dosen't it bug you when people do it wrong?

mr.nitrofish · Jul 5, 2005

I was doing my leg routine today when I noticed an old ladyworking out next to me that looked confused . she was on the "hip abductor" it bacicly works your inner legs by starting in a splits position and squeezing your legs together lifting the weights. she had the leg pads set so her range of motion was about 1" from start of exercize to end.

so I explained how it worked and she snaped at me saying how she knows how it works. she then asked how long I had been coming here, I said since 2002, she then said shes been here a lot longer than me. all I could say was sorry , I was just trying to help.
and the worst thing is if you offer to help they just don't want to hear it. I always see this other old man do dips without bending his elbows, and another that does bicep curls that he only lifts for an inch and does them all in less than 30 seconds.it looks more like hes just twitching.

well thats my rant, im feeling better already

i've had that happen. i've only done it a few times and some are really receptive while others look at me like "who are you ...the gym guru?"

I never try to give advice in the gym, some people are already self-concious just working out in front of other people that when you tell them they're wrong they either snap at you or get scared to come to the gym, others will welcome the help but you never know which is which. I just like the old people working out, they never do it right, but you gotta respect em for even showing up when some old people just sit around waiting to die.

I agree with Steve. I never try to help them either. Most of them know they dont know what the hell they are doing and they get embarrassed when someone tells them the right way. Its sad that they are getting hardly anything out of their workout, but at least they are showing up.

I do it because they can hurt themselves if they do it the wrong way

The worst is the fuckin half repping fags. I see these guys all the time...half repping squats, half repping curls and even half repping the damn PEC DECK! LMFAO.

Full range of motion people! I want a t-shirt that says on the back "Full range of motion you stupid motherfu****!"

dump truck · Jul 7, 2005

I will have one of those shirts.

think ive mentioned this b4 but i will again anyway if nothing else it will get my posts moving again,lol.
theres this guy at the gym who always seems to be on the bench when im waiting he pisses about with a lot of unrelated stretches in between sets, where lowers the bar a little more than 4". Anyway this 1 day he loaded the bar up as usual but didnt notice that it was positioned on the lower hooks, which was already lower than he had ever been, well you know what happened, as soon as he lifted the weight off his arms collapsed and it pinned him to the bench,( it was as funny as hell) i helped him up and tried to explain that the weight was to much for him and that he needed to be able to lower the bar to his chest and raise it again, he said that he knew how the excercise should be done and that when he was used to the weight he would lower it further and not b4,
the moral of the story is f+ck em unless they ask 4 help

Im a deaf mute in the gym. I only offer a spot here and there to the people who are really motivated and giving it their all. Its not a social place for me, I only go there to kill or be killed (by weights)
