nice PR btw. when can we expect that from the floor for a 3x bw deadlift

grind..... the edges?? I'll pass

Dem dere hex plates be coated in rubber anyways.
3x bw floor deadlift in the summer hopefully... need to start being able to train the movement first, and when I can start squatting that will help my strength from the bottom too.

I would love to do 5 rep floor deadlifts right now. When I can swing it, I most certainly will. Rack pulls are a lot of fun, but there's something special about pulling a weight all the way from the floor. Thanks for the input.

Thanks bro, red shirt was on fire!

**davtown** · 02-02-2008, 02:35 AM

ok, it's official. I can't stand my gym anymore (24 hour fitness). I've been to 24's that I enjoy working out at, but not this one.... not even gonna bother saying why. I have no desire to lift there. I'm looking into my other options now.

today's workout...

2/1/08 Friday

Bench Press
45x15
95x8
115x8
140x17
185x1
- I wanted to see how many times I could rep my bodyweight.... 18 probably would have been absolute failure, but 17 is good enough. My goal is 20.

Inc DB Press
65x6
60x10

Rack Pulls
135x8
185x8
225x5
275x5
315x5
385x5

CG Pulldown
130x12
130x10

just called it. At least I hit 2 PRs. It's gonna be great when I cancel my membership and they ask me why.

Yoga, 90 mins

I got into an intermediate yoga class, the teacher is awesome and I can tell that this is going to be a great class. Once a week for ~90 mins. I did well today, especially for my first extended yoga session in a long time. I hit some poses that I have not been able to in the past. The teacher gave me some complements at the end too

I see that I'm at 2,000 posts now... I will celebrate with a deep slumber! g'night everybody

It's just a circus in there..... DB's are all over the place, and unless you go at random hours, it's a huge process just trying to get a piece of equipment. The bar in the area for deadlifts has no knurling, and the only good bars for deads are either the ones on the bench press or the one in the singular power rack which is usually occupied by quarter-squatters. To top it all off, the atmosphere in the gym does not give me that drive (don't know how else to put it.... other gyms I've trained at in my past just made me wanna LIFT the second I walked in... or just on my way there, knowing I was going to be lifting in that atmosphere/environment). Oh yeah, takes me ~45 mins at least to get there (walk to bus stop, wait for bus, take bus, walk from bus stop to gym). There are other places to lift in this city, the 24 Hour Fitness's here just don't cut it for me... what I wrote is really just a piece of the problem here. I'm gonna work out there tomorrow and then cancel my membership after I'm done.

**romanaz** · 02-06-2008, 06:32 PM

I hear ya Davtown, I can't lift in commercial gyms anymore, not even if I'm doing light work. The atmosphere is what is the most important thing. Plus I hate being the strongest guy in the gym (cmon a near 300 ATG squat SHOULDN'T be the best there...). I like lifting around guys like my teammates Rito and Chad, a 77kg and a 94kg lifter respectively. Both guys squat ATG 400+ for reps like cake. And chad has snatched 300+ lbs!

**Succio** · 02-21-2008, 10:47 PM

sooo, are you still at the same gym?

im in the same boat with you, but for slightly diff reasons. the atmosphere is beyond terrible. just makes me sick thinking about it. THeres really no other option for me though which sucks balls. THerse only one gym in my city, and if i go to one thats in the next door city, it would cost a bundle ( plus, the fee for not being a city resident).

I canceled my membership, but I still have 2 months left there (already paid last month when I signed up, and they made me pay for another one too). That workout was done at a diff gym though when I went home to visit my parents. I can use my school gym and I'll hopefully be joining the one across the street soon... it just costs a lot cause you gotta pay the year upfront.

yeah, my doc was able to see me right away thankfully. I feel 1,000,000x better now. It was actually more my neck... which affected my upper back the most, but also my left arm and left leg.
