My place requires all new members to go through a one on one training program before participating in any of the workouts. There are no "beginner" classes.

This really should apply to power lifting too. You can't take Chubs McCouch and tell him to start squating, deadlifting and power cleaning without some actual instruction. Unless you're a back specialist and you're short on cash.

Thats pretty much what I meant. One on one or with a class, they are gonna give you a broomstick and teach you the basics.

The first day or two after getting back in the gym after a long time always sucks. **** you squats.

LMAO This. I was at the gym last night and this fat **** was on the squat rack with awful form (too much bend at the waist and not going deep enough) and what's worse is he was trying to coach his girl on how to do squats too.

Your dedication will be rewarded by the squat gods. And your reward will be difficulty finding pants that fit.

**** you pants industry!!! They either have skinny jeans for hipster vegetarians with the muscle mass of rodents or jeans build for hambeasts.

what the heck is going on there? While a lot of that is pretty painful to watch, but what is with the hands gripping in opposite directions, and then switching when it is on their stomach?

They're using an opposing grip on a clean, which is ****ing EPIC LULZ.

I couldn't make it past the first 30 seconds. :shake:

Beautiful form/ Omaha :D

Even if you remove the obvious wrong everything....and that's coming from a weightlifting n00b......what the **** is with the weights they're attempting to lift? Are they all going with reeruned personal bests? I'm new to crossfit....put 180 on that shit!

Check this kid Braden Smith out from Olathe Kansas. He's a senior in high school and benching over 500lbs.. BEAST!

Kids these days, am I right?

My gym is in the heart of the Blue Valley district and it's crawling with monster high schoolers. And bitchy over dressed girls that pile around a machine. 6 bitches watching 1 exercise and taking up a bunch of room.

That is just idiotic. The fact that there are people teaching them to lift like that is amazing. Someone will get hurt eventually.
