At a Gold's I lifted at once there was a sign above the DB rack...

DROP THE WEIGHTS, LOSE YOUR MEMBERSHIP

It made me smile

One of the reasons I don't use dumbells much anymore is because I work to failure on some sets. What are the alternatives to dropping if you don't have a training partner. Flat dumbells can mess you up if you try to ease them on the floor out to the sides. The best bet is to hope that you can bring your knees in close, set the dumbells on there, and then bring yourself back up. The reverse for the way that I set up for the lift. This is usually what I do if I'm not training to failure on a set.

Having said that, there's nothing worse than working out with a pair of dumbells that look like the plates are gonna fall off. Scary shit.

Right next to the one that says "If you're stupid, don't load 16 plates on the hack squat without people around that can lift it off of you". I still laugh at that story as sad as it was.

I wasn't refering to the controlled drop but the all-out plummet with zero effort where some sloppy bitch just tosses them - and this is far more frequent than actual hard work going on.

I wish the signs would work where I go. People will take the weights upstairs so I'm looking around and by the time I find the other one, my heartrate is dropped to the point where I feel like I just got there. Our sign is chaesy but funny. It says see dick come. See dick workout. See dick get kicked out for not racking his weights. DON'T BE A DICK!!.

I have seen someone drop a dumbbell and bend it when it hit at an angle. As it was a nice new Ivanko, I was not real happy. It was there last time there.

There are signs up all over my gym (World) that say membership requires reracking of weights, and they announce the same about every 15 minutes on the PA. What do I do at least 3x/night -- put away about 200 lbs of free weights.

I'm turning into the weight nazi & i dont' even work there.
