Im not going to get "engaged" even after 8 years spent with the same woman.


Marriage = stupidity. Especially if you didnt spend enough time with her before.

i heard one personal trainer bitch telling housewifes at my gym to avoid doing lat pulldowns behind the neck instead of to the chest because thats an excersize for bodybuilders who inject themselves ::) heard the same whore tell beginners not to do short roms because it makes to muscles short too. ::)

Any advice from someone less jacked than me...

I am not even going to consider any advice unless the person is in better shape than me. I don't care if you are a "certified trainer", If you aren't in as good a shape as me I don't want to hear it.

I've never had someone offer me advice.  However I do see fat guys that like to give advice to the little skinny kids about benching technique when they are working out with 135 lbs.

Just yesterday there was this very sloppy fat black guy - Not powerlifter fat, I'm talking loose fat, like a guy that was 500 for a long time and now weighs 300.  So he is telling the kid he is spotting not to touch the bar to his chest when doing bench press because it makes the heart skip a beat.

any pimple faced "PT" who never lifted weights in his whole life and got a bullshit (2 day long) personal training certificate or only studied kinesiology at school as an "experience".

They dont even know how to use machines, weights or program the computers on cardio equipments, yet are suposed to give advices to customers?

"You don't need to train your forearms!"

I do. Then one day I overhear one guy commenting to his training partner/bum buddy that "he sure does have a pair of forearms...probably has his mother to thank for those though" (ie:genetics) to which I just sit down and continue training my FOREARMS like I've been doing the whole time they've been there.
They just couldn't connect the dots  :-\

I'm probably one of the onyly guys at my gym that do direct forearm work. Helps me in every single lift, especially dumbbell presses and bent-over rows.
LMAO at people that need the weights given to them by a spotter....if you can't lift them up yourself then you're too weak for those weights.

Ronnie Coleman has the db's handed to him for shoulder presses in COR, is he to weak for them?

hahaha, exactly, so according to this clown a guy can do 8-10 full range reps with a pair of 130's on shoulder presses and is weak because he didn't want to waste energy kicking them up into place. ::)

So it's a good idea to be using weights which you can't properly handle yourself?

right.. the only thing that sucks is if you workout by yourself, its hard asking a stranger to lift up the 120s so you can press them
