Work on your war cry!

Seriousness aside, I ask fitness folk online what the point is of a gym. If you are serious about it (they are) surely you buy your own equipment and train in the comfort of your own home?

One said he does have his own equipment and that [while people would deny it] the gym is entirely for social interaction.

I suggest watching, broScienceLife, most of his videos are bad, actually they are all bad.

What should I suggest to my downstairs neighbors when I do deadlifts?

Less weight, put it down gently? If you are a nerd about it you know that Eccentric contractions build more muscle than concentric.

If I know I'm going to bother my neighbors (with parties for example) I buy them gifts and talk with them about it. Sometimes they just want to party along. Can adapt the schedule etc

Gyms are not forbidden if it makes sense?
