I just love the gym! I had ideas of what my gym experience would be like. I will be surrounded by sexy males and females. People whose bodies are rightly proportioned. A place where I'll meet people who are so obsessed with their own appearance and care for their bodies enough not to want to ruin them.
Although some of those ideas proved to be true, most of them were on the contrary!
People in the gym, the gym I go to at least, are not physically fit. I wanted to find a person in the gym that would inspire me to be like them, but I found none! I may sound a bit critical, but I was a bit disappointed. I had high expectations of what I was going to find in the gym!
The problems people in gym face are various!
Some people go to the gym without having any idea of what they want to achieve out of their workout sessions. Some people might come and ask you what workout you are performing, if you explain it to them, they want to do it also. I can't help but wonder if that was what they were aiming to do when they decided to come to the gym for that day.
Other people, luckily, have a clear goal of what they want to achieve, but they are using maps that are taking them to the wrong direction. A person may want to increase size, but they resort in having a high level of reps in their sets! While the simple trick that most people apply is that if you want to increase size, you have to perform a set having only 8-12 repetitions. I would give my opinion and my advice, but people who go to the gym have an extra amount of arrogance. So I let them work hard for nothing! OH, I am bad!
The last group of people is the one who have a misconception of what the ladies refer to as a sexy body. I speak for many ladies when I say, ''It's not the upper body and big arms only that make the ladies think that you are good looking.'' I know this guy at my gym who stresses mostly on his upper body. He looks like a human version of Johhny Bravo cartoon, no offense. He has a big upper body but a very embarrassing lower body. His thighs are so small and calves are tiny. So, what kind of body do ladies want? Simple, an X-shaped body. It simply means that you have to have broad shoulders, slim waist and big calves and thighs. So you should have a workout program that focuses on all those body parts!
As on the blogs title, there is another problem that happens in the gym. That problem is that many people want to be other people. I consider myself to have a modest looking body, but most guys admitted that they want to have a body like mine. Funnily, I want to have their bodies too. I look at a guy and am like I'd like to look like you. How funny. So when a person tells me that they want to have a body like mine, I tell them that I want to have a body like theirs too.
To cure that problem, I think many people should consider figuring out their goals before hitting the gym. You should undergo some kind of measurements to figure out how you ought to look like. For example, there is a measurement in Bodybuilding.com whereby you put you wrist measurement and they tell you how you're other parts such as their chest, shoulders and waist should look like.
Another method that I find useful is to have a role-model. For example, My model is the model David Gandy. So, I know his body mass index and ensure that mine matches his. For example, David Gandy's body mass index is 24.3, so to achieve the same body mass index I'd need to weigh at about 73 kilograms. After figuring out his body mass index, I start looking at his measurements. I look at his chest measurements and try to match mine and his. I look at other parts of his body and do the same.
That is all for today, If you want to share your gym experience and problems that people face, you are welcome to comment.
