Anyone done cleans at commercial gyms before?
-
Topic as above.
I did them today for fun at Delta Clubfitt (not my training day today,but brought someone else there) -
Most people wouldnt know how to do
Most people would rather do other exercise
Most gyms wont allow it -
-
I would use the bars found in commercial gyms - will screw up your joints.

I only do it to clean up my deadlift bar up into my military press bar position. Of course I unload the bar till it's only 60kg.
And yeah, if you wanna do cleans, make sure the bar collars rotate smoothly. The ones at my gym could use some lube. -
huh.... my gym got one very noosey instructor. If u try funny thing like deadlift, he'll come over and say this say that....unless u bigger then him
dun even think abt cleans.... not that i know what it is... -

gombak.
about 1.6m, lean guy, but rather muscular, at least by my standards.
He'll approach anyone new in the gym the advises them how to train till can be like him. He advocates super-slow movements, using light weights and elastic bands.
He got into an argument once with an old uncle. The old uncle was doing standing biceps curls using a barbell, but the form was wrong, he was swinging back and fro. The instructor ask him to change to a lighter weight, the uncle refuses and say he is fine with it....
Some dun like him and the way he trains. But aunties loved him!! haha -
is it the guy that will tell anyone even those who already are muscular what to do?
I heard an instructor of that nature somewhere, he even advised a big sized bber to do bicep curls with 1kg
OK to be frank, i think he is too wussy to do the big lifts and doesnt want anyone else doing them. -
I think I saw that uncle before! I went to peek in at the gym once a few years ago while waiting for the shuttle bus to BBDC. Then I saw this uncle jerking while doing bicep curls.Originally posted by airgrinder:gombak.
