There are two new benches, one free weight, the other a smith machine. Both have a considerable amount of weight to use. So I doubt the lack of free weights will deter the 'grunters' . Besides what's the problem, I've trained with such characters, they not only motivate, but are friendly people, and women who think they solely go to these gyms to ogle them, are pretty self absorbed really. Just stand up for yourself and use the stuff God dammit. You can?t bubble wrap society.
