Hey T-Men,
I dont know if you guys remember my rant on the changes at my gym. Basically it has become a pussified comercial slap in the face to all t-men. Well I was doing fine improvising using the curl bars for my free weight exercises. Thankfully they kept alot of the plates because of the legpress, but they have now removed even the curl bars. Now all there is is a mass of useless machines. And where I ask are all the fat bodies that are supposed to be using this shit. Nowhere they have driven the good T-men and athletes out and the people supposed to be using the equipment don’t even GO! *!%$#$%^%$ I Give UP
Time to find another place to train. Or start building your own home gym!
Obviously, they’ve made a business decision to change their client base. That means they don’t want you there. I’d take that as, “lift like a pussy or get out!” I’d get out.
See if they are going to sell their “free weights” Buy’em from them and set up your own home gym. You should be able to get them cheap.
do they have a smith machine?
Yes they do have a smith machine but I was under the impression that those are worthless too. I guess one just has to move on but it kind of hurts since it was my colleges gym and I could go for free. Anyway is this smith machine even worth my time and energy?
hey JAS, if it was your college’s gym, then it probably wasn’t free. actually, it still isn’t even if you don’t work out there. your student fees are paying for the equipment and maintenance. find out who’s in charge and bitch, bitch, bitch.
Yes the gym was already being paid for by my tuition money. And guess what, whoever is in control just purchased a bunch of spinning bikes too…this is some kind of conspiracy. I heard that the reason they did it was because free weights are for bodybuilders and they didn’t want to make women feel uncomfortable by big muscley guys…what kind of crap is that! Its like they are taking a gender preference on how everyone should lift weights. I mean 30# dbs give me a break. They also told me to write a letter to the president which I fully intend to do.
Pur buddy Nate is right! Buy your own if you can afford, or find a different place. I own the only xhiropractic office with a reverse hyper, power rack, glute ham, and drag sled, along with other goodies try to find that in a commercial gym!
Roughly where is your practice? Thanks. 
You guys are right. But I have to keep the costs down. I can get my buddies old bench press with 400lbs plates, it can do incline and decline too. I figure I can do some kind of squat if I set it to incline or do overheads. Also I have a pullup bar in my doorway and can do parralel dips. I guess Ill also try some functional training with sandbags, one of my buddies kegs, and Ill make my own sled for pulls. I guess there was no need to bitch after all.
a small town in pa. called Shenandoah. It’s about 20 miles north of Pottsville and 20 south of Hazleton. It’s off of interstate 81. I bought the stuff over a few years as I had the room and got tired of gyms. I try to keep in decent shape, but haven’t gone in a meet for awhile.
Thanks man.
Hey man you ever see that movie falling down? I think that is about exactly the course of action i woiuld take in the situation. Especially the use of a rocket launcher.
