What to do when at the globo gym...
I have only worked with bumper plates once and that was doing Fran rxd at a level 1 cert. I was doing some OHS and I know I could have gone heavier but because I'm not working with bumper plates and I'm constantly worrying about dropping the weights and having to worry about damaging the flooring.
Anyone else have this dilemma (obviously speaking to the NON-affiliated)? What have you done to work around this situation? Pls don't give me "quit the globo gym!" |

The gym doesn't even have a squat rack? In the globos I've been to I could always do the OHS in those.

Lol! I already feel like a caravan! I bring so much crap with me I turn the squat rack into a circus. But you do have a good idea, I just don't think that lugging around 45# bumper plates would be fun...
Dammit you have a point! The more I think about it, it just seems more and more right lol. |

I have the same lack of bumper issues, and I just keep anything with a significant chance of drop to low weight/high rep as I do not care to destroy the equip, make a scene if/when it drops, and get booted. |

Re: What to do when at the globo gym...
DOn't go for a max. Stick to no less than triples. THat way you'll have a pretty good idea if you can't get the next rep or not and just rack. There really isn't a reason you should be droping OHS.

Re: What to do when at the globo gym...
If the Gym that you are going to don't allow you to reach your max, I would say that you need to look for a better gym that would allow you to reach your max, another answer to your question will be GARAGE GYM my friend. maybe it is time to save some money and slowly buy stuff around. you could start by buying plates or what not. I have (I would say) a very nice garage gym and still go to the affiliates or what not, it is not the same working in the garage or by your self than to working at an affiliate. you could also join one of the affiliates, those were my 2 cents.
