I really like it. Good atmosphere and everything I need. The boss lets me buy stuff (kettlebells, chains) and keep it there, too.

No one apart from me really lifts "heavy" but we've got a few really good natty bodybuilders here.

One guy is about as muscular as I imagine you can get without juicing... I'm trying to persuade him to try give powerlifting a go. We really need to swap routines, I think... He's big, but very weak for his size and I've got the muscle mass of a pre-pubecent girl, but pretty honed lifting technique!
