No squat rack either, no ground work, no dead-lift, pizza and doughnuts outside.... sounds more like a "come hear to feel better fatty" kinda place not a gym.

I was predominantly a thrower (highland games) and we trained similarly ...85 plus percent is a slow movement and generally done off season, during season we would lift in the 65 to 70 percent range focusing on technic and moving the weight fast, the other consideration is max lifts reduce flexibility. would fit with the mma requirements also....and our focus was Olympic lifts, then power movements.

And to add, thank heavens I never had that sex change back when I was 24.
I would have been so unhappy now.
No really, I think different genes get switched on during different phases of our lives.
Therefore, in my experience, don't mess with your natural body.
I like my male body now, it took a long time to be comfortable.
But thank you Lord that I kept it.

The question is, why did I want this, why did I start bodybuilding?
Well, the older people, just like they took care of me once, so now I take care of them.
And I've done Karate, martial arts whatever.
But sorry, the truth is - bigger is better.
And the secret is not to fight - you want to look like somebody they don't even want to fight with.
Yeah, and it works.

This ain't the States. Litigation like this wouldn't get far. A waste of the court's time. We're too busy with human rights tribunals. Now if the lifter was a minority it might fly.
