I moved off to Uni a couple of months ago, same story... lost strength on most major lifts (bench in particular, the bar is a lot thicker at this gym and the bench is crap - you have to like do a pull-over just to get it over your chest its weird shyt), also the f'in dumbells have the weirdest grips ever!! the bars are kinda like thicker in the middle and then narrow at the sides, maybe if you have MASSIVE hands you'd be okay, but i wear gloves in the gym and these dumbells do not grip well at all
getting used to it a bit more now though, plus the honeyz at this gym! dayummm!!

That is crappy, totally unsafe. That is one reason I get as far under the bar as I can and still make the lift without hitting anything. Originally Posted by young d

Now you have me worried. I think I'm going to join my friends gym tomorrow. It's getting to the point where a squat rack is an absolutel necessity, and various other equipment is certainly useful. I hope I don't notice a decrease in strength...

Why'd you switch gyms? No more steriod users to tattle on?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I just worked out at the gym for the first time today. I have gone to Bally's once before with a friend, but it's a whole different story to go alone. The only differences I noticed were increases in the weight I could move.
On the negative side of things, two different people that spotted me didn't know what the Hell they were doing. They were huge too. I assumed, stupidly, that the largest guys in the gym would at least know how to spot properly. They both helped me before I got stuck! I was so pissed. Next time someone spots me I am going to give them a briefing on how to spot first. Now, the first time I am confident I had the lift. The second time I don't think I would've had it, but it is definitely questionable. Either way, learn how to spot dammit!The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
