What you like

[dumbells101]

Well we had a what pissed you off thread, so how about a what do you like about your gym thread. What is the best thing about where you train.

[primodonna]

1. it's .9 miles from my place (of course this was by design)
2. good variety of equipment although not the newest or best quality
3. a lot of hardcore training going on
4. normally no wait for equipment...(although this is probably due to the time I go)
4. free tanning for "certain" people
5 . the db's go up to 200 pounds

[dumbells101]

Primodonna, if you're using anything close to 200 lbs dumbs I'm afraid of you...let me just say that. Secondly, I want to train with you, cause I need to be humiliated occasionally.

[primodonna]

haha nope...the most i use are 70s

[dumbells101]

Girl, THE 70's! I've got to ask you now...how many pullups can you do?

- Very new equipment

I don't have a lot of functional strength right now

I do one arm DB rows and DB incline presses with 70s

But i can only do maybe 2 pull-ups unassisted. Hopefully i won't be hanging from a cliff one day and have to pull myself up to save my life

[dumbells101]

Yeah, but you can throw the boulders off you if you're ever in an avalanche! I don't think I've ever seen that kind of strength in a woman. Good for you!

[Big Al]

I like the fact that when I say in my polite voice and I mean this I'm polite, "have you finished with that machine?" I haven't heard the word "no" once. Now how good is that!

[dumbells101]

Whenever I visit another gym I'll just nicely say, "mind if I work in" and usually they just say sure I'm done anyway. Most serious lifters don't rest a whole bunch I've found

[dumbells101]

I've had a great day everyone....Thanks and talk to you tomorrow!

[bigtraps]

Gold's... is the new gym i will be joining in 2 weeks: it has
dumbells 2.5lb incrimets up to 100lb
a DJ, takes requests from the houde phones through out the gym
all the latest hammer strength, and every variety there of
a lighting show
a sound system that makes the 200lb dumbells jump
each machien has its own wieghts
they have got those $20 G treadmills, the ones that you can free wheel on
a smoothie bar
hot babes that work there
big natural guys
big unatural guys
lot of people who compete, some are trainers
The dressing room is like a spa,
The gym anly allows adults, it has a BB atmosphere.. You break a sweat when you ealk in, cause you are just so exited!!

[Nathan]

It's very close to my house.

[PaPaPumP]

Do you guys go to lift, or to live up the amentities?! If i had all what you have, I'd probably just sit around with a smoothie and watch TV on your satelite while I get slopped around by a hot "unnatural girl" in a mud bath, as I shout to the DJ play some 2pac under the strobe lights!!! Just kidding.

The only reason I picked my gym, is because it's a hardcore gym where people go into workout, not socialize. I have 3 other gyms closer to me, but I pass them all on my way and laugh at those fools going in to work the arm bands. . Nah, they can do whatever they want, don't bother me one bit! That is the only reason I lift there, the equipment is sub par, nothing is new, lockers don't even work. But hey, if it gots Iron, count me in.

Damn chick your hard core!

>SOLID

[Billy Boy]

The music is what I WANT to listen to
I never ever weight for equipment
I can "break wind" as much as I like without people complaining
It is very close and open 24/7

Oh yeah I train at home
