I'm a poorfag and need someplace to lift until my situation improves. Is PF worth it if they only have smith machines for squats/bench/deads?

It’s better than nothing. Yeah, it’s pretty much the lowest tier gym, but you can still make the best of it since it’s better than nothing.
if there is a crunch close by i would recommend it instead. same pricing but without all the retarded rules. other than that you could look for a locally owned gym with low price, they exist.
What sort of retarded rules does planet fitness even have?
>deadlifts
See pic related
It's better than nothing and I would recommend you just use the Smith machines and the dumbbells, but try finding a better place soon.
We literally only have chains around here and lowest cost is 23$ for a year contract
you cant do any barbell exercises
some faggot, only there for the free candy, will get "offended" by you and have you removed
planet shitfest is a scam made and targeted to normalfags with no spine. Everything there is designed to keep fat fucks from lossing weight so they keep coming back
why the fuck you cant do ohp?
I get that. I don't think my PF even has barbells. But like I said it's the only option
They have the smith, dumbells, and some good machines for things like rows and pulldowns from what I see online. Basically you'll just miss out on barbells which is fine. If you can get over how shitty the place is go for it.
do everything with dumbbells and just squat on the smith machine, better than nothing
It would GYMtimidate the other members
Lifting shit over your head is alpha as fuck, can't spook the middle aged women like that.
it's a place to exercise. it's better than nothing. do more reps since the dumbbells top out at 60.
Possible injury idfk
Look for nearby ads on Facebook for cheap weights like I did.
Meanwhile, PF is your only option at the moment. Take it
the PF i go to doesnt enforce any of those retarded rules
No grunting during a rep is pretty much the main one that everyone hates. If you make more than 3 decibels of sound then they blare this fucking siren that lets everyone know. Gym is shitty anyways so they’re doing nothing but killing their business this way.
I work out like this in public anyway. You look way badder when youre lifting 1.5x as much as the jacked dude next to you and you're not even blinking
screaming is for roid ragers and dyel retards.
UH OH LUNK ALARM! TEEHEE!!
>but killing their business this way
PF has the best business models of any gym chain. They attract a wide pool of people with low prices and particularly cater to fat asses with their rules that shame anyone actually trying to do real work in the gym and provide a safe space for fragile female egos. Most of the idiots paying for a membership barely ever go anyway and just keep paying the low fee, equipment maintenance is minimal. The jews who run that company are making bank.
YouFit is the same price but has more free weights. See if there’s one around you. Best beginner gym
Post body
It's always the big guys that grunt and actually exert themselves in the gym. And it's always the fucking dyels that look like a dead fish while lifting.
Why do dyels want a place to not actually work out that is also technically a gym?
Do you have a YMCA near you? They're not SUPER expensive.
Grunting is not the same as screaming and its nearly impossible not to grunt once you get past baby weight due to the fact that you must brace your core and release that pressure at least once per set. If you watch videos of powerlifters and oly lifters you will see they sound like they open an air compressor after every set.
