i just had quite the experience, i never knew someone to be so ignorant...
anyway, i went to the gym with one of my friends (lets call him K just to be nice to him), i had some respect for this guy, i guess he would be an average joe (16 years old, trying to get girls, failing badly... so he decides to go to the gym), well, it was his first time at the gym he asked me if i could show him what i did and how to use the machine and just help him, "ok, why not.."
we get to the gym, he is all in his nice clothes, new shoes, the whole kit. i show him around a little, tell him how some of the machines work, some good exercises, just showing him the basics, then i leave him for a few minutes so i could do some more weights and i tell him to do a few sets of 15 at an easy weight on some of the machines...
i come back and there i see him, on the couch, and ask him whats up, he tells me "the leg press is the only machine i like, its the only one i can tdo alot of weight on" :duh and i just look at him "what do you mean its the only one your good at, you set the machines to the weights that suit you, you dont compete against anyone, your here to help yourself, not to show off"
he goes on about how he is only here to look cool and lift lots of weights,
this showed me that there are alot of people in this world that wouldnt be good freedivers, and no, i dont care if the person is 10 or 90 years old, they need to have a good reason to freedive, they need to be responsible, they need to UNDERSTAND, understant the dangers, have respect for water, age has nothing to do with it, its simply understanding, reasoning, common sense, once someone has those (and dedication, cant forget that...) they can be a freediver if they want to
sorry for sounding harsh, i probably shoudlnt be posting anything while im in this mood but.... i deemed it neccessary to
have a good day :t
