Overheard in the gym - Share!

LUZL- I did that last Friday- there are 2 sets of squats in my workout- so squat bench squat.

 

back on my second round of squats I load i tup with something like 85%... and crank out the sets- painfully.

 

Last set I realize it was supposed only be 150 pounds for six sets of 3- not 185...  no wonder that shit was hard!!! LOL

Heard this gem after spin class over the weekend. 

 

Immediately after class as people were filing out a lady went 

 

'I'm glad I came to class this morning, it means I can eat whatever I want for the rest of the day'

 

I giggled thinking it was a joke and got a glare back from her, whoops!

Not heard, and not in a gym; but did anyone watch the little gymnast lady actually beat the warped wall for the qualifier on American ninja warrior?! So. Freaking. Awesome!!  I have a new long term goal.

I may have to change gyms...........there was a rat the size of a cat in there this morning, luckily the gym dawg was quick enough to grab it, not sure what happened to the head but found the body on the lawn.

Talking to a trainer at my gym the other day, I mentioned that I wish I had discovered my love of weight training earlier in life and if I had I may have become a trainer I love it so much.

 

His comment "Yeah, it's going to be a great hobby for you but unfortunately nobody is going to hire someone your age.  Who wants a trainer in their 30s? Thankfully for you, you've already got a career"

 

Gee thanks, dick.

What a rude jerkface! We have trainers of all ages at my gym, I think the age range is 24-70. I think you should get your certs, become a trainer and nab some of his clients :P

There's a PT in our place, looks like Yarp from Hot Fuzz, he seems to do alright for clients!

 

Never too late to start!

If he said that to me, I'd never train with him again.  One of my favorite trainers at my gym is easily over 30, possibly over 40 (never asked him his age).

This, I prefer the slightly older trainers. If they keep up with new discoveries and insights they typically know their stuff better & a lot of them are definitely better at motivating people.

An older trainer would def boost my morale: "If he can still do it..."

The past is only smoke in a dream.
