No deadlifting in the power room?

You really care that much about karma on an internet message board? Get a life.

Its part of this forum and yes I do care about it. If you didnt care about it mr cool guy then why did you take the time to do it?

I come here when I have free time at work, usually answer some questions, help a few people while I am here.

When I see someone such as yourself, acting way too arrogant for their own good, posting a bunch of bull shit I say something.

I gave you negative karma boooo hooo, want a tissue? You gave me negative karma back (or at least tried to, lol), do you see me crying about it?

My money is that you are one of these arrogant, think they know everything about training because they have a certificate out of a cracker jack box so called personal trainers. And that is why you sided with the trainer at this gym that clearly doesn't know shit about deadlift.

And stop spamming my personal profile, again, it's a message board on the internet, get over it.

Well to update I had a meeting with him and their top personal trainer. I demonstrated that deadlifting 135 makes the same noise as doing 800, because the bumper plates are a little bit taller than the regular plates, so they touch the ground first. They have these platforms that you hook onto the squat rack that you're supposed to deadlift on, but even the way he showed me how to use it, the plates rest a good 6 inches above ground level, so you end up with 6 inches range of motion. During the meeting he brought a 35 lb dumbbell that had the rubber coating messed up on it to show me that this is what they deal with all the time, as if I was throwing weights around.

Anyway, I decided that it wasn't worth it to keep deadlifting there if they're going to be nancy boys about it. I even suggested it would be cool to have a power clean/snatch/deadlift room, but they said there was no place they could add that.

What's funny is that during the meeting, the guy confessed to me that he had only been a strength coach for one year, not 10. He actually admitted that he just said that to get me to comply and not deadlift.

We don't go into Branch Warren mode when we lift, we respect others during our lifts, and yet now I feel like I can't deadlift as to not anger somebody. Time to go to the local gym where they're cool with it. It's ridiculous that people that make a career out of this and have prestigious positions at their gyms often seem like they have 1/100th of the knowledge that people here at EF do.

that shows exactly what kind of person he is... to lie about his experience... i bet it hasnt even been a full year and he's rounding up...

What is shameful of that post? the personal trainer should be ashamed for lying the way he did to a customer of the gym. All moya did was call him out on it.
