    gyms that cater for powerlifters

    Hi, I'll be staying 4 days/month in both downtown Chicago and Jersy City, NJ.
    Any gyms that can be recommended? ( I have only public transport available )
    Thx.

    that wasnt serious was it. Lancer was it?

    VI your not a powerliftinger are you? If you are go read powerlifting usa over a couple times and then come back.

    As lancer put it quads gym is home of the one and only ed coan. You know who that is right. Were i just seen a mid 40's guy (ed) rep 445 raw like it was going out of style. this is were he deadlifts 800lbs raw off of a 100lb plate. there is chalk flying. nothing but the sound of jacked music and metal against metal. a true powerlifters home. i drive over an hour just to work out

    Do you train there? From what I heard, the Quads in the City (Lakeview location) is more of a BBer gym.
