Poll: Gym Rats New Year Training Session 2012 *** Confirm Attendance please ***

[Delvis]

What did you guys think of the gym? It's like 5 min walk from were I work so might join. Antheroption is the gym group which ishalf the price but with rubbish free weights.

Temple? It's good, but again there isn't much room for free weights.

We ended up deadlifting in the squat rack for instance. Best bet is to go down there one day and take a peak and ask for a tour really.

There are a LOT of machines though, so it will do the job, just personally i'd prefer a free weights area bigger than a square meter

 

[Steedie]

I certainly wouldn't want to use it as a regular gym...

It's definitely a place every gym rat should go once though

 

[Freefaller]

If you're after no nonsense training and focus on bodybuilding, it's great. If you want more from a gym, with better chances for strength training disciplines then I would go elsewhere.

If there were more racks, and more free weight areas then I'd say it's perfect - but it's just too machine and bodybuilding focused rather than powerlifting, strength oriented IMO.

 

[Skillmister]

I could probably get used to training there as a regular gym but it's not quite ideal. As FF said, with an extra rack or 2 and a deadlift area it would be great

I loved it, loved the atmosphere, loved the people there (except the guy who stole the clips from me and Steeds!) and thought it'd make a great place to train. IF it wasn't often busy (no idea how bad it gets as we were there on a weekend) as there's only one place to do olympic lifts, and IF I was a socialable person. I think you really have to be able to rock up and be able to talk to people/help/receive help from others if you want to make the most of that place.

if you train alone, just go somewhere commercial.

Anyone mind having the group photo posted in GD's "post a picture of yourself" thread? I think we're all sexy enough to show off thumbsup.jpg

 

[Freefaller]

Happy with it

And to be honest, we've got the pics posted here... so it's already "out there"

 

[Delvis]

EDIT: Scrap that, name if you wish

 

[MoNkeE]

Well I knew you would be FF, you're like a flourishing flower that wants to be seen by the world.................

 

[Freefaller]

I'd like you to flourish my flower

 

[Skillmister]

Sure why not

 

[Freefaller]

What could be fun would be to get people guessing who is who!

Where are the rest of the photo's/Vids guys, come on...

 

[Freefaller]

How about... you stop bitching, and get your arse down to the next one?!

That was about it lol. It didn't feel right posing while big guys around were screaming their heads off

I like that idea!

I'll try and get FF's C2PP uploaded at some point. Not sure if anyone uploaded mine, and I think Steeds has a video of Batf1nk beating his PB with me spotting.

Looks like great fun, just a pity I couldn't make this one.
Although there is a disturbing lack of these sort of pictures


And thumbs up!

I put on a vest top especially for showing off... However, it didn't feel quite like the place to muck around - but I still got the mane out... I don't really care...
