I'm out of town right now in a little town and today two really skinny guys were benching 225 and 275 repsectively for reps. Three other big guys were handling tons of weight too, which I NEVER see where I'm from. I'm starting to believe that maybe these strength beasts do exist in other cities. To put things into perspective, I have the whole gym watching when I deadlift or squat over 400 and bench over 300. It is that damn rare where I'm from. So maybe I just live in a very lazy town, even though the population is over 100,000.
I think it all depends on the gym. my old gym there were guys that were crazy strong. at my current gym if you put 315 on the incline, there will be an audience.
You should go to the gym at 6 in the morning like I do, no one gives a shit what you are doing, it's just fatasses on the cardio shit and there is always someone who works there not doing a damn thing so you can grab a spot.
