Dear T-Nation,
I hope this question finds you well. I thought this would be the appropriate forum for this question because I am finding it difficult to find a deadlift-friendly gym in west LA or the west valley. Scott Mendelsohn used to be close by, but he’s pretty far from me now. Others say UCLA Wooden Center, but I am not an alum or a student. All I know is that I want to deadlift 500lbs and sometimes that makes a bit of noise, and most gyms aren’t down with it here.
There are crossfit gyms, but sadly those are full of crossfitters and I doubt they want a non-crossfitter messing with their ‘vibe’.
I have googled the shit out of this, and ironically one of the only things I could find was a post on this site from about 5 years ago.
If anyone can recommend somewhere were I can lift a little bit of weight without pissing anyone off I would be ever-so-grateful.
