Reracking weights
hmm it seems a paradox people go to the gym to workout and burn calories. Yet picking up the weight and walking back with it is too much, but when they lay down and move the weight it is okay. Last time I checked walking with weights burn calories, and made people stronger. I guess only in strongman they teach you how to turn around and bring the weight back......

Something that always gives me a good chuckle are those people who must park within fifty feet of the front door, kind of ironic. One day I drove into the parking lot while a vulture was circling for a close parking spot, I parked in BFE and as I walked through the door he came around for another lap.
I remember this one guy telling my buddy and I how to get a huge back. He was about 165 and we were 265 and 225 at the time...hah...pissed us off enough for a serious workout.

I think that's the KEY b fold...just use this dumb shit as FUEL...
B Fold, my buddy and I had a similar experience the other day. He and are are the two biggest, and strongest guys in our yuppie gym, no great feat. This older guy, mid 40's at least, with a gut and pipe cleaner arms, comes up and tell us that we're doing the preacher curls wrong. How so, we ask. He then tells us that you are not supposed to use a full range of motion and go all the way to the bottom, it puts you at risk for an injury. He then brags that he used to use 95lb dumbells for curls on the preacher, and one day he tried to go all the way down and tore a tendon. Gee, I can't figure out why?
If I wanna look like him, maybe I'll try his advice. But until then, I think I'll continue to do it my way.
idiot..........

I think every gym has a "coach" - somebody that has NO biz giving pointers. Hasn't happened to me in a long time but I HATE that...heck, I dont even give pointers unless asked to. just doin my thang...

yeah, those "coaches" can be good sometimes, if they are giving constructive criticism, that can actually help, not something that they just say to make them seem better.. For example, when im deadlifting, i always have problems rolling my hips through at the end, so usually if someone like a "coach" is watching, he'll yell at me to roll my hips, and in that case it helps. But if it is something about moving my feet in in my squat stance because its better to squat to close, than i dont want to hear it.
