ok- my gym's morons are the PT's:
so we get a free PT session with membership (i just moved from nor cal to so cal) and i figured.. ok ill take them up on the freebie.. the PT found me on a thursday and asked me to "do legs with him" the next day... i told him i just did them the day before... monday was better... so monday comes... and first he's like "go do 1/2hr. of cardio first and ill find you when im ready"...??? ok..wtf.. so i do a light jog.. i never do cardio first, let alone at all on leg day, but fine, ill play his game... he then finds me and takes me over to the squat machine and im still thinking WTF... he sets it at some low ass weight and tells me to do 30 reps (WTF) and i do one rep, set it down, tripple the weight and bang out 30.. then he has me do a 20, a 10, and then another 20... not the usual heavy lower reps that im used to.. oh well... next he has me do hack squats.. 3 sets 2plates/side 10 reps (i did extra...) next leg press... 3 plates 3*10reps (did extra again)... then he tells me "ok all done"... WTF!?!? thats it? ok so he sits me down for an evaluation.. i tell him ive gained roughly 10lbs a year lifting (im an ecto.. but i eat right, train hard [KILL THAT SHIT]) started out a pathetic 108 lbs at age 22 and have gotten up to 148.. im very small boned.. so id say im on the right track.. this is the kicker.. he tells me "well if you do 2 PT sessions a week" for like $500+ bucks a month.. he guarantees me i'll be 185, 8%bf in one year... now im a solid 148... probably 10-11%bf... i know this fool is full of shit just to sell me the PT sessions... i eat a good 4-5000K for the last 2 years, and tell him that and then walk out... theres no way in hell im gonna gain 40 lean pounds in a year, naturaly... especialy with the type of workout they have me on

Ouch, that hurts...
BTW: Moron story:
Every single day I train, while I am in the squat rack, this guy (probably around 200lbs, with gut, a little fat by large arms and chest) comes over to me and says:
"Dude, u still doing that program (referring to compound lift 5x5ish lifting style program).
Me: "Yeah dude, its great."
He's like: "But isn't it hard?"
"Yeah, but isn't that the point?"
He is only one example of the 1000 idiots who come to me everyday trying to dissuade me (My gym is pretty commercial, here in Brazil things are a little different to US)
On the flipside however, the guy who looks over my gymn was a guy who broke 185 south american records plus dominated the south american circuit back in the 80's. His name is Andre Doria, look him up if you have a time. So everytime he keeps telling me: Focus on your training, not on these morons who try and dissuade you. He is really a great trainer and a great guy, with loads of experience who he generously and proudly shares to those who wish to learn (which are very few in the gym I go to, so basically he only looks over ppl making sure they are not doing some bizarre, dangerous exercise like the reverse-one-legged-lying-sommersault-bicep-curl)
Moron story 2:
One day this buff, solid guy comes into the gym and asks a guy to teach him how to DL. So the guy teaches him the technique, and the learner loads a 20kg with 40 extra kg, totaling 60kg. This guy was well on his 90-100kg more or less. So he goes and DLs for 5 sets of 6 and then runs to the bathroom puking. They had to call the Gym's Doctors.
LOL
Poor guy.
Today, Andre is retired.
He is an IPF Referee in Brazil:

Cheers.
On the Fashion side: A&F Sucks. Most friends love that crap and think its really cool and like, makes you look as if you travel abroad alot (since u cannot get it in brazil)
I prefer the traditional, italian brands (E.A.) etc + some new shit (Diesel, 7).
Sorry if u think those are gay, tough luck. I really feel that they are quality wear which never go out of fashion, since they are not "trendy new look yay". Plus, they last 4 ever and make me look very nice

I had a winner tonight, actually two of them - I'm in the middle of a set of standing curls when a guy taps me on the shoulder to ask me if I'm using a bench 6 feet away from me.
second one was Mr Helpful who decided it would be great to bestow his training wisdom on me IN THE MIDDLE OF A SET of deads. Thanks pops.

Nothing says douchebag more than a guy using the Buttblaster machine. Just doesn't look right to be in that position screaming out reps.
One guy brings his own swiss ball into the gym. And he gets all defensive if anyone goes near it. (He's asking for it to get popped) Carries it over his head when he walks in the door like he's carrying a beach ball. I'm gonna ask him to build me a sandcastle next time.
