I give you the internet gym user...

[applepie]

been trying to get my fitness back up again so been doing more exercise and hitting the gym again after a very long break.

the regular guys are still there but noticed some newer ones, in particular this person whom you can hear from miles away talking about all sorts of technique, how to do it, etc and "giving instructions" to his two mates.

OK, i'm not a fitness guru or anything but slagging people's technique outloud is well bad! not only does he mouth off about random strangers saying look how bad that is, it should be done like this and this.

he then tries and correct his mates, but himself has poor technique! I saw him bench pressing a weight too high for him with poorer technique than his mate whom he slated for!

I dont know about half the stuff he was talking about, but he came up with some real bullcrap common gym myths as well. definitely struck me as a person who has picked up alot of crap from the internet and never applied/tried it before or spoken to professionals/coaches.

meh, I didnt do anything though (to my discredit) mainly because a) i've done it before and never had a positive response from guys, only girls then to listen and b) i aint a fitness guru so he could have been doing some obscure new fangle routine I never heard off before.

Me? I'm back on my tried and tested basic Arnie workout routine with some modifications from my physiotherapist.

so its not only diving you get internet junkies!
