They didnt like your email about the crap lying everywhere?

Evidence of douchbaggery in even that vid, or was it just a long gap between sets (bench you walked buy still loaded with a "full" barbell)?

Here's the 295 lift from this morning:

Ahha...

-big fight with gym mangement
-gym says "no vids allowed"
-vid of bench this morning


That was solid FLEX, said wtf at no spotter, x2 what Spanks said at least set up in a rack? Bet ya could get 305 or more like other poster said if you dropped a couple sets out.

Conclusion - MIRIN'!

[-=FLEX=-]

In for impeccable form benching.

Hai

Awesome squats, 90's on the presses ain't too shabby! on your barbell curls do you use straight bar or EZcurl bar?

Thanks man; straight bar these days. When my elbow acts up I do EZ Bar curls. But it's been playing nice for quite a while.

Huge DB presses. SteBo would be proud.

Always SteBo is the measuring stick on the DB presses; and always why I feel like a little gurly-man.

Do some heavy rack lockouts.

Might try that....

Fair bit of reps/sets on bench before the 1reps. Maybe drop the 205, 255, and 295s out?

Good stuff as always. Keep it going.

Thanks man. I like the CNS activation, but there is always a trade-off

When goin for a 1RM on any lift the progression usually makes or breaks it more than anything else.

At least for me it does.

No spotter + shoulder issues in the past = crazytown.

Get your butt in the cage at least dude!

I was sure I'd get the 295; and I did get a spot from random dude for the 305.

Now I gotta go look in that other thread to find out the dealio on the gym!

Serious freakin' work Jim, everywhere.

Thanks Brian...

I've never hit 295.... great job.

Thanks Dru

All kinds of **** in that vid; dbs on the floor, plates on the bar next to me. No one was around. That crap was already there.

Well hats off to you for deadlifting with an arthritis flare. You wouldn't damage the joint - joints actually love movement, but ouch!! I hope you're feeling better.

[-=FLEX=-]

Just joined a new GYM.

Sick of my little namby pamby "fitness" club so I joined a new club today:





It's further away (13 min drive there; 14 minutes back) but it's got a totally hardcore atmosphere, lots of huge bodybuilders and dumbbells to 150lbs.

$160/year

Deadlifters welcome.

Is that going to mess with your AM routine?

Nope; just means a little less time on the forums.

Here's a couple pics form their website:

Looks huge (and tidy too)

Looks huge (and tidy too)

It's probably 1/4 the size of my current gym, but that's fine. Most of it I didn't use anyway. Way too much cardio crap and studios for Zumba class and ****.

And yes; TIDY. Obviously in those pics everything was in its place since they were taken for the web site; but the club looked pretty much the same today. Everything that wasn't in use was on a rack.

Good deal.

The dumbbell rack alone is worth the price of admission.



Believe me, I sympathize with you in both your frustrations with your previous gym, and your efforts to find a home. I went through the same crap 15 years ago; the difference was that in a small-market area as where I live, I ran out of gyms real quick.

This one is just about done.
