Kicked out of planet fitness

I actually found some Utube videos of this alarm....I cant believe that alarm, what the hell is this!

Amazing thing to troll though, brilliant.
It's definitely the worst part of planet fitness. Especially when it's early in morning and quiet because every time you put the weights down they sound the fuckin alarm.
 
Gold's gyms I have trained in did seem to have more dedicated bodybuilders. Still a few old farts. I will be one of those old farts soon myself, but I will be ripped.
 
When I go back up to Anchorage I got to stop by the Northway Mall Planet Fuckness for a quick workout and to set-off the Lunk alarm . Have my sister take pics of me going into a double-bicep pose then the Crab . Lol . :eek::eek:
 
I was getting bored, cool idea. Going to stroll in carrying my gallon of water. Lets see how far i get. Im just going to grab the largest plates i can get, wrap a towel through them,hang around my neck, grab some dumbells and start walking lunge laps around the perimeter.

You"ll have to do ALL your squat and deadlift workouts on the Smith machine (they have no racks) and with minimal noise.
No free lifting with heavy weights !! :p Thats dangerous ! :confused:

For real...i was going for 505 deads in march at a PF on a smith.
Had pulled 450 x 3 and it felt good so...
I guess i got a bit cocky and let my form slip.
Separated two vertabraes...felt them grind bone on bone well when i dropped the bar they slammed back together and got my sciatic nerve.
Bout shit myself cuz i hit the floor and didnt think i was gonna get up.
All i could hear was that fucking lunk alarm going off from the weight crashing on the smith.
My wife finally got me up and out to the car.
Not one employee came over to check on me. Just kind of scowled as i hobbled out the door.
Turned out ok after a few weeks but i never went back.
Joined a small gym in the neighborhood that caters to serious lifting.
Fuck Planet Fitness.

No not really....but i went to work the next morning and by noon i actually had to crawl back to my truck.
Thats when i went in to the doc.
They were cool about it....not so much my job. They got on my ass for laying out 3 days and when i called em out on it they said that they couldnt risk me laying out EVERY time i hurt myself at the gym.
Only ever got hurt 1 other time 2 years ago and i wasnt working then anyway. That was a ucl strain.
I told em at work if they were gonna make me choose the gym or work that there really was no choice. See ya.

No...it was donut day. Lol
But seriously....it was my second trip that day. I had been there in the morning and there was a bunch of punk ass kids having a social club meeting around the free weights.
Tied up the smiths and a shit ton of dumbells. Do 6 or 7 reps then put the weight down and text or talk to each other for 4 or 5 minutes etc.
I even nicely asked if i could work in between these bitches....i dont remember exactly what got said but i left before someone got hurt and let em know at the front to maybe tell these fucks to take their social club and pussy hunt to the lounge so others could lift.
That doesnt go far when the employees are part of the club.
So my wife and i went back that night...thats when i got hurt.
Nobody at any of their locations knows anything about bb or powerlifting or individual goals.
They do however require employees to understand how to turn on the mini defibrillator...unfortunately if you need it rigor mortis will have set in prior to one of them getting off their ass to help u.

Lol, guess ill just throw the girlfriend over my back for my lunge walk, im going to wear my tightest shorts when i squat, the only sound to be heard will be ripping cotton. Then ill run on treadmill with flip flops. Realy cant beat the price, if you just want to stop there to warm up before going to a real gym.
The best i have ever been to was just a warehouse, minimal lighting, big dudes, no cardio equipment, and only ventilation was like a 5' fan in the front door. There was no chance you could leave without putting the plates back on the rack. Also a 5 gallon bucket by the squat rack.

One of my favorite gyms was my first , a dungeon of a gym in the basement of the 1930"s built YMCA in Muskogee , Oklahoma . Ceramic tile walls . Loud , smelly and small but it had iron everything with barbaric squat racks and benches . Old York weights and old strongmen that look like I do now :cool: lol
