I've never understood that rule.  What difference does a tiny amount of shoe fabric make when you drop a plate on your foot?

Gyms have a tough time getting insured, so I imagine that is in the clause.

No chalk is allowed in the gym, can't leave weights on the benches upholstery and doing barbell rows with the bar between your legs is banned.

Those are the only rules on the wall and everybody fucking ignores them unless one of the staff comes around.

wtf diffrence does it make if somone is deadlifting heavy aslong as they don't drop the bar down violently.
maybe they should get some rubber plates if the meatheads want to throw the bar down.

That would be funny if a woman was benching. She sat up after a set and the husband got the child out of the gyms daycare. He then handed the child to his wife and she breast fed him right there. Everybody would drop the dumbbells lol.

omg look what I found

they have rubberplates. still if you do a set of deadlift to failure you will slamm it on the last rep/reps.

I used to have a cardio-key workout circuit by Scifit along with my practice.

You are right...it was a pain in the ass getting insured, as I recall.

As long as you warm up first to avoid neck strains.

They don't like us masturbating on the tanning bed. So why the hot and nakedish Bronzing Lotion girl on the wall?

Lol...thats a fucking joke in itself. I hate these gyms with dress code rules...as if we are back in high school. They should focus on the real rules of the gym lik put your weights away, gym ettiquete, etc. Never mind what people choose to wear.

Are you serious? Gold's, a hardcore gym that it is and has been known to be,  asked you to stop using chalk of all things? That's just not right and that manager needs to go.

My gym has nothing in the rulebook about sex on the premises.

I take that to mean it's allowed.

Unless it's two guys in the locker room.  At that moment, assault becomes perfectly legal.

No biting, no eyegouging and so on.

You can train without any clothes on your upperbody but
you must wipe the sweat of the equipment with a towel.

You can knock people out, but you must use gloves when doing it.
