So I am working back today. Heavy compounds, barbell row, T-bar rows, etc. etc. sweating my ass off. Here comes this 5'5", 150lbs tops personal trainer with his kettelbell and two other personal trainer goons in tow. I don't usually give a fuck what the next person is doing in the gym but when I see a guy this size swinging a metal ball between his legs demonstrating this feat for two other goons I say what the fuck. Epic fear of moving real weight and gaining an inch or two anywhere. Total idiot in my opinion. Discuss

Agreed...i know you were in their heads...they probably glanced over constantly watching a real big strong guy lift.
-
Probably a kettlebell with knurled handles. Epic bastardizing a good thing.

Oh, you mean "sight"?

Thanks for the spell check m8. Keep up the good work!!

I have notice that myself lots of time when I see people use kettle balls at my gym when I am training.I also dont give shit about kettle balls when I am training. I rather to use real weights any day not bloody kettle balls.

"and gaining and inch or two anywhere"
I think you meant to say "and gaining an (not "and") inch or two anywhere"
:)
-
That's nothing. I seen this massive 5'8'' a buck thirty guy talking on his cell phone. He moves to the triceps pushdown using a rope while holding the cell between his head and his shoulder.
Phone falls, guy's arms flails in the air from the weights coming down while not being able to hold the rope -- total jackass!
Needless to say, everyone around him laughed...including me. :D

Well, since M8 corrected him, I thought I should do the same. :)

I think SF1900 and M8 need to make proof reading their career. Finally I offer you direction in your lives. You can thank me later.

Nope, I am in school to be a psychologist. Though, sorry you get offended that I correct fifth grade mistakes ::)

Psychologist, have fun listening to peoples miserable lives daily until you commit suicide.

I know, it is quite sad. Today, some man with bi-polar disorder told me about his father that used to abuse him (physically). It is sad :(. Though, I do not think I will commit suicide, which is what you want :)

Well, he was doing heavy barbell and t-bar rows and sweating his ass off. Anyone would be in a bad mood after a workout like that!

You don't know about those type of workouts SF1900. Stick w/the cable machines you will grow like a weed.

why do BOTH barbell rows and t bars, just do one or the other and then dumbbell rows, i train back the day after legs so doing both of them i'd be almost dead, pulldowns, bb rows and db rows are all you need.
-

Machines and cables? Too hardcore for me. I prefer medicine balls, bowflex, resistant bands and jump ropes.
We can't all be hardcore like you and barbell row 405 and t-bar row 8 plates ::)

I have my cell phone when I am training in the gym.But when my phone rings it pisses me off.I am thinking at the time when it dose god dam it.
You dumbass. You have it when you're training, but get pissed when it rings? Where's the logic in that?
You do realize you're the people we heckle when you have that thing on the gym floor, don't ya? :D
-
I train with kettlebells and reg weights-kettlebells give you a lot of explosive power-they are real tough when done tthe right way-differnt weight balance-great for grip and the best exercises are snatch clean and jerk and military presses-dont knock em

This is--without doubt--the most pathetic failed attempt at a "gym owning story" I have ever seen. Study Squadfather's posts and see how it's done, noob.

No, actually kettle balls are quite effective in building muscle mass and more importantly "the core". In Ronnie Coleman's first video, I remember this exercise he did using a kettle ball....what was the name of it?....oh yeah, kettle balls are fucking pointless..hahaha
Gotta love these "fitness gurus". Sorry, but your basic movements are what add mass and more so, diet. It's interesting that most you see jacking off a kettle ball, usually look like nothing. Same with the rubber band horseshit. Unless, you're using it for a sport specific purpose, golf swing, pitching, etc...it's an utter waste of time.
Face it, most people have a hard enough time getting to the gym, then when they get there, they realize...I actually have to sweat? oh man.

You can end this idiocy.
Get a cell phone jammer.
Looks like a cell phone. Strap it to your belt...activate...knocks out all cell phones for up 75 foot radius.
And then you will have peace without distractions.

But it cost a pretty penny. I wanna say somewhere in the neighborhood of $400.

Everytime I see people rolling around on these ridiculous balls in the gym I want to get a huge butcher knief and spike 100 holes in the damn ball. There a total waste of time and people on them get in the damn way.

Regarding kettle bells: Used prroperly, they do hav a place. One of my old trainers was an Olympic-style lilfter and had some heavy-ass bells with thick handles. for him, I can see it.
Regarding phones: When I worked for Johnson & Johnson I was in Raritan, NJ(company HQ) for training. I was at a Gold's that had a lot of out of town traffic. This Gold's was great, a real hole in the wall with chalk and DBs up to 170lbs. Chuck Wepner was either an owner or big-time member, his pic was everywhere. I digress...
There was an ass-hat that dropped his DBs after every set of chest, no matter how light (and he was small, so they were pretty light). 45s for 12, BLAM! Drop them from full extension. Between sets, he would text or talk on the phone, then lay the phone by the bench during sets. During sets, his phone would ring or text alert incessantly, at full volume. People were getting pissed, staring him down, etc.
Most of you can see where this is going.
Last set of DB bench, 60 lb DBs...drop from full etension...
CRUNCH!!!
He didn't text or tlk nymore that day and everyone laughed their asses off at him!
-
Still blows me away how even with all of todays technology, modern day equipment, array of free weights, dumbbells, machines and hammer strengths, people still flop around like idiots on these dumb balls. Mind you, 99.9% of these people that do use them have no muscle no base and no idea of how to workout in the first place. You'll never see a guy/girl in shape using these death balls. They are one big accident looking for a place to happen.
-
Is that all you do on your back day? Serious question, because you must be done in like 30 minutes...
40-45 minutes and then 8-10 sets of hamstrings afterwards.

NOW you modify your post after I made you look like an ass. :D

No one cares what you think. Discuss. Oh, and your back workout you described contained no compound movements...barbell rows on the smith don't count. stop being a pussy and use a freely moving barbell. hope this helps.

why do BOTH barbell rows and t bars, just do one or the other and then dumbbell rows, i train back the day after legs so doing both of them i'd be almost dead, pulldowns, bb rows and db rows are all you need.
I totally hate dumbell rows, don't feel it in the back at all

close-grip pull up
wide grip pull down
t-bar rows
reverse barbell rows
rack deads

really? if i started out with close grip pull ups, id end up using my biceps a shitload in the rest of that work out. i like to start out with high-rep deads or pull overs just to get blood in the lats before i do any movement where the bi's might come into play...makes it easier to keep the biceps out of the movement.
other than that, im do pretty much the same movements. although i do like dumbell rows.
-
how do you define athlete? i define it by one who has at least one of the following traits: strength, speed, quickness, agility, endurance. do golfers and drivers have any of these traits? me thinks not 8) ok golfers are very skillful and drivers got lots of fucking guts but athletic talent???
-
a golfer CAN be an athlete. or they can be a dancer of sorts.
athlete= tiger woods.
dancer= ernie els.
if you know golf, that just made a whole lot of sense.
if you dont know golf, you probably think im crazy. ;D

ok i've played golf many times, not that i'm good at it, but still i know the game. and it only takes skill, and not a high level of any of the previous 5 factors i listed. and i didn't say dancers i said race car drivers. and yes, dancers are athletes coz it requires a high level of endurance, agility, quickness and a moderate amount of strength
-
tiger woodsa is an athlete. you can play golf like its a sport, or you can play golf like its a performance. a dance, if you will. lok at tiger swing a golf club, that is an athletic movement. look at ernie else swing a golf club, THAT is a dance.

Athletes can be professional (paid) or amateur (unpaid). A superior athlete is one who has above average physical skills (strength, agility, and endurance) and is thus more suited for physical competition. An Ancient Greek word for "contest" was athlos, and those competing in early Greek games were called athletes.
Most professional athletes have particularly well-developed physiques obtained by extensive physical training and strict exercise accompanied by a strict dietary regimen.
