Seems like yesterday you went to the gym and you saw basic machines, free weights and some treadmills... today you have 12 types of machines that simulate stairs... like you can't find any friggin stairs somewhere and walk them? I got a guy on the right trying to stand on half an inflated beach ball while doing curls with 10 lbs weights.. Got another guy on my right standing on like the Karate kids crane stance while staring in the mirror and doing calf raises. Another dude with some round felt circle thing under one foot moving it in a circular motion on the floor for reps?? Not one of these people appear to be in shape and for the life of me I don't know how they keep a straight face while they are doing those things...
I miss the good old days..

LOL Try loading up the squat bar and pounding out a leg day while these fucks stand around and stare at you like YOU'RE the freak. ;D

Then wait for the questions to come.. "do you take creatine?"... "how many scoops of protein do you take a day?".
Usually you can see when someone "approaches" you to "talk" as if you were buddies. I just ignore them.. turn around and give them a fail.

Or the dude doing 90 pound dumbell presses on a exercise ball, and then says, "Wow, you really 'feel it' on there!"

It’s called marketing and has nothing to do with fitness, strength training or improving body composition. The fleecing of America.

What it really is is followers following, while still thinking they are doing something special and original. I have been in a situation for several months of living with an older relative who watches TV too damn much. The garbage on some of these morning and daytime shows is amazing. Gullible people do not realize they are not only watching is often loaded with political agenda, but everything is a constant advertisement for something. Fitness and nutrition information of this sort are among the worst.

next time you see one of these freaks just ask them what are you doing?, and why? where did you get the idea to do something so stupid. just curious as to the answer.

Sounds like we have some real angry muscle monsters in this thread.

insurance companies and wussification of america
nerfing the US
too hard of hit in the NFL, too hard of hits in NHL, this shit defined what a hardass grown man was back in the day now it glits and networth
everything is a commodidy nowadays and gyms are nonetheless franchised out now by conglomerants and usually are corporrrrately owned or have partners
plus planet fagness leading the new way of fitness ::) and cross fit wanks, curves tanked, now it food in a box, frozein, just heat up and fat ass goes awya
american wussification of weights - bodybilding is 'ghey; now as opposed to 'freaish' backinthe day but thats cause all this shit is exposed online instead of publications that mask eeverything wth bob chics face and fresh food and supp ads, women too, wiht tits OH MY

Cool to give someone a fail sometimes.
But wouldn't it be good to answer few questions and educate those young kids a little? It's not like you're a pro who is at work when training in gym ::)

rofl!!...gold!!.. got the same at my gym!..big coloured inflatable balls and platforms that people are balancing on ....WTF?!..
oh, and a whole rack of dusty kettle bells...WTF is up with that shit?

It would be funny if one of these corporate gym chains took out all the cardio machines, weight machines, and TV's one day and watched the look on the members faces as they try to figure out the free weights.

bad idea to "help" people who dont think they need "help"..

It just makes me laugh sometimes. The intense, serious looks on their faces and they fully concentrate on balancing on the half beach ball while trying and failing to do body weight only squats. "Core" training... everything is about the core.. How the hell have we survived all those years without realizing we have to do funky looking excercises all geared towards the "core"?
Someone hit the nail on the head with the marketing angle. You can build a decent body and get in shape with a barbell set, weight bench, and a few dumbells and some open road. But the fitness industry has managed to build a billion dollar industry inventing new ways to get in shape. I can't blame them, I'm just embarrassed of the gullibility of the average human when it comes to things like the shake weight...

A few months ago I was doing pullups, fat ass with trainer next to me suggested I put my feet on a beach ball to work on my core - if I wanted to train core I would do abs etc...not fuking pullups - pullups are for back - they looked at me like a i was the idiot. ::)

This why I am soooooo glad for the gym I manage!!! WE do not have all the fancy smancy shit we got plates, dumbells, bars, a few seletorized machines and everything else is free weights. We can scream, yell, cuss, and fart and no one says a god damn thing about it. Plus we play the music we want not what the damn soccer mom and old bittys wanna hear. Thank God for our hardcore place, I do my cardio at a corporate gym and the equipment is nice for getting fit but we got what ya need to get BIG!!!

shit, there is a new Gym that just opened around my neighborhood and they were advertising how membership was $9.99 a month or $19.99 a month with no contract. I went in there yesterday to see what the freaking Gym looks like. I was fucking dissapointed. the Dumbells rack goes up to 65Lbs only. I was like, are you fucking kidding me?........and everything else was just machines and threadmills........ it's so hard to find a good fucking Gym these days.....I'm looking for a new Gym. I'm leaving my Gold's gym after 6yrs with them. I'm paying around $42.99/month and they replace the old weights with lots of fucking machines....I can't stand that Gym anymore, meanwhile, I'm working out at my local Community center.....at least they have all the hardcore basics.
