When I started out and wanted to compete you pretty much had to be at this one gym and it was 35 miles away. It was an exclusive gym and had to be on the "in" to train there. I found out later why. That's where all the drugs were. I was 18 and at a ( of all things a car expo) Tom Platz and Rachael Mclish were there( Kaz u remember them) the owner of the gym put on a small BB show at the expo. I approached him and ask about joining his gym. He said NO! Rachael was standing there and said " this guy has potential" so he said "come see me Monday"this story probably means nothing to you young guys but anyone old enuff to remember Platz and Rachael can appreciate it I hope. The rest is history.

Platz's legs are legendary. I still don't think anyone has had a better set of wheels in the bodybuilding industry.DISCLAIMER: "SisterSteel" is a fictitious character with the sole purpose to entertain.

I couldn't wait to get to the gym, the smell, the sounds, the people, I felt like I 'fit' in right away, I couldn't stand to miss a day, Between studying and having good mentors, I have been fortunate to gain a wealth of knowledge.
What happened to the days when chalk filled the air, the music was insanely loud, and rust on a piece of equipment was the norm. Where your measure of worth was how much the bar frowned when it was on your back.DISCLAIMER: "SisterSteel" is a fictitious character with the sole purpose to entertain.

I should have said big strong dudes AND ladies, there were some good women bodybuilders/powerlifters, and your so right, everyone squatted, Larry had chalk bins out, deadlift platform, bumper plates, 100# plates, 200# dumbbells etc..all the things YOU NEED. Now 'gyms' are more of pick up joints, no grunting,chalk or heavy lifting, next they will outlaw sweating...sigpic

Re: How far do you drive....
used to go to Powerhouse just 2 towns over.. then they opened a Power house in my home city closer than the nears Dunkin Doughnuts...and in New England that is a statement ..Signed up immediately .. in however shortly there after powerhouse franchise rates went through the roof from what I was told.. and
both dropped the name and have their own name now...
It is hard to find one of those hardcore gyms... Gyms these days want you to sign up , and do the treadmill if you have to show up... or better would be you don't ..
