update - seeing as theres no back extension machine in my gym, my friend had to improvise using the lat pulldown machine. he lay belly down on the seat with his legs locked under the thingys that are meant to hold your thighs down.

as we were going through the sets, the manager came in saying she 'didnt think that was a good idea, and that there were plenty of other exercises to get the lower back'

we asked like what, and she said hold on while i get one of the guys to come in and show you (obviously to tell him to read some exercises book really quickly). she then said, he'll show you some other 'stretches' you can do for your back besides what you were doing'.

he never came...we finished our sets

which gym is this?

its just a leisure centre man in the nearest hotel. nearest proper gym is half an hour away in UL

Quirkster! what are the 'negatives' you mentioned up top??

not enough "gents" around willing to give him a "squat spot"

id play xbox if i could but my balance is not great lol

lol, wudda love a bitta call of duty during weights!

nah lads, crunch dun laoghaire was the most annoying, everything was broken, for about a year they didn't have an ez bar. it was packed all the time.

on the upside, the spa area is class! real good jacuzzi n shit, but that really is all just added extras!

Moved gym to bluepool, small but not a lot of members! the weights go high and i am lovin it! roll on summer!!

ye im in bluepool aswell,it nevr realy gets 2 pakd which is a big plus!

Big up the Bluepool, love it, never that busy, DB's up to 50kg, and just down the road from me

Bluepool - is that Monkstown? I was there before I went travelling - the bench is a disgrace, there is not enough space any time I went (four times a week, sometimes twice a day), the dumbbells are great though...

There was a nice blonde bird that used to go to the gym there a few months ago - is she still around? Used to go around three times a week, probably the only bit of half decent talent in the place.

had a look at the website ther it sure looks better then the last time i was there about 4 years ago..how much is membership? im looking 2 get out of crunch when mines up

Its like 350e for a year. Tis a good price.

fc18, jst lukin at ur profile pic, i was at wwe in the o2 last week n got to meet cena.

Man there was great talent in there this evening... Yeah cant say much about the bench, its just an adjustable squat rack, but it dose the job... The one thing i hate tho, is those machine's that use elastic bands as the resistance, wtf?...

yeh they're fucking stupid. think they're there for the birds. my main complaint is no smith machine, and also, no adjustable double sstack for the cross cable machine. (like in crunch)

otherwise, tis class!

ye i h8 the fact that ders no dips bar nd i h8 the step arobics classes taking up the ab area!

Is there dip handles on the the end of the leg raise chair thing, which by the way is awesome, that half ball back thing instead of the flat pad is savage for working your abs...

Theres so room in there for a smyth machine if you move the bike's up to the cardio area, whats the chances of getting one if we all put a request in?
