Taking either Microbiology and Intro to Nutrition Science, or Molecular Genetics and "becoming a personal trainer" next semester. Either way I'm gonna rage hard, and have fun.

Almost had a heart attack watching the kid next to me benching today.

He walked in as I was doing some warm up lifts and just instantly loads 135. So I'm like damn he's skinny but so am I so maybe he's got it in him. Gets under it and I'm just watching him (I've had to be a hero before if anyone remembers, though anyone who dies under 135 is probably liable to get broken by a strong gust of wind) as he lifts it off and sits there with arms fully extended. Like 10 seconds go by and I'm silently willing him to just set it back, but he's a stubborn bugger and goes for it. Just about all of us have lifted a weight that was just too heavy, I'm sure, so just about everyone knows that wobbly arm feeling as the weight is coming down and you're screaming in your head, "STABILIZE!!! STABILIIIIIZE!" (Maybe just me? That's what I'm usually doing on the rare occasion it's happened) Anyways, he gets it down about half way and brings it back up. Lesson learned. Just set it back. NOPE! ROUND 2! FIGHT!!! Starts bringing it down and it stalls halfway down and his arms are starting to make weird row motions. I'm about to just walk over and lift it off him, but he lifts it back up, sets it back and sits up with this far off look in his eyes. He got up and just left the gym lol.

I really wish I would have walked up to him and asked if he needed help, but I didn't want to be that guy. Looking back, I should have been that guy. No one likes being annoyed by that guy, but if I genuinely was lost and needed help I'd probably take the small moment of embarrassment for learning some stuff. I need a lifting partner, too T_T

Edit: Kid was probably a freshmen or sophomore... not an actual kid lol

Oh yeah I forgot I had a gym story. Gym is pretty busy when I get there after work. Trying to get my workout done in a reasonable amount of time, supersetting. On my way the bench I glance over and three (scrawny) guys are standing around the uh, lumbar extension machine? The one guy is curling the back rest with his forearms trying to pull it back... I'm like, are you kidding me? hahahaha. So I walk over just as the student supervisor starts walking over. Clarified the use of the machine with a smile and a laugh it was all good. I come over later and ask what they're doing program wise. "oh just messing around, like seriously messing around, nothing crazy." Sheepish grins abound. I suggested starting strength or stronglifts and they nodded. I gave them some of my numbers and I think they were a tad more interested but who knows. You can only hope right xD

I've done the first bit of what risen described once. But it wasn't fun and I just bailed cause it was so fail, and I was embarassed. At least I didnt try multiple times, and my weight was more reasonable.

How long did you guys take to start pull 3 plates? I've been lifting for about 4 months now with some consistency. And having just finished my last 2 exams today really wanna go for those 3 plates as a bit of a milestone.

Are 3 plates 3x20kg x 2 + 20kg = 140kg ?

Which lift? I am closing in on that but only DL.

yes, 3 plates are 140 kg (or 315 lbs).

and typically "pull" refers to deadlift, unless someone's an oly lifter, and only decaf is capable of cleaning 3plates here.

As far as the question, it really depends on your bodyweight and height, and how long you've been lifting.

Yup 140kg deadlift. I kind of hope to be able to pull in about 2/3 months but have no idea if that is reasonable.

Right now three plates would be 2x BW for me as well. Really nice mile stone I am trying to crack 2 weeks from now (132 @ 70 BW right now).

Yeah i'll feel like i've achieved something with 2x BW DL.

OT: What kind of gyms do you guys go to?
I go to anytime fitness 24hr
It's pretty commercial, 1 or 2 cages. No squat racks.
I feel like these guys are really close to giving me the boot. I make a lot of noise when i DL. The trainers always came out of the office to eyeball me a bit. I haven't been approached yet though =P

Did my first 3 plate Deadlift at about four months in. I don't know if I'm built for deadlift or what but I did (accidentally) do a really deadlift heavy routine for a while. That's just 1RM which I guess you're asking about.

I'm 130lb (60kg) btw.

Dang! I weighted 170 when I got 3 plate deadlift 1x5. That's also when I screwed up my SI joint though.

What the heck is the point of the mixed grip pull o.O Just bizarre. How can you move like that and not question what you are doing...

At first I thought that video was a sketch comedy with foam weights or something. First I would have a horrified look on my face then I would hear the girls encourage each other and finally I busted out laughing lol.

The mixed grip is because it's an axle instead of an oly bar. It's too big to grip normally with a heavy weight, and the bar doesn't have any spin, so you can't do a normal clean with it. Instead, you do a continental clean, which is what you see in the video (although they're all pretty new/bad at it). It's a legitimate strongman lift.

What I'm seeing in the video is beautiful girls doing a lift that's ten times as manly than the exercises most of the curlmonkeys in my gym ever do.

Not perfect form, but still.

"Not perfect form" sounds like you think those girls are reading this and you want to get in their pants.

To be fair, I doubt it's their fault the form is shit, they were probably taught way wrong, since people were encouraging that shit.

But even then, you should be commenting on the horrible instructors, not calling it "not perfect form".
