Definately, although a rowing machine for warming up would make it complete. Seriously though, I'd trade the 50ish machines at my gym for two weight platforms any day. | ||

 Gotta use the small plates though, if I use bumperplates the ceiling isn't high enough. | ||

Solid 5-5-5 set without any cheating Gotta use the small plates though, if I use bumperplates the ceiling isn't high enough.*funkie's decaf moment* That's what I warm up with. :D when I was in the states I went to a place called LA Fitness, they had a shitload of machines and a shitload of people too. THey did have a decent squat Rack, and I went there and pwned 100kg (so ez, but I had a injury on the back). They have nice discs (no bumper, nor OLY Lifting platform), a lots and lots of hot bitches. They have a pool, jaccuzzi, Sauna, all kinds of shit. I went there as an invitee of a relative that lives in Miami. It was a good experience. Can't fucking believe the amount of sexy shit that goes to that gym. Anyway. I went to the gym on tuesday: Squat: 115kg 3x5 (no pain at all, felt so fucking fine, I love this) Bench press: 80kg 3x5 (back to the 80's, fuck yeah) Deadlift: 130kg 1x5 (oh, bitches were looking ;D). all in All, a good "get-back" to the gym workout, everything felt fine, and in place. :D | ||

(i took it slow/light myself coz scared of my injured forearm). oc ya if you have completely failed to get proper form take all the time you like until you start to get it hehe Thx for the tips, will work on those cleans and move up the weight some! Until i got it set though, i'll continue with pullups for now. Been to the gym two times since last, steadily increasing and it feels good. + Show Spoiler + 2011-12-13 Squat 3x5 25kg Press 3x5 15kg Pullup 3x5 assisted (-30kg) 2011-12-16 Squat 3x5 30kg Bench press 3x5 20kg Deadlift 1x5 35kg | ||

Life sometimes is a bitch, and alcohol and friends are the way to go. Blacking out for the win. Plus, in the morning when you're feeling shitty, you can always post the videos and feel awesome for the rest of the weekend :D. | ||

I hate my body sometimes. Also, kind of a funny mishap: I'm practicing my cleans with 50kg, and I decide that I want to practice pulling myself under the bar. I attempted to do so aggressively, and ended up pulling the bar into my throat. I could barely swallow my spit for the next 30 minutes. | ||

Speaking of blackout, tried the advanced tuck planche from "building the gymnastics body". Got in position for like a second and then just collapsed. My core is dead. Got to take a day or two off >_> | ||

Squats: Opened with 150kg. Easy as a breeze as it was supposed to be just to get the nerves right. 2nd lift was 180kg. Solid, most of the other lifters thought it was too deep though. 3rd attempt was at 195kg, a 5kg PR. Had a buddy yell a go command to me when I had hit the depth. Bar rolled a bit forward and the spotters came in, wayyyy to early and that cost me the lift :/ BP: 90kg openers, very easy 2nd lift: 100kg, tough but solid 3rd lift: 105kg. Not good but benching from a full stop is a pain in the ass. Deadlift: 190kg opener. EZ 2nd lift: 230kg. Video: + Show Spoiler + 3rd lift was 230kg. Video + Show Spoiler + Bloody fucking hell. Mostly mad about the ruined 195 squat. But you live and learn. Won 3x gold since I was the only competitor in my weight class lol. Total: 180+100+190 = 470kg / 1034lb. Not good compared to my gym lifts but you can bet I'll break this total pr next time. And there will be another meet. | ||
