So /fit/...lets hear your stories about getting kicked out of the gym...or gyms.

First gym I got banhammered from was a 24 hour gayness about a year ago...for doing fucking deadlifts. No shit. The fucking owner told me that what I was doing was dangerous and he didn't want me to sue them if I got injured...

Second gym I got kicked out was my local fitness center, today. I was doing power cleans, and I wasn't really feeling it....so what did I fucking do to motivate myself? That's right, I yelled LIGHTWEIGHT BABY, AINT NOTHIN BUT A PEANUT, and cleaned that shit. Apparently this was "disturbing" to the grunting curl monkeys, and the owner promptly came and told me that I wasn't allowed to do dangerous exercises and disturb other guests.

So I guess it's time to build a platform and get my own shit huh?

IT'LL BE THE BEST THING YOU EVER DID

UNTIL YOU CONTINUOUSLY TRAIN TOO HARD AND CAN'T WALK FOR DAYS

WHICH IS STILL AWESOME, EXCEPT YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN UPPER BODY, WHICH CAN BRING A MAN TO TEARS.

>>EXCEPT YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN UPPER BODY, WHICH CAN BRING A MAN TO TEARS.

Two 20 gallon buckets, Two bags of cement, and some really hefty wood with a space hollowed out of the top for the bar to sit. Voila. Instant squat rack for like 50 bucks.

Also,
>>I yelled LIGHTWEIGHT BABY, AINT NOTHIN BUT A PEANUT

I would have died of laughter had I been there and heard you scream it.

By the way, here's a couple of pics of the homemade squat rack I was talking about in>>295130.

I haven't made my own yet. I found this on a fitness forum with some google-fu.

not a bad idea, but it looks pretty easy to tip over
>> Theodore Roosevelt
Yeah I've seen that too, but I think I'm gonna stop doing back squats in favor of front squats anyway, so I don't even really need to bother.

Hence the gigantic bucket filled with cement that weighs 200+ lbs.

sounds like you are really quite a fag

Someone in that forum mentioned adding a wide support of some sort under each bucket to keep them from flipping. Perhaps a sheet of plywood or something.
>>295140
The guy who built this one in particular said each bucket only weighs about 50 pounds.

As long as you position them properly and don't act like a spastic fucktard, there's no really good reason why they should topple.
