Woot eating at maintenance now and it's so easy to make strength gains. Did 10x3 @185lb bench ezpz tonight. 5x100kg coming in 4 weeks, yes?

Also got 5xBW+55lb pull-up today :D Didn't think it would be possible to make linear gains at this weight

Any fans of the hook grip here?

I want to switch to hook grip from mixed grip for my deadlifts. ( because it looks more badass and actually feels much better on my shoulders idk why)

Any tips for the transition? I tried pulling 140kg with hook grip the other day during my last warmup set and my grip started to falter after the 2nd or 3rd rep ( left hand's grip is weaker , probably because I'm right handed?)

Obviously Hook Grip is fine to use. In my experience (and from what I've read online), it is just not a grip you want to use for (higher) reps (which in this case is everything above 3reps). It just doesn't work well with sets of 5 at max weights, you basically have to regrip every time, and the thumb gets a whole lot of stress and tires out fast. It is more of a max-effort grip, so nothing above 3 reps I'd say. And you also probably have to deload quite a bit at the beginning, so a little test for the ego.

Maybe someone else can commentate on this too, my experiences here are pretty limited, so maybe I am totally wrong.

Yesterday Go to gym, see 3 guys on the one power rack all wearing hockey shirts from a beer box. Teaching one guy to do squats. Realize I won't be able to do squats any time soon. Go to bench 1, see some guy stretching his legs and I ask him if I can use the bench for bench press. He says no im using it, another big guy comes and they both use it. Go to bench number 2, 2 guys using it. No bars or space avaliable cause its fucking monday night.

Decide to do some chinups and pull-ups instead of row, since I don't have all day to walk around like an idiot. Check back, same people doing there shit on both benches and power racks. Do dumbell press instead of bench. Go do some tricep dips to kill time, pretty burnt out so decide I will just do some light speed squat sets.

Guys still doing 1/2 box squats with way too much weight 45 minutes later. End off their set with light squats in which they come up completely on their toes on purpose, im guessing for calves, looked really stupid and awkward. I decide just to use leg press cause I gotta leave soon, needed to do all my shit quick to make a meeting afterwards. Look back to power rack to see all 3 of them doing OHP on only power rack.

Didn't say anything cause I have no voice since Saturday, and I probably wouldn't anyways. So all -in all didn't do anything I planned to do at gym and was very sick during it all. YAYAYAYAYA love 1 power rack.

Heh, that's pretty funny actually, yes, 1 Squat rack can give problems to people sometimes. There was this guy who "took over the bar, after I loaded it my discs" and he said "it's my turn now, you always do stuff here, you gotta give people a chance" in the most rude of manners, he wouldn't even let me warm up with the weight he was using. Wanna guess what he was doing?

Yup, ez-curlz. I was so mad at this bitch, he also (I think he's the one who did it, I'm not sure) put a "complain" with the gym owner, because I was using heavy weights, and according to him, "I was dropping the weight too hard and I was going to break the discs". The owner proceeded to tell me that I was doing oly lifting, and for that I needed to go to another gym, this and that, etc, etc etc. By the time I was getting out of the gym (cause I was done with my workout), the gym owner was outside and she said "walk with me", she then proceeded to explain how she didn't give a fuck about what the other dude said, and that she knew what kind of workout I do, and she knew that I take care of the discs.

All in all, It has been a weird couple of weeks at the gym, and well. Douches are douches. Next time, Imma tell him, go and do your machines and gtfo of the mans sections. Go and curl something else.

muthafucka.

I dont even understand how people think you can break those plates... they are like made of iron or whatever. i'm pretty sure the floor will break before the plates (actually the floor in my gym is pretty ruined in some places because we dont have a safety bar in the squat rack and some people dump the bar when doing heavy squats. thankfully there is a wooden platform on which I can do heavy deadlifts/cleans, but then people complain about the noise because apparently this is a wellness center and not a gym where we come to be awesome and destroy worlds... damn I hate people sometimes :/ )

edit: 1000th post wasted on a rant :D hello corsair!

If I ever get rich I'll start a gym with "Scream, grunt and drop the weights or GTFO" being the only rule. One rule to rule them all.

I really don't understand why people complain about noise, lmao. When I lift I've turned up the music so much I can't hear myself thinking.
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

I said the same to one of my gym buddies.. it actually might not even be that expensive since all we would need is a few squat racks, bars, plates and probably some dumbbells. if you have a few people who pitch in it might be doable! the biggest problem would most likely be finding a good space to set up..

@sjarl: totally!

haha, a week ago I went to the gym, and there were these 2 dudes squating. They didn't just grunt, they like moaned out load and you could hear it all the way on the other side of the gym over the music. It was kinda hilarious lol, every time all these people shot some weird glances in their direction.

At my gym I've come to realize I simply have to accept that people use the squat rack for stuff besides squats because there so little room (about 20sqm). I've begun to deadlift in them myself. It's either that or stand in the middle of the room so nobody can get around me. I would go back to old gym, but ironically even though it's several times bigger there's only one squat rack, whereas the 20sqm one has two. :p

I also feel pretty self-concious of the noise I make during deadlifts, as this is the definitely a "wellness-center, not gym".

I have to find a new gym, but cba to look. Been feeling really tired and stupid these past few days.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

And I'll be a ghost in a few posts, damn it I don't want to lose my tank ;_;

Also, damn calorie deficit. My squat and DL is dropping. I should probably try to find a new program, squatting three times a week is really taxing :/ I've been lazy and skipping workouts lately! Jim Wendlers 5/3/1 maybe? Or just up my intake and start doing Smolov, I really want to try that program some day

Spring has awakened decaf from hibernation. time to start getting in rugby shape and eating properly. ROAR

Also, i'm opening a gym called "The Judgement Zone" aka the opposite of planet fitness. Only barbells, power racks, platforms and awesomeness are allowed.

If you're cutting I would suggest you to still squat 3 times a week, but have one of them be a light day. By light day I mean front squats or 80% of your 5RM for 3x5.

This is what Rippetoe and Kilgore suggests anyway
