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.

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?"

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 :P

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

He should squat

So why does your back still hurt? :P

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 :)

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.

Are for gays... Glad we got that over an done with

This :P

Because I had to take some time off from Squats.

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

Next topic..

Bali singlets for curling in

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

It was actually Nick who suggested that from memory :)

Ah ok, in any case holds true

singlets that only cover nipples / reach down past your waist always make me laugh

also guys that wear flat brim caps BACKWARDS (or...at all) in the gym...rofl. damn can't find the meme pic

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 :sick: They're the most self-obsessed egotistical twats I've ever met.

yes, and absolutely definition of douche too.

I get none of these tools at my gym

that's cos they're afraid TTT will lay a smackdown! I loved the reebok vids so much, nothing has made me laugh as much after them.

    • Just an FYI.. I installed a ECU Masters det3 piggback. For the next few years car will remain N/A but it has inbuillt 4Bar map sensor , boost control etc if we wanted to use it for turbo conversion when the time comes. Though the plan is to do a manual conversion and go to a link ecu when that time comes.
    • Do a degree in mechanical engineering specializing in combustion systems and materials. Learn how to actually wrench on things that don't require 70k+ USD buy-in while you're at it. You also want to learn to weld and machine. If you still want to do this then you'll nominally have the knowledge to actually do what you're thinking of doing. Whether you still want to do any of that once you've actually gone through that process is anybody's guess. Personally I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than trying to package a supercharger under the hood of any of these cars when the turbos are already fighting for every last inch.
    • That's a function of the fuel pressure reg, not the pump. The pump can do more, needs to be able to do more. The reg keeps the pressure in the rail constant above whatever the manifold pressure is.
    • You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come. They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.
    • So, you're not talking about rebuilding the dampers, just putting new tops on them? You just need new tops and a spanner.
