They definitely at least have 75s, maybe 90s. I don't go there anymore and it's been a while. Well that is solid. Unless your gorilla strong like @EaglesFan5-36-81, us norms probably wont ever need anything over 70's.

Bednarik60 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 @ianlewis16 give a shot, if they have a dip bar, pull up bar, ab board, dumbbells and some calf machines , i would do it, can't beat the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bednarik60 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I been using kettlebells lately at my gym, they are pretty awesome, they are odd and make you work mechanically different, but in a way you got to use your core and stabalizer muscles a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I went to one when I was in college because it was cheaper than the on campus one. They get a bad rep because of the lunk rule and the pizza parties, but they aren’t terrible. They’re definitely great for a beginner’s gym. If you get to the point of taking lifting really seriously, you should find a place with more free weights, but getting started or just using it to get in shape, the value is great.

When CrossFit first got huge, I swear I saw so many people who jumped on the craze get injured because they used kettlebells without having any idea what they were doing. They’re awesome if you know what you’re doing and use proper form, but they have gotta be the easiest way to stupid yourself into a major muscle injury.

No one one should do anything swinging with them or any weight. All that swinging is what F's people up. Its like the first thing you learn in weight training/power lifting/bodybuilding... Like this crap is begging for a injury. I do traditional exercises with them like lateral raises, curls, rows, lunges, squats. But because of the handle and they move around a little bit, it brings a unique challenge to those traditional exercises and brings in more core and stabalizer muscles.

Unless your gorilla strong like @EaglesFan5-36-81, us norms probably wont ever need anything over 70's. Awww shucks ❤️ Ya @Bednarik60 IPF is very hit or miss, like Phire said it's a franchise. The biggest issue I have with the ones around me are there are no free weights just smith machines. While they're a terrific price of equipment you're not using your stabilizer muscles. For instance my weakest lift is my bench press. Flat bench on a smith machine I can hit 3 plates for 3 minimum, I can't hit that for one on a flat. That said I've been to one in Florida where they had free weights and were very lenient on the "lunk alarm". It just all depends on the owner of that specific franchise. Im old school, give me a bucket of chalk and let me toss some weights around. I may let out a grunt every now and then but that just means you're pushing yourself to your limit. Don't be a moaner Lisa and squeal every rep of every set, then you deserve to have a 45 lb plate tossed at your head like a frisbee...
