The camaraderie was awesome,everyone helped everyone else,pushed each other in the gym,spotted each other,encouraged each other to train harder,it was a good time and I see none of this in todays gyms at all.
Just a bunch of twinks on big blue balls doing stupid and dangerous exercises with light weight.
After training we`d all go out and eat,on the weekends we`d hit the beach or the clubs,visit a strange gym, and train.
Most of the gyms were populated by athletes,bodybuilders,arm wrestlers,Olympic weightlifters,powerlifters...............now they are filled with anyone right off the street and nobody knows jackshit about how to train.,and their all plugged into their headphones.
