Joined a new gym last night. Hilarious

New trainer at the gym came up to me today and offered some advice about my squats. He probably weighs less than me and had his client doing assisted 155 1/3 rep bench presses. I said "sure" and he told me my knees cave and that I need to strengthen my adductors. I was like "thanks, so how much do you squat?"
He said "225". When I just looked at him he hastily added "15 times".

He must have meant he does 225x3x5 and next time he'll do 230. Clearly he's part way though his linear progression.

I see a guy that deadlifts all te time w the bar behind him

It's an actual lift. That's where the term hack squat originally came from. The hack squat machine came later.

This is the original hack squat.

Just posted that too. Did not see.

I think I made a guy skip leg day à la Dom Mazetti. I had one more set on the overhead press, went to the water fountain, he had wandered up to the rack and then apologized. I said I had only one more set and it would seriously be only twenty seconds. I think it was all of five. Meantime he was doing lightweight bench presses, then wandered over and did curls. I walked past him and wanted to say the rack was free now, it's all yours, but he's just watching the basketball game. Probably twitted about how he couldn't do leg day today.

Damn. I used it pointing out my posting the same as someone else. What a wasted life.

Let's laugh at one of our own. Here is the result of my ill informed decision to try a 160 kilogram squat on less than 1000 calories inside of me.
