What happened to the days when..
« on: November 28, 2008, 08:53:15 AM »
everyone just went the gym and did the heaviest weights they could reasonably do? Nowadays we have these personal trainers trying to make it out like they have the exact scientific formula for getting big and that if you just do the old fashioned way (actually putting some effort into it yourself) then you will end up with less gains.
Are these guys just trying to create a market for something useless because they couldn't handle the real job market or am i wrong here?

yes, she needs to get a chimpanzee to stand by her with a microphone for the full effect

most personal trainers dont know where they talk about. at our gym the only one who is worth listening to is the owner.

true

case in point, i'm certified and i don't know a fucking thing

Don't get me wrong, I can get a trainer's job due to my handsomeness alone

He looks quite pleased with himself.

Haha maybe he's picturing himself holding on to his imaginary boyfriend in the doggy position.

LOL at Show's pics ;D

everyone just went the gym and did the heaviest weights they could reasonably do? Nowadays we have these personal trainers trying to make it out like they have the exact scientific formula for getting big and that if you just do the old fashioned way (actually putting some effort into it yourself) then you will end up with less gains.
Are these guys just trying to create a market for something useless because they couldn't handle the real job market or am i wrong here?

Getting them in shape would be bad business in terms of retaining customers. The level of intensity in most gyms i've seen recently approaches that of a library.

Why do schmoes even pay for personal training..

Just the equivalent of just flushing your $$$ down the toilet..

One guy I see in the gym w/ a personal trainer, always has this look on his face, non-motivated, and the "why am i here" face.

Yet he puts down hundreds of dollars per week and he still looks like shit :(
