My gym is totally screwed.

The bastards that run my gym (YMCA) have decided that free weights make too much noise which frightens the old farts on the treadmill. They built an extra room and made that the free weight floor. They used to have two weight rooms, one for yuppies and another that they called the powerlifting room. Well the powerlifting room had the better equipment, it is older but is much betterthan the new equipment. They moved all of the good equipment into a building across the street and opended up a "teen" weight room. They also got rid of the iron dumbells and replaced them with RUBBER ONES!
Have you ever seen a 125 lb. rubber dumbell, the damn thing is 3.5 feet wide! How can you do dumbell presses with weights that wide. The whole place went to hell because some old guy on the board of directors didn't like weights. I'm glad I'm having gyno surgery so I'll have an excuse to skip a few weeks.

Dude, do you have any real gyms around you?

I keep thinking of that 'Village people' song when people tell me that they lift at the Y

I feel the pain on the rubber dumbbells, they are long as hell. we have both at my gym but they are intermixed between sizes so you have no other choice but to use them.
