The only legitimate use for a glove is to cover an injury... A desire to prevent callus formation (possibly so as to not snag one's pantyhose) does not constitute a legitimate use. And if you do insist on wearing gloves, make sure they match your purse.

A squat cannot be performed on a Smith machine any more than it can be performed in a small closet with a hamster.

History tells us what works in the gym, and everything else walks down the road with a carrot in its ass.

If a program of physical activity isn't designed to get you stronger or faster or better conditioned by producing a specific stress to which a specific desirable adaptation can occur, you don't get to call it training. It's just exercise.

I recommend that you change colleges.

The BEST training program in the entire world will be a DISMAL FAILURE if people fail to hold up their end of the deal. The success of ANY training program is ultimately the trainee's responsibility.

But a hot gym is where most of us have trained before. Learn to deal with it: more water, more minerals, bigger balls.
