Tweethow does everyone here deal with people at their gyms who are displaying obvious lack of knowledge and skill when they train? do you ignore it as i normally do with the shake of the head or do you try and offer advice which is probably going to be not well received? just a few examples:
have an older woman who comes to train in early 80's bright neon shorts with the old old school crazy checkerboard and loud stripe combo pattern. she's friends with my cousin's husband's dad so i'm aware she has a knee issue which surprises me that she is on the treadmill going to town. you can hear her on this thing across the gym with headphones on. she has this thump/thump/slight pause/loud thump pattern and you look and she's taking these two quick steps and landing extremely heavy on her bad knees on the last step and it's like she spends more time in the air then on the treadmill after her workout not to mention it's annoying to see this woman leaping in the air on a treadmill besides the obvious noise. you have to think she's jacking the hell out of her knees but i ain't going near her to tell her.
got another guy, early 40's maybe, skinny as a rail who sets the weight very heavy on every exercise he does and struggles to get that weight up using every muscle but the one he's training and then does like a 30 second negative and racks the weight after one rep. always thought this was an intensity thing to try for a shock to the muscle after a plateau has hit maybe but this guy trains this way alllllll the time and still has 10 inch arms, pot belly and legs like a 9 year old girl.
then we have the "hardcore" boys. these three dudes who started training with this self proposed harcore bodybuilder who was juicing although never really that jacked. he has these friends who he started training with him. he's since disappeared but these three guys still come in, all 135 pounds each who grind out these three hour workouts doing hundred of sets and next day revelling in the fact they can barely walk after legs or bring the water bottle to their face after chest or arms but again since they are so severely overtrained their bodies cannot begin to grow. apparently their boy never bothered to tell them he was using aas. the funny thing is they strut around like they are the biggest dudes on the planet, ILS in full efect. one of these dudes is so comical. he comes from work, cahnges into his standard issue bodybuilding.com tee shirt, shorts and dress shoes from work and actually has this slow, cocky strut as he walks to the bench press bench. omg. i just looked at him this one day as i was doing hammer incline presses with 340 he was benching 155 and the left side of the barbell was a good six inches lower than the right side, he loudly racks the weight, gets upp and struts to his water bottle, looks around and sees me and nods like "hey bro" and takes a drink. i just chuckled and pushed the weight up and did my set. omg omg.
how do you people deal with people like this at your gym? if he wasn't such a cocky dum**** i'd consider saying bro, you got crazy intensity, if you dialed back the volume a tad, a few less sets and ate a lot more protein you'd be twice as big as you imagine yourself to be but obviously juicer boy who trained him convinced him this is the only way to train if you're hardcore.

TweetGuys like that wont listen to you Big Dawg..It would be like me tellin an obese woman that get on a treadmill and on the cell for five mins how to work out haha! Not worth the effort.

TweetWhen im training I am completely in my zone.I try to not even pay attention to anyone or anything other than my workout.Too many guys there that are either fools and idiots that don't know shit or just there for a f&n social gathering.I just blow by them and stay on course!

Lol..I like it

TweetI like to train with big headphones on, a baseball hat pulled down low over my eyes. I try not to make eye contact with anyone. I am in my own little world. I try not to even look at anyone. Between sets, I meditate on my goals. Often I will pull out my goal sheet and read it between sets. One time, I was standing off in the corner, meditating between sets and doing deep breathing with my eyes closed, and some guy I know came over and asked me if I was feeling ok..LOL

Tweeti try to stay in my own world. i do get you on the whole wanna give some advice thing though. there are times when i wanna tell the 300 pounder on the ab crunch machine to get on the treadmill and stay on until she/he loses 50, maybe a hundy, but i don't.
