so i'm taking this bodybuilding class...

[audiophyle]

I had an extra elective credit to fill in this semester so I decided to use it on a bodybuilding class. I've been pretty excited about this class, I thought maybe I could finally get some hands on from someone who can show me proper form etc etc. Today I walked in to the class to find a bunch of overweight people. I pretty much expected it considering 90% of the population is overweight. But the shitty thing was that the coach was overweight and out of shape too!! needless to say, I was pretty dissappointed from the start. turns out, this is going to be more of an aerobics class than a bodybuilding class. Lots of jogging, pushups, and cardio crap for half the class (1 hour) and weight training for the other hour. She claims she is going to show us proper form on a few "key lifts" throughout the semester. She didnt mention which lifts she was going to show us, but lets put it this way, when she gave us a tour of the "gym", there was about 30 treadmills, 3 flat benches, one squat rack, and no space for deadlifts!!! WTF!! I'd guestimate that there was around 1000-1500 lbs total weight in that entire gym. I'm fucking pissed.

In addition to all of this, she says she wants to approve all of our workouts before we can use them... and judging by her physique, i doubt a 5x5 is going to go over very well.

On the other hand though, if i stay in the class, i'll get to be the big guy in the gym for once lmao

sorry, just needed to vent.

Drop the class quickly... and change to something new before ADD/DROP is over.

ouch bro, that sounds like u got the shaft. If i were you id try to get her to let you lift while they all run, and then just sit there n laugh while they lift

I took a weightlifting class when i was in Junior College and it was a good start for me. I got a chance to learn from some top major DI coaches. Either way, you gain a college credit and you get a cardio hour and possibly a couple workouts out of the deal. Not bad.

A bunch of overweight people ... Hilarious.

That sucks man. Do what Kachok said though. See if you can lift while everyone else runs.

Just take the A and the class with a grain of salt.

same thing when I was in college,,,, I just put my headphones on and did my own thing,,,, lol... The teacher would give us routines that were a fucking joke. I just ignored them and did my workout. His retarded ass did not even notice or he just didn't care. Either way I got an A and a credit for working out,,, lol..

 

[PoyeBoy]

lol, thats harsh dude, my friend had a class like that a few years ago, he would bring his shake that included protien/creatine to class and the teacher got mad at him becasue she said "he was destroying himself by taking creatine", needless to say he dropped that class after the first day.

I'm going back for a second day because I get a free body fat test and then if I can't convince her to let me lift I'm dropping the class and signing up for underwater basket weaving... i figure I'll get a better workout
Howcome they never have powerlifting classes in college??
