Weight Room on the Enterprise

I wonder if there's a Lunk Alarm in their weight room. And do you think Dr. McCoy has the hookup on teh 'roidz?
 
^^^That doesn't mean they didn't exist. It seems implied that the gyms on the ships would be a little more complete than just mats.
A more proper gym was shown in Enterprise. Logically, Kirk's ship would have more complete gyms than Archer's.
 
^^^Well, it definitely seems reasonable that they'd have gyms on the Enterprise, but judging by the physical appearance of the crew members, they're not using it. I'd think they'd really be doing some explosive lifting around 60% of their 1 rep max for, say 8-10 sets of 3 in order to really blast their fast twitch muscle fibers.

There's no way for them to know ahead of time what sort of life forms they'll come across, and sometimes their phasers don't work so they should be better prepared to really throw some people around in the event of hand-to-hand combat. But I mean, Crusher? Chekov? Those guys look like skinny little piss ants. What's gonna happen to them when some burly Klingon comes at them and they don't have functioning phasers on them? Some MMA practice and some heavy weightlifting are in order for all of those guys.
 
How comes if we know that fitness is so important in teh future that the Enterprise didn't have a regularly featured weight room?

I always thought Kirk was a little soft.

What was his bench press, squat, and deadlift numbers?

Kirk soft? Come on. Kirk had more scraps than any of the other Starfleet captains.

There was a gym on the Enterprise. Kirk tried to give Charlie Evans some sparring lessons at the gym until he killed Kirk's sparring partner
 
I think some of the idea was by the 23 century, martial arts has progressed to where skill and finess were more important than brute force size.
 
An episode of DS9 shows Nog lifting and advising jake on lifting on the station. It makes no sense to imagine that that was the only weight room in star fleet.

Kirk i imagine was in good shape, but unfortunately the actor who played him might not have been.

I Imagine in the 23rd century most martial arts would be identical to themselves now- Judo and Karate have been around for over 100 years almost unchanged. Still even those fighting styles allow a skilled practitioner to defeat someone much stronger.
 
i think kirk was a natty but some of the other species were definetely on roids.

do you think they took dat dere creatinz? that shiz would make them rage!

I'd let Kirk give me some sparring lessons;)
 
back on topic


do you think they have a squat rack in the enterprise weight room or would it be more like planet fitness with row after row of treadmills and pink dumbells? do you think there's a lunk alarm or just extrasensory perception?







ps: your mother is a fat orion slave girl
 
If they are trolls ( or maybe Remans) they certainly did their homework! Trolls usually say "Kirk sux!" and run.
 
The Enterprise (D) from TNG must have had a weights room. Worf is totally swole. Picard is a crossfit fag, obv. Pretty sure I remember an episode where Data is spotting Wesley on the bench press, just pinkies.
