    Mate, all i can say to you is you don't understand... obviously people who don't have serious strength will be asked as to why they want to join and where they want to go... if they say, i want to get some serious strength and go places with it.. then they are more than welcome to come... if...

    yea mate.. training with a bunch of dudes who want to get strong is really empowering... for a time, the gym in adelaide was like that, until one of the owners had a bit of a spat.. and if i can make a place for a group of people who all can bring each other up with seeing strength and...

    Who said i was going to restrict membership to specifically those numbers? I thought any person who could do any one of those 3 lifts would have shown committment and dedication to get their strength to that level.. thats obviously what we want.. people who are willing to achieve... if you...

    thanks champ, i hope your mentality of forming opinions on the net rather than actually meeting people first hand will not limit your opportunities in life. good luck to you too. LOL @ JDizz

    go slit your wrists champ, if you knew anything about anything investing money in a business has got nothing to do with internet chat.. yes i am arrogant, yes i voice my opinions... yes, i have the opinion mr.boyer was not entirely drug free for his whole lifting period, and if he was then...

    look mate, in hindsight i probably shouldn't have opened my mouth.. i have no issues with telling him exactly what i think either... if he was injured he should just stay at home and rest. all i saw was a new gym to me that provided a lot of strongman gear, an environment where everybody...

    yea, that makes sense.... i just saw a bit of the same at World's and left that place for a reason.... i guess when you see some things that remind you of issues that piss you off, you get annoyed. Is this Ben?

    Time to create a proper strength gym in adelaide.

    well my mistake... i know it wasnt Ben who was using it... but in any case.. if the same mentality of leaving the bar is applied to all or filters through.. you'll eventually have people leaving weights on the bar after their sets are done.. then what? its just plain annoying to see that...

    Time to create a proper strength gym in adelaide.

    its not about working in mate, its about looking after a quality barbell..... so others dont have to use bent bars! you can understand my frustration... i left worlds cos of the idiots... and go to another gym where Ben tells me everything i want to hear, yea we got this coming the prowler...

    Time to create a proper strength gym in adelaide.

    its not the fact that the bar probably didn't bend... but how many others may be benching heavier and do the same thing? he works there and thinks its okay because he didnt outlay the cash for the bar... if you think its okay cos its eleiko, im sure ALL bars ivanko and eleiko inclusive have...

    ok.. thanks for the advice hulk... i was thinking of giving a key to the 50 members who want to come in and train... and a contract where they own 1/50th of all the equipment, so when it comes down to selling it all, they get 1/50th of the lot... however, i see your point, and obviously the...

    Look guys, we have a vision and want a bunch of lifters/athletes who ARE STRONG, OR want to be strong just as much as we want to improve and achieve. It is not about excluding those who have the same vision as us, but we want to exclude those who will be DETRIMENTAL to the gym environment. Those...

    Are you ready to lift?

    i agree with you markos. but i believe records/pbs ARE the competition at higher strength levels. Who else would compete against you if you had a deadlift easily over 300kg... and a squat higher than that? there would be a narrow field, and in that field, it would be a selected few who live...
