Board Press Rant

[Nonerz]

my favorite questiong regarding board presses was the day some fool came up and asked it was to "hit your inner pecs?" VDOP just rolled his eyes....and said....yeah man....that's what the boards are for.

That's funny!

PL's are probably the most friendly, instructive & just plain old really damn nice people that I've ever come across in a gym.

I just said the same thing last week. And, they are always having FUN doing their training. They're not just going through the movements, but they're enjoying the sport. They're so much more down to earth than most of the other's in the gym.

Last week I met a couple of new guys who started training at the gym about 2 months ago with the usual PL crew. The older guy (mid 50's) was an absolute sweetheart, we talked inbetween sets and told me anytime he's there he'd like to help me. Friday nights are usually dead in my gym except for the PL guys so I'm hoping to catch up with the old guy and learn a thing or two tonight.

Hey, did you notice Friday that when there are more than 2 people doing the same exercise, no one came up and made any off color comments?!?

Also, maybe because even superwife was handling more weight than the "Fluff boys" where we lift.

Good job to you and Backlash both for the effort you put out, and not being afraid of throwing more and more weight on the bar!

The other trainers in the gym used to look at me funny...especially how I was training the athletes. Strange...ALL my athletes are gaining in size, strength, and losing body fat. They are getting better at their own sport too...

I let the other trainers use the bands on different exercises for themselves...they fell in love.

I'm the biggest/strongest in there...and one of the leanest. Maybe what I am doing is working...lol.

VDOP reminded me this weekend of his favorite "stupid question" story.

we were doing band resisted (RESISTED, not assisted!!!) bench, and one of the "fluff" boys came up and asked....."are those bands so that you can just let go when you get tired?" VDOP's reaction...."yeah man....wanna try it?"

LOL. just let go, it will be over quicker that way. hehehe.

You're right, they left us alone at your gym! We need a gym like that here... though that guy did make some dumb comments to backlash when he had the shirt on (and yes, he has some great marks in his armpits...).

Thanks again for all your help and support this weekend, red-evil and VDOP!
