He should squat

He should squat

Have no yet seen him do anything that would warrant the belt, like squats lol

[TTT]

You should offer him advice

[Trozzle]

You should offer him advice

Nah man, would rather gossip about him online for lulz and leave him to it haha.

I'm sure there's a reason for it, even if it's just because he thinks it's cool and he's just being wanky. Either way he was a nice guy and complimented my efforts on bench press, so he can do his thing.

Just f**ks with my head.

[-FIGJAM-]

dam TTT beat me to it.

In seriousness though, I have done bench, military and a few other lifts with the belt on (because I couldnt be bothered to take it off after squats and carry it around) but my lifts were pretty good with it. Felt stable and a little stronger. But that could come down to a number of different factors, diet for example could have been real good.

Just saying.

we got these kids that come to my gym, they are about 50-60kg only real young. Worst form of concentration curls I have ever seen. Really throw their whole weight into it and sling their entire arm. It really is funny. Tried to help them out and tell them they are doing it wrong, go lighter the response i got was a beaut "what would you know?"

[Trozzle]

As many in here will attest - no matter how badly someone is doing something, don't bother giving advice unless they ask for it. If you really want to, as Birds has suggested go up to them and open with something along the lines of "Hi, how open are you to criticism?"

Italics = sarcasm.

People do wear belts for bench and over head press.

I find it helps for OHP but I can't use it while I bench.... well I can, but it doesn't help and makes it alot more uncomfortable.

-FIGJAM- aren't you the "66kg Monster" - why on earth did you try to give advice?

If I was that kid curling like a dickhead and you suggested I do it another way I'd have given you the same response.

Honestly, advice given in a regular gym without being asked is f**king annoying..

Especially from someone who doesn't look like they've ever lifted a weight in their life.

go youtube searching for footballers training sessions and see how they curl...

then film yourself giving them advice on form.

post here.

Yeah I know it was sarcasm

I wouldn't really question someone wearing a belt if they were lifting heavy, even if I thought it was pointless. He was doing SEATED preachers using ezcurl bar +10kg on each side, and seated military in the smith with 15kg on each side.

Anyway, next topic

Next topic.. Weight lifting gloves.

He should squat

So why does your back still hurt?

I see young guys come in all the time and exactly the same, they start curling with the worst techniques; lifting shoulders, throwing their backs, moving elbows etc I want to say something to them but not to fix their technique... more rather to stop curling and stick to the basics for a while, bench, lat pull downs, uprights, deads (although daunting for newbies) and yes squats! I reckon that's the BEST advice you can give them, fark trying to tell them how to curl!!!!

I wouldn't call either of those heavy, but maybe he was trying to limit the involvement of his back in the curls or something? Seated ohp, I can sort of understand.

It was actually Nick who suggested that from memory

Because I had to take some time off from Squats.

It's getting better now that I'm back to squatting though..

Next topic..

That's what I was thinking, very low weights for a belt unless he has an injury, which the way he moves etc suggests is not the case. Meh.

Bali singlets? Is that a style, or do you just mean Bintang singlets? lol

Ah ok, in any case holds true

[darksky34]

There are 2 guys in my gym that dress EXACTLY like this (in fact, at least one of them wears the same stuff every day They're the most self-obsessed egotistical twats I've ever met.
