Just had words with gym manager - what would you do?

[x11]

The only gyms in my area are very trendy, bb/cardio gyms. I am getting to the point of lifting decent weights. I got to failure certain days and drop the weights on floor. Also on my 1rm DL I put the weight down pretty hard.

Both gyms have told me not to drop the weights down on the floor.

Fuk that it pissed me off. I got a one year membership and a casual membership. I got nowhere else to go so I don't want to tell managers to eat a dick.

Do you guys semi-drop weights at the end of yr hard sets?

Do you place your biggest DL down gently and make no noise.

Am I out of line re gym etiquette?

That is pretty common nowadays brother. Don't do deadlift don't make noise when you squat etc. Have you tried curling in the squat rack? That is a big thumbs up there!
The shit you are describing is what got under my nerves so bad I set up a gym in my garage at Great expense. Power rack squat rack everything. I can make as much noise as I want and play my own music out there. Unfortunately for you I feel your pain and I think that you must comply with the rules or you will lose your membership. Try doing a 5 rep deadlift quietly if that's even possible. One rep Maxes are definitely out. Sorry brother

Dam, its a gym ferchrissakes. Gonna price up a squat rack. I guess DL takes the least specialised equipment.

I still need the gym for accessory work and will get a penalty for getting out of my membership early.

Also don't wanna do big bench on my own and risk getting hurt/trapped under a bar.

Was not expecting this drama at a frikkin gym.

Would love to tell the manager off, things can't be the same now. I lost all respect for my gym.

And that is why I am the member of 2 gyms. One has platforms and cages for heavy lifts and no one could care less if you miss a clean and just drop it. Even has an indoor turf field for sled and other work along with a 40 yard track. The other is your bodybuilding gym that is huge with machines galor but only 2 squat racks and no cage.

And before anyone says anything no I'm not rich but I don't spend any money on alcohol at the bars.

I never intentionally drop a deadlift. I don't have any complaints about my deadlift progress either. If anything, in theory it should help your deadlift get stronger by controlling the eccentric instead of just dropping the weight.

 

[x11]

I don't drop it as in let go of it and in my working sets it only just touches the floor each rep.

When I see guys putting big weights down hard and vocalising it builds an atmosphere of working out hard.

Why ostracize all the big boys moving big weights, its motivating for everyone IMO to have them around.

Fuck that bullshit bro.

You paid your hard earned money!

The only reason they're saying anything is they're Beta's and you are an ALPHA!

Next time one of those maggots say something to you look them right in the eyes and let him (or her) know if they ever speak to you again you will not only kill them, but every single person in their bloodline, past, present, and future. You will wipe them from existence where they will only exist in pictures and faded memories!

If they test your DEADlift they will be DEAD.

I need their dumbell collection, leg machines..... for accessory work, can't believe I got so angry for a novice lifter.

Best I not do gear methinks, already wanted to grab his throat and squeeze it.

Seriously a pro gym manager I am already stronger than telling me what to do in a DL, should publicly spank his narrow aesthetics scrawny anorexia ass.

I don't know why more people don't murder whole families. Besides problem solving and vengence, it's also a great stress reliever. And the sex is AMAZING.

Don't forget its beneficial to the environment with a slight decrease in population.

But what if their genetics produces hot women, they should be spared.

Hot women come and go, premeditated murder is forever. Plus you know the old saying, "rape-homicide is a girls best friend" (or homicide-rape, depending on one's prefered order)

Fair point when you think about it.

I can tell you is more of a thinking man tbh.
