Told Not to Slam the Weights

Off Topic
81

I had a 55 lb dumbell on there because that was the starting weight for my One Lift A Day program. And no they were not partials.

As for the supervisor he’s the guy I was talking about. Earlier he had words with me about bringing an olympic bar up to the dip station. The reason I had done this is because I was on the Waterbury Method and it was the only good way to super dips with Bent Over Rows.

My problem with him isn’t really that so much, it’s the way he addresses people in the gym when he wants them to do something: whistling at people, coming up with gay little nicknames and being a general dick about things. That was a continuation of what was happening before.

I assume you’re the guy who was fucking up his back trying to do cleans with horrible form.

Oh boy, here we go. Very little puts Push on the warpath here but this is one of dem things.

Just to reiterate.

Well kid we’ve learned some things about you since you kept flappin’ your jaws. I told you to shut up but…we now know…

  1. You think about dicks a lot.

…you’re the guy who was fucking up his back trying to do cleans with horrible form.

  1. You’re arrogant enough to dispense training advice after you’ve been in the game for a whopping 12 weeks and you weigh a whopping 160 lbs. (sheeeeit, do I sound like Prof X here or what?)

I’ll show you respect when you do the same to me.

  1. You’re a newb here but you come struttin’ in demanding respect.

  2. You’re a Big Talker Betty Crocker.

  3. You don’t listen to good sound advice.

Hope you’re buying a lot of Biotest supplements because otherwise you’re wasting bandwidth here.[/quote]

Where exactly was your good advice? I sure missed it.

Your problem is that you are arrogant enough to assume that other people don’t know better. When I said that my friend dropped some dumbells to help me out you assumed the worst. Maybe what I said was misleading, but you never asked for clarification, you just decided that it must have been for no good reason. This says a lot about you. You’re right I should have been bigger and just explained what happened without insulting you back and let you make an ass out of yourself (something you do every time you make another assumption). You got the best of me there. Maybe you were trying to help me out in some way, but you disguised it pretty well by turning everything you had to say into an insult and then had the audacity to demand that I not insult you and that I should learn to respect you. My advice to you is that if you want anyone to take your advice seriously you really shouldn’t be so self righteous about dispensing it.

Again - quote me where you gave advice without trying to insult me and then I’ll give you your respect.

Nope, that wasnt me. I had a guy helping me learn hang cleans a few weeks ago, but I got bored with them and moved on. I was the one benching your max on db press as my warm up. Since you dont have much of a clue who I am, how could you assume that I was the one doing cleans? Because youre a prick and you dont like me because I called you out?

I would call going halfway down doing partials, but thats just me. Hell, I thought it was worth posting about in the squat rack curls thread.

You never addressed the temper tantrum you threw when he told you to stop doing your 65 lb skullcrushers and put clamps on the bar. Thats not a very extreme request. Were you afraid that you might have to dump the weight or something?

Getting away from the public display of affection toward Flava…

Is it just me or does that ‘lunk alarm’ seem like an “Only in America” thing? I can’t even comprehend the invention of such a device. More likely, i’m a weird foreigner.

I think aussies are way too intolerant to tolerate that level intolerance. In fact, i semi wish there was a lunk alarm at my gym. We would have fun seeing how many primal screams we could bust out and get that baby honking!

Were you using DBs or a BB? I ask because I don’t know about you, but for me doing 90lb dumbells is much harder than benching 180. I actually DB pressed 85 six times, then went for 95 and couldn’t get the weight into position because my wrists aren’t strong enough. With Waterbury Method I was hitting 235 BB during the 10x3. However, I have decided to stop BB Benching because for one, my collar bone started hurting afterwards and 2. because I’ve read that BB Bench is pretty easy to get injured doing.

I assumed you were the guy doing cleans because the two guys breaking their backs looked at me weird for a few minutes.

I’ve had people check my form before and tell me I was going down far enough. If you’re than interested I’ll let you come check it, maybe they were wrong, but I get the feeling that you’re just trying to find something to talk shit about.

I didn’t want to put the clamps on because I was super setting barbell curls (Waterbury Method again). After I left, yea, I knew I was in the wrong, however, that guy comes off as a dick towards me every time he has something to say and when I work out the adrenaline starts going and I get more aggressive, as I would assume most people do.

edit - your math is pretty shaky. They were’t 65 lbs it was either 85 or 90 pounds.

Last time I did db press, I pressed the 85’s for 11 on my second set. Proper form for dips requires that you break parallel. You were nowhere near that. So you get to lifting weights and the adrenaline gets going and you get all pissed off an act like a douche? Sorry, thats called being a child.

90

So someone who has been training for two years is really trying to have a pissing contest with me? So you lift heavier weights. Get over yourself. I’ll catch up to you don’t worry about that.

Like I said I’ve had people watch me dip. You’re the first to tell me that since the very first time I dipped.

Your last sentence just proves that all you’re trying to do is talk shit. That’s discredits your statements about form regardless of whether you think it does or not. I admitted I was in the wrong. I doubt you’ll do the same in your next post.

91

Youre right. I wont admit I was wrong, because I wasnt. You are a 160 lb fat kid who has a bad attitude and thinks he is a hard ass because he has read some articles on the internet and has been able to make it to the gym consistently for 3 months.

I saw you doing your dips and you were nowhere near parallel. Sorry if no one else caught that. Most people at Fike dont know what they are doing.

15 lb ez-bar + 25 x 2 = 65 lbs

Im sorry to inform you though that I wont be able to put you in your place tomorrow morning as I will be down in the basement moving some real slag iron at the Dungeon.

92

I’m fat? el oh el. I played sports all through high school and I’ve been physically active all my life. Don’t count on not seeing me there the rest of the year as I’ve been going to Fike for the last 3 years.

15 lb bar + 25x2 + 10x2 = NOT 65lbs dumbass. Get your eyes checked.

If you change your mind and feel so confident that you can ‘put me in my place’ then feel free to come up stairs and put your money where your mouth is. And remember, no one is impressed that you can lift more than me, in fact, looking through your training log, I’m not impressed with anything.

93

lol I love how this thread turned into an all out flame war.

Mistake # 1

If they’ve been in the game longer, they have more experience. Shut up and listen. You might learn something. If not then just leave it be.

Mistake #2

Close the freaking yearbook. Everybody played sports in high school.

It’s always such a pleasant surprise when a bogus thread started by a bogus guy makes further bogus people whom you’ve never seen a post from before suddenly emerge from the woodwork. It’s like finding a $20 bill in the wash.

96

This thread has turned quite entertaining. Word in the classroom is that Flava and Tiger are going to fight on the hoops court after lunch.

The longeg this thread goes on , the more I’m becoming a lunk alarm convert.

Another way of looking at the lunk alarm, for all of you haters, is that it is an instant indicator that a gym is not for people who really want to lift weights with any intensity. It saves the headache of joining a new gym only to find out a week later that you can’t deadlift or do overhead lifts. Think of it as a public service.

I wonder if klip will be there to witness any new gang fights.

98

And now without further adue I give you guys more entertainment. This faggot fightingtiger tried to rush my fraternity and was such a douche we didn’t let him in even though we were hurting (and I mean hurting) for new recruits. That explains a lot of this pent up aggression you have and your apparent obsession with watching me lift weights.

Now for the most entertaining part of the thread I present to you fightingtiger:

No, dude. The most entertaining part was your admittance to being a frat boy!

FRAT BOY! LOL!

Frat boys are gay. Period.

Please, continue with the pissing match. It amuses me.
