I agree with what you have posted, but it can also be a complete demoralising as well, put it this way, I have pushed over 1300lbs for reps on my leg press machine. A person who is relatively new to training or someone who lacks motivation could look at that and say my 100 lb on the leg press is wasting my time and give up training. It is one of the main reasons that people give up training after starting in the gym normally in January, they realise that to lift bigger weights or to build quality muscle has to take a long time and a lot of effort with regard to training and nutrition....

Well i see your point, but honestly, i think this might work exactly the opposite way for some people as well... When you go training you can see this big-ass dudes who are much stronger/bigger than you and think: god i want to be like that - shows that you can get big/strong if you just have the willpower.

For instance: you're saying you have pushed 1300 Lbs - that makes me pretty jealous and gives me a feeling to go train

After all, us new guys constantly ask you (and the other experienced lifters

) for help and we sort of look up to you here at M&S

Nice idea, up it goes...

cool poll idea

Got an idea based on something from the gym today... when you are in the middle of a set what gets you out of your groove/distracts you and messes up your concentration? Nothing. Someone doing something stupid/unsafe. Male watching you. Female watching you... just an idea.

I've got an idea, i don't think its already been done. Its how many calories do you eat per day? The choices could be:

under 2000
2000-3000
3000-4000
4000+

OR

under 2000
2001-2500
2501-3000
3001-3500
3501-4000
4000+

Top idea mate - I'm putting that one straight up!

I've got one, its sort of a nutritional question that could effect gains.

How often do you drink alcohol?
a, Once a week
b, Once a fortnight
c, Once a month
d, Never, its bad for you!
