Annoying exercise phrases

Zamboni · 2008-12-19 15:43:17

Yes its Friday afternoon, time for some lighthearted moaning ;) I'll start the ball rolling with '...mix it up...'. God I hate that phrase. So overused here :pac: Oh and 'toning' Really hate that too.

Beat me to the punch with toning.

"Don't want to get too big/bulky/huge" is fairly annoying too unless it's said with a lot of irony.

bulking and cutting

Bulking for me = i'm getting fat

Cutting = clean up your diet so you always maintain a single digit body fat

Wrong. I always eat more to put on weight and I consider it clean bulking with all clean calories so there is such a thing.

I know - when someone says this to me I'm always thinking "No it's not, why do you think I ask you to Spot me??" :pac:

"Getting a good burn" or anything with the word "burn" in it is the most annoying gym phrase, for me.

'Squat for big arms' .....true to a certain extent but used way too much and often way out of context tis not funny anymore.

'Upright rows will ALWAYS wreck your rotator cuff, stay away from them', .....same as above!

Someone with naturally 18" calves genetically giving advice to someone with 12" calves on how to build big calves.....'They dont need much work, working them once per month is fine I get all the calf work I need driving my car/walking 1 mile a day etc'

'Lunges are a woman's exercise'.....

When someone says "I'm bulking at the moment", and you know that there's never going to be a corresponding cut, they're just lard asses who like to lift stuff.

nothing bothers pol pot (no friends into gym, trains alone kinda thing so nobody shouting phrases) but overheard once in TF coolock - some guy doing machine bicep curls roaring "life is like a box of chocolates - then you melt"

as it happens met him in a niteclub in drogheda 3 months later and asked him what he meant but alas he had no answer.

weight dropping bugs pol pot a lot more than anything posted here.
