This image is doing the rounds with various captions.

He must be real n00b to do something like that, not sure how he mixed up to padded bit with the rough grippy bit. Also I'm sure he's not trying to be creative, going by that photo it looks like he's at a gym with a good variety of equipment.

With that said it looks like my gym that I'm constantly complaining about does know all the idiots dropping weights and not putting them away is a real problem because they've added signs to both the weights room and the front desk reminding the simple people that this is not how you behave at the gym. I don't think the main culprits can read because when I was in there today there was weights everywhere.. Occasionally a staff member will go around putting everything away and I have to say I was impressed with the female worker there that was putting away dumbells weighing up to if not more than 40Kg, that's one tough chick I wouldn't want to piss off :*O It's good that someone at least goes around cleaning up after the slack arses but really there should be someone in there at the busy times telling people off for being dicks and to help people out so they don't do silly and dangerous mistakes like the guy pictured above. But it seems that if they are not involved in a paid for personal training session they wont help you out.

I went for a run for the first time in like five years the other day [MOG]
I surprisingly managed six laps around the local football oval before my legs thought it'd be a good idea to stop working. I've been limping ever since.

I need to start doing cardio as well, I keep telling myself that I'll do it but then I "forget". I just don't like it because it can get boring, I need to make it more interesting so I don't get so easily distracted.

It almost looks like he's trying to do Hack Squats on a Leg Press machine? Lol.

But it seems that if they are not involved in a paid for personal training session they wont help you out.

This pisses me off so much, Guyver. It really boils my blood, when I want a spot for something and there's no free trainers around, and the ones who ARE around at all, are helping their 'clients' with bullshit that they really don't need, and are just being ripped off for.

I watch some of the trainers do PT's in my gym, and wow. The exercises that they give out are things that I learnt to do when I was 15.

I think having a trainer is good - especially if you're starting out. I paid for 20 sessions and finished my 20th last week.

I found they really push you, tell you what to do and how to do it properly, you can go to them for dietary advice, they write up a program for you to do and you can follow, and they're good to have a chat with. And like you said @stygiaN_, they usually do favor their clients, but how do you know it's for stuff they don't really need? Maybe they're doing a session at the moment, or assisting them with some questions? They need to keep their clients priority I think to buy more sessions/recommend them to others etc. I know when my trainer has nothing to do and I'm there, he'll come up to me and give me a quick training sesh before his next client. They're not really supposed to be there roaming the gym to see if others need a hand/spot.

I agree, but in my gym, there's no 'set' Personal Trainers, it's the gym staff who get paid extra on the side to conduct their PT business inside the gym.

If you're walking around the gym (PT / trainer, not with client) and can't give someone a quick spot because you're looking for the next dollar, that's what pisses me off.

In my younger days I was a rugby player forward position so I do alot of work outs on my legs like weight lifting, squats n etc because scrums requires most of work on the legs.

So I've been a member of a gym for over a month now and surprisingly, I really enjoy it. I try to go at least 3 times a week to do my work outs. I'm so glad I joined. ^_^

I cheaped out last month with my protein because it was a tight month, dam bills Gym Thread

It's doing a similar job as to what the expensive stuff was doing maybe a bit less, hard to tell because I haven't been pushing 100 percent recently. The main problem is the taste and how it mixes. The cheap stuff always tastes worse and is harder to mix up.

Started my semi-strict regime of weight-training and cardio for the next 30 or so days before my next uni semester begins. I've lost too much muscle mass from being lazy and generally just want to be toned again. Lucky I got free gym access at my uni; yeahhhhhh budddyyyy.

Both water and milk. Water while at work and milk at home. The guys at work crack it when I drink all the milk at work.

I was just in thailand for 10 days and the amount of shops "pharmacy" that sell testosterone is crazy
In Pattaya near my hotel they have a california wow gym, every second person going in is a foreigner in a singlet and pumped and ripped as hell
i asked the pharmacy about it and she said yes, what do you want i have everything, points to testosterone injections, i can do for you here, also have tablets, not sure what they were , but what ever you want you can get
Has anyone done anything like that?
i doubt anyone would admit it on here but feel free to send me a PM
i am to chicken shit to do it, but the results look very good

To be honest, although I've considered it, I never would. The stories I've heard/read about what they do to your body in the long term and how addicted people get, I'd rather not.
