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.

Yeah, they had a class like that back at IU -- I took it but never showed up since I was on the track team and the teacher was one of the assistant football coaches... basically I got an A.

That sounds like it will be a frustrating class to say the least... it's bad enough to watch someone with bad form, let alone to have someone with bad form TELL you how to do it and then see EVERYONE doing it with bad form...

Man... it sounds like an episode out of the twlight zone.

C-ditty
