Friday

- Have you ever noticed how the girls that spend hours in the gym never seem to break a sweat? Why is that? It can't be cos they're aimlessly walking around the entire time modelling in the latest sports clothes rather than actually exercising.. no it can't.

- If you think you're so important that you need to bring both your BlackBerries to the gym and check them every 8 seconds, then you don't belong in a gym.

- If you're a personal 'trainer', then you should at least have the knowledge to teach people how to perform the exercises correctly, rather than show them how to prepare themselves for serious future injuries.

- If you're a personal 'trainer', then it doesn't mean that you're qualified to teach people how to improve their functional strength.

- If you're doing anything other than a pull, you don't need straps, otherwise you look like an idiot.

- Just because you can leg press 15 plates, it doesn't mean you can squat 15 plates, you can probably squat 1 plate.

- If you're paying a personal 'trainer' to do nothing more than give you a few hours of attention every week, then you're probably getting nowhere.

- If you approach me in the gym and try to teach me how to powerlift using examples related to bodybuilding, you are no longer entitled to an opinion on anything. Ever.
