Cable machines. There are 100 pound plates in my gym too, so I never have to worry about maxing out my weight on a hammer machine.

You got 100LB plates??? You lucky S.O.B. The only machines that I use in my gym that sucks is the seated calf raise machine, you can only load it with 6 45's but up in the womens only section of the gym they have a pneumatic seated calf raise machine that does the equivalent of 650lbs.

Yeah, I think there are four of them. The demographic in my gym is moving towards a more hardcore group of guys. There are still your average joe guys going there but its not really targeted towards any strength group in particular.

The bars in my gym are cheap though. One guy, this powerlifter, he loaded up a bar until it had a little over 1000 pounds on it. so he has it in the power rack and did a partial deadlift, the bar bent and the plates started to slip off. The bar stood bent after he put it down on the rack again.

It would take one strong bastard to even move it.

[Thomas_Rivera]

Yeah he was massive.

I have read many things written by him and it makes alot more sense than the bull**** that goes into the muscle and ****ness magazines.

[Escobar187]

i hate CYBEX machines. we had those at school, and granted they were old, they really blew. they were also uncomfortable and the ROM was always sacrficed.
