If they got rid of the squat cage..I would flip out. Id probably set my own squat station up. Just set it up on the bench (really light) then walk back..when Im done..just drop it![]()
rofl...actually that probably would show them...but are you willing to drop it?Originally Posted by chest6

I let people in my gym use chalk, although not many do.
asshats.New owners took over my gym. They brought in a bunch of new plate load machines and got rid of a bunch of the benches. There is now only one bench press, no more military press and they got rid of the leg press for some retarded ergonomic press machine.
sounds like my gym
ditched all the calf machines and didnt replace them. got rid of lots of benches ..
idiots.
but of course u can't tell them what weights/machines they really should have.
No chalk at my university either, but our db's do get to 125 still not enough tho![]()
No CHALK?!?!
NINJA SLICE!

I hate those damn chain BB gyms, but unfortunately thats where Im going right now. I get so many questions, cause I guess that crowd has never seen powerlifters train. And, if I do deadlifts, rows, etc I get bitched at by the employees saying you cant slam weights. Even tho they are damned rubbed coated and indestructable. Plus why the hell dont they have a lifting platform? Cause there is no room with all the faggot machines in there!Originally Posted by chest6

Sorry, I get pissed at my gym very often. And get this: I was changing shirts for bench press and an employee said taking off your shirt wasnt allowed since it could intimidate other memebers. lmao.
Still it wasnt as bad as a country club weight room I went too--only had about 300 lbs of barbells in the whole gym. Oh yea, and having a squat rack is against insurance policy! argggg
The gym used to go to had ****ed up rules, no chalk, no banging the plates, COLLAR ALL WEIGHTS...
I tortured them constantly, everytime I was there. Everytime a 'fitness attendant' (most of whom were fat HS kids), would tell me not to bang the weights, i'd slam one more on hard when they turned, and laugh.I would also use chalk and clap my hands. They threatened to kick me out many times, but they didnt ever do it.
At the end I left when my friends new gym opened. This place is hardcore. DB's up to 140bs, heavy metal, great equipment.. Jerry sells chalk behind the counter.
Only thing I dont like about my friends gym is the fruity colors he painted the place. But the rest is cool.
Chest you got a few options
A.)Keep useing the chalk untill caught, then pull the ****ers jugular our for interupting your set!
B.)Find a new gym that allows NORMAL gym practices like carrying your own chalk
C.)Finance some funds and get your own set up at home.
PS. Denting the floor LMFAO
All the best mate.
gay, no real rules at mine, you have to be 16 to be in there, so mostly keeps idiot out there, but still young kids are ****ed sometimes, too much cardio shit though, and it is taking over the gym.
For intimidating rofl..
Yeah, the dumbbell situation is a big problem.
Collar all weights wtf is that?
I think I'll keep bringin the chalk in..only got like 5 weeks left for this year. Next year is another problem![]()
It is hard to find hardcore gym where you could use chalk. Modern gyms are girlie man's gyms, with shitty music, cardio machines and 50lbs dambels
in the gym where i work they don't have dumbells over 35kg because they say the floor can't take it lol
so does that mean anyone over 70kg cannot be in the gym?
stupid shit
hahah........we have the 150's and we can use chalk....sucks for you buddy....and yes keep using itOriginally Posted by chest6
yeah you told me awhile ago..I still hate youOriginally Posted by RuhlFreak55

you know people are pretty damn stupid to get INTIMIDATED by a huge guy... what are you going to do...take off your shirt... then if theyre looking at you funny, bash in their heads? LIke geezOriginally Posted by powerliftmike
Same thing as my school's gym - we were deadlifting and the lady says that the mats on teh floor arent meant to take such a banging up. However they are going to buy the dealift platform in may, and conisdering taht only 10-15 people actually deadflift in our gym (out of probably morethan 1000) i think they finally take us seriously
if i wasnt allowed chalk i'd ask them how to grip the bar. If they asked me to use gloves i'd say that the gloves make my hand feels uncomfortable. First of all no one adheres to the 'no outside shoes' rule so the floor is always covered with mud. If they enforced that rule then they can restrict me from using chalk, else im telling them off
becasue people 'don't like to get too big, its disgusting' or they are of the opinion that if they go heavy, that they would turn into ROnnie Coleman overnight - so I ask them - WHY DO I KEEP COMPLAINING THAT I'M TOO SMALL IF I'VE BEEN AT IT FOR 1.5 YEARS?Originally Posted by RussianVodka
Well, do you clean up after yourself? My gym has a no chalk rule. I put 2 towels on the floor under the bar so when I grab the bar chalk doesn't fall on the floor. I chalk my hands over the towels. Plus I clean up after myself when I'm done. I wipe the weights down and clean the bar. No one says shit to me about using chalk because I clean up after myself.Originally Posted by chest6

I chalk my hands over my plastic bag and then dump the excess in my hands after I'm done. A lil chalk gets on the weights and I keep the bar how it is..maybe they bitch about that. The other guys that do squats/deads don't mind the chalk at all..Originally Posted by Carlos_E
Leave it how you found it. I'd bitch to if I had to clean the shit up every night. Clean up after yourself and it won't be an issue.Originally Posted by chest6

The trainers and everything love to clean at my gym...I go at different times of the day and they are always cleaning the equipment or straightening up weights etc...
It would be great to own a gym... I sometimes vision that I would have a good area for free weights, good padding so the 130's and 140's can crash properly, (not thrown but dropped from say 5-10in up, cum on now if you can pick up 130's like me then you can drop them with some finesse)Originally Posted by MESSY_UK
Then there would be an area for machines of coarse.... But in a dungonesk atmosphere I would have the obvious concrete floor (stained) some rubber padding but only in spots for dead lifting, clean's, and crazy fukers that like to squat with out a rack... (I do but with only 225, the rack is too high for how low I get) the rubber pads would get sprayed off with a hose, so chalk would be no issue...
It would be a chalk safe zone.... well I dont know how many women would come to my gym but Its a nice dream anyway...
