do u guys slam or throw weights at ur gym?

[Chi23]

If you or anyone has suggestions for a god gym in the Chicagoland area (think NW side), I am all ears. Chicago in general is a shitty place for hardcore gyms given its size.

Jakked hardcore is in montgomery near aurora. its got free weights and also a strongman and powerlifting team. $50 gets you access to everything and i believe dumbbells go up to 200

[luvtofight]

U look at branch warren and he throws his shit around

[LittleNicky230]

I scream Yup, Yeah buddyyy Yup. Light weight babyyyyy. In all seriousness though I don't ever drop weights or throw them around. People go to the gym and want to feel sumwhat safe. I also don't grunt or yell and I expect the same from everyone else.

[gadogs83]

If your dropping or throwing the weights around, You are not in control and i bet the form is terrible.

Its not how much weight you can push, Its more about how much weight you look like you can push.

can't help but disagree with this one dude. i'm lucky enough to lift at a private powerlifting gym where guys are slapping the shit out of each other before sets, dropping heavy dumbells on the floor and screaming at each other calling each other pussies lol. its the greatest atmosphere ever.

[gadogs83]

if you gotta throw or slam the weights down it too heavy for ya

if you don't throw or slam weights you aren't lifting heavy enough

[Matt0071]

i may at times drop the weights after rep'n out, but i try not to grunt as that fuckin bugs the fuck outta me, got a fuck that does that all the time, meanwhile one of those clowns that works on there arms 7 days a week and nothing else, taking up space and fuckin hate it!
i can understand doing shoulder shrugs ( heavy) and such but come on, doing bicep curls and grunting lmao

[losieloos]

The ladies do like the biceps especially the blondes

[ImNotJacked]

I throw shit or did when I lifted heavy ass weights, but mainly it was cause I worked too far into failure.. Was chasing the gains, now I stop shy of being tempted to throw weights, brings too much attention.

Cut your body fat down and you might see your biceps...

LOL, Harsh bro.

I used to drop the weights to avoid injury when I repped out on heavy dumbell press's until one day it bounced and broke a huge mirror on the wall. Made me feel like a jackass. Now I always control it, sit up with it and rack em at the end of each set. I will drop the weight on the last rep of heavy deads or DB rows though.

The heavy ones get crazy height!! The owner of my gym would kick my ass if i bounced one of his heavy dumbells.

[ozzyozzy21]

yeah!! I've thrown 10 pound dumbells on the floor and roar like a monster hrrrrrrrrr bitch wft you looking at !!!!

lol

[NotoriousVic]

Thanks for posting this UP!

I get self conscious about that too, but this is the conclusion I came too. If you're in the ZONE... who gives a F**K what ANYONE thinks. If they're hating because you're having an intense work out, they're just jealous. If you're lifting anything over 75lb dumbells you have the right to drop them. Trying to put them down safely can cause more harm, especially if you don't have a spotter.

just don't wear sunglasses in the gym, that's a douchebag move lol

[Big Hungry]

My training buddy dropped a pair of dumbells lile a fool and broke the tip of a finger

[StoliFTW]

there's also a difference between dropping weights and throwing them. If I go heavy ~100lbs dumbells I softly drop them. Anything less than 90lbs and I use gravity to land them on my legs on the way up from the bench.

[blazer69]

once in a while it happens. I dont do it on purpose though.

[crazyfmike]

Damn straight I drop the 120's, WTF is a guy going to do when he's done, he's done, drop that shit and pull yourself back together for the next set.

Now yelling on every rep? That is a different subject :-(

Okay I am full of shit...it was the pink dumbbells.

[You mad Bro]

Depends how they drop the weights, if they lower them to their sides them gently drop them I don't mind, but when are reaching fully up then drop them or throw them that annoys me, be considerate for others I'm trying to do curls in the squat rack here.

[palmers]

the guys that drive me fucking crazy are the skinny fucks dropping the weights and you look and they're the 30 pounders, fuck I hate that.

people who grunt from 120's probably grunted at 30's when they were younger n weaker

[VengeanceX7]

I do it on chest day when working with DBs. Other that that never find the need to. I workout at 2 am though so it wouldnt really matter.

Thanks, I am well aware of Jakked since it is my dream gym. However, I can't make it work given that it is 40 miles away (one way). There is one in the city as well (famous - owned by a former pro powerlifter?) and the one in Alsip. All too far. Guess I live in an area with pussies. Dammit!!

[megatron_ed]

U look at branch warren and he throws his shit around

Yeah, maybe he should try a different technique....like I dunno.....maybe lift the weight to a full ROM before he throws his shit around?

[DD55]

If your strong enough to pick it up, then be strong enough to put it down. I hate when I see people throwing weights because it just tears up the equipment and my gym prob wouldn't replace it if someone was throwing it. If I owned it you wouldn't be throwing it. I would be throwing you out. Some things are understandable. But just being a freaking animal in the gym is a little dumb. Your not the only one there.

my thoughts exactly

[crazyfmike]

I'll run a heavy HCG/clomid cycle and toss my huge nuts on the floor.

......if you don't drop the big bells once in a while you lift like a girl.
