If I had $1 for every person I saw doing a exercise wrong...

[thursday22dp]

I'd be rich! At least half the people at my college gym are doing exercises wrong, constantly.

Especially, curls, squats, barbell rows.

I mean damn, I cant help but laugh sometimes.

I feel compelled to tell them and help correct it but I never do since Im not sure how they would react. You guys ever help anyone out doing bad form?

[hazard52003]

ditto... but i just ignore them and stare straight forward the entire time and go about my workout

[Lencho]

If I had a one dollar for every person I've seen doing an exercise with worse form than me, I'd probably owe you about 12 bucks.



If someone asks, I'll tell. If not, I don't

[icetrauma]

Everyday. Just shake your head and keep on working.

[I dont work at Ballys]

alot of time what you think is "wrong" is actually "right". and alot of time it is just plain "wrong". but here's a tip: worry about yourself.

[DiamondDelts]

If I had a dollar for every young lifter that can't seem to focus on the task at hand in the gym and is always worried about what everyone else is doing I'd be a billionaire.

If I had a dollar for everytime DD complains about other people paying more attention to someone else's workout than their own, I could buy BB.com and ban him for life.

thread = backfired

I just ignore it and go about my own routine. However,I would stop someone if they were in immediate danger of really hurting themselves. For example, I once had to run over and help a guy that had a barbell pinned high on his chest because he was benching more than he could handle without a spotter...

if i had a dollor for seeing little punks thinking there doing it right i think people who have proven to have a nice body should be the only to give advice. when i'm at the gym i don't go to the skinny guy for help

OP: Just show 'em your GUNZ and they'll immediately start copying your form.

Lencho, you need to do more buddy curls in the squat rack. You're form looked best to me when you were doing those.

EDIT: Forgot to mention dollars...uh, If I had a dollar for every dollar I had, I would have twice as many dollars!

yeah! the biggest guy in the gym must also be the most knowledgeable. thats the ticket...

I only concentrate on form when I'm doing the exercises that shock my muscles the most.

Gnarly, I just take teh CELLTECH and then everything works.

[JerG]

You get to a point where you just stop caring what other people do, as long as they are not endangering anyone.

You obviously haven't reached that point yet

Am i supposed to wear blinds like a horse when Im at the gym? Sorry if I happen to notice someone doing an exercise wrong. Or laugh when I see someone do a squat that doesnt even hit parallel.

Do whatever floats your boat young man. Just know that you are wasting valuable time while you're doing this.

you'd still be one of those guys who works out half assed and just worries about what everyone else does instead of focusing on your program and making yourself better.

laugh at them? don't do that. we all had to learn at one point, and i know i wouldn't want to be laughed at, would you?

how long have you been training for?

[thursday22dp]

So how does noticing someone doing an exercise wrong immedaitly mean that I must not put 100% of my effort into my workout and making myself stronger and bigger.

I bust my ****in ass off in the gym, and out of the gym eating right. So please dont even think of saying that I work out half assed.

Jesus christ...

If it concerns you so, start going around and letting everybody know exactly what they're doing wrong on each and every exercise. I'm sure they'll really appreciate it.


Yeah, 6Plate drives me crazy, but I don't lose sleep over it.

Ummmm... yeah. Unless they're throwing dumbbells across the gym, I don't see how it concerns you.






Come up with clever names for these people and create false accounts on the forum to troll with.

Edit: Lencho, I think we've been spending too much time together...

Jesus cant help you here son. he's busy laughing at you while you workout.

[thursday22dp]

Started around age 15 for football, off and on throughout the years.

I mean yes its mean to laugh. I dont do it purposely. It just happens, only with the half assed squats though.


Man, forget I made this thread.

[DiamondDelts]

Just another reason why well equipped home gym > public gyms

****ing jackpot.

this is exactly why women should not be allowed to work out with men. **** is distracting when they are wearing those tiny ass shorts with 'Irish' written on their ass and a sports bra doing hyper extensions.

Thanks bitch, I almost died on my last rep.

[Tallbill]

Not as many girls in tight workout clothes in the home gym though.

[thursday22dp]

I obviously want myself to make gains and get stronger. Why not wish the same for others?

Ive been there, done that doing wrong form. I had people at the gym mention it to me and it helped me immensely, especially with my deadlifts and squats in particular.

So, of course I wish all other weightlifters the best when it comes to gaining strength and size.

When I see someone , obviously new to the gym, doing way too many bicep exercises or doing them totally wrong, is it not out of good human nature to want to help them out and tell them the proper way to do it?
