Corbab Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Am I the only one who cringes watching all the "What not to do in the gym" videos being filmed exclusively on machines? Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them. -Ayn Rand Amongst those less skilled you can see all this energy escaping through contorted faces, gritted teeth and tight shoulders that consume huge amounts of effort but contribute nothing to achieving the task.

Luthorcrow Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ok, wait, what did the show off do that was wrong? Everyone has a different idea of what showing off is. I remember I was working out at a YMCA getting training for a long backpacking trip and I was running on a treadmill at the highest elevation and highest speed for 30 minutes. I got of the machine and a old man that had been on the treadmill next to me walked up to me with a disgusted look and snorted, "show off." I remember thinking, "WTF, what did my effort have to do with you?" Link to comment

Guest Snake McClain Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 i'm definitely the meathead from time to time. not doing the "WOOOOO" after the set or the drinks and such but the grunting when pushing something really heavy. sometimes it's all i can do to push that last rep or two. *shrug* Link to comment
Morrigainz Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I definitely do the meathead grunting, but I'm not so much into kissing my guns And I'm ABSOLUTELY the face. You guys will see....

The Tin Man Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I love that I instantly knew what was funny about The Meathead doing squats in the Smith Machine.And I'm inclined to agree about the showoff (except maybe the bit at the end). I would love to be able to do backflip burpees and handstand pushups! The Tin Man: Cyborg Ranger Tin Man's Out of Date Epic Quest I am what I do. Link to comment
ellystar Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ok, wait, what did the show off do that was wrong? I think if you're with a group of people who are doing the same exercise and you're adding back flips, that's showing off. Though those back flip burpees were pretty cool. Link to comment

unicornassassin Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 HAHAHA! I love that. I am totally seizure face!Nah, I would argue that obviously the standard burpee wasn't challenging enough for him.I kind of agree here. In yoga classes if the instructor shows a move that's too easy for me I modify it to a harder version... I worry about people thinking I'm a show off. Full disclosure, I inwardly am kinda smug about it. I'm working on it! It's a crap attitude. But I'm also not going to just go easy on myself and have a less challenging workout.

ellystar Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nah, I would argue that obviously the standard burpee wasn't challenging enough for him.I agree with that. He'd be showing off if say 4-5 people were working out together doing burpees, and the guy came up and just started doing back flip burpees next to them, that would be kind of uncool. If he's by himself doing them or even in a class and needed to challenge himself more, then that's awesome.This one's been around for a while, For the Runners: That was hilarious. I also love that Journey song. I'm going to add it to my work out playlist. Link to comment
