Gotta Find a New Gym...Got Booted Today

I was doing some 5x10 volume sets after my normal work up and was doing just the plain barbell for OHP. The head trainer or whoever comes at me for not following rule #11 A collar is required at all times regardless of weight. I told her she was a fricking moron and apparently that necessitated my removal. Oh well it was free, but it’s time to move on.

This happened to me once. I took the barbell and twisted it into a pretzel and wrapped it around her head. Then flicked my cig in her face and crop dusted all of the cardio bunnies on my way out the door. When I revved up the camero and peeled out of the strip mall parking lot I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw their shocked little chubby faces in my rear view.

That sucks, but that trainer is an idiot.
My gym bought Bumper plates for Deadlifts, but I've yet to use them. The manager saw me Deadlifting one time, and I thought he was gonna yell at me for not using the bumper plates. He just asked why I didn't use them, and I just said it was habit. He acknowledged that I am good at controlling my weight, and let me go about my business.
Sometimes business owners need to just let people be.

What's a collar in this regard?

pretty sure they are referring to the clamp that keeps the weight from falling off if the bar is tilted to one side.

you saying she told you to use a collar without weights on the bar?
rule are rules
I'm pretty sure you got kicked out because you were trying to tell everyone about keto.

Gym dress codes are out of control.
All kidding aside - clamps/collars (or the absence of) is a safety issue on certain lifts like bench press. Hard to dump the weight with one of those on there.

doing just the plain barbell
Wait...do you mean she asked you to put clamps on an EMPTY barbell? Because if so, then yeah she's a fricking moron.
Otherwise, just abide by their stupid little rules. No chalk, no jeans blah blah blah. Funny that they never bitch at the CrossFit idiots for slamming their weights down and letting them bounce all over the place like a pinball.

Yes just a bare steel barbell, zero weights, bands, or chains on it.

See at first I thought you were the a-hole but then you clarified this..
WTF purpose does a collar serve if there's no weight on the bar?
I probably wouldn't call anyone a moron especially if I have access to a free gym... But that is stupid.

Dont think I have seen an MWR ran gym on base have these soft rules but I did get fussed at the gym on post to change from a tank top to regular shirt because "my nips could come out" meanwhile fat green hair dependa females are running around in sports bras doing their 25 pound lunges.

Wow. But you did call her a moron. Regardless if she is or not, you shouldn't have said that.
But do you want to be at a place where the workers don't have an understanding of whats going on in there?
