Still need to get into the gym.
None-the-less... Was going to get a membership at Snap or Anytime, but I think the Y might be a better choice. Not like I'll be going to the gym outside of hours that the Y is open. Also a plus that I don't live far from Y West and work just up the street from Y downtown.

i hit the downtown Y. Work pays for it now but i used to pay out of pocket and it was never too much.
I only do freeweights, and above about 255 i like to use chalk, which the Y has plenty of. There are gyms now that won't let you use chalk (like the crazy fitness resort in Eden Prairie or whatever) and want like $15 for a single workout. It was hard for my dad and I to find a walk-in gym in the Twin Cities area that actualy had real freeweights last time we met up there.
The Y benches have the rotating-bearing things which I really like because finding a spotter that isn't some dumb-ass frat-rat that wants to dead lift the bar off your chest is a hassle. I only grab spotters for "maybe" sets; the rotating bench setup at the Y works pretty slick for everything else.
I usually go around 8pm on weeknights, once or twice a week, and the free-weight side of the downtown Y is pretty much empty.
Where do heavy benchers go in town? I don't think I've ever seen anyone (besides me) load up 315 on a bench rack at the downtown Y. I'm also the only guy I've ever noticed using competition form.

I was making fun of Brandon (Spanish Rice), who in turn was joking about his lifting abilities.

Well if you want the real shit, I know where to get it!

if your looking to bench or do squats without a smith machine, then i dont recommend snap fitness (Its on 8th street? i havent been back for a while). Otherwise, i know concordia doesnt check for id as well since i worked out there for a bit.
Im in virginia right now and there are golds gyms all over the place. now thats a gym

I was a member at the Y-west but no I go to courts plus, racquetball FTW. I live too far away from there now so when my contract is up, gym contracts FTL, I'll be joining the Y again.

colin reps 250 dumbbell benching, I don't know what he could do on a bar, but i bet its a lot more than 315...You mean 2 125's right?
I am wierd, I can usually do just as much doing dumbbell presses as I can with bench presses. I think it has something to do with my freakishly long arms.
