RSSGym Rule #266: Never… Ever… Train more than one major muscle (Chest, back, legs) on a given training day. Ignoring this rule you will fail to put enough effort into either primary group to provide benefit and you’ll find yourself short of breaching your goals.
Gym Rule #265: If you train consistently and do not either; lose weight or gain strength, you are doing something wrong. Re-evaluate your goals, research methods of achieving those goals and adjust your routine accordingly. Also consider your eating into the equation.
Gym Rule #11
Although swinging may be perfectly acceptable on the playground or in the 60’s, it has no place at the gym while curling. Yes, you may be feeding your ‘ego’ because you can ‘do’ 20 lbs more than you can actually do with proper posture, you are not doing your self any good. Not only are you putting your back at risk of injury, you are not truly using your biceps (the soul purpose of a curl). To build up those biceps like you want to, lower the weight to something you can do with proper posture; Legs shoulder width apart, keeping your back straight while you curl upwards and downwards with control. The key is to remain in control.
Gym Etiquette #1
Re-rack your weights… Appropriately. Seriously, walk an extra 5 feet to put the 15lbs back where they belong, and not on top of the 100lbs.
Gym Rule #2
Be respectful of other trainers around you. Generally speaking, if there is someone training, and they step away for a second and leave weights as placeholders, don’t take that bench until you know they won’t be back; expecially when ever other bench is free. That was 2 people today; within the same exercise even!”
Gym Rule #32a
If you do not know proper form or have never had any formal training, seek advice and it will be given. However, if you do not seek it I will not interject as you apparently know what you are doing.
Gym Rule #32
I will not judge your training routine or form. No matter how poor it is our how much it puts you at risk of injuring yourself.
Gym Rule #67
If a piece of equipment has an attached racking system AND is currently in use, do not take weights from that rack unless it is ok’d by the lifter using that equipment. Just because that 45 isn’t in use at that point of time doesn’t mean the parter isn’t using it on his lift.
