anyone go to the gym expo in Sydney over the weekend??

[TM7GTR]

ronnie coleman and pectorial brother were there

Filex? was meant to go but didnt get to it in the end. Have gone previously to the conferences and the expo. I love it to be honest. Seeing some of the latest trends and equipment coming through the industry is always a bonus.

Unfortunately it does attract some meat heads, but still a fantastic event.

Over in WA we have a much smaller event known as WAFIC. Unfortunately nothing like Filex.

What did you guys think?

In the mirror ;-)

[dezz]

Good news.. I've reached 70kg!!

I've been using the basic workout you guys recommended earlier. Also a mate has started working out with me, so we're definitely pushing much harder.

Been going strong since Feb so it's pretty much dead on 2kg gain a month, couldn't be happier!!

Cheers for the advice dudes, now onto 75...

WTF is Ronnie doing at a gym in derrimut lol.

My workout was painful tonight. Not because of exercise, but watching two brothers or possibly a father and son go at it. You know those pairs you get, where one guy has a little bit of muscle and he's showing his skinny friend or relative the ropes.

I refrained from telling them they're doing it (i.e. everything) wrong, cause I know how annoyng it can be when people have approach you about correcting your routine...but I did enjoy some laughs at their expense. Lat pulldowns and the younger one (skinny kid about 16/17) has the older one pushing down to help him on every rep right from the start? Drop the f**king weight if you can't lift it! Then he tried it solo and he was practically bouncing on the seat, with the bar severely biased and lacking a strict technique. Older brother or father was watching him do this and seemed to think it was legit? Next up, I'm doing squats and I see them doing one arm tricep pushdowns with the cables, with the worst range of motion and no strict action...then after a set the young skinny runt lifts his sleeve to check out his arm in the mirror...I lost my shit at that. Seemed like the kind of person who remarks "I feel bigger already" after leaving the gym on their first visit. Their gym etiquette sucked a big one too...they were taking caribeenas and grips from right next to my feet without asking if I was using them, farkin noobs.

The gym in derrimut is meant to be the biggest one going around (almost like the size of a bunnings warehouse ) and is 24 hours sporting every single piece of equipment. It even caters for MMA fighting ie. training.

[dezz]

Biggest gym in Australia

[25GTT]

Would love to see it, the website looks good. Is it privately run? if so good on em for doing something of that size! It is a bold statement though to promote yourselves as the biggest do you think?

What do you guys feel though constitutes as a gym? by catering for MMA fighting do you mean that there Is a boxing ring as part of that gym?

Basketball courts are known as "gyms" especially in the U.S. but i still hear that terminology today in day to day coversations etc. So if basketball courts are termed as gyms, then there may be some bigger "gyms" out there than derrimut

Derrimut gym still is impressive none the less.

My work is bigger than a bunnings, however, again, its a fine line as to what is and isnt a gym.

[dezz]

I'd say it's a gym, and wouldn't think there'd be many as big or even close...

IMO they went a bit overboard with the size of the supplement store and the amount they have on the shelves, but I guess they wanted everything on a big scale..

There's basically 3 sections of gym stuff so far, crossfit stuff, Olympic rings etc, a wrestling mat, boxing ring, massive cardio area, 16 or so squat racks side by side, and they don't even take up half of one of the 3 sections...

As far as I know it's privately owned... I'll try get some photos tonight to give you an idea of the size.

Upstairs is empty from what I can see from outside, so even more stuff will go up there... Classes I'm guessing

Interested in photos, sounds like a dream gym...and if I'm on the right website, their fees look real cheap

[-FIGJAM-]

go to their facebook page.
