Gym Form
How would you react if someone corrected his form in the gym?

I go to the gym several days a week and have been doing for years. I've worked with certified weight trainers, so I know how elevators are supposed to be perfomed. I always see people lifting incorrectly the gym. Should be corrected? How would you react? If you are a man, how would you react if a girl corrected you? Thank you!

When it comes to giving advice that you do not know and did not ask for advice, can be very difficult. One approach I use when I give advice to anyone is to start a conversation that may eventually lead to understand the person. Sometimes people lack the knowledge to do things right, people slowly forget the knowledge that have learned, and some simply do not care. People who lack the knowledge to be grateful for any advice you can give. People have forgotten that usually will be a little uncomfortable, but more thankful that they took time to remember. People will despise you do not mind telling them what they already "know." So if you can Conversate with these people before hand and understand where they fall, will help you decide whether or not to give them advice. Because I have been there and done that. Good Luck!

God's Gym: Divine Male Bodies of the Bible
$48.91
Bias has been transformed from something denied or ousted, to something that is to be recognized and controlled, to vital lenses for seeing anew...bias might be renamed slant, perspective, interest, concern, even ideology. Such is the case in Moore's remarkably engaging and sometimes outrageous three studies.....br-Religious Studies Review, July 1999brStephen Moore may well be the most brilliant NT scholar publishing today ... And God's Gym is his best book so far ... This little book brims with fascinating readings, packaged in exquisite prose, and informed by sophisticated literary theory and cultural studies.br-Journal of Biblical LiteraturebrIn this strikingly original work, Stephen Moore considers God's male bodies--the body of Yahweh in the Hebrew Bible, und the Father of Jesus Christ, and Jesus himself in the New Testament--and our obsessive earthly quest for a perfect human form. God's Gym is about divinity, physical pain, and the visions of male perfectability.brWeaving together his obsession with human anatomy and dissection, an interest in the technologies of torture, the cult of physical culture, and an expert knowledge of biblical criticism, Moore explains the male narcissism at the heart of the biblical God. God's Gym is an intensely personal book, brimming with our culture's phobias and fascinations about male perfectability.
