Trial? Lol. I had a bad experience today. Decline benching. Bunch of f***ing trainers (6 of them, 4 guys 2 girls) laughing and chatting away at a section of the weight floor. Asked them for a spot. They looked at each other and said sorry we're having meeting.

Then one of the regular members saw my plight and offered to spot. He told me the reason why they ain't spotting is cos you ain't paying them. Bunch of twats. So i went to them again and said,"Hey about I train you guys want?" I charge cheaper than you all definitely".

Then it all went down from there.

No. Most personal trainers are crap unless they REALLY know their stuff. I don't want to be associated as one. I'm happy enough being a doctor.

The PT's at FF Asiajaya are so nice. I was close grip benching a lotta weight and this Malay guy helped spot me through everything.

It all went down when one of them asked who the hell I was coming in there and saying shit like this. I just said a lot of you have a lot more work to do on yourselves. The offer to train you is still open. Then i walked away.

No it was a damn warm up set. And i don't use Smith machine for declines. I was starting out with a 100kg, then working up to 130 or so. I just needed someone to stand there and make sure to catch it if i fail. And i rarely fail cos i know my own strength.

i use the decline bench to do db bench press (like the pump and its easy to go heavy on this compared to incline or flat)...idiots now have to prepare a makeshift decline bench which is equally dangerous and perhaps not workable
crap

I've been to three commercial gyms: CF, FF and True Fitness. I have had plesant encounters with CF and FF (there were some arses, but the good outweigh the bad). The worst is True Fitness. Bunch of dicks who think they're the man (!) when they've got flamingo legs.

And, yes, FF sucks for NOT having ANY decline benches in their branches. Sucks mad this.

if u look over my posts earlier, i've included the reason why they removed them
hilarious bro
thing is, okay la kalau tanak kasi orang buat decline ke ape
some people did plated crunches on that which is good also
now boring gile and the technogym bench is so short i have to practically move my ass to the seat to do flat bench press or db pullovers
crap la...

oh and can anyone exlain the meaning of the plates on the cables at ff where the numbers are based on a sequeance of 2.5's (e.g. 5,7.5,10.5,12.5, etc etc) is it in stone ke ape?
i know i can do tricep rope pushdowns at a maximum of 110lbs but with that thing 17.5 felt like 110lbs...
whats that?

Haven't been around lately so I definitely missed the reasons. Care to repeat them again? tongue.gif Thanks.

You must go to the Menara Maxis FF. They've taken away the good machines. I miss the old station where one can do a variety of tricep exercises and adjust the height but now it's gone. WTF!? They took the best machine away and added short ass benches only kindergarten children will find useful. Or midgets.

even midgets will find it insulting due to the length and absurdity of the benches
hahaha...and yes i pegi maxis
the reason why the removed the provisions were due them actually following this article from some hell hole university where they said doing decline benches is dangerous for people with high blood pressure la kononnya cuz the flow of blood agains the gravity la ape la...
even the trainers were disgruntled...many patrons begged for the machines to be brought back...heck on the days when im bored with standing calf raise, i could last time use the sitting calf raises and give my valves all the cramps...but skarang all the new machines suck although now got the pseudo hack squat machine
hahahaha

or ... you can be pretty

i was doing the trial at celeb fitness in 1U and there's this trainer who always hangs around this hot chick. Every single day for the days i am there. And he is obviously not having a coaching session...cause it's like 2 hours sometimes. then sometimes he will say in a knowledgable voice that she's doing xxx wrong, should do yyy

sad thing is...i think she looks more fit than him...lol
