Default Re: Gym Pet Peeves

Hello all, new to the forum, actually here to learn to play Hold'em but this looks like a good place to be making my first post because I have few Gym peeves,of which most are aimed at commercial Gyms. So in no particular order.

A Gym with no Squat/power rack.
A Gym with a Sqaut/power rack but no-body ever usues it!
A Gym with no Trap bar or Shrug Bar.
A Gym with no weight plates less than 0.5 lbs in weight.
A Gym full of Televisions! WTF!
A Gym full of members who have trained there for over a year and are still lifting the same poundages!
Most( not all) Gym instructors.
People who do the following, presses behind the neck, Squat with a board under there heels to name but a few.
Wrist straps, weight belts and knee wraps.Save your money and buy some Chalk!
The leg press. Stop traing your ego and learn to Squat.
Bad excercise technique, sloppy form, heaving and jerking!People who bollock on about the latest muscle building supplement and barley eat 2000 kcals a day.
All the muscle comics at the reception desks! ( a very sad world to be found in them)

So there you have it. A few of my peeves to name but a few about commercial Gym's who will milk your bank accounts for there monthly membership fees promise you the world with there crap instruction and generally leaving most of there members short changed! And you compalin about Rake!

And to sign off here is my favourite food supplement available on the market today. SQUATS & FOOD!

Or what if your gym is a college gym and doesnt allow chalk? :-( (I then have to use gloves and sometimes wrist straps for heavy deads)
