No it doesn’t. I lift to failure on every lift I do and I don’t slam the weights down ever. If you were strong enough to pick it up you can put it back down too. My last rep of rack dead lifts sure as hell was hard to pick up, but I somehow managed to put it back down without slamming it.

And despite the appearance of the manager(and way to generalize) you are working out in their gym where you agreed to the rules.

I was told not to do weighted bench dips (where your arms are behind your body) because I was taking up too many benches. I said okay. Then when the manager left, I went right back to my sets.[/quote]

LOL! I love posts like this one in this thread. They kick you out, they lose business.

I can’t believe the lunk alarm looks like THAT. I thought it was just a light, so they added a sign. Won’t it be distracting for the other lifters who are trying to concentrate on their 30-lbs lying leg curls for the 27th rep?

25

the reason most gym owners tell you not to slam the weights is that dumbells will come apart after long enough if you slam them, and some of the plates would crack back in the day if you slammed them. Haven’t seen any of the newer style crack though.

26

Losers slam or drop weights after they are done. They are likely the same just-post-pubescent pricks that leave bars loaded up for others to deal with. BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST THAT HARDCORE. Faggots.

I don’t do the whole grunting thing in my gym because everyone else seems to do it. It’s just very gay to me. Someone starts it and then it’s fucking dominoes.

Shit’s not even “hardcore” anymore.

So how much “noise” does it take to set off said Lunk Alarm? And what happens, do you get a warning first or do they just kick you out? [/quote]

I’ve been trying for months and haven’t been able to do it, but I think my place in an anomaly. I dropped a 200 pound jerk onto bare floor and even that wasn’t enough.

Obviously, all you can eat= get your dirty bulk on. I think the membership is 10 bucks a month if there was one around me I might sign up just for free pizza night, I bet I could set off the lunk alarm just by eating all you can eat pizza there. I would wear a over sized NFL jersey with the sleeves cut off and a bandanna I would wear a Valeo weightlifting belt loosely around to prevent a back injury will eating pizza.

I would grab AT LEAST two boxes right from the start and if anyone asked me to work in or share I would say “stop trying to hold me down I am bulking!” I would also make caveman like sounds while chewing and belch really loud.
When throwing away my boxes I would drop them from full height onto the floor because when you eat as much as I do sometimes you just can’t gently put it in the trash! It’s called max effort for a reason bitches!

I remember reading on their site that they have jelly bellys for all members at the front desk and sometimes they serve bagels in the morning lol I’ll try to find the link

This is that attitude he was talking about. I wonder what went through your head when you wrote that comment.

I guess TC was right about humility- it’s borderline non-existant.

ROFLMAO…

It is kind of bothersome when guys drop the weights at the end of a set, usually unnecessarily IMO.

I was given some “off the cuff” advice by a guy who’s built like a brick shithouse; he was showing me a few things and just happened to comment, “by the way, if you can pick it up and train with it, you can put it down without dropping it”

Just seems like common sense and courtesy to me…

Sometimes I will “grunt”, depending on the exercise, and in the last few reps. If one consciously decided not to grunt, for fear of “sounding gay”, iow - was focused that much on social issues rather than the movement - I would say they are likely wasting their time.

I’m officially dejected, knowing that I can’t compete with you.

You won’t accomplish anything if you are always fighting authority, i.e. saying to your boss, “Oh yeah, what are you going to do about it?” or getting pissed off and arguing with your supervisor when they tell you you’re not doing your job adequately (the towel bin is repeatedly overflowing on your shift and the floors are excessively dusty).

If you want to get anywhere in life, start respecting authority and quit blaming everyone else for your shortcomings. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the fingers are always pointing at you? I’ve seen dozens of people over the years with attitudes like yours.

Guess what they usually end up doing - bouncing around from job to job as 50-year old health-club towel boys. So, carry-on, internet tough-guy and keep us apprised of your successes so I can be inspired to try to keep up with you.

First of all don’t talk to me about my job because the whole complaints about the towel bin weren’t even while i was working and that was cleared up a few days ago when my manager(not the one i said “well what are you gonna do about it” to) apologized for blaming it on me.

And who said the complaints were constant and by the way there’s always dust on that floor whether I’m working or not. Believe me I wont be a “towel boy” my whole life not like it matter thought because I don’t value your opinion in any way cause your just some random guy on the internet thats pissed off at life.

So don’t make shit up just to try and make me look bad. And the manager that I said that to isn’t my manager. He’s a fitness manager but none the less we have personal problems with each other so I’m not gonna be nice to him. And fingers aren’t always pointing at me and I don’t fight authority. So if your done ill be on my way…

BTW Slamming weights =/= Dropping them
