You know you go to a hardcore gym when..

AAP

Plat Hero
Platinum
The pink dumbells weigh 50 pounds.

The pec dec has been broken for 11 months. And nobody cares.
 
When the owner has personally made all of the equipment 20 years earlier when he first opened the gym. Reggy's Gym in Annapolis, MD I shit you not and still goin strong with about 3 members! Big John Stud once worked out there along with some other hardcore wrestlers(T-Bone) That was back when you could legally buy a 10cc bottle of test for $10.
 
when old school Metallica or Slayer is playing over the sound system when you enter the gym.

You ask for a towel, and the reply is "no b*tches here to do your laundry!"

Every weight in the place has at least 30 years of caked on rust on them.

The women ask if you need a spotter.

The only cardio equipment is an antique statoinary bike, and when you peddle it, it acts like a huge fan to cool the place off.

LOL,

the gym i go to now plays that britney sh*t during the day too, so i have been going at night so i can have them play some harder sh*t.

Most of the women are stuck on themselves in my gym, i couldn't get a spot from them even if the bar had me pinned under it. :worried:
 
You know you go to a namby pamby gym when you walk in after not lifting for over 6 months and are bigger than most of the guys lifting. When people that "ACTUALLY" squat do half reps and use padding. When you haven't seen one guy besides yourself do cleans or deads of any kind in over a month. No chalk allowed. Britney spears and N'sync is your typical loudspeaker crap. When the personal trainers are all pretty boys who use anemic man weights and you're bigger than they are adn lift more weight than they do after not lifting for 6+ months.

You know your gym has hope when you see that corner solely devoted to powerlifting and only the powerlifters use that area. Girly men need not apply. When that area has a competition bench, and squat rack. When that area has a box full of chains and one of those chains looks like it came off a naval battleship. When you see a pair of 175lbs dumbells and a pair of 200lbs dumbells. When you see another box full of bands. That area has a glute ham raise machine. You know your gym has hope when you see this.
 
When personal trainers are fu**in freak monsters making their boys puke instead of a bunch of skinny assholes with a "personal trainer" t-shirt watching girls asses.

If my gym had skinny boys for personal trainers it would be an improvement. There is only one personal trainer, a FAT OLD LADY!! And she stays booked up 10 hrs every day!

Ahhhhhh. If I was you, I would spit in her face and tell her to suck your penis.
 
Oh we have already had an argument. She was bitchin about me and my training partner being on the flat bench too long!!! Mid cycle was not the time for her to be saying any sh** to me!

Anyway, back to the hardcore gym topic.

Hardcore gym anywhere but my gym!! LOL

Ive just joined a hardcore gym after leaving my namby pamby University gym which only had dumbells up to 30 kg (which broke so they took them away) leaving the heavyest dumbell being, wait for it....... 22.5 kg . What a joke.

My new gym is rough as hell, dirty, cold (which means its gona be real hot in the summer!), but has huge dumbells (hard to work out how heavy they are because all the numbers have been rubbed off over the years) and all the guys lifting there are fucking massive, so you know its hardcore!

Anyway back to the thread, You know you go to a hardcore gym when....... you have to wipe your feet on the way OUT.

Instead of puke buckets there is a 55 gallon drum of sawdust. You hurl, take a scoop and throw it on top of it. NEXT SET BITCH!


Instead of water fountains, they have a hose pipe and faucet.

The showers, wait a minute...showers? Showers are for pussies! Get your ass back in the squat rack!

The add on weights are cement blocks.

Woah, that song really sucks. They still play that?!!!

Im going to buy an small MP3 player off ebay so i can listen to some propper angry music. Im gona download some Pantera, Slayer and some seriously fast and aggresive techno. :evil: That should do the trick!

When they had the 80's channel i kept hearing all these songs and i thought they were going to be Biggie and Puffy but since it was the 80's channel is was the actual songs they stole the hooks from. I seriously need headphones.

The 80's kicked ass! Never forget that! IMO Biggie and Puffy fucked up all the songs they ripped off.
 
When you have to tighten the dumb bells with an allen wrench and all of the machine weights are chain driven.
 
Guys, this thread isn't funny at all to me.
The gym I go to in Mexico is definitely not full of BIG guys, most are smaller.
BUT, all the things you are pointing out, are actually a description of this place!
No A/C! It gets to be 140 degrees inside in the summer, and we just have to fans to blow the hot air around. You drink a gallon of water and you gotta be dedicated to go during those summer months. Also:
1) toilet is a bucket in the back
2) i constantly have to tighten the allen screws on the dumbells
3) the few machines we have are pretty old.
Its just a big concrete building and the roof doesn't even completely touch the top of the walls all the way around! But i call it home.

Holy shit! That sounds just like my old gym. Seriously. Only we listened to Godsmack, Disturbed, Korn, etc. along with Metallica. Nothing but black iron, and old ass machines that are RARELY ever oiled. When I first went to another gym I doubled the weight I did on everything just because the machines were taken care of. My old gym had a concreted floor and old blood stains on the floor(not kidding) I would have stayed there if I hadn't moved. We had two swamp coolers to cool it off in the summer but we usually opened the huge doors on the front of the building as the place used to be a big rig auto shop before it was converted over to a gym. I got the best workouts I've ever had in that place.
 
When the gym has a big medical room with necessary equipment to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, weight, fat, hormone levels as part of the membership for people on cycle.
 
1.) You can smell the place when you roll up in the parking lot

2.) There is no water fountain, just a hose outside the door

3.) Metal is blasting

4.)The UPS guy brings regular deliveries of Fina pellets

5.)The janitor regularly sweeps up d-bol pills and syringes off the floor at the end of the night

My highschool gym actually was pretty decent for a few years until they remodeled it. It was a little dark because it had only modest lighting. It had rubber pads on the floor and areas for cleans and deads. The dumbells went up to 75lbs which is pretty good for a HS I think. It had 3 squat racks. A power rack, 4 flat benches, an incline bench, a decline bench, no bathroom, no faucet, a trap bar, thousands of pounds of old school black iron plates, iron dip and chin bars, an old school vertical leg press, 45 degree leg press, a universal gym which nobody used and probably hadn't been oiled in 10 years. It ahd mirrored walls on 1 side, but they were old and cracked and dirty. The rest of teh gym was painted a dark olive green. I miss that highschool gym, it was the closest thing to a dungeon I've ever trained in.

guys just turn around in the gym and face the wall to juice up (in the delts, not ass!)

the gym owner keeps his loose coins in needle disposing container
 
When there is a sign at the entrance that reads: "Any member using a cell phone or caught with one past this sign will have their membership immediately terminated. If you are looking to join and have your cell phone on you now, turn around, go back down the road to the nearest 24 Hr. Fitness. You'll fit in fine there as they are a prerequisite to joining. Have fun!".

If it wasn't for having kids that I have to take I would find me a hardcore gym like I used to go to before kids.
 
You know you go to a hardcore gym when:

There is a hole in the wall, in which every person disposes their syringes in.

You find blood on the toilet seats..

Old men are drying their balls with the automatic hand dryer.
 
When you dont go to a ballys, LA FITNESS, when you dont see people with matching clothes WTF!!!!, when is open 24/7 and dumbells are heavier then 150lbs!!, And when women ask you to spot them when they are squatting 405 for reps!

MAJ!!!! Where in MAss is this hardcore gym at?
 
When theirs not one car under ten years old in the parking lot because everyone spends all there money on “supplements”
 
People use chalk and half the bars are rusted and bent. The precher curl unit is covered by a duct taped piece of a leather jacket cause its so warn out. Plates are 100lbs not 45lbs
 
When you walk into the bathroom area and you see guys constantly going in and coming out from the dry steam room NAKED.

Good luck trying to find a clean spot in there to sit down on that doesn't have streaks!
 
When they sell d-bol ,winni and drol flavour protien shakes instead of chocolate stawberry or bananna :p

When you feel safe letting the staff spot you or you wonder whether they'd feel safe letting you spot them.

I'd settle for some that look like they could be holding the Mr. Atlas globe rather than being it.
 
When it is so fucking hot in the place that the rubber mats are all covered in sweat and you can't see yourself in the mirrors from the steam.

When you go from being a big fish in a small pond to the guppy in the big pond......when being 244lbs @ 5 '7 is average size for your gym.

I'm now on the second leg of my Costa Rican "vacation" and I just left the Jaco gym. The people weren't hardcore, but the conditions were -- 90-95 degrees @ 100% humidity and 3 working fans in the entire gym. There were ceiling fans bolted to the BLACK sheet metal roof and if you wanted air to move during your lift you fetched the designated broomstick and started whirling the fan by hand. Once it got going, the motor could sustain the blades for 3-5 minutes before going dead again.
 
When the weights sweat more than you do and the sounds you hear are grunting and yelling and weights slamming around.

Yeah,....

My old gym back in the day used to have used up blisters of Russian D-Bols lying on the floor behind the toilet. (laughs) They were all over. Nobody gave a shit either. It was funny,,...at one point there were a few just lying around there for weeks, then more, then more. I swear guys would probably just come in, use the batroom and take them like pez. (laughs) It stayed there until the Co-owner of 2 brothers (he was one/gearhead as well) was cleaning and found them. He was cleaning the stalls and you could clearly see them on the floor in plain open view. Funny,...I still laugh when I remember see'ing the smirk on his face when he got out from cleaning. He just held up the blisters and said..."Look what I found!" Now,...take in mind the gym was like 99% guys, and 95% of that was gearheads. Most monsters.... It was a great gym BTW. He's getting out of the bathroom, and you just hear everyone start laughing when he did that, including chuckling from him. Nobody gave a shit. It was just used up gear blisters. He probably wanted to score more for himself I am sure.



Good memories....

Oh,....and not to mention

All they played was old Metallica. Blasting,...

along with standard Playstation for after or in-betwwen workouts entertainment...

and,....the standard "three-manned slingshot" to launch water baloons at the guys over at the gas station down the block.

Westside Muscle Gym
Union Avenue, Rutherford, N.J.

The pretty one's are nice, but don't copmare at all to the hardcore small ones. Not even close.
