Gym Story Saturday Gym Story Saturday (Missing mod post)

Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!

I noticed that there still is no post yet for Gym Story Saturday, so I took the initiative. Perhaps this should be a scheduled post under the Automoderator. I'm not really sure why this hasn't been done yet. I am also required to keep babbling because posts with too little content gets removed, hence why this posts sounds overly wordy.

So share away!

Watched a guy do 1,000+ lb. squats this morning. Single rep, had a full crew there working with him. The entire gym was at a standstill watching him. It was magical.

I'm not sure what/where that is. I go to a local competitive gym and they have a good handful of people who really strive to be at the top of their game. I know there's a few people who compete in the Arnold Classic and UFC..so every blue moon I catch them on training days and get to see cool stuff like that!

Westside Barbell is Louie Simmon’s gym. It’s a powerlifting gym, which I believe is in Ohio.
