Anyway I am enrolled in a class at my college and the instructor is so stubborn. I tried to tell him that I am doing another routine but he forces me to do his stupid routines. Bicep curls...etc Not only that but he also said I need to add 5 lbs on each workout. 5 lbs for bicep curls? Then I said I am just gonna do my routine. Hes gonna fail me guys. What a joke.

Suck the days dick and just do it. It's not worth it failing out of classes. Such a waste of money.

Drop it and switch to a Volleyball class. (srs)
Fun. Maybe a little conditioning. Lots of girls. I started dating my wife during a college volleyball class we took together 10 years ago.

You paid for the credits, so you do what you need to do.
If not, withdraw and take later. simple as that.

goto the college officies and talk to somebody, explain you have a fundamental problem with the class and that you'd like to drop it and change to something else, so you don't gotta fail, or waste money or go thru the dudes crappy class.

... if it's just curls and stuff how is that going to affect you lifting on your on? It can't be that taxing.

So what if the instructor wants you to do a particular routine? You already paid for the class. Either do what he prescribes or drop the class or transfer out. Simple.
I met the most smoking hot girl in a weight training class in junior college. Dated her for a couple of years. Had a great time. Best class I ever took.

I took a tennis class and it was pretty cool. Got to spend an hour outside a few days a week during spring semester. Tennis is pretty fun too, even if you suck.

Lol I took 3 semesters of racquetball in college. Easy As for sure. And cool girls.Originally Posted by goosefrabbas
OP- sucks, but his class, his rules. Sometimes you just have to do what needs to be done. Just don't let him tell you to curl in the squat rack.Clear eyes, full heart: can't lose.

If the routine is a waste of time, just do it and then do your own afterwards.

I guess I went to the wrong schools and had the wrong degrees... never had to take a gym class in college. I don't even know why you would have to, outside of those people who are becoming high school gym teachers or personal trainers.
That being said, you made the choice to take this class, which means you also agreed to abide by the rules of the class. It would make no more sense to walk into a college algebra class and complain that the professor won't let you do calculus equations. It's clearly not your choice and the class has a particular curriculum that is aproved by that institution. You can either make the best of the situation, or act like a crybaby douche about it.
...I think I know the route you have chosen, but maybe I'll be surprised

Are you some sort of athletic phenom where a few weeks of this guys training would completely kill your game right now? If not then just do it, you might actually learn something. If yes, then why the **** did you sign up for a college gym class?Originally Posted by gravite

Anyways I am enrolled in this physics class in college and the teacher wants me to do all these stupid assignments and tests. I tried to tell him I don't want to because I don't like physics. On top of that he told me I have to get the majority of the questions right if I want to pass. Then I said I'm not gonna do his stuff. Hes gonna fail me guys. What a joke.
