+ 2 Gold's Gym in my area sucks BIG TIME!
This is a shot of me around March 30, 13. After a hard Lat workout w/ my son who took the picture. I think I was sore so I didn't bother to flex. Its at the gayist Gold's Gym ever, been there for 5 yrs. and the new fitness manager a small guy always waits until I'm done doing dumbell flat chest or incline presses with 140 lbs. to tell me to gently put it down, not my fault their second floor is flimsy and sounds like a Bass Drum when anything comes down on it. Long story short this pos got me kicked out. I'm really hoping a Powerhouse Gym will open up around here, I should gather the real lifters who are fed up with this gym and open our own franchise.
This new guy wants this Gold's to cater specifically to Aerobic Fitness people, he targets bodybuilders and gives them a hard time. I'd been long gone if the other gyms in my area had dumbells up to 150. Sad really spoke with corp Golds East Coast, to no avail they'd rather keep this guy because he brings in revenue with his boot camp and personal training. Bodybuilding Mecca they are not, they are slowly selling out and becoming like Planet Fitness... end rant.
Second Pic is about 2 yrs ago? (Can tell by the old phone I'm holding) Bulking, I bulked for straight 4 yrs. and never cut or dieted. My goal was just plain get big as I @#$%@# can.
I feel new to Eroids still but all I can say is This Website Rocks man, a lot of very knowledgable vets, full of info, good people and some bad ass sources. I'm happy I found you guys and happy to be here.

A very warm welcome to you. Love the before and after pics. Good work ;) +1
Thank you sweetheart for the warm welcome, your pics are very impressive, very good progress. You look Fantastic!! You have the body of a teenager.
You're very welcome and thank you ;)
Damn! That sucks man. Your totally right, golds is selling out one gym at a time. U got to look at it from a business standpoint, there's more money in fitness, yoga, and little karate classes then there is for bodybuilders who just lift weights. Thanks god my golds still has mostly bodybuilders in it; mine is a little private owned golds one floor mostly weights but we have cardio section obviously, and the wood floor room for boxing and martial arts. Welcome to eroids tho, this is a great place
Yeah it sucks brotha, they know bodybuilders are dedicated and use their facility day after day, and they'd rather have those regular folks who come in once in awhile. Since after all they pay the same rate too but keep their expenses down and the place looks less packed they can easily get more members to join.
I wish there was a privately owned one around here I hear its better depending on the owner, but unfortunately I have only corporate owned ones around me.
I know the misinformed reasons why gyms don't want Bodybuilders, you know the meathead sterotypes, etc. etc thats why I always carry myself in a respectable manner in the gym but my efforts are futile, its like fitness members are gold and we are nothing. The Planet Fitness disease is taking over, you know the no judgment zone unless you are a bodybuilder. You go to their website they have the whack-mole-game where you whack bodybuilders lmao. Now its reversed discrimination.
Me and my wife has discussed moving closer to possibly a Powerhouse Gym lol, yes I'm that committed to the game. Anyways thanks for +1 I appreciate
