I side with LA Fitness on this matter!
A real test of strength is putting the weight slowly back down, like Bill Kazmaier always use to do.
Don't slam the fucking weights!
-
I can see dropping a weight if you've done a heavy explosive movememnt like the snatch or power clean...if you have bumper plates and enough room...but otherwise just dropping weights like a pair of dumbells is a pussy move that's more show than anything else
-
It's these clowns that want attention who throw the weights , notice they will look around after they do it looking to see who is watching :-\
-
-
assholes dropping weights and shouting, scourge of any gym.
"Pass me a dumbell, mate?"
No, if you cant pick them up yourself they are too heavy for you.
-
LA Fitness is for fags. Hope this helps.
-
I agree but there a difference between dropping a weight and throwing down a weight for attention
With dumbells if your lifting heavy and going to failure then the weight will drop sometimes
-
Weights make noise, its a certain type of noise that signifies an asshole.
You get the normal gym noise then a certain frequency of noise rears its head, thats the asshole.
-
Lots of guys lifting little weights in this thread.
-
Try cleaning 300 pounds and then "slowly put down" the weights. ::)
-
Branch would fit in well there.
-
And thats why we opened our own place! Fuck commercial gyms and their commnunist ways!
-
I know he was doing that to be a dick.
But, how can you break a cast iron coated in rubber plate by dropping it? She should have claimed it would break the floor. lol

Back belt for holding fat belly in = fail

Agree with the policy of LA Fitness. Always some want-to-be big fish in a little pond (LA Fitness, etc) who tends to make the most noise, seek the most attention or wants everything on his own terms.. Mats, or not, most of those floors (some on the second or third floors) were not designed/reinforced for heavy pounding. The owners/managers have a money investment, heavy insurance contracts and leasing responsibilities; all the price of doing business in the commercial gym industry. Plus an increasing tax rate, which seems to be going up, month by month.
When training, really no good reason to drop weights, just to prove how heavy they are by the sound they make hitting the floor. Lots can be said for negative control of a weight and the benefits gain by that. Which few BB'ers seem to understand.
If really serious about lifting heavy, there are quite a few PL' ng or Olympic training sites around. They are all equipped for very heavy and abusive lifting. The moment you walk into one, the sounds of plates hitting the floor or PR's, seems to go on forever.
-
If you have to drop dumbbells at the end of your it means one of two things.....either you're an idiot and deserve to get kicked out or they're too heavy.

Yup. The guy in the video isn't going to join a power lifting type gym because he's a weak c*unt.
-
Brutal wearing a belt to deadlift 315 for 4 at LA Fitness while having a sloppy gut :D
-
Zydrunas pulls 940 pounds and no one even watches, cares, or knows who he is. :D That's a hardcore gym.

Spoken like a true queer. LA fitness has some of the best hoes out there but yes also tons of Twinks go there to

That dudes a beast.

So how's a man to put down heavy dumbbells after incline or shoulder presses? A person might be able to press the dumbbells but not neatly place them on the floor like 20lbs dumbbells; does that really mean they are "too heavy"?
-
I bet the guy doing the dead lifts told his buddy filming that the blond chick wants him. That she is amazed with how much he can lift. That is of course before she came over and made him look like a fool.lol

Shoulder press and inclines are easy to set down, flat is more difficult.

Great video!

well, if you're repping with 200lbs dumbbells and you just barely completed your 12 reps, I'm not sure if you'll be able to quietly put the weight down. I just have a problem with those pissant Gym rats looking for attention....those are the ones I wanna strangle and kick out of the Gym
-

LOL yeah sometimes they barely even move their head but you can still seem them looking around thru the sides of their eyes

How about dropping a 100+ lb dumbbell right after doing a set of standing 2 handed tricep extensions? ???

I'm not a monster, but I can maneuver that amount of weight on seated overhead extensions without dropping it. Shift it to your shoulder, then to your knee, then to the floor. Same with dumbbell bench, I roll forward a bit and use momentum to put them vertically on my legs, then stand up. If you have to drop the weight in a deadlift, or bounce it off the ground to gain momentum, you're just ego lifting.

why would you do that standing, back not supported..

I don't know but it'd be a helluva show when he dropped that big sumbitch!! 8)

These are the same kind of idiots that will load up 8 plates a side on the leg press machine. Slap the plates on forcefully so as to get attention, then proceed to leg press with a rage of motion of about 6 inches. Then immediately jump off the leg press and walk to the water fountain, looking at themselves in the mirror the entire way, then back again for another half ass set.
-
I understand not dropping or throwing dumbbells after a set. How do you put a barbell down gently doing deadlifts? Put 405 on the bar and do some reps. Can you really quietly put the bar down for every rep?
-
With Cleans, you can lower them less noisily if you break them on your thigh first-
.
That being said, if you're going to allow deadlifts and other big lifts, you'll have noise. They should have a platform or two set up.
-
When your my size which isn`t big, and inclining the 100`s, try putting them down easy.
I lower them as close to the ground as possible, and drop them................no gym is gonna` pay for my shoulder surgery.
Oh yeah,gay thread reported!!

Bring them to your chest, turn them, set them on your thighs and stand up. Easy.

Bingo! No different then playing the car stereo full blast with all the WINDOWS OPEN.

Aint nothing wrong with LA FITNESS, Your comparing it too Planet fitness. Id rather go to these kinds of gyms simply because they have more Equipment/machine options and having that makes you able to change up your routine. Yes, alot of bodybuilding douchebags tend to flock to these kinds of gyms to " mark thier territory "/show others that they can " lift heavy " and are " hardcore ", but i think weve all done that.

all of you are queers

I was actually thinking about Planet. I've worked out in a few. Never again.
I've never been to an LA Fitness.
Regardless, there's going to be some noise when lifting heavy weights. If the gym can't deal with it, time to find another gym ... in my opinion.
-
Anyone that hasn't slammed/dropped weights has never lifted heavy. Plain & simple.
You can't bench 100+ dumbells & gently let them back on the floor. Or deadlift over 3 plates a side without making noise.
What the fuck is it with people now a days?
Those are the normal sounds you should hear in the gym! Iron plates being slapped around...

exactly. at some point you will make noise training heavy. you just need to keep it to a normal level and not act like a douche

True, but you're also smart enough to not show up at a fluff gym and start throwing weights around or joining and trying to change the rules. This fool in the video not only needs to go on a diet but most likely needs a shrink and stop listening to Layne Norton who is such an attention whore, ripped his shirt off inside a church and started flexing. True story :-\
-

Dude,combined weight is far more than I weigh.
Tried your suggestion before though,just couldn`t handle it.................too heavy though when I`m pressing my form is impeccable,all the way up and all the way down.
I also clean the 100`s,while simultaneously flopping back on the bench hoping that I land squarely,if not I`m fucked.

I was pressing the 125lbs and dropped them. Not slammed, but put them on my knees and dropped them on the floor. My hands never came off. Some bitch at the gym comes over and says can i try not to make so much noise.
Bitch please!!!! Asked her if she has ever done the 125's???

I get that but incline and shoulders can be set on your quads first, flats are more difficult 130 and up I tend to drop.

AGREED!!!! Doing flat dumbbells, you have to drop them

Nice to see there actually are some intelligent posters on getbig that can think for once. Good post!

I don't know, 3 plates is a pretty serious amount of weight. No true Iron Warrior is going to risk horrific injury by lowering that kind of mamoth poundage slowly and under control.
