I’m training at home right now. When lockdown started I blew all my monies on the things. It’s nice training at home. Pretty cruisy. Dunno if I prefer it to training at a good/srs gym. About the same tbh.
Just weeks before gyms got locked down I signed up at a strongman/powerlifting gym. It’s close by home for me in Melbourne/metro. In my state there’s relatively few legit gyms I’m lucky enough to have one 10 mins away. While I’m still based in metro I’ll be signing back up again there for now.
@I_Luc mentioned auctions for gym equipment a while ago. I seen today that Derrimut gym (one of the first gyms I went to) is auctioning a lot of their machines including cardio and plate loaded machines. Prices aren’t too bad either considering how the market is right now. Still almost 3 days to go on the auction though.
If I had somewhere to put this shit I’d jump on it but for anyone interested in a solid cardio machine…
Graysonline is a very… Interesting name for an auction website.
That is all.
Low squat and hi bench today. Squats were moving well but stuck closer to Robo Sheiko’s coaching plans anyways. Bench felt meh so bit of an off day for AI Coachbrah maybe.
Ez PB double pause squat @ 150kg. Plenty in the tank and a single in knee wraps to condition my knees a bit.
Gonna look to get sleep and diet back on point having come out of a barrage of uni assessments back to the back.
Are you sure that wasn’t 160lbs. That moved quick.
The power of knee wraps. U should try em out some time.
Mate knee wraps wouldn’t help me that much. I have tried them a few months back and they do help, just not that much.
Yeah I can see that. Your squat style is pretty quad dominant so glutes would still be limiting with or without knee wraps. I’m same way the wraps just pop you out the bottom a bit faster so u get less sticking point
Loving the System of a Down in there!
I like to mix it up with some Disney
Haha no criticism here, hit a pr to into the unknown (cover by panic at the disco but still disney!)
Go for “War?” By soad next time it’s pr time!
I’ll try it out. My music is pretty stale because I don’t often run into songs I dig
Grabbed some pizza from a local joint this evening. Been weeks and it’s as good as ever. Calories weren’t around a big training day or nothing but that doesn’t matter.
Australian Barbell Co Power Bar should be coming today.
To about 10mins to sell my previous cheap bar and rented out a bit of weight so recouped what I spent on it and a bit more. ProfitPig
Will be a bit harder to sell the ABC bar when the time comes because it’s more expensive but I have some people lined up.
Meh day today. Didn’t have much energy to go for a long sesh. Top set deadlift 220x8 which is a rep PR (@alex_uk I give music 6/10 not a banger but good background noise lol) but way off high levels of readiness when I hit 240kg for reps.
Think I’ve been mismanaging recovery and fatigue management this training cycle. I’ve been training about the same as previous two months but gains haven’t been as good I feel. Need to either take it easier in training or recover harder To maintain better performance throughout the training blocks. Maybe try bit of both.
Hmm you didn’t have much energy but still hit a rep pr, sounds like the power of that song to me, you underestimate it! Keep it in rotation I’m sure it will grow on you! Also try P.L.U.C.K. by soad - probably close in terms of PR power!
Technically a rep PR but well below what I’d be capable of usually I think. U have a log bro?
See what it’s like next week with some Disney blaring.
No log, might start one eventually!
Quick cheeky TnG bench sesh in the PM. The power belly gave me the boost needed to hit a rep PB with 110kg / 240 lb x 9. Well at least I think it is I forgetti.

Edit no idea how to quote more than once, you get the point.
