GREAT NEWS!!!
I left my last gym since the best they had were 50's !!!!
My new gym, which is, in my opinion, one of the few "old school" gyms left, has 150's and we have one set of 185's.
Lot of international competetive powerlifters doing mega weight, so we also have a lot of chains, boards, boxes, bent bars and a corner stacked with 100 lb plates that they use every day.
I [glow=red,2,300]like[/glow] my gym!

Awesome Steve! Now, nobody at your gym has excuses, it's time to lift some heavy dumbels!  The heaviest dumbels at my gym are the 130lbs… it's great, but it's nothing in comparison to these 185 Frank! I guess there is a lot of dust on it… Am I right Frank? ;D |

Are you assuming I don't use them?  AHHHHHHH! (buzzer!) Wrong answer! There are about 3 of us in the entire gym (500+ members) that use them. I call it "swimming in the deep end of the pool!" I chase the "wanna-be's" into the shallow end...so they don't drown! ;D |

There`s 2 rooms in my gym,one for regular members,and the other for teams of the college.........it`s on a colleg campus.
In one room we have dumbells that go from 5 pounds to 100 pounds,in the other they go from 5 pounds to 150 pounds.
I have never been in a gym with so many benches or Olympic bars in my life.
Downside...........no formal calf machine,or hack squat but I make do.

I know I love my gym.. but didnt realize just HOW much I love it... I'm surprised to hear so many gyms have such light dumbells and such. We go up to 160s I believe.--- I'll need those one of these days!
