I just wanted to post an update that I went to Gold's Gym on Saturday and I braved the free weights granted, there wasn't much to brave as only 3 guys were there. I picked up some 15 lb (bc they didn't have 12) dumbbells and did some bicep curls.
As I was standing there between sets, I happened to glance up and see a giant sign of "free weight rules" tacked up above the mirror. And, I kid you not, the very FIRST rule was "No grunting, yelling, or intimidating other members." I had to laugh to myself about this one! So, I wasn't imagining things; they really were intimidating. I have belonged to a couple of different gyms and this is the first one where I have seen that rule.
And, of course, not only was it a rule, but it was the first rule. I'm sure they would not have put it up there if they had no reason to do it.
But anyway, I think I'm going to try to go during the middle of the day as much as possible because it is nice and quiet with hardly anyone there.

So glad you are back into working out. That is funny that that is a rule:) I will have to look at the first Y rule next time I go, just to see what it is. Probably, wear tennis shoes and apropiate clothing or something like that.
