Skinny trainers suck!
If you want to write an article on the internet or in a magazine, please do me a favour...
GET SOME EFFING MUSCLES FIRST!!!
If I want my car fixed I go and see an experienced mechanic, someone who has a good reputation and has been around a while.
If I have something wrong with me I go and see a Doctor, someone who has a good reputation and has been around a while.
So...if you want to get stronger and bigger and faster what do you do?
You go and see a trainer/coach who has a good reputation and has been around a while!
You DO NOT go and see the skinny guy who runs marathons or does crossfit or who trains the yummy mummy's and has a nice clean certificate from his recent PT course even if he can do some really wierd exercises on one leg!!
If you are a trainer, get some strength and build some muscles before teaching people how to lift...please...pretty please with sugar on top!
A few more things in absolutely no particular order...
- One arm pushups are NOT better than the bench press for upper body strength.
- Lifting weights is fun and can be serious but it is NOT your life...it is a part of your life.
- If you want to do gymnastics go to a gymnastics club. They kinda know how to teach that stuff.
- Olympic lifting for high reps is dangerous.
- Trainers who write articles after less than five years of training know nothing and should not be trusted.
- Don't get cocky and drop a smith machine incline press on your nose.
- Doing some log lifting and farmer's walks doesn't make you a strongman.
- If you've never done 20 rep squats hard and heavy then you've never pushed yourself mentally in the gym.
- If something hurts it's probably a niggle or a strain not a full on injury. Taking time off for this kind of thing means you should probably take up flower arranging instead.
- If you 'Don't want to get too big' then please - join a girls gym and get your privates parted so you can wee like a girl.
There will be more.
