Well, ofcourse I did but I never thought I'd actually ever see one.
I was in this new gym today I've joined up at, and I went in at 7am when it opened, I like gyms being empty. The gym was actually still relatively full but meh, what yer gonna do.
This guy came in wearing a stupidly tight wife beater, he was somewhat fat, and just did bench press and barbell curls the whole session and shouting and being really loud at the gym shouting at everyone.
Not like prick shouting, but just everyone who came in like "Y'ARIGHT DER MATE, BUILD THE MUSCLES".
He had big arms but a flat chest, and wore shorts and had the skinniest legs I'd ever seen.
Next time I go to the gym I'm going to bring a pitch fork so I can run at him and impale him to the wall while he's doing barbell curls. Then ductape his mouth just incase.
Can never be too careful.
Cliffs:
-Never thought I'd ever see a fat guy with huge upper body and tiny legs
-He did nothing but bench press and bicep curls and shouted all around the room
-Bringing pitch fork to the gym next session to impale him to wall

I also saw a guy doing deadlifts with his feet touching eachother (no gap apart) and the most disgustingly rounded back ever.
and a guy doing like 30 rep sets of quarter reps on the leg extension.
I'm gonna do arms tomorrow, I will make further observations of the gym. I'm meaning to take my cam soon to analyse squat form, and I'll casually film everyone in the gym doing stupid things.

If you can join any gym, join Total Fitness, my boss goes there and they have a huge range of free weights.
I just go the adelphe for the pool benefits and the fact it opens at 7am :]
It's an ok gym though, it's not very well spaced out admittedly and the 'squat rack' is literally just a random stand for the barbell, it's not sturdy or anything. There's like 4 free benchs, all set to different levels of incline from flat, semi incline, incline and practically completely upright.
Then theres 2 normal benchs with the little racks above them.
Apart from the random squat rack, for legs it has an upright leg press (not sure of the proper name), a horizontal leg press, one quad extension machine and one glute ham curl machine.
It also has a smith machine like most gyms, and a place for tricep pull downs and cable flyes and whatever,
The pool is a 25 metre pool I think and it's somewhat heated, it's definitely not cold anyway, and it's the best part of the gym really since no-one goes in it.
It's not a GREAT gym, it's just good value for money with what you get and it has everything you realistically would need. The only negative thing I can really say about it is the plates are just all random on the floor, it's quite hard to find what you need, I was looking for just a 5kg plate today and it took me like 2-3 minutes to find it, which might not sound long but thats 2-3 solid minutes of just walking round a gym that isn't remotely big.
summary:
1 squat rack, 1 smith machine, 1 leg extension, 1 glute ham curl, 2 proper benchs, 4 free benchs, 2 different types of leg press, like 15 treadmills, pec deck, cable flyes, lat pull downs and I'm sure some other little things. Not a big gym at all, it's a bit cramped really if anything. I'd give it a 7.5/10.Squat; 280lbs

I know I'm not the OP, but there is a dedicated male bodybuilding gym in Kirkby called P.B.LEISURE. Never been to it myself, but I applied for a job there by letter when I thought it was just a normal gym and got an email back saying that it was a male bodybuilding gym and it had never had an instructor on site - sounds very good.
And the Total Fitness gym in Aintree on Switch Island is pretty decent. Plenty of free weight equipment.

Sniper fork ftw.
Total Fitness on Edge Lane for that matter =] It's the one my boss goes to and he says it's got everything you could want and need in it really. He makes it sound rather large.Squat; 280lbs
