I wanted to do run the rack lateral raises last week. I gave up as soon as I saw this and went to do it on a machine.

Every time I need plates it’s like a fucking Easter egg hunt

Is the owner trying to do anything about it?

In my gym, a bunch of kids signed up, and next thing I know all the barbells are out of order (but they were at least racked). I put them all back in order. Next time I came in, they were all out of order again. I put them all back in order. This was repeated a few times until finally everybody else, new kids included, started putting them back where they go, 50 after 40 but before 60, lol. Now every time I go over to grab a barbell, it is right where I expect it to be.

The owner has large signs telling members to rerack their weights all over the mirrors so the kids can't miss it when taking mirror selfies.

owner of the gym has signs and so on, but doesn’t actually live in this city, will just come by when there are shows/ he is prepping some athletes and so forth. Don’t think he could do much even if he was constantly there though. There is also a group chat with all memebers where management constantly reminds people to put them back. It’s impossible just due to the culture in this country. Only small powerlifting gyms that strictly enforce putting plates back develop that culture have any luck with it. If there are even any recreational gym users it’s over lol

Makes sense.

Is bodybuilding different there? Getting food? Steroids? Is there a bodybuilding subculture like in the US or Europe?

Looks like a decently serious gym.

Do they have shows in China, or are you going to compete in another country?
