Fitblr’s: help a brother out with some knowledge.

cheapzen:

There be a PT at my work who keeps getting up my ASS about the way I train.

Every time I squat deep, he tells me I’m gonna ruin my sacroiliac joint.

Every time I squat in general, he tells me I squat too often and SHOULD do plyometrics or “cardio”

Every time I kettlebell swing he tells me to take it full overhead, and then actively decelerate it as much as possible before I swing again.

Everytime he sees me train he tells me to vary it up to “Keep my body guessing”.

What the fuck man? Can’t a brother lift in peace? What is a lay man like me to say to a supposed “REAL actual strength and conditioning trainer” (his words)?

How do I get people like this to leave me alone? HELP!!!

He might just be trying to be helpful, but unless you ask him for advice it’s really none of his business what you do in the gym. Unsolicited advice from ANYONE in the gym is quite obnoxious. Also, if he’s a strength and conditioning coach, it’s really not up to him to say whether your sacroiliac joint will be ruined. That’s not his area of specialty. Even if it was, it’s YOUR sacroiliac joint! Personally, I’d nod and then do whatever the hell I wanted.
