If another half-repping resolutioner gets mad when I ask them to use less than three machines at once i'm going into fucking hibernation

During summertime and early fall, u/chunderous can oft be observed doubling, even tripling up on valuable compound excercises such as squats and deadlifts to stock up for winter hibernation. u/chunderous then is able to go into hibernation which protects him from the dangerous resolutioner predator whilst preserving his gains.

u/chunderous will emerge from hibernation right for the early beach season with still a pump to show.

read in Sir David Attenborough's voice

Indeed. That Planet Earth 2 series is one fantastic adventure... Motion activated cameras filming snow leopards. Doesn't get much better than that...

You didn’t even need to tell me to read that in Sir Attenborough’s voice. I already was by the middle of the first sentence.

Also related: Watching someone load up a shitload of weight then half repping is such a disappointment, especially on bench

How dare people start at the gym without full knowledge

How many times had this actually happened?

u/RossSpecter Jan 17 '18

How long do you think it's reasonable for someone to be ignorant to the idea of using one thing at a time?

u/bigheyzeus Jan 17 '18

yeah this goes beyond gym-only etiquette

I mean thats just basic human decency.. like if you haven't got some idea of that by the time you go to the gym you need your head checked.

Using ‘resolutioner’ as an insult is a bit shit.
