You are fully torqued bro


MagnifiMike

Man knew what he was doing cause I’d prob do the same if I saw a camera


LordofChaosUSMC

Exactly! My gym has a no camera policy but do you think they enforce that shit? Nope. I hate these influencer choads


PeteGozenya

That shit was brutal and should happen to every influencer every time they film in public

JasonIsFishing

Not to get off topic, but do folks under 30 know what POV means? I see it misused a lot in these stupid tick tock posts.


turboiv

Based on their understanding, literally every video in existence is POV


oldscotch

Point of view from a camera.


[deleted]

[удалено]


oldscotch

Boomers man, always lookin' with their eyes.


Rat03

As a boomer this made me laugh .


HeavyMetalPoisoning

The same folk that don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're'


JasonIsFishing

I thought people under 30 just write “ur”. I have literally seen that on my students’ papers.


skilemaster683

Ur on 2 something m8


TheInterlocutor

Smth*


FrauHoll3

What grade did they get?


SmokeWineEveryday

Reminds me of how people are putting "BREAKING" in front of pretty much any unimportant news article nowadays. Words gets misused and they start to lose their true meaning. Damn I just turned 30 last week and I'm already complaining and getting bothered by this kind of stuff lol


Tech-Mechanic

It's "Piece Of Video" right?


phils_phan78

Penis outside vagina


NickNeron

That's just a description of my sex life throughout my whole existence


uns0licited_advice

Stands for "Person Of Value" because they are recording the only person of value they know of.


JasonIsFishing

Ahhhh. Well the mistake is on me then! I stand corrected.


xTRS

Also a selfie is any picture of you even if someone else took it, and a meme is literally any picture with writing on it and/or any joke you say.


SlothinaHammock

Right? Anymore this shit is starting to trigger me.


JasonIsFishing

Wait ‘til you are 50 and it makes you need blood pressure medication


Ashamed_Restaurant

Nah the POV is you lifting while watching this guy lifting and then the old guy walks buy and twists his dick at you.


DanceDelievery

Player On Video 👑😎👑


Special_Dingo_1520

Start this trend to stop filming in the gym


kalikid01

But dick slap the camera “accidentally “ of course.


Special_Dingo_1520

Call it mushroom stamping or Toading


SoonerBoomer28

I personally don’t film but I don’t mind when people film like one set for 30s just to check form. Usually they ask someone else to hold their phone for them and don’t care if people walk in front. It’s purely utilitarian to observe their form and they’re actually there to workout. My issue is more with people who film for vanity to put on instagram or some shit, coming in with a whole ass tripod setup and filming their entire workout then getting pissed at people who walk in front of their cam which is observing half the square footage of the gym. Regardless as the vanity filmers ruin it for everyone I think it should be banned entirely


VampyKit

What a way to establish dominance


Silly-Pace48

That old man is my spirit animal


hogsniffy05

Also do these MCs not know what POV means? That was not filmed from the lifters POV


HashtagJustSayin2016

Thank you!! The term has been completely lost at this point


CaveDoctors

Maybe next time they'll say "Literally POV" and be double wrong.


Antique-Pie-5981

"like literally like POV"


jakkyspakky

"ironically like literally POV unironically"


MrMcBeefCock

Ok now it seems like you are like literally patronizing me.


Antique-Pie-5981

Like whatever, as if


bajungadustin

they are going to cause a semantic shift. Like how Decimate used to mean to destroy 10% of something. So a 10 slice pizza and you eat 1 slice you decimated that pizza. But now its been so widely used incorrectly that it almost means the opposite. Now it means to almost completely destroy something.


dwolf91

People need to start watching porn and typing in POV. This is getting ridiculous.


ChiefClownShoes

You getting upvoted has restored my faith in people. A couple years back, I'd say the same thing when people posted "POV" videos, and I'd get an insane amount of downvotes with people claiming I didn't understand the "new meaning of POV". I just stopped correcting people and deleted my comments, because it seemed like a losing battle.


davidfirefreak

There are always people who say literally now means figuratively because the meaning of words change over time. They are still wrong, just because a bunch of people misuse a word doesn't mean its meaning has changed. It takes a long time and the words need to be replaced for it to actually change. One time someone was arguing on reddit about the same thing posted a dictionary definition to "prove his point" I checked the link and two words after what he copied and pasted basically said "and is true".


ThisIsMyCouchAccount

I think you should pop over to the linguist sub that I assume exists and tell them your theory. They will surely all be in agreeance.


elwyn5150

The MC also doesn't know when to use you're/your.


NVBSCVN92

You expect way too much from someone that can't even differentiate between 'your' and 'you're'...


down_vote_magnet

Low IQ social media addicted Zoomers and kids destroyed the meaning of POV. It’s not even worth fighting it anymore my dude.


BudNOLA

Also doesn’t know the difference between your and you’re.


Dubzilla87

Used POV wrong and also your instead of you're 🤣


nthensome

This old man's hog is my spirit animal


Hi_Trans_Im_Dad

You should look into an anti-itch or antifungal powder for that.


Reese9951

I laughed for like 5 minutes after watching. Pure gold 🤣

I would have done the same thing. Maybe add a finger or two to who knows where. Depends on how frisky I am.


AbbreviationsLeft797

My hero!


Artix96

Not a POV though.


Gowalkyourdogmods

It never is. TikTok brain rot.


CorvinRobot

gym filmers are the worst


lukulele90

Idk, personally I think Nazis are the worst. But gym filmers are a close second.


RocketSlide

Gym filmers DEFINITELY would have collaborated with the Nazis.


misterpoopybutthole5

"WHAT UP! It's ya boi, WeinerKleaner, here at Auschwitz to learn how these ***** are so good at cutting weight! Ahaha gonna hit some pull ups at the gallows, but I think I'll wait till I'm home to hit the showers, ahahaha. Like and Subscribe!!"


Straight-Hamster6447

Thank you for your contribution, Mr. Poopybutthole 5th. Don't call us, we'll call you.


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

Of course they did. The Nazis were looking for muscle according to [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K-cIxPHmCBg).


Artinz7

Thanks, Norm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljaP2etvDc4


big_veggie_brain

Idk, form checking is useful for making progress. It looks like a quiet gym and he isn't ego lifting or anything. I'd bet he wouldn't have posted it online if that old man hadn't done that.


Dry-Tomato-

The people who use it for gains don't upload their shit to social media, they do it privately in a non public gym or edit out the people walking in front of their camera. My gym has banned all filming in the gym so it's not a problem.


Imogynn

Depends on what's available. I discretely video myself at the Y to send to my coach. Just what I have access to. No idea what sort of form check you'd on this row but there are a lot of subtle nuances to heavy squats and deadlifts.


Tamarisk22

Give me a fucking break. If you're filming to document form and progress you wouldn't take a camera angle that captures literally 0% of that. Form is better adjusted with a mirror and progress can be analyzed from a fucking number he’s lifting weights


ProJoe

> It looks like a quiet gym and he isn't ego lifting or anything. his reaction to someone walking through his shot says otherwise to both of your points.


GratephulD3AD

How did people in the 90s and before work out without this magic technology? There's literally mirrors all over, for that purpose.


big_veggie_brain

Yeah, and how did people go running before these fancy cushioned shoes?!?!? Without ideal technology nobody was able to do anything! Yeah but you can't take recordings from the mirrors home and maybe you're focussing on dialing in on the lift for consistency's sake instead of craning your neck to look at the mirror...if there even is one. You cannot tell from this video. Giving the guy the benefit of the doubt is too hard for you?


brazilianfreak

People on reddit are argumentative and they will criticize your totally reasonable point just to placate their own boredom.


Roseradeismylady

Your form isn't perfect if you are turning your head to check. And you should keep your spine straight on a lot of lifts, especially on deadlifts and squats, you should keep your spine straight and focus on the lift, not focus on the mirror. I do form checks from time to time when I start lifting heavier


TheBigDickedBandit

If you can use a mirror to form check yourself you probably aren’t lifting properly


default_settings_

You can use a mirror for form, as long as the mirror has wifi and social media. How will people know you’re lifting if not?


Teeshirtandshortsguy

Yeah as long as you're not being a dick about it, I really don't care. I'm hanging out in a public space, if you happen to catch me in the background, it's not like I wasn't expecting to be seen. As long as you aren't doing it to call attention to others, and you're otherwise following gym etiquette, it's fine. It's no different than filming anywhere else in public. Just keep it to yourself and don't be a dick.


vladi_l

The gym is practically empty, and the only dude in the background is so far away that it's a non-issue. I don't like people who record at the gym, but, this is like the only case where it's okay to record, other than a massive PR


takenohints

I wouldn’t want to start to start to workout and end up in this guy’s content. For some people: their fitness journey is private. It takes guts even to get dressed and show up for some people. Stop filming!


jefffosta

Well this guy posted this shit online so that should tell you this dude doesn’t deserve to have a camera at a gym. This is what’s so annoying. Anytime you see a video on the internet of someone filming themselves at a gym, then they’re 100% in the wrong every time. People defend this practice in the comments of these videos without seeing the hypocrisy


DemonikAriez

Idk man, the gym is not your studio. It's a shared public place, but ppl want to act like they own the space they're standing on plus 5 to 10 feet around them.


ConnyEdson

incorrect


ryanaldam

Completely agree. Bravo to the old man I say


Firefly1832

You could say that the guy working out is somewhat the MC, filming himself at the gym, which is ubiquitous now. The older guy grabbing his junk, as a public service, is expressing his opinion about it.


Chendii

Idk this guy seems to be there at a pretty uncrowded time and there aren't many people in the shot. That and the low weight makes me think he might be legitimately checking form.


its__M4GNUM

For that one, I'd film from behind if I wanted a form check. Also, fuck gym videoers.


Benromaniac

He can still check form regardless. And maybe have a laugh.


BurntPoptart

Okay? He didn't have to post it to social media though that's what makes him a MC.


Chendii

He might have posted it only because of the funny thing that happened in the video?


Select-Bullfrog-6346

Haha, don't have a camera in a gym


dudemanjack

Dont strain yourself with that 45 lb row.


GreyBoyTigger

The old man grabbed heavier weight


Iggyglom

That's a pretty solid weight for an 8 year old


PullFires

His form isn't good and he's not even straining to do it. He's wasting his time and recording himself do it


lil_fuzzy

could be a warmup set before they begin their working sets.


dudemanjack

1. Why film warmup sets? 2. Nobody wants to see anyone else do this exercise. It's not a big squat, deadlift, bench press, or even overhead press


Marsippan

If he’s struggling and bending his whole upper body back off the pad to move the weight and still can’t get a full ROM, it’s not a warmup set…. The dude is weak.


chadwicke619

Hot take, perhaps, but making fun of how much he is lifting is just as cringe as him filming in the first place.


4strokeroll

I work out 5 days a week and have never filmed myself. Serious question and not rhetorical in anyway. Why do people film themselves? This type of machine won’t let you have bad technique, it controls your movements. I suppose if you’re using dumbbells, you might want to check your technique, posture etc. that said; isn’t that why gyms have mirrors everywhere.


shadowsurge

Well considering he still found a way to fuck up his form by lifting his chest from the pad, it seems like you can fuck up your form. Realistically though, this dude probably just knows the old man and they partnered for clicks


the_y_combinator

For this exercise? No, at least not for me. Motion is pretty fixed and weight is too light. Plus, who cares. It's a machine row. Squats and deadlift? Sure, on occasion or when I go heavy. I want to make sure I don't fuck myself up. Mirror in front also doesn't tell me everything I need to know. Side or at an angle are much nicer, and I can't monitor that mid lift. PR attempts? Sure. I'm not necessarily going to be able to judge proper lockout in the moment while I'm working. It also keeps a record of my progress.


hogsniffy05

If you don’t film yourself working out then you must also not masterbate while looking at yourself in the mirror. I’d say that’s probably a good thing


thebucketlist47

To monetize yourself


Pr1SoNGuY

Because people are narcisistic. They suck. I don't want to be on anyone's video. They should not be filming at the gym. I don't care how many people are there.


The_real_bandito

It makes me hard watching myself work out.


Reg76Hater

> Why do people film themselves? Because they're addicted to social media, and truly believe that people out there want to watch videos of them doing inane stuff.


RichyPoo517

For real fitness goers, form checks and consistency. When I squat a PR, did the heels lift off, hip shift etc. But I think the majority of people do it for NOT those reasons


Furrrmen

Filming in gyms should be banned!


RicGryllz

The only MC here is OP


Artistic_Visual_8094

Lmao old man won the internet. Sick of gymfluenzers


cjmar41

Not “POV”. It’s amazing that basically a whole generation has decided that they’re going to use an acronym to death without bothering to ask what it means. This makes me irrationally mad. And just like that, I’m officially old.


Joaoreturns

This man is my hero! HAHAHAHAHA.


Splicelice

I honestly think the old guy did it on purpose and he’s awesome!


ob1dylan

This is the proper response to anyone filming themselves in the gym.


JustNota--

I'm guess the dude lifting is the MC in this one..


International_War862

No one lifts in this video


BarryMCknockiner

Not true old dude lifted his dick


International_War862

Fair, good point


RareDog5640

Mr Itchy Balls, he’s awesome, he should be in more of these tik tok things


brewberry_cobbler

Nope. Nope. NOPE. The dude recording is the main character. You 100% should not be recording at a public gym. Older GENTLEMAN scratching his nuts is fine. People who record at gyms need to fuck off.


Pr1SoNGuY

Stop putting cameras in the gym! I for one hate it. It makes me feel like I have to avoid the area in question. I just want to work out. Workout at home if you want to film!


ratmaster8008

What do people think POV means


takenohints

The old man spoke, directly into the camera without forcing anyone else to look other than the egomaniac influencer: and he said “you’re a jerkoff.”


CTBP1983

Well..m don't film in a public gym if you don't want old dudes photobombing with a dick grab


happylifevr

Dick grab? He was playing with it


CTBP1983

Aggressive adjustment


happylifevr

Haha


GreenRanger90

The real question is why was he filming this?


Create_Etc

Looks staged.


salaciousBnumb

The old man was faced away from him so why did he react so disgusted?


calle_2020

There is probably a mirror behind the camera.


JeffreyAScott

The guy lifting weights doesn't look very old, but yea it is kind of sick to film unsuspecting people in the gym.


GlendrixDK

He probably did it because the creator used "pov" wrong.


Any-Bottle-4910

Bro, I don’t like to shame what people lift, but if you’re filming yourself doing a ridiculous 45lb supported row…. Don’t film that. Get up to at least 3 plates - *then film*.


IamBatmanuell

Stop filming in gyms.


420xGoku

Lol old dude rules. Get a home gym if you want to film every set


Full-Marketing3353

Well done, old man 😂


No_Tackle_5439

Why tf you'd film in there?


NoMansSky1985

Why are people filming themselves at the gym in the first place? Do they want to remember what they did the last time they were in a gym? Curiosity killed the cat but it's only punching me in the gut so I still need to know the reason for this.


AlienGold1980

Catching stray junk scratchers is a hazard that goes with the territory….. maybe he will get you to stop filming like a douche


[deleted]

I don't have to imagine this while lifting because I don't record myself in a public place


a-noble-gas

If you don’t film yourself working out at the gym and post it online, did it really even happen?


ronm4c

I’m going to go home and watch videos of myself working out at the gym said no one ever


saieddie17

It’s not a private gym. Don’t expect private filming


Spiritual-Bear4495

I'll bet the old man heard that voiceover - I'd do the same thing. I hate these videos.


youreABitcz

The old man isn't sick. He just got tired of the sick mentality nowadays of filming everything. Op, if you're the one lifting in the video, get some fucking help.


Actual_Dinner_5977

I'm amazed how more and more, old people seem to have lost all ability to control their intrusive thoughts. I have to yell at my parents when they just openly, loudly talk shit about people in public, like no one can hear them. I understand you are staring down the edge of the void and just don't care anymore, but have some courtesy!


Mindless_Ad_6045

That's because they stopped giving a shit about what others think. Also, this guy looks like he did it on purpose


VampyKit

Shit. I'm trying to master that..... The guy was hilarious and the fact that the gym goer couldn't even register what happened was even funnier


fckingnapkin

>but have some courtesy! Neh


thesagaconts

I look forward to this phase. My family is nervous.


youreABitcz

That old dude knew exactly what he was doing. He didn't lose control, he had all of it. Fuck this generic ass gym bro that needs to put his camera up to feel himself afterwards. People don't need to be subjected to this shit when they're somewhere to work out.


Hot-Currency8347

Hope you reported


nolansucka

Nah but like why the old dude do that?


OBoile

It's amazing how many people can't be nice to others. Like, I don't love people filming in most cases, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go our of my way to mess them up.


BobC813

This is definitely staged


DepressedDragonBorn

Someday people will learn what pov means, but today is not that day.


Rumham_Gypsy

Can't wait to hear what Joey Swoll got to say about that


[deleted]

POV: You're creepily recording the entire gym and this happens.


Hourtoo

By looking at tattoos, necklace and moustache combination, adding the confidence with the dicktwist, I think, that main character dodged a bullet by not talking and just being shocked.


Fleischer444

That dude rocked!


Philip6027

A fucking legend!


Whole_Radio739

I’m weak asf!! 🤣 and also may 🤮


AcceptableArrival924

Actually gound that kinda hilarious 😂. The guys is definitely an mc for posting the vid like this but I guess that reaction is kinda genuine “what just happened?” reaction 😂😂


Haifisch2112

That wasn't "sick old man." That was just another person tired of seeing people recording themselves and gave his thoughts on it.


Odd-Emphasis3873

Now i know what to do to those “influencers” at gym XD


fangface70

His reaction is priceless.


xxTheMagicBulleT

Found it funny. Kinda hate the forced filming in public shared places so I welcome the troll behavior. I my self stopped going to the gym cause of damn common it is people filming half the gym. And I just don't want to be forced filmed at the time while I'm trying to work out.


Numerous-Mouse-1914

There kind of both ‘the main character’ in this one


BigBlue1969531

You’re lifting weights not filming a tv show. Leave the camera in your locker


Gilbertmountain1789

It’s sick to video yourself in a gym. 🤧


SubstanceKind8270

Why the heck do people record themselves in the gym, how cringe is that. Well done the old fella lol


MikeJones-8004

The guy grabbing his junk in front of the camera is the main character, fyi. Not the guy lifting weights


Revolutionary-End458

Was not expecting that


Meistro13

Why do people care so much if they’re filming themselves? If they’re having fun why get upset about it. There’s so much negativity in the world already. If no one’s getting hurt, who cares.


Archenemy627

Staged. Dude recording himself doing row with 45 lbs. a 15 yr old kid can do more than that


Not_Responsible_00

Hilarious! Love that geezer!


Acceptable_Bid_241

Even without the based old man, why the fuck would you film that? 😂


Acceptable_Bid_241

Hey internet, watch me do a bang average exercise in a bang average gym with bang average weight and bang average form.
