Gym Etiquette

[double-leg]

You know i got to my local gym today and this fuck face and his client spent 45+ minutes on the hack squat.
I don't understand this concept at all. You're using almost no weight.
And at the end i counted at least 10 sets with 0lbs on the the machine. I did my whole leg routine and he still wasn't. Done now its 1 hour since he had this machine. I felt like this fuck was doing it on purpose
So i asked how many sets he had. He gave me a attitude and said "two." I said "great"
This fucking shit boils my britches. I did 9 sets with 15 secs in between and was done.
I felt like saying go play with the resistance bands

I fuckin hate when they are having a conversation with their clients when they are in the middle of a set. WTF? how's a person suppose to focus that way?

Because trainers are taught that you need to build a relationship with their clients so they can buy more sessions. Most trainers don't know shit. Gyms hire any type of trainers as long as they sell sessions and make them money. I was a trainer years ago. The guys that were the biggest bullshiters were the top trainers. Some were never certified and got a job.

I guess that makes sense from a business standpoint, but your right, this trainer didn't know anything. He had his client doing squats with the worst form I've seen. my knees hurt just watching

No wonder people end up giving up because of incompetent trainers

My wife is my lifting partner, it is a fairly fine line I have to walk to push her without breaking her spirit.

Ya i certianly understand that one. Now shr likes when i coach her and push her. She feels she dosnt have the motivation to lift as hard when she is by herself. So she want me to push her now. She was crying last night tbat she isnt getting anywhere cause she only lost a lb this week
