Sorry Ant, that's not what I was doing either. I can explain what I was doing but I doubt Plex would get it then. :bigwhoop:

Thanks for lookin out for a brother though! I will be more careful in the gym! Cannot get injured before my meet on the 23rd of Feb!

BTW, I am going to do that 455 for a triple (that means 3 reps PLEX) next week. Mark my words. :boxing:

Tell me about it next time we're at the gym. Speaking of that - early AM workout! Have a good one!

I know Cardio sucks and everyone hates it...but being that my inner fatboy is always screaming to come out i have to do it.....lately i've been doing HIIT workouts where I need to closely monitor my HR via the Hand Holds. This works great until someone shows up that is wearing a Strap or a watch that transmits HR info. It will take over my machine and start controlling it according to their HR....I can't see who's doing it, they are probably wearing them under their clothes. If I did see I would ask them nicely if they could stop because it is messing with my workout....

Viable complaint or mindless whining?

As a former gym manager, I understand your complaint. This sucks but unless the gym has room to space the equipment properly(most gyms don't have the space), this is bound to happen. Most cardio equipment with HR interfaces must be spaced at least 2ft apart. Even then many variables can interfere with accurate HR readings. Such as Television/Audio equipment, etc. Polar recommended to me once that I space equipment 3 ft apart. Try doing that with over 80 pieces of cardio equipment.

This was probably more of an answer than you expected so........ here is the short version.

QUIT YOUR MINDLESS WHINING!!! :lmao::smack:

This may have been posted already. But since it happened last night it's fresh in my mind. Cell phones!!!!!!!!! I just don't see why people on cardio feel the need to carry on a conversation with someone. Even people on the floor using weights. Why do you need to talk on the phone? Can't you be away from your phone for an hour or so?

:lmao: I hear ya, and I figured that was the answer, it just sucks when your 40 minutes into a cardio run and someone takes over your Tmill with a HR of like 120 and the elevation decides to shoot to like 11!!!

I am not one to make excuses. I did not come through on my 455 for 3.

I am, however, very pissed off with my bench right now. I am also highly motivated. I WILL do this soon. I have done it before and will do it again. Check my training blog to see the result.

(I didn't realize how motivated I could get off a negative post :boxing::lmao:)

SOYG (Sick of Your Gym) 01-17-2008 12:56 PM Whey don't you try running instead of lifting heavy weights like some dumb cave man. "Me big Fatty lift big rock" If you run you won't look like Jabba the Hut anymore

LOL. If only I could look a little more caveman.............

There is a lady that comes in the gym and does just cardio. Nothing else, cardio glide for 20 or 30 minutes, then the bike for 10 or 15, then leaves. I don't know about you, but me.... If I'm going to pay money for the gym, I sure as hell am going to get my money's worth. Doing the same thing day in and day out isn't going to get her any where.

Oh and this is something I laugh about on the inside. People who wear clothes that are to small. Nuff said.......

I love this one. I also love the "Yo-boys" who wear the t-shirts that hang down past their knees.
Some over-tanned, wrinkly-skinned, women in the gym really should rethink the whole shorty shorts thing. Not good......

Hmm, I wonder who you are referring to? :whistle: Not to mention her fake a$$ walk. War, I think you should give her a quick reminder that she's not all that....

Gold's Gym

Gold's Gym of Waldorf is not a gym I would send anybody to not even my worst enemy. I have been banned from Gold's Gym because because I knew about the owners drug problems and other misdeeds! Along with his Martial Arts/Personal Trainer buddie's problem with sleeping with his clients and getting a woman pregnant and then having her get an abortion! (The martial Arts person is married). People think I left the Gym because I had caused a problem! I am a victim of a character assination by 2 dishonest so called men! The Martial Arts person's motto is Honesty, strenghth, courage, yet he cheats on his family. Talks a good game does the opposite.
