This Girl Tonight...

[joshp]

i don't go to the gym to pick-up chicks in it though..

Yeah but she doesn't know that.

 

[Gym_Maniac]

has she heard of 20-rep squat or breathing squat??

 

[MyK]

What??? you don't take paypal?? I personally don't like to bother people even after they're through a tough set for a minute or so anyhow. If you do, all you're gonna get is a hand held out to tell you to give them a minute to catch their breath anyhow, or they'll just blurt out something unable to be put together as a sentence anyhow.

I agree anyhow!

at the gym came up to me midset, i was squinting and grinding trying to get the last few reps up, and she taps me.. i don't move, fight another rep up.. she taps me again.. i say "hold on" and i finish my final rep up.. i take my head phones off and she goes:

"i've been personal trained here and you're not doing that excercise right."

I looked at her, and with a smile, laughing hysterically inside, i wanted to hear her explanation. She tells me that "if you stop in the middle of the set (I took a few breaths for each of the last three reps before starting them) you're allowing oxygen in your muscles and you won't grow. what you need to do is lower the weight and have a fluid motion throughout the set."

She walked away, I was in shock, and that was that.

Now i agree that I probably shouldnt be taking as long as I did, especially on the last two, but it was freaking tough. Is that really a negative and is anything this whore said true?

you should of told that bitch off! I would be embarrassed if I would of let her walk away from me with out crying, after talking to me like that

I just got back from the gym, I went early this morning with all the senior gentleman. anyway, the exercises they make up range from hilarious to dangerous. I almost feel like I should intervene sometimes and tell them that there gonna hurt themselves, but if the gyms owner doesnt care, why should I, I mean I dont want to be "that guy".!!!

 

[BritChick]

If anyone tapped me when I was squatting I would tell them to fuck off!!!!

My sentiments EXACTLY, um... if she was worried about you taking breathers why the fuck was she interupting you when you were lifting???!

 

[The Monkey Man]

I would have told her, I was on a bulk, and had let my conditioning drop
to lower my overall metabolism, and thats why I was a little winded
when performing the set...

If I wanted to come into the gym and just go through the motions of performing
perfect "FLUID" repetitions, I probably wouldn't come at all...

I train with anger and hate, and if thats means its ugly, then so be it...

You have managed to piss me off...

Thanks for the motivation...

FUCK YOU and GOOD DAY!

This is why I workout at home.
It's hard enough without a busy body nosing in.

If I need your help i'll ask for it, bitch?

BUT On the other hand,
if she's built like Arnold, and can crush your head with her thighs,
I'd have to concede she may have a point and ask her to demonstrate

She doesn't know what the Hell she is talking about. Oxygen is entering your muscles all day long. Blood carries oxygen. I don't care if you're doing a 3RM. There is still oxygen going into your muscles. It may not be sufficient to power the action at hand, but it is still there.

I was thinking the exact same thing.


While through my NASM training, it actually specifies to NOT approach anyone, client or not, on making suggestions like this.

This story reminds me of when "Terry the personal trainer" walked over to me and asked me to not "slam the weights." Just ignore it, its never gonna go away anyway.

The tapping on the shoulder thing though, yeah you cant let that slide. Kinda missed the opportunity already, but knowing myself, Id approach her during her workouts and make history repeat itself. If shes doing light weight, then just tell her that it was unprofessional to do what she did to you.

OR you can do what everyone said, but you wont.

Whaaat?...those calves aren't natural?

some kid whose my age was laughing because he knows how interested i am in weight lifting and what not. after she walked off, he continued to laugh, and asked me "was she right" and I said "absolutely not."

i hadn't seen her before, i'm guessing she's knew or she comes at different times than i do. shes just an idiot, nothing else to say about that.

i'd be foolish to say i don't like the effects it has on the women outside of the gym, but inside its a completely different story.

sadly, many people don't feel the same way and when there doing the "beach muscle routines" they'll be doing some bicep curls while winking at the young lady on the abductor and adductor machines.
