Finally back in our house after the flooding in August, got the garage cleaned up, weights and rack in place. What's the protocol for deloading 10% at a time before the weights get so light that I give up, start going to Zumba classes, and die from shame? Because this poo poo is sad.

Switching up the gyms you go to if you belong to a big box gym is always fun. There was always better sights at the gym I used to go to on the weekends at my last gym.

That's the kicker about my new Gold's - I had to force myself to go there because it's 10 mins away, as opposed to the smaller local Gold's 3 mins down the road. Best decision I've made in 2018 so far. It's a real fresh motivator for some reason. sassassin posted:I've been at the same gym for >7 years.

I went skiing last week and I haven't been for years, so last time was before I started seriously going to the gym. Man. I could just smash down the mountain. Not much soreness other than some calf/shin stuff. Best leg day is ski day.

Had my first session of my strongman/PL hybrid training today. I am absolutely loving hosed. Ive never had that kind of lactic burn and compression, desire to uncontrollably vomit everywhere and poo poo my pants all at the same time. Also sweated like ive never sweated before. Stumbling around the gym like a newborn calf with my legs collapsing underneath me with all the 5pm gym babes and bros staring at me like id just crawled out of a natural disaster, with my coach laughing at me like some kind of sadist. After the cambered bar walk (substitute for yoke until one arrives), , med ball over bar (substitute for stones) and the loving sled push of death i was sure i was about to be RIP. Followed with some light accessory shoulder mobility/health and core. Doing a million deadlifts and sauntering around the gym not really breaking a sweat as i was prior to this was nothing. This next 12 weeks is going to be insane. Looking forward to it and getting access to some proper strongman equipment. Thought i was strong before. I was very wrong Sludge Tank fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Jan 15, 2018 |

Today he was just leaving trails of sweat everywhere, like actual pools of it, and he was dripping on the loving plates. It's disgusting and I'm starting to hate him.

On adding weight to my Incline bench, I grabbed three 10lb plates thinking I could hold them, but the middle slipped out and onto the floor, pinching my left index finger in the process. Finished out the rest of the workout with a really gnarly blood blister. Was so good to get home and lance it, but drat it sucked.

today i had a shtity workout because a group of dickheads was hogging 10 plates for the hour i was there and had the temerity to whine at me for taking one they were 'using' that was just left on the floor. they were doing bullshit fake squats with knee wraps and weight belts and elevated heels and chalk and some spotting that was just outright assisting. they spent a loving eternity helping one guy build up to a 5 plates a side squat, apparently needing to take off and put back on their knee wraps every set. he didnt loving manage to do the 5 plates anyway, he got down halfway and then had to be helped back up, then they spent 20 minutes congratulating each other and still insisting they were using the plates. all that was missing was chris pratt and a make-a-wish official helping this manchild achieve his dream of cosplaying as a heavy lifter. good god i have patience but my gym has like 14 20kg plates total, and if you have 10 of them and are loving around to such an extent it is very irritating. if they'd taken off all their bullshit gear and just done the exercise properly they could have got a good workout with far fewer plates. they werent even new years resolutioners, they were regulars who i have never before seen train legs.

it's not "side squat," it's a squat with five plates on each side of the bar.
