Way to go female trainer with non trainer body
you got your client on the pull up assist machine, and watch as the woman does 3 inch partial chins at the top
I hate most trainer, teach the girl how to do a real chinup,
Split my drawers squatting last week. Nothing breaks your focus quite like that.

thatās why I go freeball in the gym.
I actually have a good story finally;
Iām doing snatches the other week. Iām by a squat rack in the corner, which has some weight plates by it. There are about 8 places in my weight room to get a plate from. For some reason this skinny dude needs a 2.5 and decides that the squat rack in the corner where someone is doing snatches is a good place to act like a retard. Now this guy HAD to see me doing snatches, but for some reason MID set he decides to step OVER one end of the barbell. Usually Iād just berate a person for doing something like that, but Iāve been in a foul fucking mood for the last 3 weeks so I decided to teach him a lesson. I started the rep. Now obviously the rep stopped when the barbell made contact with his scrotum, but I proved my point. Had I gone full bore I probably couldāve crushed his ball sack with the barbell, but since this was for demonstration purposes I didnāt accelerate the bar as fast as I normally would. He ended up curled up on the floor. I berated him for being a retard, he recovered several minutes later, and found it prudent to apologize.

I did that as well yesterday, my favorite gym shorts ripped right up the middle
This kid today was doing powercleans and squats in the rack next to me. Heās fairly strong, powercleaning 225 and he was a tall, fairly skinny dude. In the middle of one of the complexes, he picks up my bottle of MAG-10 and Powerdrive, swirls it around and asks me, āIs this liquid d-bol?ā
I was so befuddled that it took me a while to say no.

Should have roid raged on the guy bruh, canāt be letting people just scope your gear like thatā¦
I talked to a nice guy this weekend, but heās definitely not a lifter. We had this little gem of a conversation:
Him: Thereās a Planet Fitness opening down the street. Its only 10$ a month.
Me: Planet Fitness is fucking gay.
Him: Yeah, the dumbbells only go up to 60lbs, but they have a smith machine if you want to go heavy
Me: ā¦

You should have said āYesā and sold him the rest of your MAG-10 bottle for a 5000% price increase. (Liquid flavoring not included).

I felt like a supreme ass today- for my 6 Weeks to Superhero program, I totally use a whole rack for about 50 minutes. Between the weight and exercise switching, Iām sure I look retarded, and since there are only two racks I canāt imagine anyone is too happy, but I donāt care. [/quote]
Iāve always felt perfectly free to tell gym management if the rack/cage count is insufficient to the demand.
Given that itās downright the most adaptable piece of fixed equipment in the gym, and gets more utility per square foot of space, thereās a strong argument for that. Contrast with most machines which are single (or if youāre lucky, dual) use, and take up at least as much space as a cage. Cable stations excepted.
My current gym has 3 cages (with lifting platforms), and a squat rack. Thereās another cage, but itās for TRX/band work only (left over from before the new cages arrived). Even with that, and my off-peak hours, there are occasional waits for space, and there are a few of us who can do a full workout (60-120 minutes) in the cage (I usually spend about half my time there).
I did tell my old gym where it was I left for and why (one cage, hex plates, 150# max DBs).
Visiting an unfamiliar gym today. Iām searching all over the place for a chin bar (the place is four levels) and nothing seems to be grouped together in any coherent way. Squat rack is next to treadmill, etc. An employee is giving a tour to a prospective member, so I ask her ādo you have a chinup barā Her: āa champ bar?ā me: āor that, but would like to do some chinupsā her: āI donāt know, we have a bunch of lat pulldown machinesā. Did my pullups in a smith rack. Not much of a story, but Iām going to look around for a champ bar from now on.
anybody ever have trainers talk shit about them?
a while ago at my old gym (YMCA), this fairy trainer (prob 6ā1 130lbs, saw him 1/4 squatting 85lbs onceā¦) had his client on the bench next to me, feet up in the air obviously and his client asked him what i was doing (benching with powerlifting form since i was doing singles) and he started muttering how i dont know what im doing and my form is wrong and im going to hurt my backā¦just ignored him and did my thing
another time i was doing 1-arm power snatches and he came up to me and said
Fairy trainer: what are you doing?
Me: 1-arm snatches
Fairy: woowww, thats a nice exercise to do to look cool (and walked away)
Today at the gym, two 50 yr old guys were doing bicep curls on a smith machine

Complain to the gym management about him. Easiest way. It might seem passive aggressive, but this way, you wonāt piss off management if you confronted him directly.

Thatās fuckin awesome.
Today:
-Two girls doing planks for about 40 minutes then go to do 1/4 squats in the rack next to me. They ask me for advice and I said, Go at least to parallel or below on squats. If you need to, use that bench to practice sitting back into a squat and exploding up. It took maybe 5 minutes to give them a correct idea of form, but I like to think that did something.
-two bros doing curls, on the negative, one of the bros pushes down, but not on the eccentric. Weird- he did it for db curls too.
-two other bros doing incline situps with twists and gut punching/ pushing back down. Very homoerotic.
-One girl doing pushups on the bar in the power cage. She had to ask me to move the bar (unloaded) from the hooks to the safety rails. She weighed maybe 90 pounds. I felt sorry for her just because she was so tiny and weak, but apparently she had progressed- she did 10 pushups. She said two weeks ago she couldnāt even do one.
Now that all this has been postedā¦ Has anyone ever come up to the curler with 2.5 lb plates on each side something like āHey, would you care to move? Iām actually working out.ā I seriously feel like saying it and allow people to see my expression when they tell me they have 5 more Squat Rack Curl sets. Also, whatās up with everyone dry-fucking each other? Iām in the squat rack, and some asshole comes right the fuck next to me to curl? And another to do push-ups? The gym is kind of big, and there is a lot of space to do your Curls or Push-upsā¦ But no, everyoneās gotta be right the fuck next to each other. Happens in my Deadlift too, but that is too much, then I actually tell them to move.
Today, on my last set of squats, I accidentally dumped the bar. I finished my last rep, and as I was about to step back in, I stood up to straight and the bar came crashing down onto the catches. 405 lbs falling a few feet makes a loud sound.
Amazingly, the trainer behind me did not care at all.

Why wouldnāt she just use a box? My gym has different height boxes and when I was doing the Look Like a Goddess, Lift Like a Man program I just used those for my incline push upsā¦ Doesnāt it hurt having your hands wrapped around a bar like that? Or at least not itās not very stableā¦
