The owner of my gym is not allowing deads anymore!  Looks like I will be traveling for that day. Randy, I read this entire thread and I did not see why the owner is not allowing deads anymore, or do you guys not know??? I know my gym has signs all over about not dropping weights. Just curious. Thinks he is going to attract some NORMAL people |

Thinks he is going to attract some NORMAL people "NORMAL" people......like a "yuppy" gym. That is what we call that around here.....people that lift little weights and do cardio until no tomorrow. |

But Randy, what the owner says is the problem? Too noisy, too impressive, too heavy, too dangerous for the "normal people"? I just can see any good reason!!! If he wants to attract a certain kind of people, the attitude of the members is what he must be concerned about... not the exercises they do! I can find someone doing triceps kickbacks yelling and sweating to the point of scaring "normal people"!!! Can you do dumbels deadlifts at least?  |

I'm really surprised to hear this about a gym. I have all the love and respect for my gym even more! The former owner that owned it for years, Shaun Mahany, competed here locally in Colorado and is a hardcore guy and understands it. The new owner Mat Rauzi is a powerlifter and used to compete in stuff like the Highland Games, etc.. Our gym is full of free weights, machines and lots of Strongman type stuff. The "normal" people here I guess go to Bally's, 24Hr Fitness or Better Bodies.... I have been to all of those and they arent' all normal.. ha. Anway, this has given me a soap box to brad about my gym. Here is a link to the website that is being worked on now (it's only a logo now): www.mahanysgym.com/Also- I'm posting a pic from 2002 or our current owner Matt- he's a GREAT guy and HUGE (the picture doesn't do him justice)  |

That has to be the most destrubing trend in in gym's.
It's getting harder and harder to find good gyms.
There is only 3 hardcore gyms I know of.
I will joinging a gym in the next few days that is truely hardcore, but it like 40 miles from my house. But its worth it.
