Work for today:

Bench:
5 x 20kg
5 x 50kg
5 x 60kg
3 x 70kg
3 x 80kg
5 x 80kg
5 x 10 @ 60kg

Dips: some
Chest flies: some
Tricep extensions: some
Ab crunch machine: some

Step walker: 20mins LISS

Notes:

  • Back in the gym and under a bench, feels pretty good. I was unprepared for the level of yoga pants at 6am, if Iā€™m honest.
  • Bench felt a bit rusty, but not the car crash I expected strength wise. Was mostly to set a sensible TM, and 80kg seems about right as a light TM.
  • Wanted to do some LISS while I had time, but knee is still batching and moaning so tried to find something low impact. Ticked a box.

I donā€™t even normally care that much, its not what Iā€™m at the gym for. But even at 6am, the gym was full of girls who are dedicated enough to lifting to be at the gym at 6am, all wearing yoga pants. It was a bit of a shock to the system after a year training in a garage.

It weirds me out too. Iā€™m not there to look at 'em, in fact I sometimes find it more distracting than fun, but the thing that gets me is, youā€™re in there at 6am - so obviously dedicated AF and hardcore seriousā€¦ but youre dressed like youā€™re vain and superficial.
I could go on. But probably would lead in a bad direction so Iā€™ll shut up.

To be fair, they didnā€™t look like they were there deliberately to stick their ass in my face or covered in make up or whatever. More that its just what they wear to lift. Fine by me, will just take a while to get used to.

Youā€™re obviously referring to ā€œsmith machine single-leg glute extensionsā€ I see.

But yeah youā€™re right, and its admirable that they have the dedication to show up and work, and if thatā€™s the trendy thing to wear, so be it. Canā€™t judge them for it.

In the summer, I wear a tank top and booty shorts to workout. Luckily Iā€™m not attractive enough to be distracting

So if I wear booty shorts and people are distracted that means Iā€™m attractive?

Brb, gonna do a Gymshark haul!

Guys, talk with your women sometime about fitness clothing for them. Itā€™s pretty eye opening.

Women like yoga pants for training because they fit well, move well and are comfortable. Theyā€™re not a pair of shorts that some perv can look up when theyā€™re stretching on the floor or doing some abductor machine or leg press. Because as weā€™ve identified here by all the comments about LOOKING at these women in their yoga pants: women have to deal with a LOT of sh*t when they just want to workout.

Should they instead wear some baggy ass basketball shorts? At that point weā€™re going into full on ā€œhide your shameā€ mode.

Iā€™ll step down from the feminist soapbox now.

No, no, yoga pants are the best thing ever created, for men and women.

I work out in tank tops and shorts, sometimes naked torso because when youā€™re in the South with no AC 35-40Ā°C yeah fuck this shit and I donā€™t care if the ladies have a peek and giggle if anything I should be flattered

I am over what someone wears and why he/ she does it. I just do not care and neither should anyone else who identifies as an adult. Wear what youā€™re comfortable in. If thatā€™s a sun dress and high heels thatā€™s great. Highlights your calves.

Edit for clarity: I was adressing Pwnisher (as a generalization of men) directly with the sun dress comment.

Iā€™m sure Pwn would rock a sun dress and high heels.

Work for today:

Front Squat:
5 x 20kg
5 x 60kg
3 x 70kg
1 x 80kg
1 x 90kg
1 x 100kg
2 x 100kg (PR)
1 x 110kg (PR)

Back squat:
20 x 100kg

Leg Extensions: some
Crunch machine: some

Notes:

  • Aim for the day was to establish a TM for front squats. Unfortunately I forgot my belt and to eat so Iā€™m not sure how accurate this is but fuck it, 2 PRs, Iā€™ll take that.
  • This is more or less the full session Iā€™m planning for squat day, so pleased to see i can knock through it pretty quickly. Need to resist the temptation to add more easy stuff then slowly let the hard stuff slide. Just biceps and jumps to add, because I forgot them.
