Worst Advice Ever!!!

[CBGB]

So , for the last 4 weeks I have been incorporating rest/ pauses into my routine. Today, I am doing BB bench next to a flock of high schoolers when one of them tells me that I will get a better workout and more weight if I get a good "bounce" on the way down. WTF, am I the only one this happens to?
Or is it normal to get bad advice from people half your age?

What, you don't use the "power-bounce" method? I added 20lbs to my max and only cracked one rib, a worthy exchange.

I been using the power bounce with great progress. For my main heavy lifts i put a spring under my shirt.... shhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

True that!, I have incorperated the 'Swing stroke' to my dumbell and barbell curls. If it wasnt for the chest bounce I would still be maxed out at 80lbs on my press!

Maybe I'm being to harsh. Sounds like a worthwhile trade-off.

[Flagg]

There's about a hundred of these dickheads in the gym I go to.

[WOLFCRAFT]

You know I hear and see stuff like this all the time.
Even when I started out I never did the retarded shit and bad form that younger guys today use.
It seems easy to figure out the right way to lift if you just use your ****in' brain.

yeah, because we are taught in high school that it doesn't matter how you get the weight up, just that it gets lifted, we had one kid in my high school that would put his feet on the bench, knees bent, then bounce the bar off his chest and throw his butt into the air arching his back till i thought it would break, yelling and grunting and screaming till he got it up...............then he would set the 135lbs worth of weight back into the rack

At least there not telling you to buy leukic pills to help harden you up.

knock on wood, I never have anyone try to give me advice at my gym. I would just put my earbuds back in in the middle of it anyway. My young sometime w/o partner is full of useful advice, like you need to be eating like 5 to 10 thousand calories a day bro. That is an actual piece of advice he gave me.

LMAO, my workout partner is 6'0, 280lbs at probably 15-16%, dude is huge and about 28-30 i think, maybe older, the funny part is that i'm the one giving him advice all the time and helping him with his training and diet, seems kinda backwards

thats why i like my gym its always dead and when anyone is there they usually are like 80 years old and doing curls with 2 pound weights. their advice is to stay alive

[ravanA]

their advice is to stay alive

hahaha oh man that made me laugh so hard.

[Chode Logan]

Hahahahahah silly old people and their desire to survive.

[chicmagnet]

I hate teenagers (they're all dicks except for phate).

[sigman roid]

you have to do the arched back and bounce then you will see results.lol

Ya know, the worst part is the kid was bigger than me. Stupid genetics!

[Dukkit]

no one ever gives me advice in my gym... period. good or bad

maybe its cuz i wear my purple spandex pants and neon green headband

or maybe its cuz all the ppl in my gym are retired and near death

[stack_it]

Luckily the only advice I have gotten in the gym so far has actually been really helpful. All of it has had to do with legs.

80% of the people at the new gym I go to have the worst form on tricep pushdowns I've ever seen. People literally use every muscle but there triceps just so they can do more weight

U need to wear a seizure warning when running on the treadmill around all those old folks

[vpchill]

I hate the Trainer with the Beer Belly telling me how to do Abs.

[JiGGaMaN]

[calgarian]

i dont see anything wrong with this advise except the fact you can break a rib or but remember No pain No gain.....

Maybe you should listen up then smalls! j/k

I HATE it when someone who obviously does not know what the frick they are talking about actually looks like they do!

yeah one of my friends is a freak and competes......... sometimes he just says some of the dumbest things about gear i cant even respond. i had to tell him what pct was.

[Panzerfaust]

My response would have been

"Nah, I prefer to lift the weight properly" or something like that. Hell, if I wasn't in the mood I wouldn't even say anything.

[jfalco]

I must be lucky. Nobody ever talks to me at the gym.

Sometimes I see someone doing something stupid and I am tempted to help them out, but I never do. I don't want their advice so they probably don't want mine.
