    College Gyms - USA

    It is often mentioned how much depth there is in the US when it comes to BB'ing - I guess when kids grow up in these kind of environments it certainly helps. Also bear in mind the knowledge base which designs these places in the first place. First couple of pics Colgate College, NY and the others are Davidson College, NC. Have to admit, a little bit of wee came out when I first saw these...

    Collegiate Football demands these set ups, therefore they get a lot of funding.

    Nice set up's, those pics put every Aussie uni gym I've seen to shame. College sports in the US get better TV coverage then our pro leagues. As with most things in the states it can all be explained by the benjamins.
    I just saw my parents having sex, that's the last time I visit that website.

    It would also seem People/Organsations/Gov in the US know how to use their benjamins much better.

    Holy crap!!! I want my gym to have just ONE of those power racks.... with the deadlift/olympic lift platform. And be able to use it with a bit of powder and grunting without being grumped at.

    So this is where all that Iraq oil money went......

    OK. Sorry Vas but you have been had. I have just looked at the pics again and they are all fake.

    There are no weights scattered about on the floor by the last douchebag to do curls in the squat rack.
    There are no drink bottles left on the floor by said douchebag.
    There is no "trainer" with a 6 month TAFE course under his belt, a bad attitude and a bosu ball hanging about to tell you that you cant use that bit of gear like that.
    Said douche trainer is not telling you to stop squatting deep as it is "bad for your knees"
    There are no gym bags tossed into the middle of the floor.
    There are no signs on the wall telling you to put your weights away, possibly the most common notice in the world and the one most ignored.
