Gribbz's blog

In the past, I was a regular poster on this forum. It was friendly and people helped eachother. I was able to offer a lot of advice from what I had studied and personally experienced. I stopped posting there after watching the maturity levels and discussion sink faster than the Titanic.

After venturing in there today, and posting a couple of times, it became obvious that nothing had changed - infact it had gotten worse. There are three types of people that post there:-
1) Wannabe meatheads. Meatheads are bad enough, but some of these characters are acting like they're some stud with a perfect muscular physique. Wrong. You dont need to act like a bighead to give out advice. If you're adamant to act like a goon, at least save it until you have the body to back up the claims.
2) Idiots. "if I do press ups then I work my legs". Yes, ive seen them in there. Please stop giving people wrong advice and do some homework.
3) Genuine people looking for help. I feel sorry for these guys. They want advice and when they get it, it usually includes some bitchy comment or insult along with it (see point 1).

This is why im deciding, again, to just stay the hell away from that forum. It makes me laugh and also makes me facepalm countless times just viewing the forum. A few people know im a personal trainer, because I randomly get private messages from people seeking help, which im glad to respond to providing im not swamped. If anyone does have questions, feel free to get in touch with me.
