 but I dont like making a fuss, and if people are really that bothered by it then fine, i'm not gonna deprive them of the pleasure of reading a newspaper while casually strolling on a treadmill.maybe I should just start looking for a new gym. the thing is, this one is free for university students like me, and gym memberships are usually pretty expensive here :/ | ||

All I see them do is half-assed circuit training with empty barbell. Maybe two sets of super light half-squats and then move on to lunges. It's ridiculous. There's same amount of clueless guys training but at least for them it's natural to lift big weights. | ||

Add a DBZ like yell afterwards. | ||

And they are even tight now | ||

Love that shit, feel like I could do anything today. yeah, same for power cleans: I always tear up the skin in my palms when I try to lower them gently. not saying its impossible, but its just way more confortable to just drop the bar and I know that feeling very well! thats why I tend to go to the gym in a tracksuit so I dont get stuck trying to put on jeans ^^ | ||

That's just nonsense. Maybe bring it up with the staff first so you have an okay from them. Then you don't have to deal with the idiots who go to a gym for peace and quiet. I personally developed a "don't come near me or I'll throw my barbell at you" look for when I have to use my school's fitness centre instead of the weight room where the girls are stronger than me. That usually keeps people away from wanting to tell me I'm being too loud. | ||

My uni doesn't have a gym so I use neighbouring Fudan's gym. Was going for a clean 1RM and missed it 2 times at 110kg and suddenly the security (not even a trainer, just security guard) comes running towards me screaming and shouting. I tried to calmly tell him that I was doing cleans and that I already put two yoga mats on the ground to break the landing. He insisted (not even listening to me explaining how cleans are supposed to be let go) that I was "purposefully destroying government property" because the weights were bought with a govt grant or some horseshit. So I keep this up and finally some woman comes and asks me which uni I'm from and I say Shufe, not Fudan. This has never been a problem and there are lots of others not from Fudan who come and train. Everything in China is grey area anyway so it's nothing strange. She (not even trainer either) is only listening to the guard bad mouth me saying I was "repeatedly slamming the weights onto the yoga mats and breaking them" at which point I started laughing because I found it very amusing that someone would think you can damage yoga mats like that. This was the last straw and I was banned from ever going back. As I was leaving all the regulars just looked at me and the whole scene in disbelief. Lol whatever I'm going back next term when school starts hopefully they changed guards, otherwise I'll just go to another gym. | ||

Solution: clean the guard and drop him on the yoga mats til they break. | ||
