I'm not like a "construction worker" (sorry Che), I only drop dumbbells after finishing a set of decline presses (sorry Musclecenter)

When I used to go to golds years back it never bothered me because those bastards were moving some serious weight...everybody had power even the broads.

The gym closed and I started going to ballys type gyms.....it started to irritate me then because these clowns had no business even trying to lift shit so heavy. Nobody there was even of decent size. Made no sense and never will.

I miss that golds gym man even though the owner hauled ass and stole our money lmao.

Try benching dumbells over 120lbs without letting them drop on the floor.

If you don't drop weights that means you're a weak bitch.

Someone post that branch warren vid where he's tossing weights everywhere

lol.....hahahahha.....I love that Branch Warren video.......they were dropping plates everywhere....at onne time, one of the plates almost hit his foot.....that would have been truly hardcore to see his face if that plate landed on his toe.......

some gold's are perfect to have the type of no-nonsense workout.....I know this Gold's in DC where the weeight room is in the basement and they don't give a fuck who drop weights or not, but there is a sign on the wall that says "for those of you who drop dumbbells, just be aware that a fee will be imposed on your monthly payment".......lol

lol @ lifting weights

Obvious Gimmick · « **Reply #34 on:** February 14, 2012, 06:01:58 AM »

yes, the dropping wieghts crowd is usually the wifebeater and sunglasses crew. They want all the gym hotties to see their bad ass 35lb shoulder presses.

note: this is also the 2 in. ROM crowd

Flat DB press is the only time I drop the db's...just can't sit up with all that extra weight.

I do that too. Im talking about the studs that will drop them from the top of DB Curls / shoulder presses etc.

DB Inclines for me,but I get them as close to the floor as possible before I let them go.

There`s no excuse to throw dumbells,plates,or to ever drop a barbell.

I love that environment..the dirty, gritty gym. 45s with rust on them, chalk stations, belts tossed in a pile in the corner by the squat racks, head nods with no words, the crowd around the guy getting him psyched for his massive ass dead lift attempt, cracks in the leather duck taped, earning respect by lifting hard and heavy even alone and not missing a day for months....bringing a fking tear to my eye.

Man I'm just glad I was there to catch the tail end of that era. I'm only 34, but started lifting with the old school cats at young age. I got so used to that environment. I workout in my garage now. Only got account for the gym when I travel now. Even then I just cardio and leave. Very depressing environments....no brotherhood now...no aggression.

the young bros are lost in there with no guidance now

You should start like tossing a bunch of little 5lb plates on the floor and yell allot. That should stir it up. ha ha ha ha

This reminds me of a story for years back. I was training with my bud and we were doing a heavy chest cylce of db inclines, cable crosses, and finished off with dips. My bud went til failure plus 3 forced reps on the inclines to start, and after this set he dropped the bells from shoulder height. So the owner's son came over to us and shouted at him not to do that again. Anyways, my bud just a kept on pushing through this heavy cylce and completely ignored him

And guess who the owner's son was? Bob Lorimer, son of Jim Lorimer, this cat who co-runs the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio.

only places in the US now that are hardcore where you will be pushed are anywhere there are decent amount of lifters/pros, prison or a high school or college training facility.

Everything else is lifter friendly/social hour after work. Its ok just not my cop of tea. Let me stop my bitchin.

At my college, the guy who ran the gym didn't allow hats. Well, I was known for my Kangols, so I said "eff that!"

Probably school enforced.....I do remember in high school and college they didn't allow athletes or students to lift with any hats other than school appeal type.

Exactly. I remember back to when I started. All the older lifters who weren't tossing weights etc. Lifting wasnt an ego driven thing back then it seemed.

Nowadays you have young high school "lifters" who come in and act like dipshits.

I miss the old days .

True man they had no ego...as a matter of fact, they pushed one another. I remember like yesterday when I first hit 205 as a teen trying to get stronger ,how they welcomed me to the club lol.

I'd watch them lift as a teen, they would go hard then tell me to get my ass under the bar, they added more weights, got in my mind, told me it was only weight, almost like they saw what I didn't see. I was a great athlete but never touched a weight until like 15....those dudes in the gym, the dudes in the hood...etc pushed me.

They took pride in seeing me level up. As a freshman I was big as the seniors on the football team....I ran the ball extra hard for those bitches lol.

The good old days man.
