They weren't raised properly. Ask your gym owner if you can volunteer as hall monitor and wear a special headband or vest and yell at anybody who has bad etiquette.

Why would anyone do this?

Why the fuck do you pay the gym for? Those "PT" fuckers stand there all day doing mostly nothing.

I never put the weights back.

Bet you wish you had a lunk alarm, now don't you? Planet Fitness™ wins again.

>went to gym a long time ago

>doing squats

>rack full of weighted bars (skinny barbells with set weight, no idea what they're called)

>guy comes up and starts doing curls

>does one set

>throws the bar down and walks away with an invisible suitcase under each arm

Now I lift at home.

>why can't people learn basic gym etiquette?

speak for yourself you rude faggot, I always leave the leave as good as I got there

How much do you have to pay monthly to Muhammad to dont get raped?

>>123837

>Be doing 3pl8+ deadlifts

>PT nearby pissed off because his qt customer keeps looking at me between sets

>PT realizes that deadlift platform is giving in because made of particleboard

>Goes full autismo when I tell him to fuck off/that I'm not gonna lower the weight "slowly."

>Tries to get me kicked out/follows me to every station after that

>Complain to owner because small local gym

>PT whispers something about preserving equipment and owner shrugs

>Canceling membership at end of contract because of this bullshit

PTs aren't just dicks who mess around in the gym… They're fucking gains goblins.

You are gains goblining yourself if you drop the weight fast in a deadlift. If you physically can't lower it down slower than you picked it up, it's too heavy for you and you risk an injury. The muscle tension is more important than the weight itself, so holding 15 pounds less and lowering it slowly will benefit you more than throwing it down fast. Same goes for the other compound lifts. If you can't come back up from a squat faster than you came down, you're using too much weight. If you can't bench up faster than you lowered the bar to your chest, it's too much. Part of this is about getting the most of your lift, and part is about not hurting yourself.

I was implying the other huehuelander frequents a shitty favela tier gym (because non-educated people)

but whatever, seems that even my gym people has better etiquette than yours

>>123895

made huge improvements when started realizing that, and taking real long time betwen reps,

from what it seems 3 seconds at least between each rep in a 10 rep set

you really start to feel the burn local on the muscle without feeling much weight down and hurt on other parts

>>123894

so what the fuck are you doing paying a PT?

The cookie cutters with tattoos, elaborate hairdos and phone holders are the worst.

Groups of bros doing only bench for compounds and the rest isolation. Endless curls with horrible form, tricep extensions. Half a year later they lift the same weight doing the same exercises with terrible form, looking the exact same. Except for the odd one out who takes juice and looks like a cartoon character because of the lack of compounds other than bench.

Outlifters. People who do the same exercise adding just a little more weight than you do, with half the form of course.

Most of this can be blamed on fitness youtubers.
