General Gym Observations - Page 7

wow...colleges are officially on break as there were at least a dozen chode obnoxious college douches at the gym last night. Granted I was one of those two years ago, still no excuse for dressing like complete **** and screaming at each other.

Regardless to expand on why you're wrong. Most of the huge guys in the gym who do only curls/machines/etc do so because they are bodybuilders. Some guys use a pec deck because it provides the exact stimulus they are looking for. They aren't interested in strength and like most people probably have difficulty with their own genetics and may need a ton of isolation for correct proportion. Also, you'll probably see a ton of huge guys on teh juice who use it to cover up the fact they work out v v poorly. Tons of sets to failure, ****ty programming etc etc.

In addition the other post you created is abs retarded. I have nothing against stretching and feel its an integral part to any fitness regime. Though using things like "It enables me to feel every muscle and establish the mind-muscle connection fully" makes you sound like a tard. Things like that are completely ridiculous and possibly stupider than your fanboy Jihad (Gimme that PUMP! ONE TIME! JUIZE!) But I digress. While I agree with your general idea and strongly support it. You phrase it in a terrible way and are somewhat misguided IMO in a lot of advice. Your ab advice in particular was v v poor in the fact you pretend obliques don't exist and ignore the vast functional uses that they have. If you would make posts more like "I like stretching. It is good for you. You should stretch more. Here are reasons. Here are some basic stretching programs." That would be very clutch. In fact I'd probably adopt a majority of it since my stretching atm is very rudimentary. Its just the general fact you usually don't know what you're talking about, and come off as some sort of space cadet who'd spinning off the planet while giving some sort of esoteric reasoning for whatever you're advising.

Thremp,

Regardless of who's right/wrong in any of the conversations we've ever had over the past few months, I fail to see how your demeanoris anything short of inappropriate. If I were a mod here I would have banned you a long time ago from this forum for your overall negative inputs. You consistently come off as the exact type of person generally referred to as a "douche-bag" in this thread, exhibiting many of the annoying "gym observations" even in your writing. I sincerely hope to meet you someday.

I expect this is some sort of thinly veiled threat. I hope you're rich. My lawyer does too.

I am sorry, does Jihad have the:

1. intent to cause apprehension, of an imminent battery (harmful or offensive contact)

2. Apparent, present ability to carry out the battery
?

i think not.

Even if you were going to go for a bit of IIED:

liability does not extend for mere insults, indignities, threats annoyances, rough language, inconsiderate, or unkind acts. In other words, must be extremely egregious conduct.

Never. My career is far too important to waste on fights, I stopped fighting 3 years ago and I'm not rich. I just want to meet you because I have a pretty solid image of the type of guy you are and I would love to validate it and then laugh at you.

I THINK EVERYONE JUST NEEDS TO SETTLE DOWN OK?!!?

But in particular, thremp, I think you need to tone it down with the whole tough guy internet persona. You seem to have a huge holier than thou attitude in the health and fitness forum. Your advice is sound but perhaps you can articulate it in a more positive manner?

So man-slaps in the Home Depot parking lot don't count?

LOL busted I forgot all about that. I remember that pretty well, I also remember I was not in a particularly good "place" then. OK, no more fighting, starting like.....now!

I'm referred to as a douche bag by one of the bottom 5 posters on the forum mostly due to the breadth and quality of his advice (in case you're confused, its awful), who makes a weird statement at the end of his post. I counter with a ridiculous assertion that if it was a threat, I would sue him and take his monies. And I'm internet tough man?

Fair enough.

JackInDaCrak · 12-13-2007, 04:13 PM

lol thremp.

even if he said, "I'm going to ****ing kill you, tonight"

you couldn't sue him.

lol @ one of bottom 5 posters. Also, I rarely, if ever, give advice.

Oh yeah, and, I'm going to ****ing kill you tonight.

Umm... I know. I'm confused. Did you read the "If I ever meet you.." part. But whatever.

No. Your log is a complete joke. Its like a textbook on what not to do. Unless you're on teh juice. In which case it hits the nail on the head. "Do whatever you want and let chemicals cover the gaps." The "article" you proposed about back stuff is a farce and judging by the snippets of what you write its likely terrible.

I really don't have a problem with you as a person, nor know you as such. I could care less what you do with your time or your goals or whatever. You just provide across the board horrid advice (except maybe the get off you off your ass and do something, which is good) and try to substantiate it with "look at me I'm huge ergo I'm correct", which is just a terrible line of thought and indicative of poor critical thinking skills.

This is why I'm think you're a clown and a jopke. Half the stuff you do or propound is circa 1985 Mike Metzer/Arnie hodge podge that is ineffective and mostly counter productive for the vast majority of people.

surfinillini · 12-15-2007, 02:03 PM

lol, Jihad is such a laid person irl. He also might have the coolest job known to man. Do a search, he's talked about it.

And calling jihad one of the worst posters is simply retarded.

I think my new favorite gym character is the guy who loudly grunts and groans on every single lift like he's starring in a porno.
