The belt squat machine keeps me using that hot waterless gym. Brand new facility, looks like about 2 million sunk into the structure, multiple pieces of state of the art equipment, 24 hr sports on giant tv screens, individual shower rooms (aka suites), and still no hot water. Only pluses are that it costs $10 a month and I don’t sweat much on leg days.

I think one shoulder is stronger than the other. Left shoulder couldn’t do lateral raises with 15.
