Good looking gym Goudy - the sort of place I can get lost in the moment in.

Decent size to the arm too - how big is it?

What's the problem with chest? I can't train chest either, injury.

Old school cool. That angled leg press must be a pain to load/unload.

if someone gets hurt, how does the owner manages it without a signed contract/warranty ?

a contract can be oral, written or through conduct. You are given a monthly paper membership card. he also keeps a copy for himself.

If you get hurt you put a plaster on rest until its better then come back down. No need to sue for everything.

pec/armpic area was fucked badly...seems almost better enoughto train though i am waiting till monday just to be safe and benching a onster 200lbs 5x5 hopefully lol if i can.

That angled leg press is a fucking curse to load espec when plates are cold and damp they freeze together lol. Some stronger guiys load a barbell across it to add extra weight

JasonH · « **Reply #31 on:** February 17, 2009, 01:39:01 PM »

I trained in a gym with a leg press like that a few years ago - your fingers get a workout just from loading and unloading the damn thing.

Cool, dude. Reminds me of this joint I used to train at when I was a kid...I can also see how those stupid "tap out" fuckers could get in your way.

If they were gonna snap they should have snapped by now lol...but yes i was leg pressing today and had to do it in socks as the platform you press your feet with was moist with dew and was slippy lol

Honestly, you get the award for most hardcore getbigger.

I don't think anyone would disagree.

Ursus · « **Reply #38 on:** February 17, 2009, 01:59:19 PM »

jtsunami · « **Reply #39 on:** February 17, 2009, 03:05:07 PM »

lol back to the future, dude its time to goto a real new gym with nice stuff, you would be suprised how nice it is to have a new cardio equitment, pool steam room for after workout sessions etc,

danielson · « **Reply #40 on:** February 17, 2009, 03:07:07 PM »

Why would anyone choose to train in a filthy outdated shithole?

wavelength · « **Reply #41 on:** February 17, 2009, 03:07:54 PM »

mixed sauna is a must, I would agree to that

MuscleMcMannus · « **Reply #42 on:** February 17, 2009, 03:12:32 PM »

Nothing wrong with old equipment but looks like a bunch of lazy fucks workout there. Nobody seems to pick shit up. Looks crowded too. But the old school equipment is cool and all you need! 20 pounds a month? LOL what a scam though! I'd pay 5 pounds a month for a place like that. I pay $40 a month for a brand new commerical gym here in the US.

Ursus · « **Reply #43 on:** February 17, 2009, 03:14:39 PM »

100lb metal 50yr old dumbells weigh the same as 100lb rubber coated dumbells.

Plus its so convenient, 3 inute walk from my work. i train then dander around to work.

It is old and rusty but not that dirty.

The owner and the only staff member is a 71yr old man. No point in him trying to tidy as 30mins later its a mess again though occassionally ill tidy up weights and he tidy's up before hometime

That's my point. People should be cleaning up after themselves. I see that shit all the time in the gyms I've belonged to. It's laziness and if I owned a gym I'd get on people about it.

Ursus · « **Reply #45 on:** February 17, 2009, 03:20:05 PM »

Its easier for plates to be scattered all over the place than in one corner. E.g if someone is on the incline bench and teh plates are up near dumbells carrying plates would be a pain in the ass.

I wont lie i leave plates at my ass but at least not in the middle of where people walk. I dont leave dumbells lying about though

In that gym there is too little storage room for all the weights though. I understand what you mean in other gyms that do have the space for proper storage of weights. I hate when people leave bars loaded

what shitty country is that gym in?

Ursus · « **Reply #48 on:** February 17, 2009, 03:23:02 PM »

Ireland.

Correct its too small and at peak times far to busy to walk around.
