Didn't recognise one person in the gym last night. Saw one guy doing decline bench press in the squat rack with 10 kg on one side and 15 on the other. :S
So it's not just me hahaLol don't know how
I feel like the bar has been misloaded when it hasn't, let alone having 15% more one end
So it's not just me haha
I'm not that bad but I occasionally get the feeling that I've mismatched the sides. I never have but it just feels like itNot at all
Once I get over 90% on squats I get someone to line up the bar on my shoulders, if I'm off I'm as much chance of falling over as I am successfully completing a rep lol

I think mines just paranoia lolIt doesn't take much (particularly squats as you can't see where the bar lines up)
If you're setting your hands close to your mobility limits and you're unevenly restricted right vs left invariably you probably will have the bar offset slightly unless you consciously know to correct it or have someone correct it for you
Bench I sometimes struggle in globo gyms as they tend to be really narrow and low compared to comp benches and in particular mine at home which is 36cm wide
I don't mind newbies. Give them advice/smile at them etc. I remember when I first joined up, the regulars scared me, it made it hard to go when you felt like the regular gym goers were judging you.
Help educate new people and this thread will have a lot less in it in the future
Don't get me wrong, I didn't give him a dirty look or anything for it. All the power to him. Just thought I'd share it here as it was appropriate for this thread.I don't mind newbies.

Instantly reminded me of thisAnother newbie (at least haven't seen him before) today doing some weird yoga- esque stretches in spandex bike shorts and no shoes/socks. Was directly across from where I was on the machine chest press and he remained directly in my line of sight as I did my sets. Was doing the most absurd stretches that highlighted the fact he was wearing skin tight pants. Couldn't really look anywhere else so I just closed my eyes as I did my sets. Pretty sure I caught him staring at me a couple of times too.
Fair to say it was pretty uncomfortable.
I agree with most of thisReally don't like people at the gym who believe they know everything and try to correct your program.
Last night I had two body building types come up to me and "advise" me to stop doing so much leg work and to do more upper body weights with less repetitions.
I am not trying to bulk up, I am trying to build more strength/ agility in my legs and when I do upper body work I am following a program to build lean muscle not big bulky muscles that will be detrimental for my sport.
I don't mind people helping others with technique or spotting, but if someone is following a set program you shouldn't try to change it.
I agree with most of this
Just hate when people say the bolded
Just one of those things that isn't really accurate to say. No annoyance just discussingSorry, didn't mean to annoy you.
I've been thinking
Is this guy DemonTim?

not sure I agree with thisAgree with you, all muscle is lean. What gives the bulky or better described as bloated look is to much body fat.
not sure I agree with this
only need to look at pro bodybuilders to see that too much muscle can also give you a bulky frame
