Hoosier,
I used to train at that same Worldgate before I knew what real training was. I am from Herndon by the way. I guess they added alot of new equipment since I was there. They used to have 1 squat rack, no room for deadlifting, and absolutely no olympic lifting. I guess they jacked up the price too, but I trained there several years ago. But it looks like some things never change. The same medium shirt wearing fag (thats for Coach X) CEOs, and accountants that
used to curl in the squat rack are still there. One good thing was that the aerobics room was open and all the rich MILFs provided some good entertainment.
Tonymoore,
That is hilarious. You should tell him that his quad and bicep muscles he looks at in the mirror are just an illusion and they are not really there. Watch him freak out.
No shit, i live in herndon too bro. Yeah they added a TON of equipment there, infact, they get new equipment every year, but the latest surge, omg, we got color coded weights with open holes in them for handles. Red, blue, yellow, black. It made me sick to my stomach. Everytime i hunker down in the freewieght section, i feel like im in a bowl of fruitloops. They also completely replaced the basketball court, so right now Worldgate is looking better then alot of D1 training facilities. Did you know any of the trainers there, or any of the staff? I work there in the summers, both as a swim instructor and trainer for the explosiveperformance program they have. You said you were from herndon, how old are you and where did you go to highschool?
Oh, and Tuesday and Thursday morning is so totally MILF hour. I swear, you could randomly pick out 9 mothers from that group and have yourself a Northen Virginia version of Desperate Housewives. Ah, to be 19 and training like a T man, i love when they look.
Only been part of a gym for 2 weeks, my home gym has everything except a heater.
I was there for my second workout and some guy said “You shouldn’t do bicep curls between chin up sets, it tires out your arms and you can’t do as many chin ups.”
Whilst i was doing weighted full range dips, i felt the stare of another patron…i knew he’d come up and ask me something.
“Thats deep on the dips man.”
Well i feel my arm strength gets much better that way.
“Me, i don’t go too deep, because i use it as a tricep exercise and i don’t want my shoulder involved!”
Now forgive me if i’m worng, but surely you don’t do an exercise like dips for isolation. Further more, the shoulders can never be excluded from an exercise like the dip.
Next to my office is the local YMCA. They have a sh!tty weight room, but it’s nice to have in case i can’t train at home or between clients. Well one day while deadlifting the local idiot in charge of the cardio and weight equipment comes over and tells me my form is off. Not being arrogant and always looking for good constructive criticism, I ask what needed correction. He says “your right foot needs to be back 6 inches or so from the left one.” What?!? Can you imagine trying to DL with your feet not in the same coronal plain? Then he says “this is coming from over 20 years of lifting experience.” Some poor fool is going to listen to him and get hurt. They should really fire him or at least cut his tongue out. I had to leave. Now I just wear headphones and pretend I can’t hear anyone…
I had the same person tell me these two things within a month or so…
During a “lesson” I was giving to two of my female clients on the benefits of red meat, this “expert” came over and told us how dangerous red meat was for ones health… continuing on, I switched the term to “beef” and the same “expert” exclaimed that everyone should be eating beef… can’t get enough of it, can’t be strong without it etc., etc.! Conclusion; red meat BAD… beef GOOD!
Another from same guy… He told me that d-bol is so bad for ones “kidneys” because when you swallow them, they pass through the stomach and “sit on the kidneys” they then presumably eat up your organs like acid might.
I figured I would just drink a glass of water to wash them off and perhaps tip to one side so the d-bol tabs would fall down to my feet where they would do no harm. (the LIVER was never mentioned)
I was deadlifting in one rack. A guy was squatting in the rack beside mine. Another guy doing shrugs on the Smith machine. I overheard the following statement.
Guy on Smith machine to other guy: When I was in high school I deadlifted 700. But now since my car accident (about 10 years ago) I can only do light work on the Smith machine.
lol…I am actually guilty of giving diet advice by referring people to McDonalds. Not because of steroid injections in the meats, but because some people just want to get big. lol.
Also guilty of suggesting people to run to work their legs. That’s what I do from time to time, when I am running hills.
I am waiting to suggest cock-push ups in the gym next. lol
There was a “huge guy” doing squats over in the corner of the gym, and some other clown doing curls in the power rack next to him asked, “any advise on getting big?”
The big-guy responded “Wonderbread, eat lots of wonderbread, it has all the nutrience you need…and it’s especially important to eat extra bread before bed”
