Quote HistoryQuoted: https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/montreal-gym-goer-attacked-because-his-weightlifting-was-too-loud Long article but clip here kinda tells the story. "The majority of Buzzfit members are first-time gym users, Johnson said. “We are not equipped for the hardcore workout he was doing. He was lifting at an elite level of powerlifting, which requires specialized facilities.” A deadlift platform, which makes for a quieter landing for weights, is common in serious heavyweight gyms, Rubish said. Lalonde had been asked to place mats under the weight plates and he had complied, Johnson said. “On this day when he was working out, it wasn’t that much of an issue because he had made the adjustments he had been asked to make.” The man who assaulted him is not a Buzzfit employee, Johnson said, and he was not well known to staff. “We had to go through video footage” to identify him." So .... he was not even an employee and he assaults a customer and throws him out? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For those of us who don't go to gyms, what was he kicked out for? I would guess he was somewhat dropping the bar, not much of a drop. Asshole A just could of told him not to drop the bar, he could have hurt the guy by knocking it out of his hands like that. He did have pads under it and it was only about a 12" drop. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Happened in Montreal 2 years ago. According to the article the lifter was a 19 year old kid who was recording his lift to send to a strength coach. He had permission to deadlift as long as he put mats down which he did. The Animal shirt guy was not gym staff but instead was just another member who was annoyed with the noise. Kid ended up pressing charges of assault against Animal and was offered a free membership by the gym. A staff member was suspended because they should have been on top of the problem and it never should have gone that far. Good. |

The only time I've seen a lifter fuck up a bar that wasn't some cheap Chinese special was dropping it onto hard safeties doing rack pulls with huge weight, or coming down onto hard safeties from a high-position bailed squat.

Sometimes that results in people who own the fucking places to say something about dropping them and some of those responses will be way overboard. Does that mean I condone it, nah, but it's their shit so you can either do as they ask or go somewhere else. I'm not sure why some of you guys get so bent out of shape over this shit. Nobody is attacking your proclivity for dropping shit. Not every bar is all super high quality shit that world class gyms and olympians use. You guys need to relax. lol. No reason to be all cunty. |

But, I guess when you drop it and step back, you can pretend you just won the gold at the Olympics. Bodybuilding is not powerlifting. Politics aside I admire Arnold and bodybuilding is what got me into lifting weights. Of course there is crossover but they are very different training styles. Pound for pound powerlifters are stronger than bodybuilders. Also the kid's form isn't bad. Also if you only ever use weight that you can completely control all the way down on deadlift, you will never have a big deadlift. And you will probably eventually hurt yourself trying. The deadlift is not the squat. It is not the bench press. It is not the curl. The deadlift is about the pull, and that's it. |

Every hobby has guys like the roid rage guy. In shooting it is the bullseye shooters. They show up at the range and spend 30 minutes setting up all their gear so they can shoot one shot every three and a half minutes while they scribble results in a range diary between shots. Then some guy comes in and starts blasting having an ball and bullseye shooter looses self control and either passively complains to range staff that the new shooter is being unsafe or decides they are going to “teach” this new person how they should shoot. At the club I belong to, I’ve seen this play out many times.
