What's with all these guys in the gym who do nothing but talk about training but never actually train? It reminds me of all the experts on getbig who do nothing but talk about bodybuilding and drugs for hours on end and then you see a pic and they look like dog shit. Year after year the same guys in the gym and they always look the same. I can't believe the amount of grown men I still see doing cable crossover presses or olymic barbell curls in the power rack with under 95 lbs.
Well, couple of points which I want to explain to you: First of all, everybody hate to get advice because who knows anything better than man himself? To benefit anything from the advise, you would have to admit that you are not perfect, and that rules out that possibility. So you hate when some on gives you advice. And it makes no difference who they are, so if Kai Greene comes to you and try to share his knowledge with you, you think the picture where he is humping that grape fruit and do not listen. Why it is like this? Because you need to be smart enough to see your own flaws, and only few of us is smart enough. I am an old geezer looking like shit, and I use cable crossovers and barbell curls in my training. I use them because I benefit to them, because I do it right. For example, I do cable crossovers at the end of my chest training to get as much blood in my pecks as I could. It is working fine, because I use moderate weight and correct range of motion. When I look young guys doing it, they use as much load than they can move, pressing it with all they got, but this isn't the point of this exercise. If you want to do presses, do dips or bench presses, not cable crossovers. What comes to barbell curls, it is last exercise when I am training my biceps, and because I have done plenty of sets before that, I use moderate weight to do it right. Point of this is to get your bicep do to work without any help of gravity or your other muscles. I don't take running start to my biceps curls like I see young guys do, I don't twist forward and backward while doing curls, I stand straight and let the muscle do the lifting. It is easy to lift your own weight by barbell curls if you don't mind how to do it, but how many of you guys do it while your back is resting against a column, so you can't use momentum of your body to help? There has been contest on our gym where they do just that, and it is amazing how little you can lift that way. So while you are laughing at that old guy behind your hairy palm, he is thinking how odd it is when young guys try to exercise without any knowledge how to do it.
