Title: Thoughtful gym member helps teen by discouraging him from doing useless exercise
Post by: Al Doggity on August 05, 2018, 01:47:16 PM


Seriously though, kicking the weight out of his hands was fucked up.  Could have caused real injury.

LOL.  Dropping the weight after every rep was kind of idiotic and douchey.  Even if I was pulling 585 lbs, I would set it down as quietly as when I picked it up.  There's no need to slam the bar down like that, it's just for show or something I guess...??

That being said, the other guy WAY overreacted.  Kindly and quietly giving the kid some tips on proper deadlifting form would have been more constructive and helpful.  And I agree with you Al, kicking the weight out of the kid's hands was fucked up and could have really hurt him.

Dropping the weight down like that and starting from a dead stop is how some competitors train, not saying this kid competes, maybe he saw a video. Either way, absolutely no excuse, none, zero, for that asshole to kick a bar like that, especially since that kid was using straps, could have really fucked his back.

Dude went AnimalPak on him. I agree with you. Although, something about the way it all went down, looked very old school. Like something Vince Gironda would do when he would kick guys out of the gym (Arnold?).

Arnold was politely told that he was a “fat fuck”. I don’t believe that he had to leave though.

Guy deadlifting is trained by Pete Rubish, who is a deadlifter of some regard.

As far as the story, apparently the kid was told that he could deadlift if he used the mats and kept the noise down, but the gym wasn't totally happy with it. They've gone back and forth a few times about it, and this was the culmination. Canadian lifters are saying that the gym chain is more akin to a Planet Fitness than a hardcore place.

65/35 bar steppers fault in my eye.

Lol it's all the bar steppers  fault. He kicked the bar out his hands on the way up.  Would he have done the same thing if he was benching or doing power cleans?

I get it he was mad the deadlifter was loud but that's almost assault.  You can't do something like that.

I don't know what kind of fucked up laws they have Canada but it's battery in the US.  He shoved the kid hard into the wall too.  I wouldn't have left until the police came and took a report.

Fuck that guy.  I don't give a damn what the lifter did, you have no right to behave like that kunt.  I hope he goes to jail.

Fair enough. I stand corrected.

The deadlifter sucks as a person if they've told him not to deadlift and he continues to do it. He should have had his membership revoked and problem solved .

What this kid did, I see in my gym almost every single day, and the padded mats are never used either.  Why does this place care so much if someone is deadlifting?  Yeah, he's kinda dropping the weights, but fucking A, is it any worse than someone training hard and being loud while lifting?

There's no excuse for dropping weights--barbells or dumbbells.  It doesn't make you look cool or tough.  It makes you look like a dumbass who wants everyone to look at you.  That is my final answer.

I get that, but I'm also old enough to remember a lot more gyms being this way in the 90's, early 2000's. No platforms, no deadlifts (God forbid you wanted to Olympic lift), and lots of screaming workers. They'd tell you to stop and you stopped, and found a real gym or you took your chances till something like the video happened. Also the fact that it went on for at least 4 months (judging from the upload dates), makes it seem like this was more of a childish "tit for tat" type thing between him and that gym.

The kid is not dropping the weight, he's setting it down in a controlled manner.

That said if the gym doesn't want deadlifter revoke his membership.

OK.  I'm changing my answer--I guess when you're doing heavy reps there's inevitably going to be some banging at the bottom of each rep.

This video of Larry Wheels getting 745 x 8 raises the question--would that gym douche kick the weight out of Wheels' hands for making too much noise?

Go to a powerlifting gym or ask your dad if he's okay with dropping barbells on his back lawn

this is no place for that. Fuck that little scumbag and the beta world that'll have his pusher arrested and banned from traveling etc etc. In arnold's time people got tossed out the gym regularly for being dickheads or throwing weights; contrary to popular notions of these guys being dumbasses, that's only true since Branch Warren threw CHAINS and BARBELLS around in one of his videos like 10 years go. In the 70s and 80s, respect for tradition, weight trainers' rights to be left in peace, and a clean, safe gym were the rules they lived by and enforced.

the problem is these shitty gyms , all should allow deadlifting , it's not like he was going to do hundreds of sets anyway , if people can't handle the sounds of weight then they should find another hobby which won't scare them

You want quiet, go to the library.

Sudden loud noises evoke startle responses which are not under conscious control if the noise is loud enough- thus, you can't NOT react to them. Startle responses distract you as they involuntarily leads to a switch in attention and this can be dangerous in a gym. I find it highly disturbing if I am doing an exercise and some jerk drops a weight right behind me. I even become angry without wanting to.

Gyms should enforce that weights should never be dropped or otherwise handled in a way that makes excessive noise. If people want to do this, they should have reserved areas. In my gym, the crossfitters have their own big room.

Ho Lee Fuk.  I didn't realize that the guy didn't just kick the bar out of his hands, he kicked him in the nuts.  The more I think about this, the more I'm siding with the kid who just wants to deadlift--maybe the kid needs to work on not dropping the bar so hard, but that doesn't justify getting kicked in the nuts.  That is just not okay and the guy who did it has some serious issues.

His benching and squat technique sucks. Squatting with more weight than he can handle, and just all awkward. Benching technique is terrible.
Sad what happened to him, but he’s looking at injuries in the future.

He’s one of thos guys, who at first talks about their bench and squat poundages. Then people see his technique, and then he gets  ::) from his “haters”. Then he he will start wondering why he is either getting injured or not making any gainz, physique or strength wise.

When I watched the first vid, I knew something had to be  up with this dude. Couldn’t put my finger on it at the time.

Too bad. What that guy who confronted him did used to happen daily to people acting like dipshits in hardcore gyms across the country (and probably worldwide) and you'd get the picture the first time; I guarantee you everyone in the gym who actually enjoys lifting was behind him 100%, which is why those two just watched from a distance rather than try to get involved. The reason for the pussification of the world is right here in these videos: The moment you confront someone, they pull out their phone and call 911. It's affected everything, not just how people carry themselves in gyms but also how they socialize or act at work. Being a man in the conventional sense is dead because they've criminalized it.

If you read the comments under the videos it's clear like 95% of people typing brave words from the keyboards are sucking up to this turd and piling on the other guy, stalking his Facebook, trying to kill him, etc. Pathetic. All because of a warning to drop the exercise followed by a shove, big deal. The guy's nuts were never kicked, the video clearly shows he's recoiling the minute there's contact and he's play acting like soccer players do when they grab their knees and cry to get the other guy a warning card. There's that other video of this same idiot deadlifting a full 4 reps after being told by a female staff member to stop doing it, ignoring her completely. He's a fuckstain and I hope all the charges get dismissed, though they probably won't since Canada's a joke.

Ho Lee Fuk.  I didn't realize that the guy didn't just kick the bar out of his hands, he kicked him in the nuts.  The more I think about this, the more I'm siding with the kid who just wants to deadlift--maybe the kid needs to work on not dropping the bar so hard, but that doesn't justify getting kicked in the nuts.  That is just not okay and the guy who did it has some serious issues.

He's not dropping the barbell hard, he's nice and controlled. Modern age douche's know nothing about old-school heavy training.
He's fine, the other guys a c-u-n-t... Should have caved his skull in w/ a dumbbell (jerky)...

He told him a few times to drop it and the guy didn't. He may have also heard about what happened in this video, where clear verbal commands are obviously ineffective, much as they are when state troopers do traffic stops on black motorists who end up tazed and in custody because providing proof of insurance is racist.



They should've called the police on this asshole during this video if he refused to leave and revoked his membership.

Kid should have decked that guy in the face and found a new gym.

I like to think I know something about old-school heavy training...I've gotten 500+ for lots of reps and had a 1RM of 585, lifetime drug-free.  I just never felt the need to slam the bar down after a rep and draw attention to myself.  Does that make me weird, or not hardcore enough?

That was not controlled. I have talked shit about deadlifts on here, but I have done them, when I do them I use pretty serious weight. I honestly can't say whether or not I make noise like that because I usually have my headphones in working out and it honestly would never even occur to me to notice that. But I do know that when I do deadlifts they don't look like that. He's just dropping the weight during the eccentric portion, he's not working at all. He drops the weight hard enough that it bounces and causes his arm to vibrate because it's bouncing so much. If the eccentric portion was actually controlled, that wouldn't happen. That a teen has technique like this isn't surprising, but I was surprised to hear that he is being coached or trained by someone who was willing to admit it in public.

That being said, the other guy was in the wrong. Even if you believe everything bad about the deadlifter- he was a habitually inconsiderate lifter, he made that amount of noise on purpose to provoke a response, he was intentionally defying the rules of a planet fitness-like gym- the other guy flat-out assaulted him in a way that could have caused serious injury because he was too loud. He not only stomped the weight out of his hands, he pushed him with the intention of starting a fight. I don't see how there's a dispute over who is wronger.

Here's a guy doing controlled deadlifts. He's still making quite a bit of noise, but  notice the weight doesn't bounce and his arms don't vibrate. I reposted the original video so you don't have to go back to compare.

His benching and squat technique sucks. Squatting with more weight than he can handle, and just all awkward. Benching technique is terrible.
Sad what happened to him, but he’s looking at injuries in the future.

yup. total moron.

It's deadlifting for Christ's sake. It's not supposed to be quiet in any shape or form.

God, these types of gyms are so lame.

Actually, Planet Fitness-type gyms do have rules on loud lifting, hence the "lunk" alarm.

If you think Planet Fitness sucks because it's not hardcore enough, they don't want you there. Their business model is appealing to people who will never actually want to come, but being cheap enough that they never bother to cancel their membership.

Also, they're a great convenient place for people who live in their vans to shower.

Again, well aware, that's why I stopped going there years ago.

I have access to one of the best gyms there is right now, so I don't have to worry about such nonsense.

Manly of you to admit you once were a member. I respect that degree of honesty, even as I'd never do it myself.
