In Response To: hmmm (BILLY MIMNAUGH)

The only people I have ever had any trouble with in the 30+ gyms I have lifted in my lifetime are trainers with a Napoleon complex attempting to tell me I can't use the equipment in a certain way, or telling me I can't lift "heavy" as I might hurt myself. The basement gym about the only way to go anymore. My wife PLs with me, but also likes her aerobics. We checked out a new LA Fitness in our town: no chalk, no "heavy" lifting, no deadlifting from the floor, no bringing in any equipment (i.e. boards), etc. Only saw one trainer out of 8 or 9 that actually looked like they lifted anything at all. Most gyms just want people to join, get the automatic payment withdrawl set up, and then not come to the equipment lasts longer.
