Alright what the hell gym personal trainer
alert!!! This will be long!
I do my clean and press and get a little attention from the free weight crew - a new move for this bunch I guess? Or maybe for a girl well that triggers slug man - this is the trainer who corrected my step up form in a previous entry - so for my squats,... I have the bar loaded,
(note I have headphones in to deter people from talking to me)
Trainer: "you gonna squat all that?!"
Me: "yep."
T: "wow - how long you been squatin that"
M: "Well I think this is my 3rd time" - enter squat rack getting ready
T: "hmm" - leaning against the smith machine within 3ft watching my every move....
M: legs shaking, pushing through trying not to notice the F&^$ head in my line of vision, whew put bar back in rack...
T: "Wow the first couple you nailed then you started leaning, be careful."
M: "Yeah I could feel it I was trying to correct myself" writes in log thinks WTF your eyeballin me no wonder my form is off you jackass...go again
T: again watching every move.
M: done put bar back
T:"why you lifting so heavy?"
M: after delay "To get stronger, healthier and its pretty fun"
T: "You dont need to lift heavier to get stronger"
M: Wide eyed and shocked
T: "If I lift 125 or 225 it doesnt matter, Im just saying if you lower your weight you can concentrate on your glutes instead of full body.
M:"Well Im going for full body excercises"
T: "Why?"
M: stumbling on my words,... "well it would take to long to isolate everything, I only have an hour lunch...." - lame answer wtf am I thinking - Oh wait thats right I just did some really hard movements with heavy weight my brain is not functioning...
T:"And? Why so heavy?...blahblahblah" there was more but....I will spare you
M: "Well talk to me another time because right now i am in the middle of my workout"
ARGH!!!!!
So I need to think of a sit down shut up leave me alone answer for him. It would have been different if he had asked me while sitting around, I like to talk about fitness and different ideas but mid work out is just plain rude, dont question my training techniques. He is the type of person that is poison in the gym - IF this were my first time or week I wouldnt go back. Anyone have some good sit down and shut up answers... I know I like lifting heavy and its yeilding good results...(something I should have said) Anyway wow...tooo long!
