>new gyms opening around my area
>all of them are meme machines only and dumbbels go up only to 10kg

The one i go to is "ok" for barbels and dumbbels but i can't even squat because they only have smith machine, not to mention deadlifts

i just want a old school 24h gym

>circular plates

What are these? The plates at my gym are all square, it makes storage a lot easier

If there truly square (which I've never seen before) I don't think it's that big of a problem. The issue with like hexagonal or dodecagonal plates is that the little spin a plate gets when you deadlift fucks up the positioning when you lower the weight, and the bar either rolls towards or away from you.
