RANT!

RANT!

Ok, we are all at fault! I know I have "dumped" my fair share of Thrusters from over head.

With that said we MUST change our behavior. For member safety, your safety and so TitanFit is not buying new equipment daily, let’s take better care of the equipment we have.

As examples, no one needs to:
Drop a High Pull from chin high
Drop a Kettlebell from over head
Release the handle on the rowing machine versus placing it back in the cradle

YES, I understand there are times to dump the weights (e.g. failed personal record attempts). In fact I encourage you to do so, for your own safety, during Olympic lifting. It is not necessary, however, to dump a 45 lbs or 65 lbs Thruster from over head. When possible, which is most of the time by the way, lower the weight to hip level before you release. Doing so will prevent the loaded bar/Kettelbell/Dumbell from injuring you, the member working next to you and will allow us all to continue to utilize/enjoy the equipment we all use to get better.

We continually describe TitanFit and its members as family. As such treat the equipment as if it were your own. It is after all.
