so I took last week off the gym since I hadn't had one in a while, I am working a 8:30am - 5pm shift this week at work so I decided to go early instead of after work, I was doing chest / bis today and come to find out they moved a ton of crap around and got rid of the decline press.
I mean seriously...now I have to use the smith machine (where the bars hook the sides. now I have to pull benches back and forth and I don't get the same type of workout as I did on the regular barbell one.
Sorry not really any questions, just wanted to rant and wonder if other peoples gyms do ass-backward things like this.

What's sad is that they started out pretty nice. Now it's slowly morphing into a health club

Why do you like having so many posts?
There's only one thing I hate more than working out: being skinny.

power rack is a power rack
squat rack is basically 2 stands, no safety bars, nothing, just 2 stands to hold the bar.<->

Thought it was something like that. Then again could of been a typo considering you rush through it since you're such a post whore

My gym got rid of the T-bar row machine because to many kids were throwing on to much weight are were about to throw out their back. Shame to everyone else who used it.
