Look at pics of Xen Nova. Make a mental note of what he looks like. Stay away.
The problem is you guys go to Fitness centers. I used to belong to one…pink and blue color scheme, lots of trainers running around, fitness evaluations etc etc. How did I fix it?
I joined a gym called Flex. It looks like the gym out of Pumping Iron. No bullshit, the few trainers they have are all leasing space to run their own PT business and are all very knowledgable.
Nobody bothers you. I’ve had a couple monsters ask me for spots but I’m always more than happy to help but for the most part it’s a bunch of people getting their shit done and that’s it.
Although I did see someone using the squat rack for curling, luckily they have two.
Smile, nod and keep on training, just smile and nod works a treat.

Jerome, you’re taking yourself, and this thread, far too seriously.[/quote]
Ok, I’ll lighten up.
I wish I lifted so much weight that people wanted to come up and talk to me because they were impressed, but there are a lot of guys at my gym stronger than me.

duurrrrrrr. why are people talking to YOU? they’re probably trying to help you with your form, but don’t want to hurt your feelings.
Don’t ever give unsolicited advice. No one likes this, and people who do it are assholes.[/quote]
was that a general statement? i know the rules of the iron club all to well my friend, you don’t have to worry about me. the only exception is when somebody looks like they could do some serious damage to themselves. i might step in and say, “that doesnt hurt your back when you do that?” and thats it. i’ll just walk away, unless they ask for more.
oh and op, nobody is impressed with your snatch. it’s loose and smells funny.

Anyone else have people talk to them just because they’re impressed by what you lift? I go to a fruity Uni gym and today had 3 guys talk to me, 1 knew his stuff, the other 2 were twits.
I’m usually nice and answer people’s questions but I really would prefer not to talk to people. Any tips on avoiding this?[/quote]
Sometimes I can’t tell if people are complaining or bragging when they create these type of threads…

Notice how I didn’t even state the exercise in my original post? Also notice that I didn’t state the weight? And lastly I said it was a University gym, (i.e. it doesn’t take much to impress people).

I knew a girl with a 4-finger snatch once, but you have her beat hands down. No wonder those guys wanna talk to you.[/quote]
That was funny…
As for the original question:
Headphones and slobber, goes hand in hand with squats and milk.
B.
Pretty much the same as above. Here are some Q and A from my uni rec center:
Do u wear those shoes (Chuck Taylors) on purpose? Nope, woke up with them on.
What do the bands do? I don’t know, I haven’t figured that out yet.
What are the chains for? Practicing for the Christmas Carol. I play Ebenezer Scrooge.
What does that (deadlift) work? This muscle (motioning to body as a whole).
What are those boards for? I’m practicing to be a lumberjack.
What is that funny shirt for? What are you talking about… I wear this all the time!
How do I isolate the outside medial posterior head of my bicep? I HAVE NO CLUE.
I’ve had some guys who knew what they were doing give me some tips before,other then that I get a trainer telling me not to lift so much because I’ll damage my growth plates…I purposely run to something heavy and pick it up just to piss them off…tell me not to lift something heavy.

Good stuff, although with the chains you are looking to play Jacob Marley, Scrooge’s dead partner.

LOL! I like that better than my standard, normal answer that I’m training for strength and since you train for looks, the chains will do nothing for you. They still don’t get it and walk away.
