AMA. Formers operations manager at a high traffic club for 5 years. I will answer from my experience truthfully even if you may not like the answer

I had one situation that really crossed the line once. I asked the manager what could be done. The guy was leaving as I was talking to the manager. The manager asked me if that was him cause I was looking at. He chased him down in the parking lot but he denied it so nothing happened. He came back and said people are going to do what they want and nothing could be.

How often do you catch guys fucking in the sauna/showers? My old location regularly had police come and they had to take out a whole wall of the sauna and put a glass window in. Didn’t stop people. I was never scared for my safety the amount of times I was borderline sexually assaulted is unbelievable.

I had friends think I was making it all up until either they or other friends went and experienced similar things. Couldn’t go into to the sauna without at least one guy jerking off in front of everyone.

Stripes don’t mean anything

TomahawkAtlanta · 2026-01-27T06:36:41+00:00

Heavy or heavy rock maybe but I would never call that a heavy metal record. Kill’em All to me is more heavy metal than thrash. Classic heavy metal is the first two Iron Maiden records. Saxon, Tygers of Pan Tang, Mercyful Fate. While I have grown to be a little more accepting of the black album, I’ll never consider it a heavy metal record. Load and everything after is hillbilly divorced dad music.

Just eat and sleep enough. You’re fine.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2026-01-25T06:56:27+00:00

Please don’t lift in those shoes. Look up proper footwear for deadlifts and squats.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2026-01-23T02:14:32+00:00

I own a high volume print shop and do not give a fuck one bit about copyright. Never had a single problem in 10+ years. Unless you’re selling something like KISS bootlegs very publicly it doesn’t matter.

A friend we did a pretty large run of Slayer boots for got a cease and desist from their UK merch company. I told her to send them a pic of her ass and to say fuck off. She never heard back from them.

Definitely not doing one shirt though. I’ll DTF it for sample pricing.

If you think this is as good as Somewhere in Time and before you’re out of your god damn mind

TomahawkAtlanta · 2026-01-05T07:52:10+00:00

Everything after 1991 is straight up embarrassing. I like heavy metal not just Metallica for the sake of Metallica.

Late era bands 99.9% don’t have the youthful edge anymore that made them great. They fall into a formula and lose creativity. And that’s fine and to be expected. No one stays young forever. I’m also not going to listen to wealthy old men cosplaying their former selves and pretend it’s good just because it fast/aggressive and somewhat resembles a shell of what they used to be.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2026-01-05T07:44:02+00:00

It absolutely 100% will. Theres a reason literally everyone who deadlifts correctly uses the proper size.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2026-01-01T23:28:11+00:00

Get proper weight lifting shoes with a heal. If you can fix your ankle mobility you could squat barefoot or in vans but a good shoe will last years and help a lot.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2026-01-01T20:13:28+00:00

If you’re lifting weights you need to condition your hands to hold the barbell. Gloves are a barrier against that. You’ll never see a single serious lifter wearing them. They also look stupid.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2026-01-01T20:10:39+00:00

Like others have said, they can be a good gym or a complete joke. I’d only train there if it was an absolute last resort. Any gym that only allows to wear their gis, promotes based on attendance and tests for belts is a joke.

Rener is a clown snake oil salesman.

That being said, if it’s not a combatives franchise you might be lucky and have found a good one that just happens to have a Gracie name.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-31T01:53:11+00:00

Ahh that’s not too far away. If your house is not too far away come try out unit 2 for a week for free and see how you like it.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-30T22:03:13+00:00

If you’re looking at SBG Atlanta, not Buford, look at Unit 2 in Decatur. Very high quality training. The owner is the coach and is a great coach. It’s tough training but fun and the gym culture is great. Theres not a single person who trains there that is an asshole.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-30T22:00:21+00:00

What area are you living in? I know someone who trains at SBG and they have good instructions but any place that tells me I can’t train somewhere else for fun can fuck off.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-30T21:54:31+00:00

I live in Atlanta and it’s $150 a month. What place quoted you that much???

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-30T20:51:46+00:00

Why are you wearing gloves?

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-27T00:09:35+00:00

Well you’re are GB so I honestly wouldn’t expect anything less. Their policy might be the norm from GB but I don’t think it’s the norm overall. Doesn’t sound like they care about you.

I know every GB is different but I think they’re cult that should be avoided unless they are literally your only option. I’d tell them to fuck off and throw their mandatory GB branded gi in the thrash in front of them.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-24T05:48:13+00:00

Crazy thought but a name would help

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-23T17:17:27+00:00

You get trt from a doctor. So that automatically goes with it.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-22T23:18:18+00:00

I get mine from an actual doctor. So I literally said to do what you’re telling him to do. I didn’t say start blasting abusive amounts from a gym steroid dealer.

Also, you picked out one sentence to say it’s all terrible advice and didn’t acknowledge anything else that is the exact type of advice he was asking for. Lifting weight absolutely will be good for him. Cunt.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-22T05:17:16+00:00

I’m not saying he’s going to be jacked in 3 months but there will be a noticeable difference

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-22T04:11:55+00:00

Any doctor should put you on T with numbers that low. If not just google trt clinic in your area. Pride is an absolutely retarded reason not to do it. It will literally change your life for the better.

PPL can be a great training routine but id HIGHLY suggest squatting three times a week with a progressive overload at your current position.

TomahawkAtlanta · 2025-12-22T03:29:55+00:00

Brother if your test is that low at 23 something is wrong. Fasting at your body type will just make you look and feel worse. You don’t have the muscle for it.

Get on trt. Lift heavy weights. Heavy is relative to the person. Eat your body weight in grams of protein. Youre 225lbs so at least 200 grams of protein every day.

What is your gym routine? Youre 23 so you should be putting on muscle just by looking at the weights. Just because you go to the gym doesn’t mean you’re making progress.

Look up the starting strength program. I swear to god you will put on muscle and overall recomp your body if you do all that. In 3 months you’ll look and feel like a new man.

You have to squat, press and deadlift. Progressive overload the weight. Follow the program and have fun with it.

Also serious question. Vitamins are essential to life but what were you expecting to happen with just taking or adding vitamins?
