Yes, it was probably a bad idea.
The lunk alarm…That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of.
Because we lift heavy weights and have to grunt occasionally on the last rep while pushing that weight, we are labelled as “stupid muscleheads”. What they don’t realize there is that we are 100x more intelligent than those idiots when it comes to nutrition and fitness.
Planet Fitness: Once you can lift more than 70 pounds, get the hell out you are too intimidating.
If you’re lifting a weight you should control it. Don’t be that guy who gets done bench pressing 70lb dumbbells then throws them all over the place because HE’S THAT HARDCORE.
While a little noise happens from lifting you don’t need to be a dick, and to be honest, after hitting a heavy DL, or DB BP, you look even stronger and more intimidating when you keep holding the weight and rack it to!
Oh, and yeah planet fitness blows nuts, my former gym became one, just for the name, a week later a corporate official came through and told the owner he must get rid of all heavy weights and DB’s over 70 or the franchise will pull the name.(then they installed the lunk alarm)
If you slam weights in a gym you don’t own you are likely a douche. It’s a very “look at me” type thing to do and to anyone that knows anything about training you look like a fool.
Yeah but going to failure sometimes requires the drop slam!
Most gym managers are fat/out of shape guys that use exercise balls anyways.
I was told not to do weighted bench dips (where your arms are behind your body) because I was taking up too many benches. I said okay. Then when the manager left, I went right back to my sets.

I would have got rid of all the heavy weights in the back of my truck win win.
I hear Planet Fitness has a free all you can eat pizza night can’t be all that bad
