I had this personal trainer with a major case of small man syndrome come up and tell me how to bench. When I explained to him (and I was honestly very polite) that benching with an arch in the back, elbows tucked, shoulders pined back and lats flared allows for a safer and bigger bench. I was told to stop or get out. After 5 years I am told that I shouldnt arch, elbows flared and bench to the middle of the pec line. Bench is all about chest strength and nothing else. I had no choice but to put my tail between my legs and walk away after being blessed with the wisdom of a 20year old saint who has done a 6 week PT coarse.
Find a real gym or get a home gym.
It's what I did
in this world of litagation , oh&s , insurance , he might come of as being a nazi for making you do these things , but have to remember that he is trying to protect his arse and that of his business
at the end of the day that is the thing that you to remember that it is a business not your local hang out , if you don't like the rules move on
I bring a cd player in and crank up my music and the gym is right next to his office and he winges that the music is to loud and he cant concentrate on his office work, also they have tv's in there and the old people sit on the treddmills and watch the today show and the mornings show and they complained to the owner that they cant hear it cause of my music so he told me to have it really light or dont have it on at all, WHAT THE FUCK its a gym not a place to watch tv, that really pissed me off.
I agree with you to a certain extent, except all i think of is im paying good money to train there and i feel like im being treated like shit.
Tell him to fck off and fight you outside
I hate this rule!The only rule I dislike in the gym I train at is the no bags on the gym floor. Meaning you can't carry your gym bag around with you. It must go in a locker, yet you can carry around you. water bottle, towel, gloves and T-shirt and leave them all over the floor!
I totally agree that is much more of a risk by having it all lying around compared to being in a bag!I hate this rule!
I take in a bit of my own stuff like neck pads for bar, bottles, supps, wrist straps, sometimes my boxing gloves, ab mat.
I think this shit scattered all around is more of a risk than a bag whichis far more visible.
I have been warned for swearing at people.
My gym owner is nothing but a hater and trys to bring people down that wanna take bodybuilding serious.
