I love college ;D

[Poppy83]

Pretty decent little gym, but, um, you say, um, "um", a lot! HA!

I was more impressed with the bumper plates.

[Dracoy]

Haha, I lock up on camera :D

[Kiknskreem]

That place has no "feel" to it. Iron Sport has spoiled me so.

[Dracoy]

My dream is to lift in a PL dungeon with chains, bands and all the goodies :D But this really does satisfies all my needs as a amateur :D

[Zona16]

DEFINATELY can build a great set of legs there, no excuses man

[samsuperjew]

big ****ing gym is really ****ing big

[skinnycalves]

The UF gym doesn't have platforms, doesn't allow olympic lifts, does not have bumpers, and is crowded with roided guidos.

[TrettinR]

HUUUUGE gym. A lot of unnecessary equipment for a powerlifter... but a little something for everyone.

[entropy1]

i hate the fact that u dont even know what half the stuff is

[allergic2rice]

"chest muscles" :)


in the wee little hours of the morning, if and when no one is in the gym, imma sneak in there, and just jerk it.

[Musclekid92]

That's amazing. Not the best atmosphere like kik said but you can still get your sh*t done.

[gewaltiger]

i love the bumper plate section too
brb snatching 225 with iron plates..

[AFXC1]

Wow, you guys even have a belt squat machine..

[swolegantor]

Why is the one bench segregated from the rest.


Christ that gym is large and confusing. It has more leg machines then my gym has machines.

The power bench/area with the bumper plates, lots of the stuff there was put in for the powerlifters because of our relationship with our campus org.

312 bench for 1 rep? jw

i didn't know you trained at iron sport. do you know fiss?

[exy]

My gym is 2x2 feet.

Once machine for every part of the body, that's it. I need a new massive gym in Tampa Bay.

[Kiknskreem]

i didn't know you trained at iron sport. do you know fiss?

I know who he is but I don't think I've ever trained at the same time as him.

[mosley1990]

huge huge huge gym. All i would really need is like the first minute tops haha.

[TheMightyManlet]

That's huge, you're lucky. My gym looks pathetic compared to that, got a better atmosphere though. It's got 1 squat rack, 1 bench, 2 adjustable benches with a rack of db's, a few machines (smith machine, bench press, leg press) and cables.

The UF gym is run by goodlife?

if you've never used that belt squat... you've never lived

that hack squat is also the best hack squat I've ever used by far, bar none.

Great facility. could use better atmosphere, but I tend to bring my own :)

[skinnycalves]

I am unaware, but one cool thing it has is a video camera that allows you to see if the gym is crowded via the web, pretty awesome when it is not broken.

[SecondSucks]

Wow. Gyms way too big for me. lol

[someonefat]

that be a fun gym for bodybuilding, powerlifting only need a few basic things lol.

[str8flexed]

it has all those things, plus a few nice extras

[Arlecchino]

That's what you get for going to UF.

Too many HIT'ers in the ex phys program as well.

Good reason to change schools and/or possibly re-evaluate your entire life.

I don't know much about their ex-phys program, but i did venture into the ex-phys building one day and it said "rated number 1 in the nation in x magazine". Probably really biased. But ill take your word for it, half the personal traning ****s at the gym who are supposed to be future kinesiologist do not know ****. I think i remember posting one of their recommended "strength workouts" and you said it was the biggest POS ever. But hey their football is pretty damn good!

[Dracoy]

I am trying belted squats today. Better be awesome :p

Wouldn't be the first time that happened. Penn State supposedly has by far the worst S&C program in the country. They do circuits on machines basically with no rest until they vomit.

ill stick to free squatting

[str8flexed]

ill stick to free squatting

well after you have a decade more of training in you and your lower back feels like a crushed coffee can, you will find that machines like that; can be a real life saver :)

[Dracoy]

I am uncrushing my coffee can. :p = win.

[Beefcaker]

I wish you knew what a reverse hyper and a belt squat were...

[Dracoy]

I do... O_o
