So as I lay here trying to get to sleep Im thinking back to earlier while training an athlete to some of the nonsense I see around me. And it makes me realize I really need to get my own place....again. permanently.
So heres a short list to compile part 1 of a series.
Guys wrapping a towel around the smith machine bar to do what actually amounts to 105lbs for half reps.
Old bros setting up on a bench for 20 minutes only to apparently give up and walk away without touching the bar
Crazy lady with clown caked on makeup wearing what appeared to be leggins, under cutoff shorts of some sort, a vest?, a zip up hoodies, and a flower in her hair.
Giant beats head phones. Only slightly hypocritical of me since mine came with my phone. Earbuds are whatever but the full headphones are overkill.
Curls in the squat rack...yea yea this one is a widespread epidemic but it holds true.
On a related note- deadlifts in the squat rack. Seriously...you dont need the damn rack for that shit.
Lifting in your jeans and work boots. When did high end gyms become prisons or a lumber yard? Course if Im outside flipping tires in the mud then this is a different story.
Shitty bars and screw on bolts. The damn thing shouldn't bounce with 4 plates on it.
Kettlebells that only go to 20. Thats planet fatness standards right there.
Bros talking training for sports and the conversation ultimately will only include bench, curls, and abs. Or the awesome "well im gonna do chest and tris this day....and back and bi's this day...."Then theres the ultimate "well I read in muscle and fitness that....."
have you ever played a sport?
Well thats it for now. Im going to bed.
