gym etiquette

[fit4ever180]

I have seen the biggest guys in the gym gently put down 150 DB's after pressing til failure. It's usually the novice grunting with the 80's who feels the need to toss them on the ground putting a nice bend in the handle so they are out of balance for everyone else.

That's the truth right there!!! If you can't handle the weight on the way down, then you shouldn't be using it imo

[im here to learn]

if i for one truly fail and force rep on dumbbells i need them off me asap. theres tossing and theres gently putting down, there is obviously middle ground too.its a gym, its not dinner with the family.

and im not advocating damaging machines, bars or weights, merely stating that some leverage should be given, should squatters drop the weight in case they bend the bar? constant abuse of equipment is of course unacceptable.

im there to work my bollox off, im not there to make friends, conversate or earn tidiest member awards, ill bust my gut to and above my limit and should i drop a couple barbells on the way, so be it

yup, these guys are on the mark. you should have the strength and power to control the weight all the way back down to the floor. Not being a ***** and dropping it.

Your kidding right?? When I get done with 140's and I have maxed out at 10 reps I just drop the weights on the ground from the down position......If you still have the power to still lay the weights down gently then you are a ***** and you need to do more reps...

I agree, if you push it to the max, sometimes you just gotta let go. don't be a D*** about it, but its either ripping muscles or dropping weights...you decide
