A lot of people would come up to me and ask for help and when I would try and explain stuff to them, they always just ended up ignoring the advice anyways. For example, I had a kid come up to me one day complaining of intense elbow pain. At the time he was doing tons of skull crushers. I told him that if they are hurting his elbow than he should stop. He agreed and thanked me. Ten minutes later I looked over and still saw him doing the same thing. This is pretty much standard operating procedure for a lot of people in the gym.Hardline Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000246090010443082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297503780967738971.post-60393550645146602872011-02-15T08:01:23.962-05:002011-02-15T08:01:23.962-05:00Bryan- I usually just do my thing and don't at...Bryan- I usually just do my thing and don't attempt to give advice- but I figured, might as well help this kid out.....Oh well, live and learn. <br />Speaking of "ego lifters" I saw an awesome 2 man bench press yesterday "all you!!!"- Had to laugh my ass off!Damon Brobst CSCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145632890314385871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297503780967738971.post-7487382022146851682011-02-14T18:40:00.458-05:002011-02-14T18:40:00.458-05:00Great post and I learned my lesson long ago about ...Great post and I learned my lesson long ago about giving advice...."don't give it unless somebody asks." There are way too many "ego-lifters" in gyms, and it would be way too detrimental to their ego if they had to lower the weight and perform the movement not only correctly, but more effectively as well. I learned to just let those individuals be and then watch their progress NEVER change!BryanFrancishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002270113946893032noreply@blogger.com
