Gym Rant v.2007

[sureshot]

i agree with sure 100%. i go to ballys, but only b/c of their lifetime membership deal.

the dumb bells are ALWAYS messed up. i have no idea how, its not that difficult to match the numbers and put the weights back on the racks. instead the 40s are in the 35s slot, the 35s are in the 50s slot, the 45s are on the floor, and the 30s are spread out in different locations all over the building.

there are also the people who insist on doing 7-8-9 sets of an exercise, in a row, taking their time, for 30-35-40-45 minutes. i’m cool with that, do what you gotta do… but when someone asks to work in, don’t be an asshat and say no. sometimes there’s only one place you can do certain things (squat in particular), and people will sit there for hours on end.

but the gyms wont do anything about the people, b/c they value the $ more than anything else.

No fucking shit about the squat racks… I HATE THAT… and my gym has two… yet these douches sit there and do nothing for 45 mins… it’ll fuck my routine up, as I usually want to deadlift of squat first… not at the end of the routine when I’ve already blown my wad on smaller non compound movements.
