Why do people workout?

[The Shadow]

Yeah, because the ones that really want to improve rarely asks for programs. They learn the shit on their own.

I do ask them a LOT of questions to make sure they are getting the basics down.

Only questions i've ever gotten is "why do you eat straight after your workout" and "what is that you are eating"

 

[The Shadow]

I ask things like:

Why is it difficult to burn fat while eating a high-carb diet?

Why do you not do endless reps for muscle growth


etc.

Just to correct peoples form and such?

People don't want to be bothered. If they care about using proper form, they'll take the initiative to find out themselves. If they don't have that initiative, trying to show them the right way will not do any good.

i know, but i think its only the the slackers and assholes that are that way. The people that are dedicated they want as much information and advice as they can hold. And then find out how to make it work best for them.

This is true. The trick is to carry it off without seeming arrogant, which can be tough to do.
