Those three inches of motion are totally going to build huge muscles and you will feel super embarassed

It's not entirely useless, its just that full reps are always going to make for a better workout

quarter reps are just to have a high weight number

There's an appropriate time to do them and it's really obvious when the guy doing them has no idea what they're doing

Same. The guy at my gym wears the same outfit everyday and has a huge ponytail, but is enormous. He puts like five plates on and does squats with so little ROM they looks like calf raises, but who am I to judge?

Also the other day I saw a girl use that hip abductor machine but she was like, standing up with each rep? Hard to explain but it made an awkward looking exercise look even weirder.

Questing ain't easy

That elliptical might actually be made for that. There's one at my apartment gym that has side steps for that exact reason. It'll even tell you to do that on a "full body" workout mode where you rotate from normal style, to legs only, to arms only.

Today the kid's school was cancelled due to freezing rain and it screwed up the morning routine and I still could have gone to the gym and left the kid home, but I didn't, and this is the first weekday in like a year that I haven't gone to the gym and now I feel like a bloated piece of poo poo.

PARTY ALL NIGHT

EAT BRAINS ALL DAY


I never go to the gym or exercise and I eat and drink whatever I want.
Even though I am skinny fat and pallid, at least I will die of heart failure.

hmm well even if he's not working the legs much, his core has got to be putting in overtime trying to balance that much weight.

Huge, jacked dude in my gym was doing the same but with core and arm stuff and I was like "Well, works for him, I guess." Got chatting for some pointers and pretty much everything he said was followed up with some details about how he severely injured himself doing that workout so I guess I'll just stick to not injuring myself.

Please disregard my advice w/r/t history.
One of the employees at my gym drew a bunch of goofy motivational poo poo on the sidewalks outside leading to the front door and it was so childish and patronizing.

It felt like I was at a planet fitness

If you don't go to the gym for a while and then go have a good workout the endorphines you release when you peak is like a full body orgasm
