Ego lifters are so dumb!

[Knoxville865]

I see guys doing t-bar rows using every muscle in there body heaving and hoing.They have good biceps and a small narrow back.same with side laterals I see gusy going way above there head using there legs and hips they get a good pump in there traps and non in the side delts.I see young punks benching raisin ther whoel damn body iup I mean co'mon!,Lat pull downs were they are almost touching the ground with there rear delts.barbell curls tun into reverse clan and press's or back bends.squats They lock out and only go 3-4th the way down.triceps were that look more like cable pull overs or decline chest presses.PUll-ups wee they are doing some kind of a circular motion I dont know what the hell that is.Raising there ass off teh seat doing 3/4th leg exstentions.These poor fools need a trainer and to leave ther ego at the door!

I feel ya and I see the same and more every single day from the moment I walk into the gym until I walk out and some days I get annoyed and other days I don't give a shit.  My advice: fuck 'em.  I hope they keep lifting with shit form because they'll never look better and those of us with good form and check the ego at the door can improve and continue to provide them with a bar to attempt to meet.

What's probably even better than seeing shit form is the guys with good form and who lift with dedication but NEVER, EVER work their legs out.  There's one guy who comes in at the same time every day I am there and I swear he did shoulders like 3 times this week.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to detect some homoeroticism in this "guy's" post.

[LatsMcGee]

I like outlifting ego lifters using good form.  It's fun to deflate egos.

Fuck, you should have seen this tool the other day....


Fucking doing 1/4 rep calf raises on the Smith Machine.....he piles on plates to capacity....then proceeds to look around and make sure everyone is watching....it's funny, cause the clueless in the gym think he's doing something impressive. 

Today, he was shadow boxing and shit, between his most draining 50 lb cable rows.....

[Mars]

Too much people focus on weight alone while they could get much better gains if they do less weight with good form.

Most trainers are useless too.

My training partner does those 3/4 leg ext, "good morning" squats, "lat pulldown" tricep pushdowns and the ever so popular "upright row/deadlift/shrug" version of the bentover barbell rows. He never listens if I mention anything.

And most of the others in the gyms.. well lets just say Im waiting for spinal juice to spray everywhere.

[Mars]

let them bask in their illusions. if they knew how to train properly greek statues like us were everywhere.

[webcake]

Am i the only one who just ignores what people in the gym do?  Yeah of course i notice how badly some people train, but screw them, let them learn the hard way.

I hear you bro...but it is too late in the game...abandon ship..ego lifters have taken over..

get an mp3 player with some ear bud headphones..in between sets just stare off into the yonder and focus on you, don't make eye contact with anyone.

also alot of them just don't know the proper routine..when I have "worked in" with a few people and on the few occasions that I have mentioned something about form they are usually appreciative and general ask for more info;

another favorite is the smith machine front shoulder press that turn into more of an incline bench press.

I am in my gym all day and I really take in everything that is happening there and here is my take. I don't think it's actually ego lifting, I honestly just think everyone is stupid. They just honestly bastardize every fucking exercise so bad it becomes another new exercise because they are just too lazy or don't give a fuck to learn how to do it right. The ego part might come into play because god forbid they should actually go up to another adult man and say "hey, i'm not sure that i'm doing this right, could you give me a hand?" That would too much a sign of weakness I guess. And god forbid I, as the owner of the gym, should dare correct anyone in the most polite and subtle way for fear of them taking it as an insult. I'm to the point now where I watch people workout wrong ALLL day and night and don't say a fucking word unless i'm asked for help (which rarely ever happens). I will step in if I see something really life threatening going on though.

Very interesting topic though.

I think thats a huge difference between bb and powerlifting too.  Next to the obvious ones, a powerlifter will seek out others, sometimes driving hours just to have someone teach them how to squat or bench correctly.

  Ego bench pressing earned me a seperated shoulder about 6 years ago...hasn't been right since.

[akers1021]

Haha....  I train people part time and just am at aww of how dumb some noobs are.  Knoxville865 I worked for the RUSH for over 2 years part time in PT, work NFC now.  It amazes me at TN people, my god we must be in the FATTEST part of the southeast.  

[Steve Pulcinella]

First there is "ego lifting" but does this ego thing factor into other forms of recreation? Is there such thing as ego jogging? Ego bowling? Ego gardening?

[alexxx]

What I can't stand is guys who do bench pressing "powerlifting style"? Look at most powerlifters and their chests really suck bad. I think powerlifters should use proper form and none of that ark and suit crap.

a powerlifter isnt concerned with having big pecs though, all he wants to do is take the weight down and press it up, what would be the point of "proper form" if it only reduces the amount he can press?

[The Squadfather]

hey Alexxx what do you think of my old friend Jay's development, pretty good for a powerlifter i'd say.

It's not as impressive.

He looks fantastic. Strong, low bodyfat and good muscle size. Some would consider that ideal.

yep, one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet as well, squatted 765 and pulled 695 at 165 at his best.
