Bad Advice

[ruggermu]

I've gotten bad advice in the gym before, no big deal but this was ridiculous. It wasn't just the advice dude was an ass hole about it. I was doing power shrugs when dude comes up and slaps me on the back, and says that I'll never grow if I don't quit cheating. What I'll never grow? I'm no monster but I was fucking bigger then him, and quit cheating? Like I said I was doing power shrugs. I have so many things I wish I would have said to the guy but when it happened all I could do was laugh.

If you let the ignorance of others get to you, you are going to be constantly disappointed in life.

I've come to the conclusion that people are so eager to "share" information in the gym because deep down inside they don't have any confidence in what they are talking about and are merely just repeating what they read or someone else told them. If they get you to buy in or believe that they do it sort of props them up some. If you look around, this isn't so uncommon in life. However, it makes me really hesitant to ever offer unsolicited advice in the gym.

true
i've been kinda looking for a trainign partner, but it seems all most wanna do is give crappy advice and try to pick up on the cardio bunnies

Oh I'm just passing it on I don't let it get to me to bad. I visit the heavy bag after I lift everyday so I leave all that type of stuff there.

I hear ya, a good training partner is hard to find!

I fully expect disapproving stares and shaking heads when I try power shrugs, push presses et al at my Bally's.

I've already had some dirty looks from the beautiful people when I was a bit noisy with my BB rows.

Lucky you weren't doing power cleans. He'd probably have thought youi were doing some kind of weird cheat reverse curl.

people usually just say stupid things to me or mostly just ask me questions how to get big... i love seeing people do exercises totally wrong.

Those tend to get me some weird looks as well

Guys that are smaller then me do that all the time at the gym say you need to quit cheting or you will never grow. I said back you need to cheat so you can grow.
