I saw some messed up stuff in the gym today! I might start taking videos on my phone as I 'pretend to text message' hahahah. Vids would make this thread a whole lot better!
He was not happy, kept saying "i'm better than this, I can bench 235!!"
Well I had my "friend" (girlfriends friends boyfriend) come over to workout with me the other day. He is your typical johnny bravo looking bb routine type. He is always talking to me about his last workout and how much he bench's and curls etc. He wants to know my numbers and I always explain that I don't curl and he always gets a confused look on his face. Finally I convinced him to try my workout. Well needless to say I had a great time. Will set up camera next time.
Now I have been on an oly heavy routine lately but decided to go with a more traditional push/pull/press for him. I decided that squats would be the most fun considering I don't think he has ever squated in his life. Now the guy is VERY muscular and outweighs me by a good 30lbs. So I show him proper form on the exercises (back ATG squat, overhead squat hehe, and front squats)
I weigh 195 and do not have the loftiest squat numbers but I still manage to get the job done. I did a warm up set of back squats with 205. He said it looked easy and wanted more weight. I was tempted to throw more on but decided my gf would be pissed if I broke her friends boy toy. Needless to say he got stuck on the first rep. Good times. He finally managed to get through 5 reps at 135. At least he did it though. He was not happy, kept saying "i'm better than this, I can bench 235!!". Next up was overhead squats. I told him he could skip these but he wasn't having it. So I once again warmed up with 115 and he looked very confident. I insisted that he start off with 65 to get the form down and because it is a difficult lift. Now I clean the bar up so he wanted to give that a shot.......well we never made it to even trying one overhead squat because he ate it falling backwards trying to clean 65 lbs. He left shortly after and hasn't talked to me since.
I highly recommend this to anyone who has similar "friends" .
You are a dickhead, and not in a good way.
thank you.
This older guy was doing these biiiig looping shrugs today. I politely said "Excuse me, sir, do you mind if I make a suggestion?" He goes, "What." I said,"when you do shrugs, it's best to do them up and down. There's no reason to rotate your shoulders, it causes anterior glide of the humeral head (I gave a medical explanation so he might actually start doing them the right way)." He goes,"It hurts to do them the other way." Probably because he's never lifted a weight without the use of momentum before. I said good luck, and he didn't respond.
I hate people that give unsolicited advice in the gym, even when they are right.
