Scary stuff at the gym

[tuc biscuit]

Amount of people doing cardio=45

Amount of people in the freeweights area=1 (me)


The message that weights aren't evil still hasn't reached this country yet.


Also after 5 years of lifting I have just worked out how to make progress on my chest........go me.

 

[westsnoop]

So what did you figure out about chest training?

 

[tuc biscuit]

to pre-exhaust triceps first and to not go to lock-out on my pressing movements seems to be doing the trick for me at the minute

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

maybe you just stink, and that's why everyone doesn't wanna be near you

 

[GoldenDelicious]

dont see why youre complaining, id love to have the whole deal to myself...do you get to pick the music too?

 

[jenscats5]

Yeah, that'd be great to have the weight area to myself!

Funny tho, the other day at work the new people were talking about working out, etc & asking me ?? cuz they "heard" I know a lot about it. Anyway, a lady was saying she didn't want to get big from lifting weights.....I asked her if I looked big & she said "No" then I told her what I lifted........misconceptions just won't die....

 

[Imnotdutch]

It took you all that time to figure out to pre-exhaust lol. Oh well now you know what to do.

BTW I wish I had this problem at my gym........shit when I'm benching people walk into the bar and all sorts.

I really hope the message about tooth paste not being bad reaches you guys first

Ive trained in London- LA Fitness in Piccadilly & it was pretty sad. No rack for DBs or barbells - theyre on the floor & a Smith Machine- they call a squat rack- in a tiny 10x10 room The cardio area was huge & they had a pool...but weight-training is really behind what we have in the US from my experience anyway.

so far at my new gym I have seen about 3 people doing legs and few of them had no idea what they were doin, like one guy tryin to do squats on the standing calf raise machine

the cardio equipment is always taken, as a matter of fact theres still people that have no idea what they are doing on that thing either. saw a woman who was just standing on one pedal and doing a little dance or something of that sort

i'm no expert either but some of these guys have completly no idea what the hell they are doing, least they can do is watch what others do and do the same thing

how do you pre-exhaust your tris?

what i find strange is that on my chest day, i barely feel it in my chest but my chest pumps up quite well. kinda sucks that it goes away

i even get a great chest pump from close grip bench. so anyway, how do you pre-exhaust the tris?

As a side note I dropped a dumbbell on my thumb today whilst racking it. I'm just trying to think up a story that'll turn my little bruise into a serious war wound that will impress ladies and scare the shit outta everybody on here........

Suggestions welcome........

consider yourself lucky. at my gym there are always 10-20 people in the free weights area and few, if any, do anything but get in my way.

Crak..do a bunch of pushdowns and skull crushers before chest exercise. This should fatique the triceps
