I'm sorry for writing this in English. My Danish isn't too good.....yet. But I read Danish pretty well so if you feel like answering you should just do so in Danish.

I just moved over here to Cph and now I have to find a good place to train in. I don't like Fitnessdk and these big stations. They don't have enough plates or dumbbells and it doesn't really help to have Justin Timberlake and Rihanna in your ears in your fifth deadlift-set.

My questions are:

Where do the bodybuilders and power-lifters of Copenhagen train?

Is there any famous "power-hole" in the city?

The gym ligger i københavn. Der er mange herinde fra der træner der og faciliteterne er vidst heller ikke helt dårlige, det er ihf. i en helt anden boldgade end FDK og FitnessWorld.

Thinks !

I looked at the website and it seems very nice.

But I'm thinking more about a basic power-lifting place where the atmosphere is more important then the showers, where plates under 20 kg are used to hold doors and where you hear the guys lift. I guess some would call it hardcore.

Thats the gym! The fact they keep the place nice and clean doesnt mean its not 'hardcore'. There are quite a few videos in this thread "weekly the gym updates", you can feel the atmosphere pretty well from those.

where do you live in copenhagen?

Thinks.

I looked at the videos. That looks good. I must have misjudged it from the website.

Are there any other places where the best bodybuilders and power-lifters train?

I live in Frederiksberg but I'm most likely moving to Vesterbro soon.

It guess it kind of depends on whether or not youre a juicer...

Take a look at www.templegym.dk - Bodybuilder place.

At least I'm not going to train in a station that's a part of a anti-doping program.

The Gym is part of the Danish anti-doping program - Temple Gym is not.

Thinks for the info.

Do you know any other good gyms that isn't a part of Anti-doping Denmark?

If you're concerned about the anti-doping program, I would choose TempleGym which is primary for bodybuilders. If not, The Gym is the place to be with a great mix of bodybuilders, fitness athletes and powerlifters

Not really a lot of gyms around, with the preferences you seek. Temple Gym and The gym is about the only 2 I can come up with. You could also try looking for a powerlifter club at this site: http://www.styrke.dk/ - I think this is your only options, if you dont know anybody with a secret hardcore gym

I wouldnt recommend a powerlifting club since all the powerlifting clubs are a part af ADDs program

Why is it important that your future gym is not part of ADD?

If you are looking for heavy DB's and the opportunity to train hard and go all out. The places mentioned gives you that, another option is Energym in Brøndby, they are part of ADD, but then again most places are since it gives a better rep. in the public eye

Selv som clean; jo størrere og stærkere mænd der er, jo bedre atmosfære kommer der til at presse sig selv til det ypperste.

Ja men det er næppe grundlaget for så stærkt et ønske om at man ikke vil have noget med ADD centre at gøre

Selvfølgelig er det fordi han er dopet, men dit svar er både dumt og provokerende Dingo...

Med mindre han har tænkt sig at lege doping pusher, vil sandsynligheden for at han bliver testet være minimal, du arbejder selv i SATS Dingo, hvor tit er det ADD kigger forbi?

I al den tid jeg har trænet har jeg aldrig set skyggen af ADD

Nice to get this conversation going !

I began it to see if someone could help me finding a good "power-gym" and I think I've found what I was looking for.

If I'm juicing or not isn't really relevant in my eyes but I can tell you since you seem to be interested.

I'm not and I haven't for over three years. When I did I was competing on a high level in both athletics and power-sports....against guys that were also pumped up on everything that helps to get little further.

There are different reasons for why I want to train at a place that isn't a part of ADD.

The most important is that I don't believe that a place that is a part of ADD has the ambition to have the very best guys and I don't think the very best guys want to train where ADD might visit. One of the ways to be one of the best is to train with the others with the same ambition.

Some might think I'm looking for a place to sell or buy at. That's not the case. I'm not buying and day soon and I've never been in the business of selling juice.

I hope you find the gym you are looking for. I belive your best choise to be energym or tempelgym, but then again I dont realy know of any underground gyms, would be interesting to know what gym you end up choosing
