I dont really mind women lookin at me train. The problem lies if a male watches you train. Then we have a problem.

Or if you sit around watching other men train... that's an even bigger problem.

How long should it take to do squats anyway?

I guess it takes me less than 15 minutes... of course, my squat isn't that good... my form sucks and I just can't seem to get it to be comfortable... So I just use the hack squat and this neat ass Hammer machine we have now...

Just wondering...

Im such a pussy when it comes to squatting i dont even do them at my gym because i dont wanna disrespect the rack with my light ass weights. I used to go heavy but once i was doin 405 for reps and i broke a vert. My 2nd thorasic. This was summer 2004. Since then i dont go any higher than 3 plates. So i only use leg press and hack squat machine.

Honestly, I did four sets, two front squats, two single leg press, hamstring curls superset with stiff deads all before he finished.  I know because he took the rack so I improvised one and I went to do back extensions (right by the rack) when he finished.

Here's a classic... some sorry lookin 40 year old poindexter in his socks, on a balancing ball, doing squats (with no weight) on one leg, IN THE POWER RACK cause he wants the rails to hang on to. He looked like the damn karate kid doing tai chi...;D  Saw that last week...

Injuries happen to the best of us.....I feel your pain.  Although, remember, on Getbig claiming injury equates to "lying pussy who hasn't ever done shit".

The ultimate and I have to repeat this over and over.  I was on my last set of squats.  I have the knee wraps on, the belt on tight, I have 4 1/2 plates a side and mid set some fuckhead waltzs over and asks how many sets I have left.  I immediatly racked the weight because this dickhead fuckked up my set.  It took me 5 mintues to prep for it and a couple reps in he kills my concentration.  What an asshole. I was within a second of smacking this fool but based on the look on my face he quickly beelined to the change room and left.

I've had plenty of injuries and trust me, it ain't worth the risk just for that extra plate on the bar....heart and mind are willing, but the body can't follow no mo.   You've lifted the big weights before, sucks you can't do easily now, but nothin changes what you already did.

i agree, no reason to mess yourself up, if you're healthy go for it, if not just be smart and back off.

I have two guys at my gym that bother me.  They both seem like mid 40's, DIVORCED, sad little men.  One guys must spend ALL day in the gym 5days a week.  He's there before I get in at 10:30 and still on the floor when I leave at 1:30.  SPends most of his time talking...but he does this really weird thing...he goes to the "dip" stand.  I dont know whats its called, but you can dip with it or turn around put your weight on your elbos and do knee raises.  Whatever its called he goes in, stands straight up, puts all his weight on elbows and squeezes every muscle in his body for like 30 seconds.  It kinda looks like he's taking a crap...Im sure its a mass builder...Im just not sure what where it adds the mass.
But
his
buddy...
This fookin guy, we call him Mr. Ocular, partly from his bulging eyes and partly from the amount of staring (at anything with tits) that he does.  He loves to "hunt" down the rare and elusive female gym member by catching her walking through the door, finding out what machine she's going to use and then using the one right next to her.  Then he stares at them untill he can get their attention whereby he acts they are initiating the conversation!
Its priceless...also he wears a weight belt for everything...including the treadmill.

Youre right. Im not messing with it. I can care less when i get those looks like "that big guy is doing the same as the little guy" But i can care less.
And i still go heavy on hack squats and leg press macine. Deep too. But im sure everyone has that one movement they could go heavy on but have a mental fear of it.

  I also hate the "expert"

This guy is usually fat and out of shape or skinny as a rail...They insist on "HELPING" you with your form or choice of exercise ...whether you want them to or not.

I'm especially sick of the "Do you play football"? comment.  WTF.  Do I have to play football to be in shape?

Well Squadfather now you know people don't like this.In the future you should have a small towel with you and wipe down the bench when done.If you care to be respectful to your fellow gym rats.
