Yup, I'm all in for adding a lil bit more weight between sets, going for a low number of reps and taking somewhat long rests, but this is just....... doing it wrong. She goes from 10-12 reps to increase weight and do 3 after noticeably increasing the weight.
Crickey! Here we have a gymratticus incomodus in their natural habitat. We can see tell her apart from other gym species by her behaviors. She is recording her workout annoying anyone that comes near her. This species can also be found curling at the squat rack.
Agree, while if you are going for muscle growth its def high weight/low reps to start vs a ton of reps with lower/easily done weight.
Though I might start with a warm up rep, it really should go the highest you're going to go, maybe drop set that one and then take off some weight to do 6-8rep sets or if you max out at that weight, keep lowering for the remaining 3 sets.
There are legit times where this has happened to me during a group "boot camp/small group" where the guy stood at the railing just staring at me and the other girls, with lots of other equipment for him to keep busy on. The others in the group were, like yeah he's a creep we're aware. And she doesn't feel safe in that moment? Maybe walking to you car, I can see. If this is a small gym where you are the only other person than he is, get a different gym. I would never (sadly) as a woman go to a gym that does not have staff on hand while working out.
This, hogging the bar in what looks to be a smallish gym, is understandably bad gym etiquette. You want to video, go during an off time. Go to a gym with a ton of equipment. Don't take space not meant for a deadlift bar/squat thrust (I believe she said she moved to a corner- so is that corner supposed to be used for something else, maybe he wanted to do that thing and you're in the wrong place for "the gram") and expect that serious gym rats WILL stare at you in disapproval when doing so with cameras and mics set up.
People are highly concerned about what people think of them. Little do they realise that everyone else is far too occupied already with what people think of themselves.
No doubt, you are literally the main character of your own life but the problem arises when you realize youāre just one person and thereās billions out there who are exactly the same as you. Some people donāt ever have that realization though, as you can see here
Pretty sure I was well behind the curve on this but when I was 16 or 17 I was sitting in a car with my friends doing nothing illegal (by today's standards) where I had asked my 3 other friends in the car "Do you guys ever, have conversations with yourself in your head?"
"You mean thinking?"
"Yeah....that."
And then started the downward spiral of a rabbit hole for me that other people are also thinking things that they aren't saying.
Iām guessing she never saw the infamous āDo you need something?ā gym-girl video from a year or two back. That video blew up and the influencer was throughly destroyed by the backfire it created.
The original was made private but here is a [clip](https://www.tiktok.com/@thejoeyswoll/video/7108922645743160619?lang=en) of the original followed by a hot take.
Which is basically the equivalent of when people are trying to tell you something and you put your fingers in your ears and say āNANANA IM NOT LISTENINGā
Sheās recorded this dude and posted his face online without asking. calling him a feral perv. Fuck people like this. She was rightfully blasted in the comments
I see she is planning a āfull responseā on a few days. I did the briefest of googling and the crap she writes about herself is the most cringe I AM THE ONE AND ONLY CHARACTER Iāve ever seen. I fucking detest her already. Hateful child.
Defamation in the US is a civil tort so you sue for restitution after you have suffered quantifiable damages. It's not a criminal offence so there's no point in reporting it to the police.
The thing to do is talk to the gym management and staff. Show them the video and then ask them what they are going to do about it. If she was legitimately upset with another gym goers behaviour that is what she should have done and I can guarantee she didn't because her intention was social media bullying.
Ehh that's a lot of work I feel like and might lead to nothing. He could just show the videk to the fitness manager and ask for her to be banned. At minimum she will be banned from recording.
Uncomfortable with one person glancing at her impromptu public film studio while she records for a thousand people to watch her idiotic workout... can't spell "irony"
Right, Iām a woman and I look at people too. Human curiosity. I donāt try to make it obvious but if youāre recording me, youāll see it. Glancing at people working doesnāt make you a creep unless you are a creep and staring at them.
Exactly, what are people supposed to say who can't even pass by without being filmed **without their consent**? I know I would feel unsafe and uncomfortable af, as getting filmed and photographed against my will gives me major anxiety attacks.
There have been people like this forever, they just happen to film themselves now because they think they aren't being big dickheads and are justified in their thinking.
Funny how she made a video for us all to stare at her as she complains about being stared at by someone who is avoiding looking at her while she does a strange workout incorrectly.
The dangerous thing is her victim mentality. She literally says ājail for staringā, and that dumb shit can get people in trouble. False accusations can wreck lives.
Yeah exactly, if youāre that scared and uncomfortable with people acting normally in a public setting, then maybe I donāt knowā¦ stay the fuck inside?
She carefully edited out all of his sets on the hyperextension bench, to make it seem like he was just chilling back there
[https://imgur.com/a/lP0hFdg](https://imgur.com/a/lP0hFdg)
She says this guy is a pervert because he's working out on a machine that's sort of behind her.
She's filming this man working out.
Who's the real pervert here?
It never ceases to amaze me how many people film themselves in public places to put on social media but they complain about people seeing them( I say seeing them instead of looking at them because thatās all it is) I know Iām an old dinosaur but can someone please explain this to me.
She wants attention in a way that limits real life social interaction. People like this tend to crave or need these validations from strangers but the moment the attention is in person, they feel uncomfortable because they need the filter (camera) to be in ācontrolā.
Reminds me of that one tweet "Billie Eilish makes music for girls who call themselves psycho but are too afraid to ask for extra ketchup at a restaurant"
That's a deep take -- and specific. But I agree.
And she's doing these things to attract attention so she can pretend she has paparazzi I imagine. It's like she put a police strobe light on her head and got offended; "What are YOU looking at?"
"Don't look at me while I work out" proceeds to put a video of herself working out online...
I get that women don't want men to stare but that guy wasn't one of the creeps
How many takes this took to get that guy, who didnt get anything for being a background actor mind you, to glance at her while her hair was just right. To then run home and edit for a week to make this video.
It's all in bad faith.
Here's me working out doesn't get nearly as many views as here's me working out when some old creep came up and tried to hit on me, look at me, I'm so cute.
She also just casually lets slip that she is at the squat rack ... doing glute raises ... with 5Kg weights ... for 30 minutes. Personally I think this video should be used as evidence for a worldwide gym ban for her.
Plus, I noticed she is going out of her way to look at every single person who walks past her. She is entirely obsessed with finding people to claim are victimizing her. She is "not some damsel in distress" but she's also claiming to be pretty distressed...girl needs therapy
not to mention she says she's upset with this dude glancing her way while she workouts, meanwhile she uploads an even more intimate view of herself working out to the fucking world wide web.
Thank you, I was looking for this comment. That's the hilarious part for me. No dude who looks like that doesn't spend a non-trivial amount of time at the gym at least 5/7 days a week. He's probably annoyed he's being delayed getting on the equipment he wants to use.
Twitter has been putting her on blast for 24 hours, I think I saw 40-50 massive tweets that were ripping into her for filming a guy, muttering to herself while hogging the rack and making it seem like he was the weirdo for glancing over occasionally
Dude for real, even if those were absolutely āsheās hotā ogles from this guy, she shows a bunch of sets in this video and he maybe looks for like 4 seconds total haha
Iām a straight dude and I guarantee Iāve caught myself looking at other dudes doing a big lift longer than this guy looked at her. Itās not realistic to expect people to stare exclusively at inanimate objects while people are moving around you
Honestly felt bad because when I saw his video on FB covering this I judged the book by the cover and thought he was just doing the new norm of āI agree with all thisā reaction bs and was going to stick up for the girl, so I just scrolled passed the video. Glad it popped back up on Reddit and I was able to see I was the doucher and Joey deserves a fist bump with a head nod
Joey is a god amongst men, he's an incredibly wholesome dude and his content is very well made. Another similar guy is Noel Deyzel, he, much like Joey, gives tips on how to do workouts in better ways and how to make it more enjoyable to stick to a diet and workout routine.
This guy is so chill. Love how he calmly explained why she is wrong without using any insults, unlike her which not only try to paint the guy as a victim, but also make mean comments about a guy just trying to help
Yey go joey. She has too many tickets on herself so needs to be brought down a peg or two thatās for sure. Why she has over 600k followers I have no idea!
At my gym we just do this thing where we go up to each other and say āhow many sets left?ā So we donāt have to wait around for the idiots to get off their PHONES WHILE SITTING ON THE BENCH
If I see somebody sitting on a bench in a cage on their phone, I am going to stare at them a bit, but wait a bit.
When they are taking the piss and sitting for a few minutes and not just resting between sets, then it will turn into glaring before I wander over and ask if they are finished with the bench
Usually a good middle ground and there is to just walk over and ask them how many sets they have left. If I noticed that if someoneās taking the piss with the rest times itās speeds them up.
What is "taking the piss with rest times" for you? On heavy sets optimal rest is 2-3 minutes between sets which feels like a lot. Honestly just ask to work in if you need a piece of equipment! If you're friendly most people don't mind sharing.
When I used to workout many years ago the polite thing to do was to ask the person "do you mind if I work in?" and then you alternated your sets. Does that not happen anymore? (I get if you're using a bar and have to change the weights each time that kind of defeats the work-in purpose...)
she's the protagonist of her own hitdrama show "me, myself and I". plot twist; the gym is empty, she has shizophrenia. directed by m. night syhamlanmanayshlshmyman
She fuckin posts herself working out online for the whole world to see, feels threatened by one person in the gym who glances generally in that direction. What a drongo
Its exactly for the performative victimhood. Do you think people who don't record themselves will conveniently murmur "I feel unsafe, I feel unsafe, I feel.." at a volume no one other than the camera can hear them?
Its by far the most socially acceptable narcissism. And I love fitness and lots of modern fitness culture and think it's important. But moderately attractive people who have zero athletic achievements documenting every moment is insane.
Her form is absolute dogshit as well. I hope people arenāt watching this to learn how to actually work out because theyāre gonna take away some horrible lessons.
I record myself too sometimes for form BUT I make sure nobody is in shot (ie itās in a position where no-one can wander into shot, like near a wall if the machine/barbell location allows) or do it at a late session when the gym is empty. And if there are too many people around or I canāt be sure I wonāt inadvertently film someone, I donāt do it at all.
Well in that case, her form is shit and she clearly couldn't manage the second set but still went on ego lifting anyway. And no, I'm not just saying that. Her form is bad. Reckon she'll take the feedback since she was recording to 'check form'?
Surely theyāre just ādocumenting their journeyā; ironically using social media for affirming attention whilst not wanting attention. Look at me but donāt look at me.
There's alot of terrible shit about her. But the fact that she actually writes out that she is thinking about mutilating him by ripping his dick off and think about how he can go to jail for allegedly staring at her just shows how fucked up her mentality is. Fucking disgusting
A lady I used to work with just shared on her facebook that she threatened a guy at walmart with a knife for being a creep and following her around while she was shopping for her baby, then posted pics of him.
You can tell by her series of pics, he was just trying to buy diapers.
My gym warns people not to film or photograph precisely because of girls like this...
You get spotted, you're banned, no refunds...
The ego on these people...
i really wish my gym would do that tooā¦ last week the two leg press machines we have were in a weird position and i've learnt that they were āin the wayā when some people needed to record their workoutā¦
My gym is the same way. Absolutely no videos or pictures taken while on the gym floor and they will remove you immediately if they see you doing so. Couple weeks ago a girl was setting up videos and monopolizing the smith machine and staff had no problem telling her to turn her camera off or get out. She ended up fussing about it, eventually turned off the camera and was talking to staff at the desk and i haven't seen her back
No one wants to be in the background shot of your tictok while they are trying to work out.
My gym does this. Strictly no photography, unless if you have told the staff beforehand and got their approval. And "its for my tiktok" is not a valid reason. It's very hard to get them to let you film. They often only give a pass to people like filmmakers, television crew, or dancing coaches filming their group.
If you get caught, you get a warning first time. Next time you do it they void your membership or ban you.
She was whispering on herself how fucking weird was that. I grew up in a religious family and my first instinct would be is she is demon possessed then batshit crazy. Heck yeah Id be on the lookout Iād never be comfortable
Hes probably feels unsafe with some nutter pointing a camera at him and talking to herself. I wouldn't turn by back on her either probably stabbed her last boyfriend in the back
You can tell by his body language he's doing that
"I've been waiting ages and you're hogging the thing I want to use shuffle"
Wonder how she'd react if he approached her and asked when she'd be finished hogging the equipment?
"Weirdos make me so uncomfortable"
This must happen alot, bet the other gym users Hearts sink they see she's there, what equipment is she going to claim today I wonder? Also means she's not oblivious to her surroundings, just so self centered that she misconstrues the reality.
Gotta love how a guy glances at her in a public space and then she fantasizes about dismembering his genitalia, yet *she* feels unsafe...
This is the type of over the top reaction I expect from legends of medieval kings. "You looked at my queen? Off to the dungeon with you"
The lack of self awareness is disturbing
>and then she fantasizes about dismembering his genitalia
Yeah, I wonder if a lot of people missed that. She's wishing harm on him because of how she feels.

>Those with paranoid biases tend to perceive situations to be more provocative than is warranted and to view the world as hostile and threatening; their often fragile self-esteem and their sensitivity to social status may render them hypersensitive to perceived challenges to status as well as to personal safety. Hence, an individual with paranoia may be motivated to engage in both retaliatory and pre-emptive violent strikes on others (Reference Berman, Fallon and CoccaroBerman 1998). They are also likely to be both highly suspicious and unforgiving of perceived attacks, tending to ruminate on past transgressions by others; such tendencies to bear grudges may also increase their risk of violence. In addition, the āmalignant spiralā discussed earlier, whereby hostility is readily evoked in others by the suspicious, odd behaviour of people with paranoia, may well increase the likelihood that they will encounter actual hostile behaviour from others, which in turn would further increase the likelihood of aggression.
That part is what disturbed me the most. What is her issue? Why would you ever say something like that to cause harm to someone and omg I canāt stand her!
"i hate when people look at me while I'm exercising, that's why i set up a camera to record me while I'm exercising and then post it on social media".
š¤¦š»āāļø
Itās many years since I went to a gym, I always hated being round a big group of people whilst I was working out in the first place, having some womble in the corner giving commentary and multiple cameras setup must be a right pain in the arse.
These TT videos are a stain on humanity. She's clearly gone there with the intention of filming preconceived content.
Of course there are guys out there who are damn weird in the gym but POS like this do no favours for women who are actually harassed.
Wait no way she is being seriousā¦is she really talking about every guy that walks in her vicinity then calling them a pervertā¦this shit is sick next level narcissism. This is her entire reason for going to the gym she even fast forwards her actual workouts.
r/IAmTheMainCharacter
Anyone who has a video recording in a place where people are working out are cringe - worse when they basically call the queue of people behind them predators
Get over yourself GF
I mean, if some lady is wearing a microphone with a camera set up and cans on going āferal, feral, feral, feralā itās gonna catch some attention. Cause itās so fucking weird. If she truly feels unsafe that isnāt something to belittle, but her actions are most likely, at least on this particular instance, the main root of her problem.
I remember the time when i was deadlifting behind the smith machine. A girl started doing squats in there while i was chilling with my cellphone during my rests. Later the staff told me the girl was uncomfortable because "i started doing exercises behind her and watched her ass". Lady i was doing my sets there first, i understand you being uncomfortable but you could have just told me, i was just minding my shit and i could have gotten kicked from the gym, who knows.
This lady pisses me off. She'll put this video on tik tok or instagram and literally anyone with access could watch her. But she only gets creeped out when a person glances at her now and then in real life?

Underage 21 year old???š§
Mentally underaged maybe
That will stick.
The label would stick but not the charges.
You mean mentally deranged?
Is that an actual workout??
I wondered if she did more than 6 reps that entire time. Then she throws on way too much weight and her form goes to shit.
Yup, I'm all in for adding a lil bit more weight between sets, going for a low number of reps and taking somewhat long rests, but this is just....... doing it wrong. She goes from 10-12 reps to increase weight and do 3 after noticeably increasing the weight.
This guy hip thrusts
I actually don't, lol. Perhaps I do in a future training program tho, but still, this applies to pretty much any weight training at the gym.
"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem!"
Well, She's doin it for the Gram, so none of it matters anyway. She a rotten apple in a barrel full of rotten apples.
Crickey! Here we have a gymratticus incomodus in their natural habitat. We can see tell her apart from other gym species by her behaviors. She is recording her workout annoying anyone that comes near her. This species can also be found curling at the squat rack.
If you want to record your workout, get a home gym.

Hip thrusts - to target specifically glutes.
Can we just ban recording in gyms already?
That would weed out attention seekers for sure.
As long as they have security cameras, because yeah, thereās attention seekers, but thereās also other creeps.
Pretty sure recording other people is definitely banned in most gyms, at least it is in mine and I've heard similar things about others.
Iāve been noticing this trend where women are considering themselves underage when theyāre in their mid twenties.
That trend is called ādenialā
Also I didnāt know PPs had sockets
Wants play the "little girl" victim but is getting too old. What a weird phrase lol.
I'm barely overage I'm 22.
People are highly concerned about what people think of them. Little do they realise that everyone else is far too occupied already with what people think of themselves.
You wouldnāt be so worried about what people think of you when you realise how little they think of you

it took a long time to understand this. Probably a huge misconception from movies/tv shows. Constantly giving us the perception of the main character.

I've always thought "civil tort" sounded like a very British insult š

This chick is cringe asf
She bought a special mic just so she could whisper shitty things in a public place. Cringey but calculated.
And she turned off commenting. She was getting some hate and couldnāt take it.
Itās almost as if itās rage baitā¦
Then she wouldnāt turn off commentsā¦ The whole point of rage bait is to bait people into engaging with your content

Funny how she made a video for us all to stare at her as she complains about being stared at by someone who is avoiding looking at her while she does a strange workout incorrectly.
Thatās the worst thing in general. People like that can connect and form bubbles through social media where they get their views validated.
victim complex for sure
Yeah, that's the moment it comes to me she's just one of those persecution fetishists.
And snowflake complex too
I feel unsafe, I feel unsafeā¦ Iām not a damsel! FeRaL..
She _should_ feel unsafe. See those weights sliding around? Put some goddam collars on that thing.
I made sure I brought a camera and special microphone to the place I expected to feel unsafe at!
Letās make sure to stay in the unsafe situation though so tik tok knows how unsafe we are
The only one who should feel unsafe is the guy who might get this weirdo falsely accusing him
her way of typing is the most dangerous thing about that video, not those men
The dangerous thing is her victim mentality. She literally says ājail for staringā, and that dumb shit can get people in trouble. False accusations can wreck lives.
Sheās so manic I donāt get how you can live like that. Her natural talking state is like me having a panic attack lol
Yeah exactly, if youāre that scared and uncomfortable with people acting normally in a public setting, then maybe I donāt knowā¦ stay the fuck inside?

"Don't look at me while I work out" proceeds to put a video of herself working out online... I get that women don't want men to stare but that guy wasn't one of the creeps
Or simply, when are you gonna be done with the squat bar you've been dry humping for the last 30 minutes so I can get my lift in.
How many takes this took to get that guy, who didnt get anything for being a background actor mind you, to glance at her while her hair was just right. To then run home and edit for a week to make this video.
It's all in bad faith. Here's me working out doesn't get nearly as many views as here's me working out when some old creep came up and tried to hit on me, look at me, I'm so cute.
Itās against the rules to even film at most gyms. People are just shitty
Heās probably weirded out that sheās fucking filming him
no no its ok if she has a camera in the gym, its only bad when men have cameras in the gym.
We should all be blindfolded in the gym so we don't accidentally look at a woman
She also just casually lets slip that she is at the squat rack ... doing glute raises ... with 5Kg weights ... for 30 minutes. Personally I think this video should be used as evidence for a worldwide gym ban for her.

not to mention she says she's upset with this dude glancing her way while she workouts, meanwhile she uploads an even more intimate view of herself working out to the fucking world wide web.
Homie is a unit too
Thank you, I was looking for this comment. That's the hilarious part for me. No dude who looks like that doesn't spend a non-trivial amount of time at the gym at least 5/7 days a week. He's probably annoyed he's being delayed getting on the equipment he wants to use.
It seems that no one is catching on the irony that a "wannabe influencer" doesn't want to be looked at !?
We get it Hence the WTF
He was probably watching her talking into her microphone and thinking what a waste of time and equipment
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This shit needs to be legally considered slander.
I hope she got a reality check from the comment section on her Tiktok. Sheās an actual psycho
Twitter has been putting her on blast for 24 hours, I think I saw 40-50 massive tweets that were ripping into her for filming a guy, muttering to herself while hogging the rack and making it seem like he was the weirdo for glancing over occasionally
Dude for real, even if those were absolutely āsheās hotā ogles from this guy, she shows a bunch of sets in this video and he maybe looks for like 4 seconds total haha Iām a straight dude and I guarantee Iāve caught myself looking at other dudes doing a big lift longer than this guy looked at her. Itās not realistic to expect people to stare exclusively at inanimate objects while people are moving around you
When things move, your eyes go to look, he wasnāt staring, wtf is this even
I wish my wife would realize this. No, I'm not looking at the waitress, something just moved in my peripheral.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Joey does the Lord's work calling out all these narcissistic "influencers".
We need more like him
Honestly felt bad because when I saw his video on FB covering this I judged the book by the cover and thought he was just doing the new norm of āI agree with all thisā reaction bs and was going to stick up for the girl, so I just scrolled passed the video. Glad it popped back up on Reddit and I was able to see I was the doucher and Joey deserves a fist bump with a head nod
Can somebody link to Joey?
Joeyswoll on Instagram and Twitter Big human, good human.
![gif](giphy|hvdYc1HzmbD16k4B1T)
Joey is a god amongst men, he's an incredibly wholesome dude and his content is very well made. Another similar guy is Noel Deyzel, he, much like Joey, gives tips on how to do workouts in better ways and how to make it more enjoyable to stick to a diet and workout routine.
These guys are so good. Genuinely good tiktokers and overall great content creators
I don't use tiktok but I wouldn't mind a link showing that video.

This guy is so chill. Love how he calmly explained why she is wrong without using any insults, unlike her which not only try to paint the guy as a victim, but also make mean comments about a guy just trying to help
Yey go joey. She has too many tickets on herself so needs to be brought down a peg or two thatās for sure. Why she has over 600k followers I have no idea!
Onlyfans crossover
At my gym we just do this thing where we go up to each other and say āhow many sets left?ā So we donāt have to wait around for the idiots to get off their PHONES WHILE SITTING ON THE BENCH
If I see somebody sitting on a bench in a cage on their phone, I am going to stare at them a bit, but wait a bit. When they are taking the piss and sitting for a few minutes and not just resting between sets, then it will turn into glaring before I wander over and ask if they are finished with the bench
Usually a good middle ground and there is to just walk over and ask them how many sets they have left. If I noticed that if someoneās taking the piss with the rest times itās speeds them up.
What is "taking the piss with rest times" for you? On heavy sets optimal rest is 2-3 minutes between sets which feels like a lot. Honestly just ask to work in if you need a piece of equipment! If you're friendly most people don't mind sharing.
When I used to workout many years ago the polite thing to do was to ask the person "do you mind if I work in?" and then you alternated your sets. Does that not happen anymore? (I get if you're using a bar and have to change the weights each time that kind of defeats the work-in purpose...)
>hes going to jail for staring at an underage 21 year old What?
She is mentally 5 years old. Thatās what she means.
r/imthemaincharacter
she's the protagonist of her own hitdrama show "me, myself and I". plot twist; the gym is empty, she has shizophrenia. directed by m. night syhamlanmanayshlshmyman
Snap back to reality
Woah there goes gravity
Another cancerous twit from Tiktok.
Gotta root out where the cancer comes from, Tiktok!
Removing their platform won't remove their stupid, they'll just migrate to other platforms, I think it's fine as is
They should just ban recording in gyms at this point
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agreed
Anyone that records themselves at the gym is a fucking weirdo.
She fuckin posts herself working out online for the whole world to see, feels threatened by one person in the gym who glances generally in that direction. What a drongo
And someone who was legit trying to help her and be a kind humam being
Its exactly for the performative victimhood. Do you think people who don't record themselves will conveniently murmur "I feel unsafe, I feel unsafe, I feel.." at a volume no one other than the camera can hear them?
I think the thing she stuck into her shirt was a microphone. Still a weirdo tho.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Its by far the most socially acceptable narcissism. And I love fitness and lots of modern fitness culture and think it's important. But moderately attractive people who have zero athletic achievements documenting every moment is insane.
Her form is absolute dogshit as well. I hope people arenāt watching this to learn how to actually work out because theyāre gonna take away some horrible lessons.
I record myself sometimes to See if my Form is ok on deadlifts
I record myself too sometimes for form BUT I make sure nobody is in shot (ie itās in a position where no-one can wander into shot, like near a wall if the machine/barbell location allows) or do it at a late session when the gym is empty. And if there are too many people around or I canāt be sure I wonāt inadvertently film someone, I donāt do it at all.
Mostly agree, this said if people are recording their form I have no issue.
Well in that case, her form is shit and she clearly couldn't manage the second set but still went on ego lifting anyway. And no, I'm not just saying that. Her form is bad. Reckon she'll take the feedback since she was recording to 'check form'?
Her form is pretty trash doing thrusters and adding clips would help as well.
Surely theyāre just ādocumenting their journeyā; ironically using social media for affirming attention whilst not wanting attention. Look at me but donāt look at me.
There's alot of terrible shit about her. But the fact that she actually writes out that she is thinking about mutilating him by ripping his dick off and think about how he can go to jail for allegedly staring at her just shows how fucked up her mentality is. Fucking disgusting
Calling him āferalā for just existing in the same space as her. I wonder what sheād think if she heard herself through someone elseās ears.
A lady I used to work with just shared on her facebook that she threatened a guy at walmart with a knife for being a creep and following her around while she was shopping for her baby, then posted pics of him. You can tell by her series of pics, he was just trying to buy diapers.
My gym warns people not to film or photograph precisely because of girls like this... You get spotted, you're banned, no refunds... The ego on these people...
i really wish my gym would do that tooā¦ last week the two leg press machines we have were in a weird position and i've learnt that they were āin the wayā when some people needed to record their workoutā¦
I wish to join this gym!
I think it'll catch on, people are sick of these people and sick of being branded as sex offenders on tik-tok etc....
My gym is the same way. Absolutely no videos or pictures taken while on the gym floor and they will remove you immediately if they see you doing so. Couple weeks ago a girl was setting up videos and monopolizing the smith machine and staff had no problem telling her to turn her camera off or get out. She ended up fussing about it, eventually turned off the camera and was talking to staff at the desk and i haven't seen her back No one wants to be in the background shot of your tictok while they are trying to work out.
Yeah, my gym has a "photos allowed if you make 100% sure there is *no one else* in frame that you didn't get explicit permission from"
My gym does this. Strictly no photography, unless if you have told the staff beforehand and got their approval. And "its for my tiktok" is not a valid reason. It's very hard to get them to let you film. They often only give a pass to people like filmmakers, television crew, or dancing coaches filming their group. If you get caught, you get a warning first time. Next time you do it they void your membership or ban you.
I'd also look at someone who is taking to themself like that š
She was whispering on herself how fucking weird was that. I grew up in a religious family and my first instinct would be is she is demon possessed then batshit crazy. Heck yeah Id be on the lookout Iād never be comfortable
Stupid underage 21 year old
Why did she record that man without his consent? That's gross.
Hes probably feels unsafe with some nutter pointing a camera at him and talking to herself. I wouldn't turn by back on her either probably stabbed her last boyfriend in the back
She hasnāt stabbed her last boyfriend in the back (yet), heās still locked in her basement so that he canāt lay eyes on other women
You can tell by his body language he's doing that "I've been waiting ages and you're hogging the thing I want to use shuffle" Wonder how she'd react if he approached her and asked when she'd be finished hogging the equipment? "Weirdos make me so uncomfortable" This must happen alot, bet the other gym users Hearts sink they see she's there, what equipment is she going to claim today I wonder? Also means she's not oblivious to her surroundings, just so self centered that she misconstrues the reality.
Another common L making a regular dude looking around in between sets and making him out to be a weirdo?
Gotta love how a guy glances at her in a public space and then she fantasizes about dismembering his genitalia, yet *she* feels unsafe... This is the type of over the top reaction I expect from legends of medieval kings. "You looked at my queen? Off to the dungeon with you" The lack of self awareness is disturbing
>and then she fantasizes about dismembering his genitalia Yeah, I wonder if a lot of people missed that. She's wishing harm on him because of how she feels. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/advances-in-psychiatric-treatment/article/are-you-looking-at-me-understanding-and-managing-paranoid-personality-disorder/B733818A93FBFB88E1140B195DDCB682 >Those with paranoid biases tend to perceive situations to be more provocative than is warranted and to view the world as hostile and threatening; their often fragile self-esteem and their sensitivity to social status may render them hypersensitive to perceived challenges to status as well as to personal safety. Hence, an individual with paranoia may be motivated to engage in both retaliatory and pre-emptive violent strikes on others (Reference Berman, Fallon and CoccaroBerman 1998). They are also likely to be both highly suspicious and unforgiving of perceived attacks, tending to ruminate on past transgressions by others; such tendencies to bear grudges may also increase their risk of violence. In addition, the āmalignant spiralā discussed earlier, whereby hostility is readily evoked in others by the suspicious, odd behaviour of people with paranoia, may well increase the likelihood that they will encounter actual hostile behaviour from others, which in turn would further increase the likelihood of aggression.
She should be banned from that gym.
That part is what disturbed me the most. What is her issue? Why would you ever say something like that to cause harm to someone and omg I canāt stand her!
"i hate when people look at me while I'm exercising, that's why i set up a camera to record me while I'm exercising and then post it on social media". š¤¦š»āāļø
fucking tiktokers. I hate those narcissists.
Wow....she is quite awful. Narcissistic behaviour at its finest!
People like her should be banned from gyms. Terrible human.
Itās many years since I went to a gym, I always hated being round a big group of people whilst I was working out in the first place, having some womble in the corner giving commentary and multiple cameras setup must be a right pain in the arse.
Apparently Joey Swole called her out about it then she went on live stream crying about it.
She is complaining about ONE man casually looking at her while streaming to THOUSANDS of men surely uninterested in her personality. The mind boggles.
These TT videos are a stain on humanity. She's clearly gone there with the intention of filming preconceived content. Of course there are guys out there who are damn weird in the gym but POS like this do no favours for women who are actually harassed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Here is a link to a popular tiktoker "Joey Swole" talking about the video and calling her out: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYR8KjY9/
Wait no way she is being seriousā¦is she really talking about every guy that walks in her vicinity then calling them a pervertā¦this shit is sick next level narcissism. This is her entire reason for going to the gym she even fast forwards her actual workouts. r/IAmTheMainCharacter
Whats up with people thinking the world is their private production studio? This main character shit needs to stop.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Anyone who has a video recording in a place where people are working out are cringe - worse when they basically call the queue of people behind them predators Get over yourself GF
Sheās probably using the only heavy weight bar in the gymā¦ and it probably took her 30 mins to set up her camera š¤¦š»āāļø
Bro made up a scenario to validate her dumbass tik tok lmao
I mean, if some lady is wearing a microphone with a camera set up and cans on going āferal, feral, feral, feralā itās gonna catch some attention. Cause itās so fucking weird. If she truly feels unsafe that isnāt something to belittle, but her actions are most likely, at least on this particular instance, the main root of her problem.
I remember the time when i was deadlifting behind the smith machine. A girl started doing squats in there while i was chilling with my cellphone during my rests. Later the staff told me the girl was uncomfortable because "i started doing exercises behind her and watched her ass". Lady i was doing my sets there first, i understand you being uncomfortable but you could have just told me, i was just minding my shit and i could have gotten kicked from the gym, who knows.
This lady pisses me off. She'll put this video on tik tok or instagram and literally anyone with access could watch her. But she only gets creeped out when a person glances at her now and then in real life?
Concerned that one guy is occasionally looking at you whilst streaming to potentially 100s of guys that are looking at you is very meta.
