That’s the question I have: I wanna get bigger first and foremost, and in accordance with that goal I put alot of effort into getting stronger. However, training powerlifting only is not what I’m about.

So, assuming that I train seriously and do go through the occasional strength-focused cycles, but still directly train arms and abs and such, how would a guy like me fit in at a place like that?

I wanna train at a place that bleeds intensity and focus and blasts heavy music, but because I’m not a powerlifter I don’t wanna get shit-talked behind my back.

What do you guys think, honestly?[/quote]

If you are focused and (intelligently) busting your ass, that is all that counts.

I finally got some pics of the gym. They are still painting things and getting the place fixed up. It looks a litte rough.

Here are the 2 Forza regulation benches

Got Wood?

DBs that go past 80 lbs!!

Basic pulldown, pullup and crossover station. The pec dec in the back is a good place to set wrist wraps and ammonia.

I got the MOST crooked flat top in the history of mankind. As soon as got home it was all buzzed off. :frowning: Look like it will be a month before I have another flat top. I think I’ll look for a barber near the Air National Guard base.

Yup, that is an awesome gym.

Btw, 4est you look a lot tougher with the buzzed look. I think that’s your new doo from now on.

Dude, where’s the aerobics room and swiss balls? Nothing but nonfunctional training.

Here are a 4 more pics from the gym on bench day. Too bad these were taken with a camera phone and totally suck.

Tony, a gym co-owner doing, 3 board presses. Terry, the other owner, is holding the boards and Curtis is spotting.

Cool thread 4est. Sounds like you are having a great time!

this is crap, I don’t want to read about your gym with all its hardcoredness as I prepare to hit the gym with a bunch of 150 lbs 20 years olds who spend the whole time doing curls in front of the dumbell rack…but congrats on finding a decent gym, my search continues.

Looks like a very cool gym. There is nothing like that where I live !!!
