Power lifting at Conventional Gyms




After today's second session in the temporary gym I feel like Alice in Wonderland: I've really gone through the looking glass into some strange shit.

Observations from training today:

  1. Apparently the power rack is for curling or standing inside to press
  2. I appear to be doing way too little biceps work
  3. I need sleeve tattoos to blend in...and that's just with the girls
  4. I need to use Bro in a sentence more often
Now to be fair having been spoilt at PTC I can't be too harsh...$23 a fortnight and 4 mins from home will suffice for the moment. 

It does reinforce in my mind how us guys left on our own make the dumbest training choices. Honestly I haven't seen so many upright rows and delt work in a long time..probably since I had the misfortune to train in Fitness First in Brisbane a few years back!

Anyhoo it is what it is and I will just hunker down now go a little under the radar and get somelifts happening.

Training went well 5/3/1 work sets of bench follow by assistance incline press. Had sets of dumbell rows and chins between the pressing sets.

Finished off with Goblet squats and may try flat footed squatting again for a while. It's funny but in the shoes I think sitting back irritates my adductor so will focus on goblets for a while and see if I can get some decent flat footed mobility. Thinking about it I didn't really have issues with the adductor until I switched to the shoes, though it might just be correlation not causality.

Time to chill now, middle of the week tomorrow lets see what shit storm awaits!

Stay Strong Thomo
