"bull the lmao 65lbs off her neck" what?

[–] Mozingo@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably meant "pull" and he's laughing mid sentence about how little 65lbs is

Everyone starts somewhere...obviously she didn't even know you probably need to have a spotter.

Exactly. It's never about the weight you can lift. It's about the difference between last week's weight and today's. Make progress, be proud of those who make progress.

Such a shitty mindset to laugh about people who started out or might be injured or just can't lift that much or whatever. If they need help, offer help, encourage them, otherwise let them do their thing.

Anon sounds like the kind of jackass who hangs around at the gym because being a gym bro is their entire personality.

"run over and bull the lmao 65lbs" What the fuck does this mean

I imagine they mean "pull"? Are they laughing at the weight being low?

[–] Steak@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

Yes. That's why they are laughing.

I never went to a gym, but here:

https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/bench-press/kg

It says 17 kg is a beginner weight as a woman.

65 lbs, aka 29.5 kg, is almost Novice level, which is probably nothing what one does out of thin air.

Sometimes you do to many reps and your arms just can't anymore

An empty (olympic) bar is usually 20kg, or 20.4kg/45lbs if you live in poundland. Difficult to lift a lower weight than that if you go the barbell route.

Most girls at my gym lift more than just the empty bar for reps, even if they look new to the movement, so 17kg sounds like an underestimation for 1rm. When I first introduced my sister to the movement, she did 3x12 of an empty bar just fine.
