Most people don't understand what it means to be  "going to the gym".  It's supposed to be a challenging, focused, well thought out effort to stress the body into whatever adaptation you desire.  Most people see it more as being in a certain building. You can tell by how they perform certain exercises.  Paced, controlled eccentric phase, through at least the majority of the range of motion, and a concentric phase that is obvious the weight is challenging.  As opposed to throwing it through the first 6inches and letting it float the rest of the way up, only to immediately drop it back to the bottom.  Yeah, those lat-pull downs are really working for you.
