I think you could bench press two Mormons, one Islamist and a couple of Southern Baptists.

Nope.

I wouldn't get that close to them.

At the beginning of the clip you can hear the 'lunk alarm,' going off. He was 'dropping weight,' and was asked to leave. My bud almost did the same thing at a rapid fitness in this area.

I train at a smelly basement YMCA gym. It is pretty good though. No one that works at the place ever goes into the gym, so you can literally do whatever you want training-wise.

There are a couple Planets Fatness around, but it is basically a cardio social club.

cardio social club. thats so true!

Did anybody else see the huge "YOU BELONG!!" on the side of that machine?

Thats not a gym, thats a cuddle. How can you sweat and toil in a place that has the colour and message of fucking Barney?

Hardcore baby!!!!!

In the near future these places will be filled with Temple Grandin's Hug Machine

ugh

I have never been to a gym that had the "lunk alarm."

How does the lunk alarm work?

Drop a bumbell and it goes off?

I'd think the Lunk Alarm is more fucking annoying than any grunt that slipped out, thats so loud I might have shat myself! And whats with all that "you belong" 1984 shit on the equipment? haha

These places just need to post a big sign....

"No one serious about using our equipment need apply..."

It's obviously a strategy to prolong the useful life of their equipment, they only want occasional guilt trippers and resolutioners who will come a few weeks and then quit....

I would almost be tempted to get a job at one of those places so when i was on shift i could turn the alarm off and let people train properly.

Mudge, or anyone.

The Lunk Alarm is in the floor?

So when you drop weights, it goes, off?

I've never heard a "Lunk Alarm?"

Please explain.

With heavy, heavy, dumbbells on certain exercises and a heavy deadlift, of course I drop the weights - it's about safe, and not destroying your back.

I think by 'lunk alarm' he meant that little bell in your head that goes off when some jack ass is throwing weights around and making an obnoxious amount of noise to draw attention to himself so people will see how much weight he is using.

I read this on another forum.

The lunk alarm is a manual alarm. If someone (a real lifter) makes too much noise (grunting, dropping weights, etc), any one who is offended by this (wimp) merely walks over to the alarm and sounds it. It is meant to call attention to the noise maker and the alarm is loud enough that everyone in the place can hear it. It's mean to embarrass said loud person and prevent them from doing it again.

In the thread that I read this, some guys were planning to go to one of these places with the goal of intentionally setting it off, having another person take a video of it, and then post it on youtube. I don't know if they ever got around to doing it.

Thanks, Triple Threat.

I get it.

I still don't understand how grunting can intimidate people.

I don't give a shit if someone grunts, or whatever.

Littlewing has a thread up about this. I forget the name of the gym (Its the one done up in purple) but they straight out say in their brochures that bodybuilders are not welcome, and they are mocked on their posters and shit.

Its pure insanity. It's a fact that successful people surround themselves with other successful people, so why the hell would I want to go to a gym where big guys arent allowed!?

What a great place for smug hypocritical self-loathing bastards and bitches.

I'm all of the above, but I don't pretend not to be by subscribing to some pussy hold-my-hand bullshit.

That picture set my mood as sour as my balls!

I love this sign! It sets up the perfect pickup line at the gym.

Walk over the cunt who's in charge of setting that alarm off and say, "Hey bitch, how about you and I set off the lunk alarm?"

LOL, in some of the vids on youtube the managers of Planet Gayness continuously say "we dont want to intimidate the other members." ha! People will more than likely be intimidates 24/7 when they walk around in the real world and see that everyone else that go to real gyms are bigger, stronger, or just plain simply see results, whereas they still look like shit.
