He looks like he’s in pain. I’m assuming he’s trying to do his “set of 10” as fast as possible to stop the pain. I’ve got bad knees, I recognize the look. Sadly I have not found anyone to work with. Physio is too soft & the trainers I’ve spoken up around here are the “pain is weakness” type. No it’s not weakness if you’re terrified your knee is going to pop out of its socket!

@@madtabby66 I suggest also looking into stretches. those helped me a lot. I'm not talking about the mini stretches for warm-up, rather the 30-second tough effective stretches that are hard to get through but the moment you're done you immediately feel better but they're actually for long term. I had to learn the hard way that stretches actually *train* the muscles too just like weightlifting/power excercises do just in a different way, while the latter is for muscle width stretches train for length. It's not easy work but helps - look up stretches for hamstring, hip-flexor, pancake stretcjes figure-4 stretch lat-stretch and side-stretch -- don't do all at once start from one or two do just 1 set of 20s of that one for starts is a good place to start and work your way up to 30s then increase sets to 2/3 later. For me I prioritized the hamstring stretch and started with that to help with my kyphosis+lordosis since you want to train knees I'd look to do 1-2 sets of a 30-second hipflexor stretch(start with 15-20s if you're inflexible like me, that's how I started and work towards 30s) it's a really basic stretch but it's one of the best.

But I've also seen guys get the "lunk alarm" blasted for accidentally dropping a weight from 2" up or asked to leave because they were "harassing" a woman because they asked her if she was going to be done with her set soon. But other times the 18 year old "manager" at the front desk allows his friends to act an ass in the gym. There's no consistency.

Planet fitness deemed bodybuilders as egomaniacal lunkheads. They did everything in their power (from insulting commercials to installing a lunk alarm) to drive bodybuilders away from their new progressive "judgement free"establishment. But bodybuilders never judged. They generally did their thing, kept to themselves...yet offered help when needed. PF's new policy alienated those committed paying customers, and replaced them with people like this.

I now see commenters on this video say stunts like this are exactly why they don’t want to go to a gym. I am now of the opinion that maybe cameras should not be allowed in gyms or gyms as private property can control if pictures or video are allowed and if not, those members not following the rules should be kicked out immediately, membership cancelled and banned from the premises for good. People should be free from worry whilst working out, that is the whole point of self care. Thank you Joey for continuously calling out these douchbags for their ugliness.

Leg machines are adjustable with motion and leg length. This man didn't set up the machine correctly. He could have brought the padding lower and tighter so he wouldn't slide up with every rep. He also could have brought the bench part better up on his back. The pivot part should be at the knee caps. The man should go slow and steady and use the full motion. Ideally would be 1 second squeeze rep and slowly releasing it down in 2 seconds. He will get less reps but a more productive workout. Going too fast can risk injury. I have this type of seated hamstring curl machine at my gym. I actually prefer the laying down machine. I think it works better but I switch it up at times.

First time I saw him running the drill I told him "no need to kill yourself to keep up with me and George. Your job is just to beat the shit out any one that tries to hurt me. " (It was back in the day when hockey was a real mans sport) I started doing heavy legs (extensions, curls and a single leg press on a machine in the gym designed exactly for that purpose) as fast as my joints would let me until cardio failure and gained almost 10 pounds of muscle in 5 or 6 months.

I've been going to Planet Fitness on and off for about a decade. My mentality is, that while it's only 10$ a month, they have the equipment that I need, but not the equipment that I want. The one that I frequent is quite literally spitting distance from one of my jobs, so it's actually difficult to not go after work. I learned early on that I don't like the people that frequent the gyms in the morning hours, so I typically go in the dead of night. Sometimes, however, I do end up there after a long day of work, at the exact time I don't like being there and it always sucks. Sure, I can get a good 1-2hr pump in, but my god. All of the guys in the morning think they're "swole" so they wear string-tops, and all of the girls wear shorts that are so short and tight, that they crawl up their butt with every step (not that I mind that). However, the guys just sit there and ego lift in front of the mirrors, and the girls are blind to the other 80% of the gym that isn't a Smith Machine. I see elderly folks in the gym all the time (not that he's elderly, the people I see are just much older, so I use them as an example). Whenever I see them, my first reaction is "I hope that when I am that age, I am still going to the gym." I couldn't care less about his form, or the intensity of his workout, or the validity of it. The fact that he is there, at that age is enough to keep me motivated. On top of that - some people know this and some don't...but going to the gym is contagious. You put yourself in the position where you know someone who goes to the gym, and you hang out with them enough, and eventually you'll find yourself going to the gym. Likewise, when you hang out with someone enough, they too will catch the gym-bug. I've been motivated to go to the gym by family, by friends, by relatives, and I've never once told them how grateful I am,... likewise, I've got parents that want to go to the gym with me, because I've done for them, what someone else did for me. That being said, I will legitimately go to war if I took my mother to the gym, and seen her in one of these videos. I would legitimately take a week off from work, and stay at that gym 24/7 until that person showed up. Then I would put them in the hospital - male or female.

The leg curl is one of my favorite exercises for hamstrings but it is honestly one of the hardest machines to adjust appropriately. Most people also have under developed hamstrings to begin with so it is also one of the toughest for them. Here's how I have learned to help people in the past when I see someone struggling. In order for them to not feel singled out, I act like I'm going to use it next, when they get done, I say hi, give a smile, tell them I love this exercise but I struggled with XYZ in the beginning but learned to and now I love it. They'll walk away thinking I'm just a weirdo or ask questions. Then when they leave I will do one or two superficial sets.

Good luck working out this hard when you're his age. His form might need some work, but he should run a class on spirit and drive. Inspirational.
It could be that he was doing a drop set/partials. Nontheless, he was training hard 💪

@@himesh2006 agreed lengthened partials have been scientifically shown to provide just as much of a stimulus for hypertrophy along with full ROM movement.
Homey won't make it to that age, he'll be gunned down in a drive-by way before that.
To be honest, the old man moving that energetically is pretty good. Maybe his form is off but to able to do that in old age is a blessing. It’s really important to keep moving if you want to have good mobility in old age. Weight training is also so much more important as you get older.
He looks like he’s in pain. I’m assuming he’s trying to do his “set of 10” as fast as possible to stop the pain. I’ve got bad knees, I recognize the look. Sadly I have not found anyone to work with. Physio is too soft & the trainers I’ve spoken up around here are the “pain is weakness” type. No it’s not weakness if you’re terrified your knee is going to pop out of its socket! So I really don’t know where to go or what to do, but I’m thinking this guy may be getting bad workout advice for arthritic knees.
@@madtabby66 I suggest also looking into stretches. those helped me a lot. I'm not talking about the mini stretches for warm-up, rather the 30-second tough effective stretches that are hard to get through but the moment you're done you immediately feel better but they're actually for long term. I had to learn the hard way that stretches actually *train* the muscles too just like weightlifting/power excercises do just in a different way, while the latter is for muscle width stretches train for length. It's not easy work but helps - look up stretches for hamstring, hip-flexor, pancake stretcjes figure-4 stretch lat-stretch and side-stretch -- don't do all at once start from one or two do just 1 set of 20s of that one for starts is a good place to start and work your way up to 30s then increase sets to 2/3 later. For me I prioritized the hamstring stretch and started with that to help with my kyphosis+lordosis since you want to train knees I'd look to do 1-2 sets of a 30-second hipflexor stretch(start with 15-20s if you're inflexible like me, that's how I started and work towards 30s) it's a really basic stretch but it's one of the best.
@@madtabby66 I just want to say regarding stretches is I'm not an expert and regarding your specific problem I'm dealing with different type of immobility to if you have like a doctor to validate that it's ok to be 100% sure even though I'ts extremely unlikely that it is unsafe but doesn't ever hurt to be sure
He’s got Parkinson’s really, really bad or something similar. I’ve seen this dude at my gym. It’s a private 24 hour place and he shakes like this as he does deadlifts and all kinds of other exercise. He’s a guy who clearly enjoyed fitness before he became inflicted with a terrible disorder, and still wishes to do it. It’s beyond sad to see someone I’ve personally seen, and struggle, and he’s ridiculed like this. This man is a hero of mine. I hope I’m still willing to give myself whatever self care it takes when I’m elderly and inflicted with something terrible.
He's doing better than me. I'm in crazy amounts of pain if I bend over a few times.
Him being in pain is probably why he works out. He probably has a legit medical reason for working out and trying to increase blood flow.
Exactly. He could be recovering from a stroke or has a chronic condition. Makes working out so much harder, but beneficial. Well said.
Don't know if it is stain because he's doing too much weight or what. But the way he's doing the exercise isn't going to hurt him other than reducing the benefit that he could be getting if done correctly.
Granted, his form may not be good but give the man credit- he's putting great effort into his set. 🤙🏽

@@MrBlackstar00exactly
He is putting in effort but you just hope that at that senior age, you hope he doesn’t hurt himself with that technique.
@@roysreceptiveYes but the way to potentially reduce that chance, is to politely ask him if he’s okay and ask if he’d like some advice on his form. If he declines then move on and leave him alone.
I work out at Planet Fitness and there are all kinds of bodies at ours. Everyone is doing their own thing and lots of people lifting. I saw this adorable old couple just yesterday. She needed a walker but her husband stood behind her keeping her balanced while she did some cable pulls then moved her walker for her to sit on while he did his set. It was the sweetest thing. I do think they should get rid of the lunk alarm and just focus on judgment free.
That is absolutely fantastic.
I understand the "Lunk alarm." Guys be screaming while lifting heavy, dropping weights, strutting around with no shirts on. That can create an intimidating environment for a gym newbie. But I've also seen guys get the "lunk alarm" blasted for accidentally dropping a weight from 2" up or asked to leave because they were "harassing" a woman because they asked her if she was going to be done with her set soon. But other times the 18 year old "manager" at the front desk allows his friends to act an ass in the gym. There's no consistency.

I know it... and admit it.... because it's true. The youth culture mindset that was created in the 1950s has caused a cultural degeneration that will destroy our American civilization. Same as what happened to other great empires from ancient times onward. The poison is called "material prosperity."
@@GhostRanger5060They didn’t say anything about that and they probably know about social media influence.

Talking trash which I find worst and not establishing good teachings in the beginning to newer generations.
Planet fitness deemed bodybuilders as egomaniacal lunkheads. They did everything in their power (from insulting commercials to installing a lunk alarm) to drive bodybuilders away from their new progressive "judgement free"establishment. But bodybuilders never judged. They generally did their thing, kept to themselves...yet offered help when needed. PF's new policy alienated those committed paying customers, and replaced them with people like this.
The big gymrats are the best guys at my gym. They've done the work and are confident in themselves, always happy to share some tips when asked and mostly non-judgemental. They also enforce gym etiquette, which is probably why these mean spirited tiktokers hate them.
Maybe it's because Im big, but I have never been "judged", that I know of, by body builders or powerlifters at any gym I've ever gone to. The only place where I could see this being a common occurrence is if someone was just a casual lifter and they sought out some underground powerlifter gym. Most gyms are populated by regular people.
@@stephenshelton4267 Have you seen the commercial from years back that kicked off their 'judgement free zone" campaign? Look some of those up if you want to see what the PF promotions dept. thinks of powerlifters. It is extremely insulting. Personally I have never been intimidated by having the big guys around. They actually create a motivational atmosphere. The Lunk alarm is way more stress inducing. It makes the gym feel like an SAT testing room. It also makes zero business sense to prioritize the New Years resolution trial members, over those with an obvious dedication to fitness.
The reason is to drive away people who would most likely be consistent at the gym so they can keep selling memberships to people who show up less. That's the most profitable group.
@@MooshTheJoub There's a chain called Equinox that is designed for wealthy people, and last January they were halting new memberships because they didn't want the consumer who'd show for 2 weeks only to disappear and only their money would go to the gym.

People need to do some character hypertrophy, build that maturity and social musculature. One of the things that i really enjoy is watching other people in the gym have a great workout. Whether its a guy squatting 460+ LBS or older folks on the machines, being around people working out should get you jazzed up. I'd be thrilled to see this guy moving it in my gym...
This is heartbreaking 💔… the immaturity level, thoughtlessness, lack of common courtesy and sheer vapidity of this “I need attention” social media generation is pretty sad. Sometimes the biggest hurdle for most people to change an unhealthy lifestyle is just getting to the gym in the first place. I now see commenters on this video say stunts like this are exactly why they don’t want to go to a gym. I am now of the opinion that maybe cameras should not be allowed in gyms or gyms as private property can control if pictures or video are allowed and if not, those members not following the rules should be kicked out immediately, membership cancelled and banned from the premises for good. People should be free from worry whilst working out, that is the whole point of self care. Thank you Joey for continuously calling out these douchbags for their ugliness.
There was nothing to laugh at!! What is wrong with people???? That’s why people don’t want to go to the gym!!
time to name and shame
Someone needs to find and report her to the staff. Anyone recognize this area or the shamer?
Ironically your solution is also the problem.
@@stevensmith6445Damnit, Steven!
I don't even see what was wrong with the guy's workout. Perhaps he wasn't going the full range of motion, but lots of people don't...
Unless you're afraid they're going to hurt themselves, leave other people alone in the gym. I go during senior hour (due to my schedule) and they are very polite. They get in, do their business, maybe socialize at those chairs and tables no one ever seems to sit in otherwise, and they leave. A+ gym etiquette
Most leg curl machines are somewhat awkward. That man was me two days ago. It took me trying 4 different leg curl machines just to get the right one. My torso is long and my legs are on the shorter side. The video 📷 duece bag could have mined his own business or helped the guy adjust the length of the machine. If it's necessarily beneficial I would have referred him to a leg machine that is comfortable to his height or leg mobility.
That machine back needs to be moved forward against his lower back. The adjustment above the knee needs to be pressed against the quads to prevent him from sliding
Leg machines are adjustable with motion and leg length. This man didn't set up the machine correctly. He could have brought the padding lower and tighter so he wouldn't slide up with every rep. He also could have brought the bench part better up on his back. The pivot part should be at the knee caps. The man should go slow and steady and use the full motion. Ideally would be 1 second squeeze rep and slowly releasing it down in 2 seconds. He will get less reps but a more productive workout. Going too fast can risk injury. I have this type of seated hamstring curl machine at my gym. I actually prefer the laying down machine. I think it works better but I switch it up at times.
Thanks Joe for what you are doing! You raise awareness on poor behaviour in the gym
As someone who's currently a Planet Fitness member, this video absolutely disgusts me.
Same
Yes yes yes!! Call them all out!! SHow their accounts It's the only way they're learn. They want to make fun of others, so this is just fair play!!
Mind your own damn business alarm!!! Yesssss let’s do it! And put a spotlight on them and call them out in the middle of the gym.
Imagine how fast the loser would delete the vid or turn off comments if most of the comments were similar to what Joey says here..
Not necessarily. He's showed comments of people saying similar things and the idiots would rather argue than take it down or turn the comments off.
So just checking for this woman, if someone even glances your way looking at a sign in a gym you go running to social media to say what a creep someone but you are full on staring and recording and this is somehow less creepy? Can someone please explain this?
This is exactly why the varsity and Olympic athletes trained in the "Dungeon" (that sounded like a pig farm because of all the grunting and it smelled like one too) at our School . FYI that exercise is good for inducing growth hormone. My left winger was a 260 pound line backer off the varsity football team and he ran flights of stairs with 60 to 80 pound dumb bells for growth hormone to anaerobic failure. First time I saw him running the drill I told him "no need to kill yourself to keep up with me and George. Your job is just to beat the shit out any one that tries to hurt me. " (It was back in the day when hockey was a real mans sport) I started doing heavy legs (extensions, curls and a single leg press on a machine in the gym designed exactly for that purpose) as fast as my joints would let me until cardio failure and gained almost 10 pounds of muscle in 5 or 6 months. My explosive strength went through the roof too. Kinda funny that dumb ass has no clue what he is criticising. Should post that on his site.
Have the guts to talk about him from afar but not enough guts to go up to him and offer help. Lame.
This behavior is exactly why I will never step foot into a public gym while I'm still morbidly obese I'll just work out at home because I know despite already losing 200 pounds I would be publicly shamed if anyone ever saw me exercising while still this fat and it's sad that this is the world we've created being shamed for being huge but then being shamed for trying to better yourself you really just can't win
Dude - 200 POUNDS?!? That's AMAZING! Awesome job - keep at it. I'm proud of you, random Internet stranger!
Actually the people who care about life and belong at the gym know what you are doing and respect the fact you're in there improving yourself. Also know plenty of people are waiting for a guy acting out of line like the video, gym rats do not want to be around that negative bs and have no problems letting it be known.
So sad, maybe that was hard for him at least he is trying! No God didn't teach us to treat people like that! I hope Planet Fitness removes her membership
i know after a heavy leg workout if im finishing on hammies i might look like that too. Help him fix his form. Be positive. Don't shame people. Geez why are people like this?
I watched my grandparents struggle to get into a grocery store because of wear and tear of life. Seeing older people doing ANYTHING in the gym is something to be respected. This person better hope they can still move like that guy when they get older. Life is hard on the body, dont make it harder by mocking those who lived it.
I have anxieties and am an introvert. My brain is going a mile a minute all day. I want to go to a gym so badly but the thought of this happening to me 😣 one of the reasons why I hate social media and phones these days is because of videos. Some people have absolutely no problem with recording random strangers and posting them on several platforms just to be a jerk.
What i honestly never get is they make fun of his bad form instead of steping up to him and offer him help with his form. This is in fact one of the reasons i prefer working out at home, while i am not afraid of being made fun of, i cant stand it that the gyms dont kick out people for this kind of behaviour.
My mum has started going to the gym in her early 60s to work on stability and injury prevention. I'm honestly terrified of someone filming her and it crushing her confidence to keep going. People need to mind their own business.
What happens when they get directly in front of you and start doing something wacky? Just keep in mind there can be more to the story than meets the eye.
Damn! Go get'm Joey! That video had you fired up!
These children have no boundaries, that’s a direct reflection of the lack of parenting they have been given. Parents want to be friends and give them everything they want, that’s not their job.
And a lot of folks who train at Planet Fitness don't like to be judged but he's judging...most certainly ironic.
its sad because that man is probably working out and keeping his joints mobile to reduce arthritis pain and it looks like he's in a lot of pain doing that from what the vod shows that chump that's mocking him probably cant even put up with an ounce of pain that man is probably pushing through to get that work out done people need to understand too if he does have arthritis his form will be no where CLOSE to perfect or decent your joints start to lock up which result to stiff very stiff like mobility i give that man a lot of respect for working out at his age and trying to stay in good shape
Big dog had mad heart. I get hyped up when I see someone going hard in the gym.
This is why I’ll never go to a gym and lift weights.That poor guy, I’m almost in tears. He didn’t ask for that.
Literally every single person I ever met who had a Bible verse in their profile had traits of narcissistic personality disorder in their interpersonal interactions to go with it. I know some amazing human beings who are Christians they don't advertise they wait for you to notice, it's private and personal. Public displays of religiosity is just a red flag of a self obsessed person.
This is the 2nd video this week I've seen of Joey calling someone out who tagged a Bible verse. Makes you wonder.
It's old school virtue signaling. It's the same thing as these people who constantly change their profile pics to show their endorsement of the current thing.
@@stephenshelton4267 great beard Bro, and very good point.
Keep calling them out Joey!! She even has a Bible verse…🙄wow
There’s no such thing as judgement free zone anywhere. It’s in human nature to judge others good or bad in some way shape of form
Good on U Joey, keep up the good work
That old man still has more energy than most of the Gen Z land whales in the US lmao.
Derria White is not keeping God's commandments (Deuteronomy 4:30) in her heart with this Tik Tok video or whatever app she's on. Joey Swoll, keep doing what you are doing!
That guy doing his workout in an apparent pain has my deep respect!
This man's videos should be on screens at all gyms. 🎉
And this is why I'm so glad I gave up my gym membership 12 years ago. I can't imagine how toxic gyms are nowadays.
You can't let em make you give up man. I know it can be toxic out there. My local gym in Australia is one of the massive franchise ones and it's friendly - I never see any of this nonsense.
@zakblue we have a right to protect ourselves good for you for finding a place but I'm not taking the risk of having my image forever plastered on social media so some darkie can get views
I work out at a planet fitness and I have yet to see anyone even take a selfie there. Most people just mind their own business and try to stay out of each other's way.
Yes! Mind your own damn business alarm should of rung on that girl...
Damn man. Couldn't agree more. Thank you for putting this out there. Coming from a dude who looks like they could take on a literal tank, you've got a damn heart of gold 🤘
That last line was PERFECTION! Remove the lunk alarm and replace it with the mind ya dang business alarm!
As a Christian thank you for calling their behavior out.
Same. As a fellow Christian, this is why people often don’t believe in Christ.
Don't act like Christians are known for their morals.
These people post videos like this to try look/feel superior but in reality they're just parading the fact that theyre reprehensible human beings. Should be focusing more on improving themselves instead of jumping on every opportunity to bring down others
Well unfortunately for some, this is the only way they can feel better about themselves. Actually doing something to better themselves is too much work.
God bless you, Joey. Keep doing what you're doing.
Bro going hard! I love it ❤
Planet fitness is “judgement free” Except for - being laughed at - the way you dress - the lunk alarm - etc etc etc
no gym should allow any form of recording ever - shits BEEN stupid for years now, needs to stop.
@@011keepersyeah its still like you never know what someone is gonna do with that footage either in private or on the internet. It's just not the place IMHO. I don't think most people are ill intent - but it only takes one.
Joey you’re awesome. Take advice from this man. Do better. I don’t even work out. I have mad respect for anyone that does. Keep doing what you’re doing bro. Mad respect for calling these people out. Just stumbled on a short and now you come up all the time. Click you every time I see you. One love.
I've been going to Planet Fitness on and off for about a decade. My mentality is, that while it's only 10$ a month, they have the equipment that I need, but not the equipment that I want. The one that I frequent is quite literally spitting distance from one of my jobs, so it's actually difficult to not go after work. I learned early on that I don't like the people that frequent the gyms in the morning hours, so I typically go in the dead of night. Sometimes, however, I do end up there after a long day of work, at the exact time I don't like being there and it always sucks. Sure, I can get a good 1-2hr pump in, but my god. All of the guys in the morning think they're "swole" so they wear string-tops, and all of the girls wear shorts that are so short and tight, that they crawl up their butt with every step (not that I mind that). However, the guys just sit there and ego lift in front of the mirrors, and the girls are blind to the other 80% of the gym that isn't a Smith Machine. I see elderly folks in the gym all the time (not that he's elderly, the people I see are just much older, so I use them as an example). Whenever I see them, my first reaction is "I hope that when I am that age, I am still going to the gym." I couldn't care less about his form, or the intensity of his workout, or the validity of it. The fact that he is there, at that age is enough to keep me motivated. On top of that - some people know this and some don't...but going to the gym is contagious. You put yourself in the position where you know someone who goes to the gym, and you hang out with them enough, and eventually you'll find yourself going to the gym. Likewise, when you hang out with someone enough, they too will catch the gym-bug. I've been motivated to go to the gym by family, by friends, by relatives, and I've never once told them how grateful I am,... likewise, I've got parents that want to go to the gym with me, because I've done for them, what someone else did for me. That being said, I will legitimately go to war if I took my mother to the gym, and seen her in one of these videos. I would legitimately take a week off from work, and stay at that gym 24/7 until that person showed up. Then I would put them in the hospital - male or female.
this is why I'm afraid to go to a gym. I've always been discouraged by not having proper form or knowing how to do things properly, so I can just know that people would be doing this to me if I went there.
Workout from home. Been doing it 12 years. What you pay for in gym memberships, invest in some weights or kettelbells instead 🙂
She really thought this was ok. The old gentleman was just working out. If anything, you can go up to him and advise him to slow it down if anything. That's after asking if you can give him some advice, assuming he's new. I agree with some commenters though, at least he's moving. I don't see the humor in this at all.
I'd so be cheering this guy on if I was there. Go up and say...go go, 1 more, 1 more ....then congratulate him on what he did. ❤
Thanks for bringing awareness to this video. I have now found the original and have also commented LOL because it’s hilarious. Keep it up.
This is extremely sad. 99% sure I’ve seen this guy working out at my gym. He’s got some kind of severe movement disorder, I am not sure if it’s Parkinson’s. Or something else. It’s a private gym and he comes in late at night. Now I realize why, bc he started to get too much negative attention. I always think about talking to that guy and telling him how proud I am of him, but I don’t wanna be weird.
There's nothing like laughing at someone who has Parkinsons.
Christians. Makes sense...
Not all of us🙂
@@sarahnorris872 yea I've not been proven wrong yet. Every Christian I've ever met has always let their religion get in the way of such simple little things that have zero to do with religion. It's funny cuz I've met satanist that were less judgemental, degrading & so set on forcing their religion into other people's lives. Christians are the only ones that have literally got themselves unalived makin the mistake of goin to a completely secluded island with zero tech just a small civilization simply living, & tryna convert them to Christianity. Christians have no respect for other religions, but other religions don't act like Christians do. Other religions outside of Christianity simply are religious & if people wanna learn about those religions then those people are happy to teach em. Other then that, Christians are the absolute worst.
something for the masses to cling to when they mess up
@@rolandomota7771 right. They just use their religion as an excuse to act shytty & feel better about it. That & it just makes em feel like they aren't alone cuz their afraid to be alone & can't just be happy. Other religions aren't like this. Even catholics aren't like this & they're the closest to the Christian religion.
I just like to remind them that in the parable about the goats & the sheep, the goats thought they were good Christians. Did the goats say “you’re real?” Did the goats say “I don’t believe it?” Nope, they were just surprised that they didn’t make the cut.
The leg curl is one of my favorite exercises for hamstrings but it is honestly one of the hardest machines to adjust appropriately. Most people also have under developed hamstrings to begin with so it is also one of the toughest for them. Here's how I have learned to help people in the past when I see someone struggling. In order for them to not feel singled out, I act like I'm going to use it next, when they get done, I say hi, give a smile, tell them I love this exercise but I struggled with XYZ in the beginning but learned to and now I love it. They'll walk away thinking I'm just a weirdo or ask questions. Then when they leave I will do one or two superficial sets.
I love that this guy has a following and uses it to call out people. But he doesn’t disparage them. Just encourages them assertively to “do better”. God bless you Joey
Thanks for trying to keep Gyms a respectful, open, welcoming place to be. I have found my local one to be so far. These videos do make me careful of where and how I take pictures of myself in the gym. I have a few friend all over the world that are all hitting the gym regularly and we share photos to encourage each other. I am trying to be very careful that I only get myself and no one else in the photo. I also am doing photos to try to see the gains over time, some day I might make a gif or video of how I changed over time. I have also thought about doing videos of me lifting so that I can check my form and how it fails but I don't have a full plan for that yet.
As you get older it takes a lot of motivation to work out with that intensity. Lets see if if the poster is still working out then or even lives to see that day.
There is no such thing as a judgment free zone. Even if you are alone, you will always find someone to criticize you and mock in some way.
I’m pretty scared to go to a gym as I was relentlessly bullied in gym class as a kid - this is why I still won’t go to a gym.
Love you joey swoll, keep swolling
And super fit people ask us people who need to lose weight why we don’t go workout. People like this who make us feel too embarrassed to even try.
I give the dude props for: 1) Being there. 2) Putting in the effort. 3) Minding his own F'n business.
That roast at the end! GYAT!
