That feeling when the weight you pick up at the gym feels warm

Thats nasty but it happens. The worst is when some bozo also gets chalk on it too (in gyms where its banned).
Thank you Purell stations near the water fountains at the gym.
Me and my gf do spin bike for our non running days and because the wildfires / smoke in alberta our gym turned off some of the air circulation to prevent it from getting in the gym. We went into the spin bike room a few hours after a class and it smelled like sweaty warm death. Very nasty.

Urine is not sterile, and neither is the rest of you
Despite what the Internet says, urine does contain bacteria, a new study finds. And so does your brain, the womb, and pretty much everywhere else.

i really don't know what to say.
It's a gym. Not a hospital, or a hotel room.
I mean, I'd understand if you were talking about silverware or something else you were gonna put in your mouth, but warm weights?
Why do you think gyms have showers, OP?

Sometimes I wonder how ERA people manage to open doors. Do you just stand there waiting for somebody else to open the door? How do you account for the extremely low incidence of door pox?
Interesting, still fairly low levels in most folks.Urine is not sterile, and neither is the rest of you

Guess I should stop peeing on yoga mats when I'm done with em.
Never bothered me in the slightest... I only wipe down equipment if there is visible sweat or some other nastiness on it.

Are you this dense? I said it's a crappy feeling, nothing more.
Some of you really read shit that isn't there and take it to the extreme. It's ridiculous.
If you close your eyes it's almost like you're touching a real person. Even better than my animes.

Nothing wrong with venting a bit of irrational disgust. But the whole world is kinda gross when you get right down to it.
Btw you wouldn't like me at the gym. I become a one-man flood

Lol it depends on how hard I'm going. When I'm doing a superset then I'm also sweating a ton, so I know damn well there are people after me feeling the same way I expressed in the OP. "This fucking guy." Lol
Yes? When did I suggest otherwise. Do some of you just gloss over "more conscious when it's warm" or what? I know everything has bacteria.
You would have to do a bit of swimming if I came to your gym
Fridge lifts
edit: actually no the back of my fridge is always pretty warm
I dunno man, some of these gym bros grunt so hard it's hard to tell.
Lose the gloves, earn your calluses and contribute to the historic skin medley that collects in the knurling of the bar.

Grunting hard, throwing dumbbells after a set, cursing. Some definitely sound like they nutted but they're still lifting
I'm not sure which of us is more dense: you for starting this silly discussion, or me for entertaining your ridiculous concerns.
On my part, I apologise to ERA for contributing to this shitshow.
You get callouses regardless, but you prevent unnecessarily tissue damage by wearing gloves. There is literally no downside, if you have the right pair.
But then I might have to touch a warm bar WITH MY BARE HANDS. Ewwwwww!
You came to a popular internet game forum, started a new topic, and typed out a whole OP. If it was NBD, you'd have just had the passing thought and then brushed it aside like other normal humans.
Or as another ERA user once put it, "every thought you have doesn't need to be a thread".
That's why people are thinking you are making a bigger deal of it than you apparently think you are.

OP
It's a thread that took one minute to create just to kick the shit. Big deal.
What gloves do you use? I might get a pair just to help grip the bar during a deadlift better. I have been getting more calluses lately too.

Haha it's the most convenient and cheap enough one near my job that I can run to get a workout in just before I go home. If there was a better one closer for the same price, I'd change.
I do agree. I'm in a bind now because I've acclimated to 90lb dumbbell presses, but there aren't heavier dumbbells, so I'm not sure how to go up with that exercise from here. I don't do barbell presses anymore after a shoulder and wrist injury years ago.
Hahahahahaha
How do we know the previous guy didn't rub one out 5 minutes before starting, and then didn't even wash his hand? Plenty of abnormals out there, y'know, creating these exact type of situations. It's a funny world we live in.
Eh, I can't live life being so sensitive to bacteria. Going to the gym is a place you are bound to run into bacteria and sweat flying around..... now gym toilets on the other hand, those are much more terrifying.
This is only acceptable if you're lifting weight so heavy that it literally might tear your flesh
But powerlifters don't even wear gloves so just get tougher hands
You get a better workout because the baked on sweat weights are heavier.
Gleaning them just reduces gains.
