Cruiser’s Current Thoughts

I did what I have refrained from doing for nearly 2 years now. And its weird cause it seemed like a different outside force made me do it, kinda like a push. Like in the stride commercial when the guy gets kicked in the back by that german dancer, forcing the gum to fly out. I corrected 2 guys in the gym on close grip cable pulls.

Normally I would just shake my head and keep walking, but again, my mouth just opened and I said ‘thats too much weight for you.’ I didn’t even take my earplugs out or turn off the music until they questioned my comment. I went to explain that if they’re barely bringing the handles close to the body and they’re having to use so much momentum with their legs to even pull the damn thing, they might as well consider it a leg exercise and not a back exercise. Then told them about the possibility of injury and dangers because of them using such heavy weights. I Lowered their weight by almost 70lbs before they were able to perform 1 correct rep, one plate at a time.

Is this gonna be a continuous thing for me now? God I hope not. I dont want to be ‘that guy’ cause sh*t, Im not even a CPT yet.

In other news, I get TIRED of seeing the SAME DAMN PEOPLE come into the gym, jump on the treadmill/oliptical/stairmaster, do something light for 20-30 minutes, then leave the gym. 2 months I’ve been at the gym, and they have not shown signs of any improvement what so ever. I feel like going up to the machine and pressing ‘Stop’ and telling them ‘GO UPSTAIRS AND LIFT SOMETHING.’ Is that bad? haha, I want to give them some pointers on how doing the same thing will not produce results in the manner that they’re doing it. At least RUN on the treadmill or something!

Anyway, thats my grip. Im gonna go push my motorcycle up hill…
