Today really was almost 180 degrees different then yesterday. My workout was great. Lots of energy and intensity…maybe some spit accidently went flying, but who keeps track of that. And if I’m still feeling crazy later I might go for a really easy run.
Though I had a great workout today, something that has always bothered me is people that don’t use proper form when they lift. Or even people that just do stupid and dangerous stuff to look like they can lift a lot. I’m going to piggy back off of yesterdays post and say something else to not get yourself hurt in the gym.
If you’re not going to use proper form just don’t even show up. You’re not working your muscles correctly and you are more then likely going to hurt yourself. Now I’m not trying to be the gym elitist jerk guy. But I hate to see people hurt themselves trying to lift too much.
Before you attempt any new exercise or even if you’re not sure how ones done you should research it, bodybuilding.com has a huge database of exercises and videos on how to do them. The exercises don’t have techniques so the strong guys (or girls) in the gym can laugh at the weaker guys (or girls). They have the technique to maximize both the correct mucsle fatigue and to reduce the chance of injury.
You can check out my other pet peeves in the gym under my “10 commandments” page. But I’m also curious, you guys know what my pet peeves are. What are some things that you see in the gym, or in the fitness world in general that get to you? Let it all out. I find the best way to fix problems is to get them out in the open.
