Re: TODAY I WAS TRAINING

OMG bro, i am noticing the same crap. I usually train in the early AM and the peeps training then are into their sheeit and do the training the right way. Since coming back from Disney i haven't been able to get there for 4AM so i have had to roll in during the afternoon and the crap that passes as training is pathetic. there is this one guy who just got his PT certification and he thinks he is huge, has the Imaginary Lat Syndrome and trains very noisy with lots of grunting and terrible form with too much weight. After every set he walks away from his training partner and flexes the muscle he was working. They were doing calves when i was finishing up and the dude has NO calves but after a set of calf raises he went to flex his calves inthe mirror. The one part i have that i think really looks pretty good are my calves so i went a step behind him and flexed mine right along with him. He looked at mine and stopped flexing and hopefully focused on training instead of posing. the other **** that pisses me off is the folks who just come to waste time. there is an older lady who walks with two canes and like clock work when i go train on the ab machine with the weight stack she hops on and sits there loooong time in between sets and literally takes 40 minutes so i end up training elsewhere. this one dude gets on the assisted chin apparatus and does 10 phuqing sets. i'm waiting right next to the thing just staring at him. then he decides to do 10 sets of dips on same piece of equipment. the dude has NO visible muscle, wtf? i gotta get back to mornings where people get in, do their **** and get the **** out when they're done.

Re: TODAY I WAS TRAINING

people just have no clue. it's the same everywhere pretty much. the individual's ego/ignorance/rudeness always gets in the way. the last gym i went to was basically a meat market, very few serious trainers and mostly socializing or bull****ters who were only training to say "yeah, i go to the gym". it got to the point where i was getting into arguments with people because they wouldn't let me work in, or where hogging equipment or hanging out on it while talking on their phones. i just kept going because i got a good corporate rate. i finally had to realize that there was nothing i could do about these people, that it really was the gym's responsibility to tell them the rules. i was glad to leave.

since i moved out to california, i found a gym that is totally stocked with every piece of equipment i could want, and there is nobody in there. it's heaven.

the only gym i have been to where it wasn't like that was powerhouse in louisville ky. portell cotrell trained there, state and national level competitors- a true iron dungeon. everybody knew the rules and treated others with respect. every now and then a young kid with an ego would come in there, but they were put in check pretty quickly. i miss that place- $150 a year!
