Some classic stuff in this thread and yes I can relate. When I started training in my late teens I would get the occassional gym trainer that would give unsolicited advice, but once I was lightyears ahead of all the trainers all that "advice" stopped. Today I'll get an old burnt about once a year that randomly approaches me and talks my ear off about training and how he "used to do" this or that. Other than that I'm left alone, but I'll talk to anyone.
