Vargatron posted:Is it legally required for gyms to play the shittiest EDM possible at times? Some kind of classic rap playlist with biggie and a bunch of other actually good rappers Some kind of ACDC/Scorpions/"Rock" list that's not classic rock. It used to include that Nickleback sounding song about smoking something last year. It doesn't really play this anymore, but I haven't gone during the old man crew's time in a while. Random garbage songs from the past 20 years or so? Including some recent ones. Honestly, I think they just use pandora. It's also really bizarre hearing censored versions of pretty much anything. The amount of words they censor, including relatively benign ones, is quite impressive but also awkward.

I don't know if my gym plays a playlist or some lovely Pandora or something but it's always the same songs at the same time, I don't know how it works. Recently they added a few live Godsmack songs to the mix and I overheard some gymbros talking about getting tickets for their upcoming tour It has to be marketing

I once asked the meathead trainer in charge of the gym to lower the volume, as I couldn’t even listen to my own earbuds over the loud electronic / reggaeton stuff the kids love He looked at me as if I’d asked if I could see his mother’s vagina Lowered it like 10% and I eventually bought noise cancelling earbuds

Is there such thing as headphones that stay on your head/in your ear that 1. Sound good 2. Sweat proof 3. Stay on your head/in your ears (said twice because most imp) I'd prefer an actual headphone thing on top of my head because earbuds fly out of my ears like a cork popping

"pop that pussy bitch," completely uncensored. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X98HX5nbsCI

My gym doesn't play any music at all. Which is on one hand really good as there is no lovely music that I need to hear when I forget to charge my headphones. But this makes every loving grunt and wheeze so much louder from everyone. It sounds like a very bad (mostly gay) orgy.

I really need to get some backup wired headphones for when my Bluetooth ones run out they always seem to go right at the beginning of a work out, they do this annoying thing where a beep occurs in every few minutes to remind you they need charging. Only problem is I can't wear bud's as I have cauliflower ear. My gym is a cheap nasty 24 hour gym and play's the worst kind of royalty free dance music, plus because it's cheap it attracts idiots who like to squeal loudly as they lift.

Plantronics back beats are pretty good, but if you have a large neck the cord is a little short.

Thanks to the dumbshit graveyard lifting crew at my 24 hour gym they've banned chalk use after one too many giant piles of chalk dust everywhere. It's like, hey let's punish everyone on this one because our one night shift guy can't get up from the desk and figure out which of our members is consistently dumping their poo poo everywhere at regular intervals during the week before 4:30 in the morning

I went to one while traveling that claimed "Squat racks" and "power racks" and it had 1 rack with a bench bolted to the floor in a way that I couldn't even bench because it was so far back. I squatted anyway by walking the bar out into the middle of the gym. Walking out with a bench between your legs is kinda awkward. Khorne fucked around with this message at 13:15 on May 25, 2018 |

Whoops I assumed that rack was the power rack you listed on the website. I dumped 400 pounds on the bench looking safety catches but it broke.

My gym has really good facilities but they don't have a DL jack or chalk. I mean I understand why they wouldn't have chalk for cleanliness concerns.

I just awkwardly waddle over the bar and hump the weights on to it from the floor. Looks super graceful.

Dude at my gym put the pins way down low on the outside of the rack and lay on the floor doing bench presses while holding his legs in air. Is this the new ab workout? It looked silly but he is way bigger than me so somethings working.

They're floor presses. Feet up is debatable but Kevin Oak does it so I guess it works if you want to break world records.

That was the only time in my life I've ever dropped a deadlift on purpose. The nice people at the front desk suggested straps or gloves as an appropriate replacement. I quit that day and never went back. Strangely at the SERIOUS POWERLIFTING GYM I'm at now there's significantly more chalk use but less chalk mess.
