@rechargedcoaching: Nothing screams “I train for attention” more than this… You control the weight perfectly for 10 reps… Then the last rep suddenly turns into a full on drop test like you’ve just lifted a car. Banging plates. Letting it crash. Looking around to see who noticed. Relax. You didn’t get stronger in the last 2 seconds… you just lost control. If you can lift it… you can lower it. That last rep doesn’t need to be dramatic. It just exposes your ego and have some respect for the equipment while you’re at it. No one’s impressed. It’s just loud, unnecessary, and makes you look like a dick. Train properly. Not like you’re auditioning for attention. #gymetiquette #gymfails #fitnesshumour

Smifee :

are people supposed to only train to mild discomfort theses days......

Daniel Watson :

if training to complete failure then the last rel will be dropped.... if you can control your last rep you haven't finished your set

id4rkre4per :

maybe i go to complete failure and literally cant lower it slowly

STBenP :

People who do it are literally throwing away 50% of the lift. The controlled down is actually more beneficial than the up.

r0hhaann 𒉭 :

gonna do it twice as much now thanks 👍

Aiden🐢 :

supposed to be a place with zero judgement

RR :

So just to be clear, the advice is to leave some reps in the tank just to make sure you look co?

Gaz Brierley :

One of my biggest hates of the gym is when people slam there weights. Literally no need

Rub 1Tan :

KNOB 😂😂😂 Absolutely 💯 correct .. its mainly on the lat pulldown machine … And seated row … crash 💥 crash 💥 ITS SO FUCIN ANNOYING

harry’ :

when i fail a bench press should i let it crush me then

waltuh :

Andrew pacee :

totally agree mate see so much off it

fmogsu :

hey man i agree but sometimes it just happens,10-12 reps isnt optimal,doing 6-8 reps and reaching failure withing that range is much more optimal for hypothrophy,plus dropping the weight might sometimes happens

Skúli :

didn't know we are training at a library

Ciombarlí Oʻ 💚 :

Finally someone said it!! this is me when they do it 🤣🤣🤣

Ellis :

10-12 🥀🥀

Caleb :

Amy Carter :

Agreed hahahah

dl.04 :

Take me back to the days where gyms had no music just raw weights clashing and no one cried about it

MNC :

If the weight gets heavy on the last few reps and your muscles are giving in because your training to your max. Then drop the weight down because at the end of the day not injuring yourself but making a bit of noise doesn’t make you a knob. The people making fun of you for it are.

H :

Literally like a hot Lee Mack….I’m so confused

k00kiecat :

I hate this there's no need to do it at all. just put it down gently ffs

scouse_lifts :

someone's never heard of training till complete failure

. :

This makes me even more paranoid about going to the gym bc I did this the other day on embarrassingly light weights (I DIDNT MEAN TO) bc I was 99% sure I was about to have a fainting episode and panicked and I’m so scared the rest of the gym was thinking how pathetic omg

Alex :) :

how about if I do till failure and I drop even if I don't want to
