Jacques Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 master jacques ano po ung sinasabing hardcore gym? kapag marami bang machine kino-consider pa rin na hardcore?On the contrary, "hardcore" gyms, are usually unappealing to the mainstream. Back in the days, rarely will you see so much variation in machines to target different muscle groups. Getting big usually equates to lifting heavy and lifting heavier. Good old barbells, plates and dumbells. And airconditioning was a luxury. Imagine a dungeon filled with large scrap metal and huge guys walking around And yes, drugs are easily obtained and distributed amongst these gyms. Quote Link to comment

It helps make the atmosphere more "intense." :upside: Personally, I'd rather work out at technofit because of the selection of machines available (masbago kasi compared to YMCA). Nevertheless, both of these gyms sell steroids as if it were packaged with the membership I remember back in the days, dianabol caplets were selling like hotcakes in these gyms, with men popping them like m&ms.

king_koofal Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I regularly work out in a gym in kalentong which is named X-Gym. Most of my peermates there are addicted to protein supplements and heavy weight lifting, but I do not want to look like them (gusto ko yung katawan ko eh pangromansa lang). Most of them are in an organization of a bouncer. Quote Link to comment

king_koofal Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 this is the problem with some hard core gyms. As mentioned on previous posts most machines are welded by the owner or had it made in a welding shop. Some of the machines are not in the right angle; that is why even if you max out the weight for it it is still light. I have proven this lately when I went to a well known gym with my friend and the weight I usually lift on the hardcore gym is too heavy to me at the gym where my friend goes to Quote Link to comment
AmBlue Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 You can get juice at any gym, if you look hard enough and in the right places. If you journey down that road though, know that these are not safe and some are fake. I work out at one of the Gold's Gyms here after having been at Fitness First for two years. I supplement my weight work with three days at Ringside. Hardcore is the person, not necessarily the place. Quote Link to comment
