I have posted pictures of the Ground floor last time, now it's time to show you guys some of the upper floor.
The Hercules Gym has been around since 1935, needles to say this gym has a lot of Charisma and a long History of Weightlifting.
It is in fact a Powerlifting/Bodybuilding and Wrestling Club with a Committee.
I have read that shit Gold Gym is pulling and thought I share some images of a gym I consider a jewel, a dying breed.\




The Gym has some very unusual machines and Equipment:
With this one for example you can train your Gripping power and your forearms.


Since it is a Powerlifting gym it has all this cool equipment like this Bench standing around, I believe it's a Powerlifting Bench, very easy to adjust the height and quit save.



Also who ever here is deadlifting knows this one comes in handy when you want to change the wheels.



The walls are full with images like these (I wonder if Milos or Shawn agree to be on one wall)



This one is quit funny as well, natural Physique?



This is the upper floor, due to a row we have with the neighboors nobody is allowed to train after 19:00 downstairs but as you can see
there is plenty of equipment upstairs as well.






This is the shoulderpress that just gave up and nearly landed me in a hospital :D



For Squating:




This here is the Wrestlers area, its quit big.





For all that haven't seen the ground floor, here they are:

























where is this gym located?

Other than some of the rusted equipment which needs to be sanded down and painted or just replaced, I think its a kick ass gym especially with the changer machine when you're wanting to add weight for your deadlifts.

Gym has a lot of character in it.  Its obviously one of a kind and not one of those franchise type gyms.  I would train there.


Whoever made the comment about it being a shithole problably works out at Bally's or some other wuss gym   
hahahaha, "changer machine", oh brother. ;D

great pics, reminds me of my first gym. If there were a gym like that nearby I'd go there instead of training at home.

You serious? it's as I have said a non profit making organization also better known as a club, all money goes straight into the club for new things new toys to play.
So yes of course there is a committee ::)

You are absolutely right, we don't have dumbells heavier than 60kilos I think, but let's face it if you do them right you don't need
heavier dumbells.

I think the only one using heavier dumbells are the couple of guys that are "amateur BB" I think we have a couple who not only train for the fuck of it but also participated in the Mr Ireland ect.
I personaly lol seriously don't need anything heavier than 50 kg DBs.

you must be a real beast Starks

The Hercules Gym has been around since 1935, needles to say this gym has a lot of Charisma and a long History of Weightlifting.
It is in fact a Powerlifting/Bodybuilding and Wrestling Club with a Committee.
I have read that shit Gold Gym is pulling and thought I share some images of a gym I consider a jewel, a dying breed.\




The Gym has some very unusual machines and Equipment:
With this one for example you can train your Gripping power and your forearms.


Since it is a Powerlifting gym it has all this cool equipment like this Bench standing around, I believe it's a Powerlifting Bench, very easy to adjust the height and quit save.



Also who ever here is deadlifting knows this one comes in handy when you want to change the wheels.



The walls are full with images like these (I wonder if Milos or Shawn agree to be on one wall)



This one is quit funny as well, natural Physique?



This is the upper floor, due to a row we have with the neighboors nobody is allowed to train after 19:00 downstairs but as you can see
there is plenty of equipment upstairs as well.






This is the shoulderpress that just gave up and nearly landed me in a hospital :D



For Squating:




This here is the Wrestlers area, its quit big.





For all that haven't seen the ground floor, here they are:























That gym is a flee infested, diseased dump.
