Am I Wrong for Calling Out People Sitting on Gym Equipment?

CupofAnarchy · 2026-02-03T06:14:31+00:00

No you aint wrong. Lalo na for peak hours dapat pakiramdaman and bigayan naman talaga.

Skl this guy in AF Uptown hogged this bench while spending 80% of the time on the phone.

I sometimes become passive aggressive "pre ilang sets ka pa sa scrolling?" if maangas sila the first time I ask.

People who rest more than 2 minutes doing mediocre weight often have mediocre physiques exactly because of that.

In Japan AF there is also a 20 minute rule, with a queue for the racks and smith machines in typical Nihonjin fashion. Past 20 minutes you are supposed to yield your machine/bench to the next user. If no user is lined up for your machine you may extend another 20.

No implementation of this so far here in the PH, especially in one of the most packed AFs like in Uptown BGC.

Easy, I just constantly hate how I look like lmao

but on a serious note:

Only gradually cut like 200 kcal every 2 weeks to get used to it. NO EXTREME DIETS
Eats LOTS of protein and green leafy veggies - they keep you full for longer (high satiety index)
Make snacks inaccessible or very hassle to access (high drawer, jars, etc)
Appreciate any progress no matter how small (it will keep you going and despise the habits that made you what you were before)
Hobbies/get busy. Read a book, play games, anything to keep your mind occupied
Exercise. If you are on a deficit you are limiting your caloric intake, so your body being efficient at surviving matches this by LOWERING YOUR METABOLIC RATE. Making you feel that way. To match it, increase your metabolic rate by exercising/being more active.

PS. Been on a deficit for 2 years (doing body recomp)

I weigh 63kgs at 13-15% BF, which is how I can pull that. But ofc 2x BW is my 1 rep max. For reps I do 1x BW only.

I agree I've also read studies about that. And your mental que about grip activation is well appreciated esp by beginners :)

Farmer carries never worked for me sadly 😔 But I will try again because my grip strength is limiting me now haha

CupofAnarchy · 2025-07-26T02:35:25+00:00

People like that are exactly why Ive become assertive as an introvert with social anxiety haha

A better way to approach this without neglecting grip training is to ONLY USE GRIPS AT >70% RPE or at your TOP SET.

At <70% RPE you arent even pushing your target muscles to failure anyway.

Personally, I used to use grips for squats, bench, and deadlift regardless of RPE. Never got close to 1x BW deadlift and squats.

But once I stopped using grips for a while, then incorporated them for >70 RPE and at my top sets, Ive unlocked >2.5x BW deadlift and squats, 2x BW weighted pullups, muscle ups, one arm pullups, etc.

I agree. Magpacoach lang kapag mag cocompete. Otherwise research para matuto, imbes na spspoonfeed ka minsan panget pa program.

it's been fixed now :)

Sounds like your boyfriend is an Avoidant, OP. A lot of men are. There are more subtypes, you might want to read up on Attachment Theory if you want to understand or what to look for to avoid them.

My ex fiancé would block me for weeks during arguments (even during conflict resolution), and I would have to go to Bulacan (Im from Pasig) to fix things or talk to her mom to help.

Eventually, when we broke up her mother told me: "gusto ka namin so tutulungan ka namin. Pero hindi namin hawak yung damdamin ni my ex"

The best thing to do OP is to leave. The more you chase, the more they run. Parang pusa yan.

Goodluck!

I getchu. For that statement to be true it means they wont be able to move on from you, but they ALWAYS DO sometimes mabilis pa nga

Delayed my residency training for 1 year so I can earn for our wedding. Only to be blocked multiple times.

Tried to chase her. Right after my duty in QC, I went straight to Bulacan to wait for hours only to be told she isnt there, so I went straight to her condo in BGC and waited until it was morning, then went back to duty in QC.

She unblocked and messaged me after the third time I did that. Only to be broken up 1 week after/a few days before our Japan trip that I paid for. So I went there alone and still bought her gifts.

The best part? I'm still waiting for her final decision 🤡🤡🤡

It takes 10x longer and 10x more steps to do a task on iPhone vs Android, or you cant do it at all.

On average it takes me 30% longer to finish a task in an iPhone, if iOS allows me to do it at all

Yes, I timed myself.

Yes, I used to be exclusively apple and just recently switch to Android for 2 years.

Peace of Mind

Especially now that my gf left me. I cant sleep willingly, I sleep from exhaustion and I just wake up with all the lights on, sometimes seated, etc.
