EPTFor this, I think xfit actually does an amazing job. I really don't think these are any more expensive than say, Smith Machines.

Lets see my weightlifting club has ~8 platforms with a combination of 5 squat racks/stands. my crossfit has probably about 8 platforms with a squat rack each of them dedicated just for oly lifting away from the crossfit area. both have bars galore and a few thousand kg of bumper plates. It's pretty nice  | ||

10.04.2013 113,1kg 17.04.2013 109,8kg 24.04.2013 109,8kg Expected after last weeks drop, but still a bit unsatisfying. Well, I already skipped breakfast and went for an 1-hour run this morning, so next week should be good again. | ||

Squat: 3 @ 315 / 335; 2 @ 365 / 370 Paused bench press: 3 x 3 @ 205 Snatch form work @ 135 C&J form work @ 165 Gonna spend the next few months trying to recomp from ~14% BF to ~10% while making any gains possible - it's going to be a significant adjustment from the last four months of constantly forcing food down! That actually reminds me that it'd be fun to take a "before" picture for comparison later... | ||

Man I admire this kid's strength. Amazing for his bodyweight, and his bodyweight is amazingly high for how big he looks. These weightlifters and their dense muscles and bones.. Definitely my goal body - even though it's unrealistic as fuck I'll even come close lol. First time I see him round his back in the slightest. | ||

So I ask him what he's gonna do "curls..", I tell him I want to squat and that that's the squat rack and he could do his exercise anywhere he wanted. "No, I need this squat rack", wtf no you don't, just because you're too lazy to bend down 3 times and pick up the bar I'll have to wait 10 minutes? You can take any other barbell and curl, but I have to do my squats in there, "Do a variation of squats", at this point I already lost it, yea man, hold on I'ma do overhead squats for my working sets just so that you don't have to pick up a 20kg bar 3 times. Gave him a thumbs up when he was done, don't think he'd do it again lol. I think some time in the future (probably when I move out) I'll quit my membership there and sign up at a real gym, I mean I don't really care what others do, but when they start doing crunches, dumbbell flies and curls in the squat rack then I simply don't want to lift on this planet anymore. There are only 3 people in my gym who squat more than me.. in a month it will be 2 and in half a year only one, but hat guy's best squat is 280kg - at least one guy who actually lifts. Them commercial gyms. edit: on another note: what are you guys drinking out of? I want to get rid of my plastic bottle. Don't want to pollute my body with plastic particles so I'ma replace it. But I'm not sure what to get, glass bottles obviously break and I don't wanna have that happen. I was thinking maybe aluminium? Any of you guys do this? | ||

Where to get? nvm, I guess I'll just order it. Sucks that they only sell bottles that only hold a liter.. 2 liters would be much better. | ||
