I have just found this gym in Dublin, I'm pissed that I haven't found it before, its absolutly perfect, yes some people who have absolutely no clue would call it a dump.
It's actually no a gym as such but more a club Weightlifter Powerlifter Bodybuilding Wrestling Club, every members fee goes straight into the Gym it has a committee and it is not a profit making organication.
It has been around for 1935 and is straight up hardcore, in fact its so hardcore I bet it could give metroflex a run for it's money.
I have just trained in it for a couple of days, and damn I love it so much, the people working out are awesome, yesterday I saw somebody deadlift 320 kg like it was nothing, they have a deadlift platform loads of equipment I have never seen, Dumbells are huge, people are super friendly.
First Floor is streight up Powerlifting with some Dumbells on the back
Sec Floor is Bodybuilding and Wrestling
Top Floor Cardio.
It's amazing how much equipment they have.
It has a party athmopher and every time I go inside I have a flashback aka Pumping iron.

looks very good.
-
looks like a great place to train, a good gym can really motivate you and instantly become a little stronger.
-
Looks cool, i'd go there. also... a little paint never hurt anyone ;D
-
Cool poster
-
Its really intimidating first...
First time I came in there were loads of people stainding around the this guy Squating I think 7 plates each side, loads of shouting and so forth.
I guess when I know the people I get more comptable.
they all train barfood when Squating, that should tell you something about the place, fuckin great.
-
Whats with all the pretty colorful plates - ::)
-
Some of my best years of training occurred in a little hole in the wall gym like that.
-
Whats with all the pretty colorful plates - ::)
if you need to ask ::)
Ok I'll be nice, first some of the plates are different weight, I have seen some 50lbs plates, also since this is not a Gym perse but a Club they don't give a shit if all the plates are in line and in one color, they simply buy them from where ever they can, also there are lot of members who donate weight.
So you have all this amazing equipment all over the place, it's a lot of fun.

Only teasing Stark :) A plate is a plate. As long as it suits your needs, thats all that matters, bro.

Hey Stark, do you know a guy in there called Bernie Delaney, twice 90kg world champion powerlifter?
-
thats all you need, the fancy equipment gyms with rollstairs entree etc makes people lazy.
-
Would you work out there with no shoes or socks like the pumping iron 'crew' ??
-
they all train barfood when Squating
it does food too? what a place!
-
now that is a real gym. i bet they don't kick people out for grunting to loud there
-

you could vomit in the water fountain, then do 6 sets of leg press, and i doubt anyone there would care.

Absolutly, and people shouting real loud when trying to max out is very common

Stark,
I competed in a benching competition at the Hercules years ago... it was packed at the time so I didn't get a good survey of the equipment. Instead, I used to do my regular gym trip to the Atlas (once a month I make a day trip to a different gym and attempt to set a few personal bests).
Now that I'm back to my top strength levels I'm looking for another PB gym... I'd use the Hercules (which looks better than I remember it from 15 years ago) if you can answer me one question:
Do they have a seated dips machine?

-
where's the bowflex ???
-
Not a bad looking gym - certainly wouldn't complain if that's all Dublin has to offer.
-
I never understood why just because a gym is dirty, old, out dated, and probably disease infested it's 'hardcore'
-
It has been around for 1935 and is straight up hardcore dangerous
Fixed.
-
Fixed.
pussy, go train in your YMCA fag gym ;)
-
Doesn't look like a spot where a lotta hot chicks hang out.... :-X

You missed the point entirely, it's hardcore because the people in the Club are simple as that.

And thanks Christ for that, last place I want to be distracted by some middle aged attention whore is the gym.. ditto?
-

That guy?
-
hahaha, looks like the pictures struck a nerve with our little faggott queen board residents.
great find stark!
-
Looks like a serious gym where serious gains can be made. Train hard and make the most of the opportunity.
-
Any gym that keeps a full stock of bumper plates like that is bound to be a pretty decent place. I'd rather lift there than Gold's Venice or many of the other gyms folks routinely cream their jeans over.

Niet te letterlijk vertalen, jongeman. Escalator heet dat ding....

Stark,
Have fun in your first real gym. You will love it.

When I first started working out, it was at Bally's.
I got kicked out for PT a client.
Found the Apollon and never looked at another "franchise" gym to work out in.
Those dirty, dingy hole in the wall gyms usually have men and women who are serious about their workouts.
Also, friendly and willing to give advice....as long as you know when the right time is to ask.

-

The guy is insane strong, I have only seen him once lift and it was amazing.
He is really nice as well.
Especially since I didn't had a clue who he was and he never mentioned the fact that he competing in the world championship
-
Stark,
Have fun in your first real gym. You will love it.

nukkaready and knny187
Both of you cannot stop bitching about the people in your gym and how retarded they Trainers are and how stupid the music is (just to name a view)
But still on the other hand you have a problem with a place were you have none of the above... sound to me you guys are bitching for the reason to bitch... woman do that sort of things, so my advice here is, grow some balls ;)
-
A hardcore trainer's dream come true!
Sweet. 8) Please tell me they turn off the airconditioning during the summer and the heat during the winter. That would go well with the rusting, but colored plates.
-
This gym will be perfect without heating system, airco, showers and lockers.
-
ugly gym attracts ugly people... pretty gym attracts pretty people.
So which one do you train at???

Very nice. Do you communicate with your fellow lifters by grunts and dirty looks? Like grunt once for yes, and twice for no, and three times for a spot? Scowl at someone when they're trying to do curls in the squat rack?

At the rate it's going, that junk will probably be bought out by hajis and torn down for a new mosque. hahahahahaha
And you still don't get it, I didn't think you were trying to humor me, and neither did I ask for information. I was insulting you and your dump.
Now go figure out how you'll start another meaningless thread.

Another modern "male", feminized by the mother.

not the mother but society... in todays society we (the men) cannot be man anymore, we have to be a crossbreed between a pussywipped metrosexual sensitive guy and a Pitbull.
I say fuck it.. I'm matcho and I like it, and the woman who are so over emancipated are not worth fucking in the first place.

TRUE words.
Men are men and women are women.
Some things, men are good at, some things women. If a woman achieves something by showing her titties, she's smart because she uses men's weknesses against him! But then, she should also be aware that she has to clean up afterwards. ;D ;D

You put that rather well there Donkey my friend, and may I remind you that in any case the fist (as in physical power) rules this world and unless you aren't sticking to these very simple rules (a real man hits his woman below the belt line) woman have nothing to fear from us.:D
