Hi fellow bodybuilders, I v got a question about workout places. Im not terribly good at writing Danish so ill do with English instead, hope its ok.

I v been doing bodybuilding for 3 weeks now, workout 5 times a week with a very strict clean bulk diet (thinking about throwing 2-3 dirty bulk diet into my program per week) and lots of sleep. My goal for now is to increase mass and strength from 66kg of weight to 95 - 100kg, later on ill work on definition. Im 183cm tall, and so far I gained 4kg from 66.4kg to 70.5kg, not that fast if you consider the water retention for beginners.

My problem is im working out at a local fitness center called Lyngby Fitness in Lyngby KBH, and the place doesn’t seem very serious, with no one lifting heavy things and im the only one there doing squats and deadlift… and finding a decent training partner is even harder when your not surrounded by the people with the same goal as you… they talk too much BS during training…

So I was wondering if by any chance there is a bodybuilder here that knows a decent place close to Lyngby with lots of big dudes working out there, so I can get inspired and possibly find a decent training partner.

Thx in advance

Hi,
First of all welcome to the board:)

You seem very serious about your workout, so finding a good workout buddy, schouldn´t have to be a problem.
Some of the dudes here at the board are from copenhagen, so I guess that they will have an answer for you.

I just wanted to welcome you

I live in Lyngby and go to school close to Nørreport so anywhere close to these 2 places are fine. And thx for welcoming me to the forum.

Alright.
As far as I know are there a gym called S.A.T.S nearby nørreport. But im not sure, feel free to correct me if im wrong.
Where you from?

I´m not very big, check my log for pictures, but I live quite close to lyngby. I´m also looking for some serious guys to work out with. I´ve heard about FitnessWorld, it should be quite nice. I don´t know if it´s very bodybuilding friendly, but it´s as cheap as Lyngby Fitness but it lies in Østerbro. It lays where the old cinema was, at Hans Knudsens Plads, but it´s no problem to get out there, just take the 150S bus. The adress is Lyngbyvej 62, check their HP out:
http://www.fitnessworld.dk then press the "Østerbro" button.
I´ve also looked at the scrawny to brawny program, I´m looking for som advices for a so called body-type 3 "The Muscular Bastard".

Hey Buffysboy...Welcome to this site.
It is a commen mistake with many Danish amateur bodybuilders that they don´t use much squat and especially deadlift.
In my gym there are 5 or 6 guys using squat and no one who uses deadlift - myself included. I know that it is a lacking part in my training program and I´m trying to pull myself together

Iv heard bad things about SATS from a friend who s worked out there, said it has a "soccer mom" environment, iv never been to SATS myself though.

Im looking for a gym with well rounded equipments for bodybuilders (im mostly concerned with safety rack for squats since I don’t have a partner) and a hardcore environment. Im wondering where all the bodybuilders work out here in Copenhagen…

Well if there isn’t any decent gym to my proximity there are always power lifting clubs.

From the look of that site it s another fitness center for casual people who have never experienced pain from a workout... but hey i could be wrong.

Concerning body types, yes some people turn to grow faster due to their generics. But personally if you give 200% during your workout, putting your body under constant stress while eating tons, like 6000 cals of clean food or more per day together with lots of sleep, your body has no choice but to grow in order to counter that stress. Overtraining is not possible if you take care of yourself this way, and you should always be aware of the signs of overtraining.

I´m willing to give Fitnessworld a shot, but anyway it is the only serious place I´ve seen in the outher area of Copenhagen. They have dumbbells up to 34kg, even though bodybuilders might not be what Fitnessworld sets as primary customers, I think that the fascilities are very fine. It however seems so.

I live close to lyngby and I train at a place called Rundforbi in Nærum. The gym is basically a basement with old equipment, but it works . I don´t know if you can call it a serious place to train, but people are only doing weightlifting, because there aren´t any fitness machines. It´s really cheap and once in a while some really heavy guys come down there to train. Other than them, most of them who train down there are 16 or older. So I would recommend you to find a partner before you go train there.

Hah! Sejt, jeg går i parallelklasse (1.g på NAG) med nogle der træner dernede. Bl.a. Michael Knudsen og Vagner. Hvor meget vægt er der dernede? er der squatstativ og mulighed for dødløft? hvor store frivægte er der dernede? er det ikke ret slidt?

ja ved godt hvem de er. Ja der er squatstativ og mulighed for dødløft. Men hvis du skal træne med håndvægte skal du nok selv samle den, det er meget sparsomt med de "færdiglavet" håndvægte. Tilgengæld har vi rigtig mange kiloskiver

Hmm.. måske værd at tjekke ud. hvor meget koster det, og kan man komme ned og kigge?

55 kr per måned og 300 kr depositum for nøglen. Det er lidt svært at komme ned og kigge hvis du ikke kender nogen der har en nøgle, men ellers kan du altid spørge en af de ansatte på rundforbi om de vil åbne for dig
