Top 10 Gym Pet Hates
Okay, so as my first addition to the blog I need to get something of my chest - it’s a topic that me and my buddies reflect on often, and I’m not a hater, don’t get me wrong, it’s just that serious training needs no distractions.
1. People that don’t put the weights back where they should be – simple housekeeping…
2. All the gear, no idea – just because they’ve been to Nike Town doesn’t mean they can train well. Note especially middle aged men in Lycra, a big no no!
3. Bad Form – simple philosophy – use less weight and maintain good form (if you have it in the first place) – I have no sympathy for people that get injured through bad form, even myself.
4. Groups congregating and chatting around machines and benches – WTF!!, this isn’t the Women’s Institute
5. People using an incline bench as a flat bench, even when there’s one free.
6. Mobile Phones – you training or texting?!
7. BO – okay, so sweat is natural, but there’s no need to stink!
8. Lack of eye candy – vanity is a great motivator for both men and women
9. Feeling weak – lack of sleep, lack of energy…it sucks big style!
10. Circuit trainers/uneducated folk breaking up supersets.
I’m not for one second saying I’m perfect, but my training is heading in the right direction at the moment and even little things can get to me - and I apologise if anyone thinks I’m out of order with any of these, it’s not my intention, just my thoughts…
…on a more positive note, I had a great day training chest yesterday, I’m seeing some good gains at the moment, and talk about those endorphines…wow!
