Yeah I'd bet money that less than 1% of the PF workforce has a clue what they are talking about.

You might be right, but another driver at work lost 30lbs in the last year and now has a 6 pack. He's 42. We both follow the same nutritionists who say to cut out starches, grains and sugar and eat real quality food. I've just started eating differently. It's a whole new lifestyle.

He should have them teach him how to use all their equipment, and then ignore the rest. Then he should read up/listen to the free podcasts from nutritionists/personal trainers Shawn Stevenson & Jonathan Bailor.

I work preload, usually start 4:10am. I gym @ 12am-closing time which is 1am at 24hour fitness, 2 year membership purchased from Costco for $300 which is worth it imo compared to the $60 membership fee and $39.99/month. No, i don't shower until after my shift.

So at 6 ft your best case scenario lifting heavy would be about 200 lbs of lean body mass. That would put you at 220 lbs with 10% body fat which is where most abs start to show.
To compare a "body builder" your height would go on stage at close to 300 lbs and 4-5% body fat.

And yeah @TooTechie no matter how hard you work in the gym about 90% of your fat loss results are going to come from diet. Sounds like you're on the right track.

I've given him a rundown of what I do and told him to figure out something similar. I don't know if that place even has barbells though so he'll have to do benches and stuff on a ridiculous machine. I'd like to be able to go and show him myself but he'd have to have the upgraded membership to have a guest and at that point he might as well just join the one I'm at.

Those idiots had him doing cardio every single day with his workout. They had him doing sets with 15 freakin' reps. And they had him doing stretches after his lifts. Like my god.

I'll bet they give everyone the same plan.

It's amazing the number of machines and such people use. I could give you a hell of a body with nothing more than a barbell, weights, bench and squat rack

The only barbells I've seen are on the squat rack.
He can start with body weight squats, maybe dead lifts with the large dumbbells if he has to, pullups, maybe planks and/or push-ups.

Uhhh it's a lifting chainThe guy who owns my gym must get his equipment at the sex toy shop. Wtf is this?

Chains are great for lifting. The weight dynamicly changes based on where in the range of motion you are. For example, if you throw them over your shoulders and squat you have the full weight at the top, and as you go down the ground takes some of the weight, then it increases again as you go back up.The guy who owns my gym must get his equipment at the sex toy shop.

Yep chains are considered pretty old school anymore
Bands serve the same purpose and are what most people use now. They cost less and take up way less room and done weigh as much.

I see them laying around in different places all the time but I don't think I've ever been there while someone was using them.
