Title: How many of you have a few guys with you at all times in the gym
Post by: ratherbebig on February 13, 2019, 11:07:11 AM
helping you get the dumbbells in place before you press, unloading the machines etc ?

i think that when you've paid your dues in the gym, one day they just appear and do that shit, outta respect.

im not there yet myself, but im looking forward to that day.

Never,if you can’t get bells in place you need to lift harder.I e always picked up my own bells no problem and put down without dropping and I can load my own barbells and machines.

If they appeared I’d tel them to get lost.

youre not going to get any respect unless you have an entourage, that would be like rich piana going to an expo without the 5 percenters

This. I always employ a dedicated group of professionals to assist me as I heroically pick things up and put them down.👍

Pic brings back a great memory, one that for me is my proudest moment lifting!

I moved to MN, and went to the White Bear Gold's Gym for the first time many years ago.  When I went in the back portion of the gym, I noticed they still had 100# plates.  I hadn't seen those anywhere for 10yrs.  I was looking around to see what else was back there, and couldn't believe the size of some of the dbells along the wall.  I walked over to see what they went up to, and they had 200's.  I've never seen ones over 150 which the gym I worked at had where I moved from, and I could do one-arms with for 15-20 easily depending on how I felt.  It took me 3 back workouts to build up the courage to try rowing the 200, hoping I wouldn't fail and look stupid.  I hit them for a set of 8, and was stoked!  Funny thing is that since I'm so damn short, the hardest part was actually trying to re-rack the fucking thing after I did the second side, and was wrapped to it with my strap.  If anyone on here has/does train there and it's still the same, that place has the tallest d-bell rack I've ever seen....is it still a Gold's or did it change/close?

I know exactly what you mean.  First time at a new gym and I'm the only guy in Depends™ with a walker and couple of young guys are watching me train.  The very next day the same two guys show up with both and ask if they can work in on the HummerFitness Adductor Machine.   ;) ;D

I'm the loner guy in da gym.  Seems guys go for a social life. I go to work when I'm there. I talk with people but very minimally. Since I'm a get bigger I do pay a couple guys to say holy shit when I lift.

Well slap my ass and call me Mary, but, I tend to get the opposite reaction.

Perhaps it's the left over fart fumes and ball sweat that causes them to make a hasty retreat? :D
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  maybe it's because i use soap on occasion.

Other than rowing one that time, 200# dbs are/and never were something I was capable of doing anything else with. 

My biggest fear was I'd tear my bicep trying that much with one arm.  Having the memory, and knowing I could do them was good enough for me.  I don't recall ever using beyond 170's while there after that....and that was still for rows only.  I've never done anything else with above 125's.  BP's of any kind, have never been a strong point for me.

When I moved back, the gym I worked at got rid of dbells over 100, and banned DL's.  >:(  The 24 Hour I switched to only had 125's, so I haven't done anything more than that for 15 years.  I'm not even close to using those at this point. :'(
