Grat'z on the 100kg DL! Next start working towards 200 kg

[baatzt]

Yeah rock on with your press' and pulls. They looked tough on You, but you kept good form and managed really good. Let's see if we can get you to 80 kg squat without too much whimpering...

105 comes before 200.

Will You continue with 5 kg increments on the deadlift?

Have a nice weekend.

Friday 6th

Squat:
1x5 - 20 kg
1x5 - 40 kg
1x5 - 60 kg
5x5 - 75 kg
-have a really good feeling with my squats at the moment. I had imagined it'd be harder by now. Well, it can be when I loose focus, but when I'm zoned in, the reps really flow.

Bench Press:
1x5 - 20 kg
1x5 - 60 kg
5x5 - 80 kg

Inverted Rows:
13-11-11

Dips:
5kg: 10 - 10kg: 10 - 15kg: 8
Decided the other day to start adding weights to my dips. And today I learned that was a good idea. I'll add slightly more weight next week so I can hit 3x5. Or maybe go a little while with 15kg for my shoulders to adjust.

Reversed crunches:
3x12

Regarding 5kg increments on deadlift, I think I'll keep doing that until I stall, and then maybe do 2,5kg increases.

I usually train with my bro, and we often discuss the other gym-goers' attitude and behavior. You often see people with bad attitude, you know, who throw the weights around etc. Today was another example. And sadly it was even one of the gym staff members who was being a dick. I usually don't care if they slam the weights on to get attention etc, but when it comes to treating the equipment badly and not cleaning up after themselves, it directly influences others. For example, the rubber on the plates brake off consequently which is really annoying when you do deadlifts. The staff should at all times set a good example.

Anyway, weekend is up! Looking forward to get some rest over the next few days and so be ready for Monday.

Cheers!

I agree with you on the cleaning up part, but obvious slamming of the weight on the ground for attention is really idiotic. But once you get to the heavier loads it's inevitable to make some noise when you put the weight on the ground, Especially if you're training the olympic lifts or the deadlift. When I do my heavy DL sets I don't have much energy left for gently putting the bar on the ground so I make some noise. I try not to but it can't be helped.

[baatzr]

Yeah, I know, I do too. I was referring to when they were taking the plates off the bar, (They were doing incline bench press), dumping the plates from 1m to the floor.
In regards to DL, I think it can even hurt you if you try to gently put the bar on the ground..

If my gym had staff like that I'd start to think of changing places quickly
