My last visit to my current gym tonight, membership ends tomorrow, going to be weird after a year of three times a week.
Starting at Total Fitness in Handforth Dean, anyone else go there ?
Not for years, but drive the bypass every week. In fact i'll be on it in 90 mins. Traffic's a nightmare at the moment where the new road joins at the Poynton/Bramhall roundabout.Starting at Total Fitness in Handforth Dean, anyone else go there ?

I'm in and out in an hour doing 3 compound lifts. never bothered with stretching, i warm up with the bar. and as he said, the first few warm up sets feel like crap, but it gets better. i use my phone but only because i use the timer on it.

Yeah, I've got a gym moan.
The petite blonde who decided to do her squat and deadlift routine next to me this morning.
Little Miss 'Look at me' was wearing what can simply be described as a minimal bikini top and the teeniest, tiniest, spray-on pair of light blue 'panties', cut across her butt cheeks and with a 'nude' fit on the front. Of course, all this exacerbated once she started squatting.
Why is this an annoyance?
Because I had to work so much harder on my lateral raises and bicep curls! No stopping and huffing and puffing half way through each set; just continuous reps with perfect form.
It's unacceptable!

Watching people wearing knee wraps and belts for basic and light dead lifts or squat (either with bar or squat machine), ok some might need them for medical reasons but there seems to be an unordinate amount that use them lately?
Heres one;

Then after IG stalking some girl, this popped up in her bio,
http://invigorateclinic.com/
So being a simpleton that i am, it all seems so baffling and im not doubting her credentials but is this the new 'online PT training'/herbalife? Or no different really to the official internet doctors you get?

Cant comment on the form as ive never liked that machine - can never figure out feet placement and therefore knee positioning, but the weights are 20kg plates.
They only have or had 2 plates at 25kg and i cant see them having bought anymore - its my old gym. That guy is a 'new' PT there so i dont know him but he won some BB comp recently (but the category where you dont have to show leg muscles/wear board shorts). I just dont get why you need a belt and wraps though.
Though at Gymbox, im not sure how some of the guys there dont topple over

Someone this morning hogging the squat rack, smith machine, power rack, 2 bar bells, and one of those vibrating plates. He was doing a couple of reps on each then moving on.
Fair play if the gym is empty, do what you want. But as soon as people start forming a queue to use the stuff, I think you'd have to be a bit of c-unit to carry on your routine taking it all up.
Also when he was finished he left it all where it was, didn't both re-racking anything. Bit of a bugbear of mine.

The guy the other day who took one of the Deadlift stations, all his stuff there, wanders off, comes back, does a set, then f
ks off again, has a chat, comes back, does a set, all the time I was in the gym he was there fking about, and he made a fuss about lifting 60/70 kilos like he was in WSM, ok I nearly fainted after my last set but I didnt make a fuss about it 
Then there are the guys that train together, get four sets of dumbells out, couple of barbells, finish then leave it all on the floor.

Douche in the gym on Wednesday doing exactly the same thing - a set of DLs every 5 minutes or so. Lifting basically bugger all (80kg or so) but making a huge song and dance about it, dropping it completely at the end of every set, etc.
He walked off after his second set, doing the full "Big Man" swagger. One of the gym rat guys that is actually strong walked over and took the weights off the bar while he was gone, then sat there giggling when the douche came back and looked upset.

to be fair, depending on how many reps I do at 80kg (10-15) I might take a break of 4min+ between sets.He walked off after his second set, doing the full "Big Man" swagger.
