Man it sucks and I feel you, but you cant really blame the gym? About 60% of their clientele is women, so when someone comes in and starts swimming against the current it can screw with buisness. It can come across as scary to some people, seeing some dude squatting 5 plates veins bulging and sht. I dont say i agree with this kind of discrimination but I can see where they are coming from.

Holy shit!!!!!!! ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL your a funny guy joe
LOL...a big strong guy and a comidian too. Man we got talent here! Good post Joe!
But you know what kinda pisses me off? These high school kids can go into the Ys and do all of their stupid shit and get away with it. No Body says jack shit to them. How Come?

Agreed. I also workout at the YMCA and even though i am not even moderately close to your numbers, some people get irritated when i deadlift 3 plates. Not many people at the YMCA are properly educated, so it's not irregular for them to look at you like you're an alien.
HAHAHA, last year before my ab tear there was this dude that worked behind the counter at the gym. Dork. There for a job, didnt work out ect...
My gym is in the middle of the road. Old people, hot chix, high school homos, college summer wannabe's. One serious dude per shift probably.
When my bro and I did things like rack pulls (405-585 range), or flat DB press (100-120 lb db range) We would obviously make a little noise, its a given. No one grunts or acts retarded, just dropping the DB's (rubber coated ones) as lightly as possible after a set ect. clanging of 4-6 plates a side on a BB ect ect.
This jerk off is looking at us during chest and decides to come over....
.....I knew before he ever got there he was going to say something about dropping the DB's. Which we do lightly, politely, and carefully. We dont throw them and act like assholes. He gets over, stands there, I stand up and look down at him and go "you need sumthin bro?" he just shook his head and walked back to the desk.
The point is, at the time I was 275 at 6'0" . Still not as thick and massive as JoeD but pretty fucking big and I also have huge traps which just adds to the visual. People look at me when I'm in that kind of shape like I have a 2 headed cock growing out of my forehead. So I can imagine JoeD in the YMCA.....jesus I'de love to be a fly on the wall

lmao. everybody a comedian in this thread. Ive been in some pretty shitty gyms dude. At least you dont have people in there reading "in between sets". I dont means magazines either. i mean a fucking novel. this goofy lookin queer/hippy thing (couldnt differenciate male or female)used to sit indian style on the flat bench and read. when he was still sittin there reading and all the others were full, i had to say somethin. This was fairly common place at two of the gyms ive gone to in the past. Thats davis ,ca for ya. Most comercial gyms arent powerlifter friendly. They cater to the bb crowd and the general fitness clientel.
I need to find a hard core gym so i dont have to wait 20 min for the 1 squat rack cuz some dork is doin barbell curls. Anybody know of one in the solano/yolo/sacramento county area of california?

My y is actually pretty legit, the person who manages the facility is an exersice science background so he knows how to set up a succesful gym
