Gym rant, not to be confused with gym rat.
We all have our own reasons for working out/lifting weights. And all of us have different needs.
That being said, I realize that when I'm traveling and have to go to a commercial gym, I am the odd-man-out in that I NEVER see anyone else doing Olympic lifts or modified Oly lifts.
However, being a Highland Games Athlete (thrower), Oly or modified Oly lifts are
I N D I S P E N S A B L E !
I was in a gym last week called Well-Worx in Memphis. In there they had only "IRON-GRIP" rubber coated, 12 sided Olympic weights. Now 12 sides to prevent rolling.....not a bad thing. UNLESS one is doing floor based multi rep exercises like Olympic lifts or dead-lifts.
Those stupid 12 sided plates will NEVER set down evenly. Making the bar at some goofy angle after every rep requiring a reset of the lifter's body, or the weight.
Gym owners, please take note. If you're going to buy these pieces of crap, at least have a good number of normal ROUND weights in house too!
