You know you go to a hardcore gym when..

#1 sign that you are in a hardcore gym...

All the pads have been replaced with diamondplate steel.

1.) You can smell the place when you roll up in the parking lot

2.) There is no water fountain, just a hose outside the door

3.) Metal is blasting

4.)The UPS guy brings regular deliveries of Fina pellets

5.)The janitor regularly sweeps up d-bol pills and syringes off the floor at the end of the night

My highschool gym actually was pretty decent for a few years until they remodeled it. It was a little dark because it had only modest lighting. It had rubber pads on the floor and areas for cleans and deads. The dumbells went up to 75lbs which is pretty good for a HS I think. It had 3 squat racks. A power rack, 4 flat benches, an incline bench, a decline bench, no bathroom, no faucet, a trap bar, thousands of pounds of old school black iron plates, iron dip and chin bars, an old school vertical leg press, 45 degree leg press, a universal gym which nobody used and probably hadn't been oiled in 10 years. It ahd mirrored walls on 1 side, but they were old and cracked and dirty. The rest of teh gym was painted a dark olive green. I miss that highschool gym, it was the closest thing to a dungeon I've ever trained in.

75 lbs should be were they start

The pink dumbells weigh 50 pounds.

The pec dec has been broken for 11 months. And nobody cares.

hillarious thread

When there is a sign at the entrance that reads: "Any member using a cell phone or caught with one past this sign will have their membership immediately terminated. If you are looking to join and have your cell phone on you now, turn around, go back down the road to the nearest 24 Hr. Fitness. You'll fit in fine there as they are a prerequisite to joining. Have fun!".

hillarious thread

Yeah this is a funny thread! Makes me think of one of my favorite jokes....
how many bodybuilders does it take to change a lightbulb?
3......one to change the lightbulb and 2 to stand around saying, "Dude you're huge! You're awesome!"
