>if gyms everywhere told clients the truth -- that there is no finish line; you can never say, "OK, now I have a six-pack, so I'm finished with my body and now I can focus all of my time on video games"... a billion-dollar industry would disappear overnight

I just got hit by some culture shock.

You're supposed to go to the gym for health and because it feels good to workout, not because there is a finish line, and that everything before crossing it is shit and misery. But I guess this is how a lot of people think? If so, I'm not surprised that fat people never lose weight. Their whole attitude stinks.

Well it's true. People that have shitty genetics have to keep exercising to keep weight off, or eat way less than normal. Look at the biggest loser contestants for instance. The ones at the end were thin as, but they all ended up getting fat again (not as fat but still overweight) and kept to a caloric maximum. Should just be an extra incentive to keep exercising tho.

They get their weight back because they go back to their hambeast families and don't have the guts to throw all their shitty food in the garbage.

That was because they're idiots who thought they were "done".

The point of losing weight is to develop healthy habits like eating well and getting regular exercise. It's not "ok I lost 40 pounds back to pizza and playing vidya 12 hours a day." I have a hard time believing this isn't satire, even for cracked this is retarded.

Yeha it triggered me too. I opened the link the gives for this shitty advice, wanting to see for myself where she got this bullshit from.
Turns out the link is legit, it tells people not to have your elbows out at 80degrees like a retard because that puts your shoulder in a bad position, and that's what novices tend to do when they try to lower the bar to their pecs. The link says that you need to kee pyour elbows closer to your body, which is legit (it should form an angle of 45degrees or so).

But this complete retard writing her blogshit completely misunderstood, and thought it meant you shouldn't lower the bar to touch your chest. Not understanding it means you should touch under your pecs.
And this is a PT. Giving advice.

Wasn't there a recent Cracked article someone posted to /fit/ about some bodybuilder losing his job and friends over his habits and scaring people with his
