I learned this in the weight room today. Perhaps you were unaware...

i only had to read a few responses to realise where this thread was going...

Did you ask the lady WHY squats are bad for you? Some people get back pain from squats (more likely if the wrong technique is used - obviously)...Before everyone takes a s hit on what she said consider that.

we take a **** at what she said because she dident give any reasons. She said they were bad. period. Alot of stuff is bad for you if you have a bad back. Walking is bad for you if you have a broken leg, that doesnt mean walking is bad for everyone.

That's why trainers must be cautious of what they say. Maybe she meant that squats should be done carefully b/c of the potential for back strain if not done correctly, but that is a pretty different statement then saying "squats are bad".
 
haha this thread is funny.
and i'v never heard of squatting and the next day, you can't even walk.
iv heard of pain when you walk but iv never heard of someone being bed ridden because they cant walk from squats. haha

I said they can cause you to have a bad back. Just an example

AZN_Dave said:
she said squats make your legs hurt the next day, and she personally can't walk afterwards. So... yeah.

Well now i know she's a retard.
 
wait like 4 weeks, so she forgets all about you.

then say the same thing again. when she responds with the same functionally retarded answer, let your eyes get real big, and then laugh your ****ing ass off at her right in front of the entire gym.

PT's like that need to be mocked into getting a better education, or ridiculed until they have no clients. God knows what else she's telling people....
 
I have done them to the point of not being able to walk. But, I wasn't bed ridden... I simply walked on my hands all day.

lol, fantasic thread.

Seriously though, anyone working at a gym making statements like that is in the wrong place. Obviously never received any basic education from the gym owners. :mad:
 
Gym owners? Most of them are businessmen, looking to make a buck, with less exercise knowledge than the supposed trainers they hire!

A friend of mine just started doing squats and I asked him why he was only doing 1/4 squats. Answer: "the trainer told me anything lower is a waste". And no matter what he believes the trainer and will never believe me when I tell him different! One word from a supposed "professional" and the guy will work out incorrectly for the next 20 years. Very sad!

Tell him that I said that his trainer is wrong. In fact, tell him that I said that his trainer is a schmuck. I hate unqualified trainers... :rolleyes:

Tell him to join the forum so we can ridicule his trainer in front of him. In fact, have the trainer join the forum.
 
They are only bad for you if you do them wrong. I don't know of any damage that has been done by doing squats correctly. I'm not defending squats though. I hate them personally.
 
I hate the squat too. It kicks my ass, it makes me sweat like a pig, and when Im done I cant do the fricken jig. OH!The glory of working the body hard to pummel the body in responding gloriously. As with most things in life, the most difficult things usually are the ones that are best for ya.......Yes the squat SUCKS,,,,,,,,but I wouldnt have it any other way......I still do them, as its one of the best all around exercise one can do.......Squats rock and suck! Okay I will stop flappen like a duck now.

I completley agree. Remove that rediculous pic as your avatar.

Fourth'ed.

so, instead of this conversation

"The bicep is a bone correct?"
"yup, think so."

the conversation actually went soemthing more like

"Your biceps give me a boner correct?"
"yup, think so."

lol

I laughed at this for quite some time.


Anyway, yes, this personal trainer seems to be made of some pretty epic phail.

AZN, what country are you from?
I was thinking, maybe there's some sort of a commission or association or watchdog group where you can report idiot trainers who don't know crap.
