3 sets is useless
Maybe if I start implementing these rules, I too could wear a size 60 jacket and be 285 at 5’8" while living off of perfect protein shakes with perfect nutrient breakdowns because I’m a vegetarian but not really because I still eat meat sometimes even though animals are equal to humans and then women will worship the shit that I emit from my ass and men will be in awe of the dust that I pulverize with each step because age is a figment of my imagination but the hard-on that I have for a 400 year old woman is oh so real and I am unable to take a picture of myself because I’m too busy editing my literary masterpiece.

How hard is it to take plates off and put them back where they go? If you are all so big and strong then putting away all your plates should be no problem. Every night the employees have all the plates perfectly put away and by 11am when I go in there is no order to anything.
At my gym no one puts away any plates and the ones who do put them away just throw them wherever (and when I say throw sometimes I mean it literally. Some guy was doing curls in the squat rack next to me while I was doing my shrugging. Apparently the 10# plate was too heavy for him to carry the half step to the stem and he just threw it in the general direction where it proceeded to bounce off the floor into the wall and leave a nice mark)
I find myself constantly doing vulture impersonations trying to figure out if this bench or squat rack is in use because someone left the weight on it.
I really miss my old gym where people had common courtesy. All the weights were put away after people finished what they were working on. All the weights went back together with their matching sized plates. Benches were wiped if someone was sweating excessively. Everyone was friendly and helpful, but still serious about their lifting and respectful of others. Spots were properly given. There were chains and bumper plates and a prowler and a safety squat bar and a yoke bar and round plates (none of this boxy flat sided shit that makes deadlifting a pain in my ass) and dumbbells that went up to 150#. It was heaven and I didn’t even realize what I had until after it was gone.[/quote]
heres a hint, if nobody is on the bench lifting, then nobody is working on the bench. I will wait maybe 30 seconds, just enough time for someone to get a drink of water. If they aren’t back, the bench is mine. You don’t leave a work station and just wander off, then come back expecting that bench to still be yours. no way buddy. finish your sets first, then get some water. not in between. You leave, its mine.[/quote]
Yea man, who the fuck do people think they are drinking water between sets when you’re trying to bench? BETWEEN SETS!?!? Fucking assholes, imagine how many more things you could have posted on T-Nation if some dick didn’t need to drink between sets.[/quote]
Whatever happened to bringing your own bottle of water? And like I said, I wait enough time, in case someone did go get a drink. But others may want to use that equipment. Why can’t someone get water after they are done with that equipment. If they are doing more than 3 sets, they are doing to many and don’t know what they are doing.[/quote]
Hey you old bastard
Some of us can handle volume lol[/quote]
lol. Volume can work, on occasion. But I have found, it burns you out rather fast. It has always been the case. When I was 17, same thing. Age is nothing but a number that exists within our own mind. [/quote]
No, no it burns YOU out fast. Volume is probably one of the best ways of getting strong (dont know about getting big). Anyway 3 sets is not volume, its probably minimum sets for most people.
[/quote]
There a quite a few training programs that call for low sets. most lifters only work each bodypart 1x per week. I train each bodypart more often than that, so my set volume can be lower each session and i will still end up with enough volume overall.
Those programs, are, dc training, max ot training and there are others.

Lets tackle each one, shall we. I never said women shouldn’t be able to go to the gym. but like women have(curves) men should have an area, women free. women only serve as a distraction. But women are free to roam among the treadmills and aerobic classes. just stay out of the weight area.
Sorry to say, 99% of guys that i have seen train throughout the years, DO NOT warm up with just the bar. are you a chick or something, lol.
Why can’t you bring your own water bottle to the gym? And yes, if you leave your equipment, its up for grabs.
I don’t believe in low volume, low volume to me is 1 set. I do about 4 total sets per muscle group, to me thats moderate volume. I see guys doing alot more sets than i do, yet, im the one with the size, not them, so whos doing things right?
I never ever ever claimed to be a vegetarian. Not sure where that got started.
And i don’t need to take any other pics. Why bother. at this point, no matter how i looked in the pic, people would still rag on me.
<3
Wait I thought you said anymore than 3 sets was too much? You just said you do 4…

Hahaha!! Damn you, RV!
You’ve never been to a gym where women lift hardcore in the weight area? Come on, now. You can’t be that serious.
I don’t need a women only area. I want to get into that weight room and be able to lift as much as you do, squat or dealift more than you’ll ever do so that men with similar train of thought as you get the message that I belong there and I’m here to stay.
And you’re in that weight room to lift not to ogle women who walk pass. Stick your earphones in and focus on the damn iron. Are you in that area to daydream and to get distracted?

Where else are you supposed to curl? I hate using the pre loaded curl bars. I have curled many times in the squat rack. The bar is right there, you can add whatever weight you choose. And no busting a gut trying to get the weight off the rack.

You can curl anywhere, you can’t squat anywhere. SMH

So you would rather re-position a bar with 135lbs from a squatting height in a squat rack instead of “busting a gut” with a pre loaded curl bar?

Lol @ (more than 3 sets), guess you’re not a BB’er
[/quote]
Let me clarify. no than 3 worksets on any given exercise. Thats not counting warmup sets. I think its been pretty much proven, that few sets done to high intensity is better for growth than simply doing set after set after set. remember, whos more jacked, a marathon runner or a sprinter. hmmmmmmm?[/quote]
I do 5 singles for my big lifts. It’s pretty high intensity. That is more than 3 sets. I am definitely no marathon runner.
I think it might be best to abandon this thread. You have your views on how to train at the gym and most people disagree. Either that, or you might need to re-evaluate how you treat the gym. I know I had to change my thinking about it.
Now Ninjaa
You know women wear those yoga pants to the gym and do wide leg RDLs…
Who the fuck isn’t gonna stare at that open ass bending over?
