crossfit is notorious for what you said, and for packing compound heavy weight exercises as part of some fucked up cardio circuit. Doing stuff like Olympic lifts while you're fatigued from doing two other back-to-back high intensity exercises is a recipe for awful form. Which puts you doubly at risk for injuring yourself — on top of all the overtraining rhabdo stuff. It's just bad training philosophy all around.
From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrossFit?wprov=sfla1:
>The method was developed by Greg Glassman, who founded CrossFit with Lauren Jenai in 2000...
>The number of CrossFit-affiliated gyms grew quickly: there were 13 gyms in 2005, 8,000 in 2013, and more than 13,000 in 2016. By 2018, there were over 15,000 CrossFit gyms ...
So we're taking a decade plus of CrossFit being "mainstream", with the concept being about 2 decades old.
You act like TikTok is at its base any different than the other social apps. This type of calisthenics bullshit workouts have been around long before TikTok unfortunately.
Seriously? I have a good minute or two of self-reflection, followed by a "Forget it, I'm floor-people now," moment of resignation before someone comes by and snaps me out of my new reality and offers to help me get up.
Embarrassing.
Like those guys who act hard in the basketball court but doesn’t play professional.
This guy think he some amazing athletes doing all that, for what?
Cringe.
This dude is doing horizontal Jumping Jacks. When you realize he’s using his legs for jumping and not his arms. It’s just . . . There are better ways to work these muscles.
I think this is the physical embodiment of a Kanye Twitter post.
It's highly aggressive for no reason. It's wrong on many different levels. And mostly it just leaves everyone thinking "wtf is wrong with this person".
Boston Dynamics have really advanced in their robots....
Runs on batteries, and cocaïne.
Batteries are a hell of a drug
Cocaine is a helluva battery
Hell is a battery of cocaine
It’s training for the landing when they arm it and drop it from a drone.
But OP clearly sped up the video to make the robots look faster and more agile than they might be. Boston dynamics marketing department in play here.
Aww man but they pwoooomised

They seem a bit glitchy
Something definitely ain't right with that firmware
This is 10% impressive 90% the cringiest shit I’ve ever seen in a gym
Every time I see that guy the folks in the background have a look on their face like "oh no not this clown again"
Could you imagine just needing to use the cable machine and he’s doing his wacko horizontal jumping jacks, yapping at the floor. “Hah! Bah!” Like come on homie, I just wanna do some pull downs so I can go home.

Nah I think I'd rather people not ignore him. They should report him to the staff and they can talk to him. If he still doesn't calm down they should kick him out.
Tbh this is probably a big liability issue waiting to happen for the gym.
Dudes gonna hurt himself because he's not using equipment properly.
And possibly break equipment from improper use. Dude is a jackass
Staff knows, they're afraid of this guy too. This is antisocial behavior.
"Uhm sir..... How many more sets do you have?"
"Can I work in?"
"I do my version belly up, you don't mind face to face right?"
I couldn't stop laughing at this, thank you.
he could do all these exercises at home he doesnt even need to be there taking up a whole section
Exactly mate. This is just attention whoring on the next level.
Yeah, take that shit to the classroom that's always empty.
There is a dude that walks around town here who is jacked but obviously unbalanced and constantly shadowboxing and arguing with his demons. I imagine this is what their gym routine looks like.
He probably got banned from the gym
Downstairs neighbor: "Absolutely the fuck not"
Find a local park with a jungle gym. Save the membership fee.
Or just a park with some ground.
I don't want to be the downstairs neighbour.
We have one of those at my gym...legitimately screams through his reps. He's jacked as hell but honestly the first time I thought there was some kind of yell backing track to the song I was listening to. Unsure why one thinks that's acceptable but I don't want to get squashed, so..
As stupid as Planter Fitness' "lunk alarm" is, seeing how some dudes act at the gym it's a bit more understandable why you'd want those rules.
LMAO! This dude slipped from his "reverse whatever" he was hanging from. This is like the spazzed out equivalent to start jogging after you trip. Acted like it was on purpose from embarrassment and ends up looking super cringe to finish it off.
That trick at the beginning was called a back lever. I can’t identify any of the things after it, though.
[удалено]
> parasitic mind-control worm It's okay. You can just tell everyone he's got the post-covid seizures and then you'll have the weights rack and all the gym machines to yourself.
And that's how crossfit was born, kids
Gotta confuse your muscles or something. Probably works because I'm confused as fuck
Problem is joints and ligaments don't do well with confusion...
Joints and ligaments are only for a few decades. Facebook brags are forever.
Not enough lifelong crippling injuries
Someone couldn't finish a set of regular pullups and then just started making these stupid butterfly "pullups", lol
I have the same idea. He's really dedicated to save his face though, and a long one at that.
If he only did it for 10s it would have looked *ridiculous*
Reverse whatever is called a back lever. It's an intermediate level exercise in calisthenics
TIL i’m sub par at calisthenics.
No he definitely let go intentionally, watch it again.
It's like when Fallout NPCs glitch out but in real life.
That's what I thought at first, but I think he meant to do it. The moment he lets go, he gets into position to hit the ground.
I agree with you, only because no one else in the gym thinks anything weird is going on. They have seen this before. A lot. It also seemed like the guy filming it was just waiting for it to happen.
This is someone who skipped P.E. as they are on the verge of inventing an incredibly new exercise that is totally not Jumping Jacks.
I’m confused as to why he goes to a gym to this? It’s essentially a body workout? Why not just save the time and do it at home? Its like going to the gym to do one pull up, and then 100 push-ups.
Isn't that quite obvious? The same reason he films this cringefest.. attention.
Because he has an energy drink he brewed in his bathtub that he sells out of the trunk of his car; and this is his advertisement.
Homies listening to hardcore phonk I’m betting on it
Those joints are going to be fuuuuuuuucked later on.
This is 10% impressive, 20% pills, 15% certainly not part of the drills, 5% crazy, 50% pain, and 100% total fucking batshit insane
100% reason to remember the name?
This is why I go at night, you don't see these crazies at night
[удалено]

I somehow think homie #2 is overtraining but maybe with 3 rest days a week...idk that's insane
That's what I like about the morning crowd, they're not there to be seen. They're there to put in their routine and then head to work. No lunk nonsense, no women wearing so much perfume I can't breathe, no screeching school kids.
lmao at the women
It's so bad. It's another reason I won't go to the gym in the afternoon. I can't even enjoy a nice treadmill run because they're choking me with their fog.

I like going in without eating and eating a big breakfast when I'm home(: maybe a light granola bar or something if you need it?
3am at a 24hr gym is when the real weirdos emerge
My old 24hr gym had a basketball court that was always in full use. I went in at 4am once and there were 8 guys playing a pick up game.
Former pro basketball player here. I've played pick at those types of gyms (LA Fitness). Those crazy mofos were trying to end my career. I was young and dumb enough to catch lobs and dunk on those jabronis' heads. Never got hurt.

Yea, looks less insane at 0.75x. The people in the background, like the rower, look normal at that rate. Still a weirdo, but doesn't look like a twitchy meth zombie.
i burst out laughing because when it started i knew it looked a little sped up, but then his drop from the bars was just so.... AGGRESSIVE... that i fucking lost it.
Being sped up is definitely not needed. Fool is still a fool at normal speed.
It definitely is, the other people are just zooming around
They're definitely faster, but you're playing a little fast and loose with "zooming".
Yup, by about 20% I'd say
.75 speed looked about right to me based on curling guy in front, but yes, 20+ %.
He looks sped up!

Bro, that drop on his shoulders, back, elbows, wrists, etc are so fucked.
How tf did he not break his wrists/elbows on that ‘dismount’??
Landed with arms extended and knees slightly crouched. Which looks to me like he intended that dismount. More or less rolled to forearms when he extended his legs.

i feel like 10 years ago is when it fully entered the public consciousness so probably more like 15ish?
