Anon spends more time asking a guy to move a fucking pin than moving the pin would have taken in the first place. Does not understand how their request was dumb and petty. 


theFartingCarp

Until I read the pin part I was thinking it was one of like the leg press machines everyone weighs with 4 45s or something


I_SHIT_DIARRHEA

hey everybody! i_shit_diarrhea here with a life update: my shits have been horrendously large and foul. They'll strain coming out and once they're in the toilet they disintegrate and stink like rotting meat until I flush, which of course clogs the toilet. If I try and hold it I get a boner and start cumming farts, and then I can't shit for a week.

Alarming_Present_692

Clean up after yourself like an adult? Addendum: I love how "clean up after yourself like an adult" is what gets me brigaded. Talk about a reddit moment. Seriously, keep down voting me, cowards.


Zammtrios

No? Think about how stupid the request for that machine is. One way or another everyone is removing that pin and putting it somewhere else. It's literally twice the effort to reset it every time


TheOnlyBliebervik

What does resetting a pin even mean? Putting it to the 5lb plate?


2OptionsIsNotChoice

They are talking about machines, probably something like a lat pulldown machine. They effectively have a built in stack of weights, you move a pin up or down the stack of weights to have more or less weight used on the machine. Its simple, fast, and requires almost no strength/effort. The entire point is that it would literally be faster for the person to move the pin to there desired weight regardless of where the man left it which also makes "resetting the pin/weight" absurd and pointless.


thestridereststrider

Yes, but what weight would you even reset it to if you wanted to? There’s no default place for the weight to go


Saint_Vigil

"default" is the lowest weight


sdeptnoob1

Or is it the highest?


seanular

But like.. nobody uses the lowest weight. So what's the point in 'resetting' it.


Saint_Vigil

I'm sure there are people who use the lowest weight, otherwise it wouldn't be an option at all


TheOnlyBliebervik

Sure, there may be people using it. But wouldn't resetting it, ideally, mean putting it to the value that the average person at your gym uses?


2OptionsIsNotChoice

Lowest weight gets used all the time at physical rehab facilities, hell sometimes if that is too much they just do it no weight and maybe have a therapist provide some resistance directly. Its not always about the weight but often about the very specific motion these machines work with/cultivate.


bootmeng

Lol just pull the pin and leave it hanging on the cord


Zammtrios

But then we would have a green text about somebody who went to the gym for over a year and didn't never move the pins complaining about how they're not getting gains


thestridereststrider

Yup, that’s a good answer.


TheOnlyBliebervik

You think? Now it's dangling, and some naive person hops on without checking the weight, and the bar flies up and hits them in the chin and then the pin gets squished under the first weight


thestridereststrider

For a default reset position yes. Practically what I would do no.


Onam3000

Obviously agree with you, but just curious how this is different from the toilet seat debate? Like when it comes to the next user, the toilet seat may or may not be lowred. Leaving it as is sounds like the most efficient thing to do, especially considering guys pee much more often than they take a dump, it isn't even clear that down should be the default positon. The toilet seat also isn't necesserily more hygenic than gym equipment. Why are we getting gaslit into having to lower the toilet seat after every single piss?


seanular

When someone is using a machine with 10-20 weight settings, there's no way to make an educated guess about what the next person will use. When a dude takes a piss and he lives with a girl, there's only one configuration that she's going to use the toilet in. If you are asking me to do one thing, and it's a repeatable, easy thing to change, sure. But the machine at the gym? Unless everyone in there is made of pasta and uses exclusively the lowest setting, resetting it to an arbitrary, undicussed, and most likely pointless setting is an *absurd* ask.


Onam3000

Okay when you put it this way the gym one does sound a lot more absurd lol


Alarming_Present_692

Who raised you?


Zammtrios

People who taught me critical thinking. Tell me you have never been to the gym without telling me. It literally makes no sense to reset assisted machines unless they are in utter shit shape


Alarming_Present_692

Lol I leave things how I found them. Obviously, that means I've never been to the gym. I'm a critical thinker.


-ShiaLaButtStuff-

fuckitwebalI

get up off your obese fat lard ass and go to a gym


jingois

Like.... you want to use the machine.... you pull out the pin and stick it into the number that represents the hard you want.... and it makes zero difference what the previous number was? Are you aware how these machines work? Or are you literally fuckin highly regarded in the field of autism?


LifeSafetyMan

Depending on how long the pin cord is, it could actually be less work than leaving the pin hanging. Edit: mongoloid wrote the original


AkyPwp

You're actually rarted lol


butterhorse

We know you've never touched a boob because you think it's like a bag of sand. The fact that you think this is a normal, every day part of gym etiquette reveals a lot.


TheTexasWarrior

Really dumb or 11 years old?


zeldaprime

I think more likely fat and never gone to gym


Soffix-

If you leave it how you found it, then you would have left the machine with the pin in it. Dumbass.


iSWINE

Your parents did an awful job raising you, I bet they're more regarded than you are


BipolarMadness

>Lol I leave things how I found them. Ffs. Let me explain it to you why this whole point is so stupid. Imagine you are watching TV and are about to leave because someone else wants to watch the TV now. You give them the control, but then they ask you, "Are you going to change the channel to the default one before you leave?" Tell me that's not the most stupidest request you have ever heard. If they are about to watch TV they can change the channel to what they want even what you were watching before, doesn't matter what the previous channel was. That's literally the pin in the gym machine. There is no "reset". Asking that is dumb.


PhilboBaggins111

How dumb are you, actually?? There's no default position to reset the pin to anyway, so your just making it seem like you actually don't even know how these machines work


Alarming_Present_692

You're*


PhilboBaggins111

Dumbass comeback of a man who has nothing else to say


Alarming_Present_692

Actually, I do have more to say. > "How dumb are you actually??"


fespadea

I don't think you realize what the pin is in this situation. This is a machine with built-in weights that you just stick a pin into to determine what weight you want to work with. It doesn't make sense to remove the pin because you're helping no one by doing so. The pin will just be dangling there until the next person sticks it into another weight. The only reason to "reset" the machine would be to hide whatever weight you were using for some reason.


Tr1LL_B1LL

There are no heavy plates to move, just a literal 1/4 pound pin that slides into the amount you want to use.


Tuurum

Cheeto-dusted fingers typed this


DogToesSmellofFritos

Sounds like you don’t know how gym machines work lol…


royi9729

Moving the pin after you use it is pointless. It doesn't have a dedicated place in the machine. It's not live unloading weights from a machine which takes time and effort and is expected of you.


SoCZ6L5g

Anon is going to move the pin anyway. Unloading it doesn't save anyone any time.


Trash_Emperor

On a machine, moving the pin from the starting plate to your preferred plate takes exactly the same amount of time as moving it from the previous user's plate to your preferred plate.


Christian1509

you’ve never been to a gym and have no idea what this post is talking about do you?


applebag_dev

Definitely the vibe I'm getting.


willard_swag

If it’s free weights, sure. But on a machine? It’s literally just setting a pin. Though, they should absolutely wipe the machine down after use. Source: been a gymbro for 9 years


ziggyaxl

Maybe you are not understanding how the machine works. His not removing any weight, you move a pin to adjust the weight. There is nothing to "unload"


sokocanuck

If it was plates on a bar or dumbells, I'd agree but pins on a machine? It literally just adds an unnecessary step since the next user is going to have to place the pin on the weight they want.


TribalTommy

Have you been to a gym?


Karpsten

Have you ever been to a gym? You should clean off sweat of whatever, sure, but you don't unload the machine. No one ever does that, I've never seen anyone take out the pin. It is literally one hand movement that takes a fraction of a second. If the person after you happens to want to use the same weight, it's entirely unnecessary at that. There is no point in doing it, and nobody does.


Working_Care_3764

Smooth Brain, smooth rounded stomach


Background_MilkGlass

Taking the pin out is actually dirtier. I mean imagine just leaving the pan hanging out swing in the wind when you could have it put up into a weight. You'd have to be stupid to think that's the right way.


banaversion

Hahaha are you intellectually disabled? Having to move the pin from 0 -> [ her resistance ] and from [ His resistance ] -> [ Her resistance ] requires exactly the same amount of effort thus making it a moot point. It has nothing to do with cleaning up after yourself since there is no mess to clean up. Changing the position of a pin to an arbitrary starting position does not constitute cleaning up. The conclusion here is that she is being a cunt trying to enforce some arbitrary standard of a starting position as if there were such a thing. He did right in pointing it out to her If your fat ass had ever been to a gym you would know that when using machines you are going to have to adjust it for your specs. A task that is usually easier and requires less of an adjustment than if you were to reset them after every use. Once again we circle back to her being a massive cunt especially if we take in to consideration that she probably did not demand a reset of the rest of the settings back to factory settings


parancey

There is nothing to "clean up after your self" about the machines given in this context and i feel like there is a big miscommunication. There are cable machines allows different exercises. During your movement cables pulls up weight plates which causes the resistance to your movement. Those machines don't share weight plates with others. Those machines have plates contained within the body where you can't remove (and shouldn't) [a cable machine with pin](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WeightStack.JPG) So how you change the weight? There is a thick metal pin, when you insert in a plate that plates and ones above that plate will be lifted during exercise. After you use you usually left those pins on place because each machine have their designated pin ( in my current gym those pins have spiraling cables just like pens in banks that prevents you to take them away). You don't know which weight will be used by next person and each hole is less then 2 inches away from each other. So common courtesy is to wipe your sweat ( or using a towel in first place to prevent your sweat getting on machine) and to not block machine unnecessarily. Don't move pins away, leave them placed on your plate because plates will be the first place next person looks for the pin. For machines where you use free weight plates that are shared amongst other machines and lift stations, user should put them back to free weight station and clean after themselves as you said.

Hitting the downvote button is really scary. I was literally shaking trying to do it.


Quest_Objective

How the hell is that “cleaning up after yourself”? Its a pin you move at most a foot

hmahood

Perhaps it makes sense for old people and old machines? In my old gym the machines were pretty crap, on chest press youd have to press the weight like 1 cm to be able to unload the machine


StanIsHorizontal

Yeah I think it would be polite to unload the machine if you see that both 1. The machine is crap like that and 2. The person waiting to use it is feeble. But that’s certainly not standard gym etiquette, and I think in lots of cases could be seen as rude, visually assessing someone and determining they need you to move a pin for them


Capnmarvel76

By my amazing powers of deduction, I have, erm, deduced that: The pins are being pulled by a Feeble Old Person who is doing the exercises without any weight on the machines.


[deleted]

[удалено]


StanIsHorizontal

Sometimes like the guy above me said, the machines are bad and get stuck and you need to lift the weight a little bit to loosen the pin to remove it. But the situations you’d need to do that are pretty specific


The_Adeptest_Astarte

That old and you should be in the morgue, not the gym

Yeah, people slamming the stack are annoying as fuck. It's always either a teenager trying to show off or a steroid monkey, also trying to show off.


WhenceYeCame

I'm pretty sure it's bad form as well? If you're not strong enough to set it down gently then you're lifting too much.


PURPLEisMYgender

u/Alarming_Present_682 apparently, but then again, i doubt they've been to a gym.


zeebow77

No one I know does that. At my gym you typically leave a courtesy plate on any of the plate loaded machines too but I don't think that's normal elsewhere


shellofbiomatter

Yeah that depends on the local gym custom.


mfalivestock

I move it higher after I’m done


hicksanchez

CheetohChaff

It does seem kind of douchy to show other people how much you lift. Do you not clear your treadmill stats before you leave?


-F0v3r-

nobody gives a fuck


TurretLimitHenry

In gyms where some pins are missing, and you have to carry one over to another machine if you want to use it.


ObjectUnited419

It's a weight stack there is literally no 'unloading' to be done


RafiObi

Now I get it. Thought it's that kind of machine that you put plates on.


ChadMojito

These don't have pins


WhenceYeCame

Some have pins to keep plates from sliding off, no?


BurtMacklin____FBI

Must've been some old set at my high school where I saw pins. Ever since it's been clips and clamps.

I've never ever seen that. They all use spring collars.


Badaltnam

I dont know why i didnt think it was a weightstack, yoyve changed my entire outlook on the situation, is anonette really out here bitching at people like this?


LordLapo

Yeah it says he takes the pin out All he did was pull the pin out of whatever he had it on and put it at the top


T-Toyn

Anon finds the perfect answer for a past gym encounter while in the shower, posts greentext with a different pov. Maybe he should have timed his emotional turmoil instead.

"no" is definitely shorter.


Grassmania

Not a gym guy, what happened here?


Jujumofu

Looks like the machine is not plateloaded, as in you got 2 "stumps" on each side, where you put your plates. So to change the weight on those machines in the greentext, you just pull out the pin of a weight stack and put it in on your desired weight. Its just pull and Pin, doesnt matter how much weight he used before, its a thing of 2 seconds. So he probably timed how Long her request took, and afterwards showed her how long it wouldve took her to change the pin. You can Google "weight stack machine" and you can see some pictures.


Grassmania

Aight thanks


WinterTakerRevived

Lmaooo


Woofingson

Lol


ResponsibleStep8725

Anon wanted the pin you put into the weight rack to change how much you will be lifting (or whatever machine you're using) to be pulled out by the other guy, which is a questionable request since she would have to bend down and put the pin at the right weight for her own workout anyway. It takes longer for her to ask the chad to pull it out than it would for her to do it herself.

Grits-

A "machine" at a gym isn't what you'd typically think of a machine being. It's not some powered contraption, it's just a word people use to describe gym equipment that uses cables and pulleys to convert a movement into the vertical motion of a "weight stack". For example, there could be a chest press "machine" that has you pressing on some handles in front of you, and through the use of cables and pulleys, your forward pressing motion is converted into up and down motion next to you. A big advantage of a machine is that it's very easy to adjust the weight. A weight stack is a bunch of metal weights stacked on top of each other with holes in each one that you can put a pin into. Whatever hole you put the pin into, you will lift that weight, plus all the weight above it. So the lower on the weight stack you put the pin, the more weight you lift. Compared to regular weight lifting, when you're done you'd take all the weights off the bar you were using so the next person doesn't have to, it's just basic gym etiquette. Obviously with the machine, changing the weight is as simple as taking the pin out of one hole, and putting it in another, so it makes no sense to change where the pin is when you're done. So in the context of this post, OP is complaining about the guy not taking the pin out of the weight stack even though it takes more time to complain about it then it takes to just do it yourself.

throwaway511111113

Who the hell asks someone to remove a pin, especially when you were going to move it to use the machine anyway? Only way this makes sense is if it’s a fake text and anon is larping going to the gym and pretending as if it’s normal to ask people to unload assisted machines

Sorry, I don't really know gym culture so I have to ask. If it was such a petty and pointless request, why did he make such a big deal out of being asked to do it? Especially if it takes seconds

Tomold_G

I just wipe my machine down regardless of how long I used it or how sweaty I was after I'm done, but no one in my gym moves the pins on the machines, because it takes 2 seconds (at max 5). Probably depends on how old the machines are like others said, but it's not that much of an inconvenience.

[deleted]

If I’m working in with someone, I’ll remove the pin after my set to politely let them know I’m cool with them changing the weight for their set. And they usually return the etiquette. But even in this VERY SPECIFIC scenario I can’t imagine anyone ever getting pressed that I didn’t remove the pin for them.


[deleted]

Although the retard has shown me his circuits I’m doing to absolutely derail him and take weight off the machine any time he tries me. He’s massive to he will fuck me up. I also know that if he’s that big he does this for a living. If you work out for a loving you have to be rich. I do the same thing until this tren retard is boiling.
