Unsolicited Gym Advice

[grey]

I asked him if he knew who Ed Coan was, he replies "no, I haven't. Is he from around here?"

I am amazed you could keep a straight face...

I tried to give unsolicited advice to a guy the other day. I told him that he might not need the lifting straps to bench. He said he uses them on all his lifts so the bar does not slip out of his hands. I will not give advice for any reason from now on.

I only use the straps to lift something truly heavy, like my imaginary pornstar cock.

Probably the same guy who uses clamps to keep the weight on the bar on the smith machine

I use clips on the smith machine. You never know when the whole gym is going to tip over

thats a nice question,it happens sometimes, but it depends of the situation, if I know I am doing right, i,m just polite and says thanks but ignoring his/her advice.

I've only been training for 3 years, so 80% of the guys in the gym are far larger and more conditioned than I am, so I gladly accept any advice they give. And I'd never walk up to someone with a better physique than mine and offer advice.. like seriously what on earth could I possibly teach THEM - they obviously know what they are doing and are getting results. My gym gets very few beginners, or if it does, they come in later. I am part of the 4am gang, and nearly everyone in there at that time is serious as fuck. Big, conditioned, fucking focused and killing more plates than I can count.

I just stick my earphones in and try to get my workout done without permanently maiming myself. If any of them ever offered advice, I'd definitely listen. I train on my own - mostly because I just don't have the strength these guys do yet.

Out of 3 years I've had major setbacks thanks to car accidents, bullshit injuries suffered outside of the gym - hoping my luck changes as time goes on and I can finally get back to making progress again!

Its a constant battle and you will never be satisfied. Its good youre surrounded by those big guys, it will push you harder.

Some guys get results in spite of their methods, not because of them. Besides, you'll still get bigger if you're doing stupid shit like rolling your shoulders on shrugs or leaning so far back on curls you look like a Weeble. That said, I wouldn't give those guys advice either. While they're out for rehab, it'll shorten my wait for the equipment.

I don't waste my time with people unless they ask my advice
