any trainers who tells your female friends to work with a 2lb pink dumbbells for 15 reps to TONE up their triceps to get rid of their bye bye arms should be shot. applies to 99% of the personal trainers in all fitness centers. remember guys, it's not a gym. it's a fitness center.

i agree, most PTs in fitness centers are elitist scumbags. go join a real gym.

going to the free weights alone without any prior experience is quite intimidating. might wanna tag someone along. at least when you did something stupid you can laugh with someone.

oh, wtf. so lansi. the worst i got from my gym are just stares from senior and that also was more like "ambil berat"(no pun intended).

yeah i remember i can't bench the bar too when i first started but i was able to pin up to 7 plates on the chest press machine. so i kind of protected my ego at the beginning by staying away from the free weights area. then my ex housemate(not a scumbag) came along and verbally abused me to bench. i'll be forever grateful to that arsehole.

lol. 160kg, that's some heavy arse weight. our gym has this indian guy who deadlifts 120kg, at the end of his workout, the bar ends up slightly bent.
