Matt – Thank you for pointing that out. I live near Philadelphia. I will start asking around. Your post reminded me that powerliftingwatch.com has a list of “powerlifting gyms”. I checked one out today from that list.
It had dumbells up to 180 lbs, several power cages, a glute ham raise, 100 lbs plates, good rates, no binding contract, mostly york equipment with no rubber (heh), and a solid pullup bar. Very little bullshit in the place. Privately owned, too. The only downside is I didn’t see enough floorspace to safely do any olympic lifting. Unless I see something better, this place looks like a win.[/quote]
Sounds like a winner. Unless you are a weightlifter, who cares about olympic weightlifting…
