Not a trend though, your body gets used to the same routine then it has less of an effect.

She would actually benefit overall her neurological system gets way more stimulation if it’s randomized.

Despite the well-intended advice against plateauing, giving advice to strangers at the gym usually doesn’t go so great in my experience

People think growth always means changing but sometimes it means staying steady when life tried to knock you down

I went through the same thing. I have a strict workout that I maintain and have been asked multiple why I don’t put more plates up even when the workouts have gotten easier. My body gains mass very easily and I don’t want to get bigger. I work to maintain the size, structure and strength I have now.

Discipline and consistency is great for many things but that’s a bad example. And changing up your workout routine isn’t a trend just common sense when it comes to weight lifting.

Some of these people don’t go to the gym and it shows lol At the gym this is acceptable(politely offering advice), especially if you’re coming from a place of concern and not belittling. We’re all there to better ourselves in one way or another, so if your advice doesn’t apply to me, I’ll politely decline(like Shordy did in this scenario) and we’ll both go about the rest of our workout like healthy adults. Shit, maybe it’ll even spark up a conversation and maybe a gym friendship grows out of it. Not every disagreement is combative

Man that’s wisdom right there Sometimes peace looks like repetition not progress

If you’re at the gym so often that you notice the habits of other gym go’ers AND you feel the need to interrupt to interject your own unsolicited advice, you should probably take a breath and touch some grass

Reminds me of my grandpa, who drank and smoked daily until he died a very old man.
He would tell you the secret to his long life was minding his own business.

Sometimes people just want to move their body. That’s a completely legitimate reason to go to the gym. It doesn’t have to be about loss or gain or even active maintenance. Sometimes people just want to move their body around for an hour and then go home.

This happened to me! I had a frozen shoulder and I was doing the shoulder press machine with light weight and very slow and steady cause that mf hurt! A man came and asked me kinda huffy “why are you at the gym” and I said “to get healthy” and he proceeded out his mf mouth that if I wanted to lose weight I needed to put on more resistance and push myself way harder. I kept trying to ignore him and he just kept fucking talkin! Finally I said “I’m good” and just left.
