The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Apparently it crashed their site lol. They have some decent deals on equipment

 

Thank god the holidays are done for a month lol. Back to weight loss and gains. Morning ,you degenerates

 

That’s not how this works

 

What tats did the chick have?

 

Lmaooo you’re not wrong. I’m so ready to get to done losing weight so I can bulk and get gains

 

I was too traumatized by seeing a chick squat in fishnets to see any tattoos she may have had LOL.

There are some characters at my gym I’ll tell yea.

 

Maybe the Wal-Mart people decided to make it a field trip..

 

Hahahaha

 

Made the switch last week to a new gym. Was tired of being harrassed by the head trainer at the last gym. Even through civil conversations with him, it did not get better. I even took it to management and we talked and settled, and yet it didn't get better. Again, I brought it to the owner of the gyms attention, sat down with her and spoke to her for over 30 minutes about him. 6 other gym employees came forth with similar issues and wrote LETTERs to the owner about their trainer. Alas, weeks go by nothing is done. Bye. Thanks for caring to improve your gym. 5 of us has left the gym and several more are on their way out. That is a good business model.

 

WTF is with that?

Was he just pissy you looked like you do without paying him?

 

That sucks for sure. I found myself in a similar situation 7-8 years ago. The owner was a total dick. He yelled at us every day for something or another. I can still hear him "stop bumping the bumper plates!" haha. That was the one and only gym in our little town, so we built out own gym and gave him the middle finger. Still don't understand the idea of being a dick to paying customers.

 

What were the trainers saying to you that made you so uncomfortable?

 

Getting back into lifting after battling injuries due to ego lifting, poor prehab, poor rehab and poor form. Jacked up my lower back (more so right glute area) after some heavy(er) kettlebell swings / squats. Currently still trying to rehab it back to 100% but we're at about 85%. Going to get back into a simple StrongLifts 5x5 program and add in some running as my career will require me to run, often, and fast.

Unless someone has some other sort of program they'd recommend.

 

Yup! Dark iron Fitness. Good all around belt. Want me a single prong eventually.

Got sick yesterday and got to get rid of it all day. Think I got food poisoning somehow on Sunday. Not sure from where. We went down to visit my family 6 hrs away so I might have gotten something at a rest stop or something.
Anyways got to do strongman stuff with my old HS buddy, just OHP (push press) and yoke walk. It was fun and nice having other people critique your form. I ended up with a 175x4 push press. Tried to strict press but it didnt go up. Fun stuff. All new to me.

Highly highly advise this belt for lifting, can get them for a great price, can even get a single prong step size belt so you never have to worry about being in between sizes.

 

After a half a week of binge eating junk (of which I did not get sick once, yay me) had a pretty awesome gym session last night.
Felt energized and am getting back to some of my old numbers.

I felt like me again.

 

Wooh!

 

Numbers? I just need to know who I am taking advice from haha.

 

175? We’re you standing or sitting. I feel like a clean jerk should net you better in the ohp

 

I’m getting back to my old 5x10 numbers. I do not know what my 1RM are anymore. Not ready to go there yet. If I have energy to train, can eat enough to maintain weight, and not puke everyday I’m happy.
