5 things that make me want to eat a 45 lbs plate!

Everybody who has ever set foot into a gym, knows that there are some things people do  that can make you want to imitate that chimp in CT not so long ago.

Here are my top 5 nuisances, in no particular order:

1 . Beginners who curl at the squat rack!! Go away, do you really think someone build this enormous cage so you can curl 45 lbs with your 12" arms?? Try a pull up instead, and eat something.

2. Doing cardio in a fasted state. It makes NO difference in regards to your fat loss, your intensity will drop since you don't have nutrients and you stand a bigger chance of losing muscle. Don't get me started on the fat burning zone. There are fat people finishing the NYC marathon, because cardio is not very effective at burning body fat. But that's another article....

3. People bothering with supplements or steroids after 3 months of training. If you can not even  eat 4 healthy meals in a row, sleep well for 2 consecutive  nights and do a single pull up; do you really believe these substances will make an iota of a difference in your physique?

Try again after 3-4 years of training.

4. Doing 1000s of crunches. In short, you have to be lean. Otherwise you are wasting your time

5. Following a routine from a magazine. Unless you are a pharmaceutical enhanced genetic freak, these routines will do nothing for you. Split routines became popular with the advent of dianabol...hmmmm I wonder. The VAST majority of trainees would look better if they split their workouts in upper/lower body or do whole body workouts altogether.

That's it I guess.

I you feel I have forgotten something, feel free to post or email me
