Now I found a new gym that allows everything, costs $20 a month, and is NEVER packed. Fuck yes.

DB press is better for shoulder mass anyway, and i doubt he has any issue with you using the smith machine for OHP

is this an american thing? Never had an issue with this

Seated barbell overhead press uses the least shoulder fibres from standing bb & db and seated db. Anything done standing is better

use dumbbells OP

>>37262624
Same shit. He literally said don't put weights over your head.

>>37262586
Yes.

>tfw standing plank
>tfw standing pushups
Other than those and a few others, I completely agree with standing being better. Great for hitting your stabilising groups.

>>37262772
Wut? So you can't DB press laying down either? Is his mom also his sister?

>>37262625
Same here, my Anytime is really chill.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything
>family atmosphere
Wtf are there kids running around and they're scared you'll drop bar on them accidentally
>insurance reasons
Don't they make you need to sign some kind of waiver (or whatever they're called) when you're signing up first time to prevent potential lawsuits

Fuck
I recently moved and there is only one gym nearby
Now i'm worried that they have some retard policy like that

>>37262564
I go to a Goodlife and they don't have any of those stupid rules
