So today i ws supposed to start training again (33rd b-day) after a 2 yr layoff. I ws soo excited when i woke up that i didn't even bother with breakfast and drove straight to a local gym to do a day workout. I felt great...like old times..i ws so damn excited getting back in...and what do i get told at the front desk..

THIS IS A JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE AND WE DONT ALLOW GRUNTING OR LOUD NOISES IN THE GYM...WHAT THE FUCK???

so thats like telling me (if i were say taking a math test), " dont study too hard cause it might make the stupid kids feel bad about them selves"

i'm soo gawddamn pissed right now...how can this even be legal?

I've heard so many crazy stories about Planet Fitness!

I love my Golds Gym man, walk in greeted by massive posters of bodybuilders from the 60's and 70's that take up the whole wall!

This has been discussed at length here a few times and Yes, it's lame beyond belief. Are you going to switch gyms?

i made a thread about it a few days ago

5th lumbar vertebra rotated..lost feeling in my left teres major..left tri could not contract at all and lost all feeling in my left forearm on the radial side (radialis?)

i still have this tingly/burning sensation when i touch a part of my forearm but everything else is better..

still doing PT but at least i can start training legs for now right

Toxic, you should just get a membership there to be a pain in the ass. Dirt cheap and just do what you want until they run you off. Could be fun.

5th lumbar vertib. rotation and you're gonna train legs?

its better now..and getting better...i'm still in PT

i didn't expect to go in and throw 225 on the bar...

just 4 or 5 sets on the peg press maybe 3 sets of squats with 135...some leg curls..and then finish off with abs and lower back

I've been considering quitting deadlifting, Toxi. Lots of horror stories. Unfortunately, it's one of my better lifts because I'm a knuckledragger, so it's a nice ego boost.

What's your view on deads after your injury? Drop 'em altogether or carry on and take care?

you probably still outweigh the average male member by 20lbs and probably stronger....

Toxic - I live in Rockville, MD. Where do you live?

There are two Golds in Rockville! One is small and a little "yuppy" the other is a little bigger and has a number of national level bodybuilders who train there!

so if you're gonna go do a light leg workout, why do you need to yell and grunt?

well i yapped ror a good 20 mins (which cooled me down) and then STILL yapping bent down to get ready for a 405 lift..and surprise...i ws wayyy off center when i tried to pull..

lesson learned....DONT YAP during workouts
