Does this make you mad....

[finabomber]

when you got the headphones on, working your ass off in the gym, sweating your ass off and all the sudden this small turd of a guy comes over to tell you that your technique is wrong...he tried to critique me on the way i do upright rows......i just laughed..yes laughed and told him to come back when he can compete. here he was using the bar and 10's on each side and i had 180 on mine...what would u guys say in this situation, just caught me off guard cuz this guy is like 150lbs....??

Yes. Unless I'm about to hurt myself or others, keep your fucking opinions to yourself. Dumbass.

WHAT???? Just cause I'm a girl you think you know more than me? HUH????

 

[Code]

Nope.
I think any chance I get to evaluate my form is a good thing.

But if it's someone telling me I'm going too low on my squats, then it bothers me, yes.

 

[Haz]

Yeah, I hate that. I was doing barbell rows once, (yates style with an underhand grip), when some scrawny trainer came over and said I was doing them wrong. I told him I knew what I was doing, and not to worry.

So there must be people in your gym whose opinion you respect...instead of a bunch of these ------> like my gym.

lucky you

Any variation of what you did is just fine.

My gym has mostly massive guys. I'm 5'5", 185 pounds.

I'll listen to any advice from the big boyz.
I just don't listen to the guys here, because everyone is 220 at 2% bf. And no one owns a digital camera.

 

[danielson]

it depends......if what they have to say o true then i begrudglily appreciate it

but i;ve had just about everyone in the gym harangue me about not using a belt while squatting, about the fact that my squat is more of a plifter squat than a BB one, ipve ben trying ut a new exercise (obviously horribl form) and had a 20 minute lecture on it....and shown REALLY basic exercises

but i;ve had great advice on form etc....which has helped

Wish I had one. Are there any places like Kinkos or something that have scanners? Doesn't Wal-Mart have a picture dealy where you can save stuff on disk? If I did that, I could download it onto the comp. here at work and then shoot it over to someone who knew how to post them up. Actually, I'm pretty sure that Wal-Mart does do that, now that I think about it. Cool! I may be posting pics sooner than I thought.

If you use kodak film processing, they give you the option of putting them on a cd.

Fuck yeah. I have some pics that I like already too. I may see what my options are for those.

If you look pissed off enough when between sets and don't talk to anyone - they will get the point and leave you alone. It saves me a lot of time having to answer newbie questions and talk to half-assed recreational weight lifters about how they can get to my level. I don't have time for that.

 

[Mysterio]

Yes. Unless I'm about to hurt myself or others, keep your fucking opinions to yourself. Dumbass.

Hey there women take it easy!

 

[manny78]

I had one the other day. He basically told me I was doing my reps too slow, cause in order to develop your muscles quickly you had to go pretty fast. Going slow was for cutting purpose.....lol

 

[Fitnes1]

finabomber - yes, I hate this.

What I usually do is ask them how long they've been working out. When they reply, I say, well, I fitness compete and this technique has worked for me for over four years, so I don't think I'll be taking your advice over what works for me. Sorry! Later!

They just usually look, although I don't have this happen to me very often. Maybe it happens w/ guys more, you think?

Sounds like this kid doesn't know what he's doing.

My style right here, I've been told I can be very intimidating in the gym. I love it!

 

[finabomber]

its just weird because i have seen this kid like maybe two other times in the gym and he has asked me every time i see him what he should do for each body part and now he is trying to critique me!! go away scrawny ass..........

hahahaha I hate that. I used to be one of those guys. Now I am too into my own thing to make comments on someone elses.

I laugh though when I see someone doing somthing wrong... I did see this guy doing lat pull downs a few moths ago and some little weasel told him how to do it and he was nice to the kid.. but as soon as the kid walked away he started making fun of the kid for being small. After that.. I just prayed the guy would injure himself doing those...
