So it isnt a myth....

It truly is my favorite thing in the gym. I will generally openly laugh at them. They coincidentally never have a physique either.

Yeah bro. That's the most amazing thing to me. I used to manage gyms for years. It always amazed me that people will do the same thing year and year out with no results. They will keep doing it and tell everyone else that they are training wrong...

I notice fads in my gym. Some dumbass will wo some wild swinging movements with weight at the end and sure enough every newbie in the gym is trying it out. Its fun to watch in between sets.

HA!

My personaly favorite is the one guy how follows you around, and does every excersise you do, with the same weight. Like you do 8-10 perfectly strict slow reps, and this dude will come around and do 1-3 wild ass sloppy swinging reps of the same weight. Then he looks at you when he's done, with a look like he's hard. Keep in mind that this is the same guy how wears Zubaz pants and a tank top and is like 175lbs and 20%bf. Dumbell curls seem to be this guys favorite movement. Anyone know this guy?

We have a guy that when doing incline bench, arches his back and butt up so high that he is now doing a flat bench press, and can't figure out why his upper chest won't develop??? People are insane.

Oh yeah, this guy also wears sandals in the summer and lifts barefoot, and wears a fanny pack. Whats in those fanny packs anyway?

There is a kid who puts 4 plates on the bar at my gym. He has on workout pants and uses Knee wraps. Right there you know he is stupid. The pants negate the knee wraps.
Well he takes about ten minutes between sets.
When he does a set he does the 3 inch squat as previously mentioned.
We all place bets as to how far he will go. He is the laughing stock of the gym and he has no idea.
I can just hear him now "my legs will not grow and I squat 405"

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BITCH SLAP THESE PEOPLE!!!

i know a lot of soccer players girls and guys that do the 3 inch lift thing. I remember reading an article about it somewhere too. I've never heard anyone use a towel but i've seen people use a 4 inch box or board. I didn't think that was real until i saw it posted on abcbodybuilding. Never tried it but it looks odd. board press

I actually feel bad when i see out of shape people doing excersizes that have no place in what they really want to achieve but at the same time i have yet to approach someone in the gym and offer advice because cause i too am still learning and i just stay focused.... yeah it's real and the sad thing is is i don't see alot of freely trainers offering advise and i sometimes understand but it's just sad.

 

[brandonp005]

that ain't as bad as the dopes in my gym who do the 3 inch bench presses. lol

i always fuck with them by asking if that's some sort of new training technique from mens health or something...


lol

i have heard of this....most put a big board on their chest, so they can only bring it down about 6 inches and then back up.......supposed to help their explosion....that way when they do the full range it is supposed to help their muscles react faster giving them better explosion off their chest


never tried it, but I have seen it done by many guys who can bench over 350 the correct way
