Is the pizza all-you-can-eat on “Pizza Night?”
Because if so, $10 is pretty damn good for all-you-can eat Pizza, even if it was only once a month. Could you, theoretically just come in and eat a shitload of pizza and leave?[/quote]

I agree, best post

When this day happens, I will make my home gym dream a reality…as long as I have the spare 20 grand…
135 lbs deadlift? Are you an ethnic person in a predominately white neighborhood or something and the lift was really a bullshit excuse to get you up out of there?
why is everyone setting the lunk alarm off except HM?
I used to lift at a Planet Fitness. You can craft a decent workout by taking advantage of the wording of their rules and by chumming it up with the staff a bit. You can’t do deadlifts, but you can still do front squats, cleans, snatches, etc. It’s a pretty…I don’t want to say “gay”, because I know some pretty tough gay dudes, but it’s a very feminine environment. Lots of No Doubt and Britney Spears playing on the PA, stuff like that. But that kind of helped my workouts because I was ANGRY the whole time haha
I wonder if you can set the lunk alarm off by farting too loudly?

…I deadlift at the PF I go to. I just don’t drop it after each lift but since its not rubber plates I wouldn’t drop it at any gym. I haven’t seen anyone else do standard deadlifts but lots of people there including the trainers do stiff leg deadlifts with lighter loads. Bent over rows are done. Power cleans. I’ve seen a guy squat 8 plates at the PF I go to.
I guess the one I go to is the exception, I would quit PF too if it didn’t let me deadlift.

900x2 to Sinead O’Connor - Nothing compares 2u. That’s enough mental focus to bend spoons in the restaurant down the street

I went once with my sister and set it off by burping so I’d bet safely on yes…
I know plenty of people who are a perfect fit with Planet Fitness. It would actually be a step up from their current fitness routines/lack of routines. They already eat tootsie rolls, pizza, etc. they’re half way there.
I hate PF, they can go fuck them selves
Planet Fitness is perfect. It is a place where people like my Aunt and Mother can go, lift a few weights and walk on a treadmill without being at my gym, fucking up my flow standing around and using a DB bench that I otherwise could have used.
I understand that most T-nationers prefer to train at other gyms but why the rabid hate? Why not go your way in peace and train at another gym that suits your style?
When I have sex, I prefer women. But I don’t develop a rabid hate toward men. I’m just not attracted…just sayin’

I deadlift at PF…
Hit 455 today!
I don’t drop, isn’t the negative the best part?
I do think if I did drop I would get kicked out…

Ho-lee-shit!!!
Ah lads, seriously… how can that place be related to anything health orientated??!
Fuck! And I was taking the piss out of a few workers at my new gym because they have a shop area that sells coffee, and also has mars bars and some other shit!
But fricken pizza?! Free pizza!
Wrong…all wrong
it’s not so bad at the PF in VT. normally, i train at a gym but on occasion i hit PF for stair master w/ my lady.
the particular PF near me has it’s sack somewhat still. Crazy dude from Trinidad doing standing overhead BB presses w/ 275lbs, PL friend doing 365lbs for reps and 405 for a few. i actually did partial DL on the smith machine working up to sets of 460lbs x 5.
no lunks. the gym blows but w/ some duct tape and staff that turns a blind eye it’s ok for 10 bucks a month.
I think I would be forces to thrash someone if they actually set that off on me. PF is the antithesis of a gym

Seen many vids of that guy he’s A BEAST. Anyways stop hating on Planet Fitness, it’s my gym!!! Haters all you!!! Notice my complimentary shirt?!
Psych! My friend goes there and he gave me a shirt (more to mock it), I get comments on it all the time when going to my Powerhouse gym and other neighboring gyms lmao. He told me his dumbbells only go up to a whopping 40 lbs. LOL and he’s not a very serious lifter and he has set it off two times. I think on the 3rd one he gets a suspension/write up or something hahaha Than after that he gets kicked out.
Did you find out the asshole who tattled on you? Are you going to beat him up under the bleachers?
i work out at PF as well (unemployed. don’t judge.) i usually go in the middle of the day when it’s not particularly crowded. i deadlift with one of the (only) two barbells they have ALL THE TIME. i intentionally drop the weight. i’m hell bent on setting off that alarm, but have come to realize that the management and staff really don’t give a fuck what you do there. the manager has walked past myself and the only one other person who i’ve seen DL there (and he does like 400# compared to my wimpy 155…and drops the bar occasionally) and has never said a word.
i’m guessing it’s bc he knows i could kick his ass. haha 
also, i have a spare PF XL t-shirt if anyone wants it!
