15 kg are the heaviest. Guess I'm going for that high rep range dumbell press (•_•)

Hotel "gyms" are often... underwhelming if you're looking to do anything other than cardio

I'm at an all-inclusive resort... cardio is taking a deload

Looks like someone had to pay an excess luggage fee on the flight home.

Could you do reps with the rack?

Weirdest spot-request ever

Duct-tape-frankenbell time!

Well I've actually just started and I can confirm that doing north of 30 reps is not fun

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

And that was on the incline. Just done 40 on the flat

Guess I'm doing cardio after all

Does make you wonder why they opted for a dumbbell rack like that. Hotel gyms really are a dice roll.

Lmao, we had one like that, it was just a little conservatory with like 2 machines and a weight rack, with barely any floor space. Because it was summer the room was completely unusable.

This is the answer. In a hotel things like pool / sauna / games room / etc.. are always a dice roll. It'll either be the cheapest thing the owners can put together without actually being sued or incredible.

Hotels offer complimentary weights?
