Metroflex's Founding:
Taken from Brian Dobson's eBook (available at MetroflexGymTraining.com):
"My name is Brian Dobson and I started Metroflex Gym in 1987 because I
was a hardcore bodybuilder and very few of the gyms in the area
catered to the "hardcore" audience. This was the beginning of the
fitness craze, and most of the gyms which started during that time
shied away from offering the hardcore bodybuilder an opportunity to
train heavy and intensely.
These gyms frowned upon lifts such as deadlifts, heavy squats, and
other strongman and powerlifting moves -- which are the very lifts
necessary to build terrific strength and muscle! The gyms even
frowned upon dumping heavy dumbbells on the floor, grunting loud,
motivational yelling at your training partner, and mostly, they were
concerned with making money to a far greater extent that helping their
members get big and strong.
Almost none of the gyms even offered good
advice, let alone a great environment, for the bodybuilder, power
lifter, strongman, and combat athlete to become bigger & stronger and,
ultimately, better athletes."
