I Side With LA Fitness - don't slam the weights!

[The_Hammer]

I side with LA Fitness on this matter!

A real test of strength is putting the weight slowly back down, like Bill Kazmaier always use to do.

Don't slam the fucking weights!

[flipper5470]

I can see dropping a weight if you've done a heavy explosive movememnt like the snatch or power clean...if you have bumper plates and enough room...but otherwise just dropping weights like a pair of dumbells is a pussy move that's more show than anything else

[NarcissisticDeity]

It's these clowns that want attention who throw the weights , notice they will look around after they do it looking to see who is watching

[ukjeff]

assholes dropping weights and shouting, scourge of any gym.
"Pass me a dumbell, mate?"
No, if you cant pick them up yourself they are too heavy for you.

[MP]

LA Fitness is for fags. Hope this helps.

[mesmorph78]

I agree but there a difference between dropping a weight and throwing down a weight for attention
With dumbells if your lifting heavy and going to failure then the weight will drop sometimes

[ukjeff]

Weights make noise, its a certain type of noise that signifies an asshole.
You get the normal gym noise then a certain frequency of noise rears its head, thats the asshole.

[chaos]

Lots of guys lifting little weights in this thread.

[MONSTER_TRICEPS]

Try cleaning 300 pounds and then "slowly put down" the weights. 

[orion]

Branch would fit in well there.

[bigbadwolfe]

And thats why we opened our own place! Fuck commercial gyms and their commnunist ways!

[HTexan]

I know he was doing that to be a dick.
But, how can you break a cast iron coated in rubber plate by dropping it? She should have claimed it would break the floor. lol

Back belt for holding fat belly in = fail

Agree with the policy of LA Fitness. Always some want-to-be big fish in a little pond (LA Fitness, etc) who tends to make the most noise, seek the most attention or wants everything on his own terms.. Mats, or not, most of those floors (some on the second or third floors) were not designed/reinforced for heavy pounding. The owners/managers have a money investment, heavy insurance contracts and leasing responsibilities; all the price of doing business in the commercial gym industry. Plus an increasing tax rate, which seems to be going up, month by month.

When training, really no good  reason to drop weights, just to prove how heavy they are by the sound they make hitting the floor. Lots can be said for negative control of a weight and the benefits gain by that. Which few BB'ers seem to understand.

If really serious about lifting heavy, there are quite a few PL' ng or Olympic training sites around. They are all equipped for very heavy and abusive lifting. The moment you walk into one, the sounds of plates hitting the floor or PR's, seems to go on forever.

If you have to drop dumbbells at the end of your it means one of two things.....either you're an idiot and deserve to get kicked out or they're too heavy.

Yup. The guy in the video isn't going to join a power lifting type gym because he's a weak c*unt. 

[Hulkotron]

Brutal wearing a belt to deadlift 315 for 4 at LA Fitness while having a sloppy gut

[tommywishbone]

Zydrunas pulls 940 pounds and no one even watches, cares, or knows who he is.      That's a hardcore gym.

[POB]

Haha

Spoken like a true queer. LA fitness has some of the best hoes out there but yes also tons of Twinks go there to

[SF1900]

That dudes a beast.

So how's a man to put down heavy dumbbells after incline or shoulder presses? A person might be able to press the dumbbells but not neatly place them on the floor like 20lbs dumbbells; does that really mean they are "too heavy"?

[The Abdominal Snoman]

I bet the guy doing the dead lifts told his buddy filming that the blond chick wants him. That she is amazed with how much he can lift. That is of course before she came over and made him look like a fool.lol

Shoulder press and inclines are easy to set down, flat is more difficult.
