^^ hold up i’m behind here.
Dday, glad the new gym is awesome! Having a gym buddy can be key sometimes too. Sometimes I like getting in my groove on my own, but an extra eye on form and a kick in the pants every now and then is priceless.
Thanks cholulalula. Not sure if we’re going to be workout buddies but it’s nice to know there are like minded folks there.

Sprints- several. Was so concerned with the best place to hide my gym back that I’d already done several sprints and never started counting. Did I mention that this place isn’t in the best neighborhood.
Today I loaded up all my personal gym extras to be ready for another excellent day at the community center. Brought oly shoes, gym chalk, straps, wrist wraps and elbow sleeves (elbows been bothering me a little). Went in later than normal and there was no one there, one guy came in did a set of curls, walked on the treadmill for 3 minutes and left 0_o.
The lack of knurling almost caused me to drop 135lb bar on my head, that made my butt pucker. Next set I chalked up, wasn’t thinking the prior set.
Still feeling things out with all the adjustments to the program I’d made for PF. Now there is a baseline to work up from. Have a good weekend.
Does your back hurt on deadlift as well as squat?
My scoliosis gave me problems in the early times of lifting, but eventually got strong enough where that’s not a problem anymore. but I haven’t squatted 300 yet . . . is that the point where you started getting pain?

As long as I use a belt it doesn’t bother me on any lift until I get 300+ on squats. Granted I’m not that big of puller so maybe down the line it could be a problem. Seems to just bother me from compression lifts (squat).
One of the things I used to do was hang from a chin bar between sets, seems to offset the compression. In time, my back strengthened so that wasn’t a problem . . . but your back is stronger, don’t know if it applies.

I’ve done that but not between sets, I’ll give it a try next week. Thanks.

I do not like mirrors in front of the squat rack, one I’m an ugly prick, two it’s annoying. The rack design is weird and you can’t turn the pegs to the inside to face away from the rack. What ever.
Other than that business as usual
Nice work, dday. I am with you, I hate mirrors in front of the rack. In fact, unless I am doing higher rep sets, I don’t like mirrors. Too much distraction.
PM sent…
I get to look at unfinished dry wall every time I squat. Been looking at the same exact spot for a few years now. I do remember mirrors being distracting though.
My basement gym is just raw concrete, I drew the EFS UP logo on it with chalk as a place to look but the mirrors just suck.
I sent both you PMs if you didn’t get them let me know.
Got the PM. Should be good to go…even after google ate my first account.
Damn mirrors pull me forward, hate them too.
Lol on the gym, (and i use the term loosely), write up.

Yes that’s it! They pull me forward (more than normal), couldn’t put my finger on the actual problem, other than looking at myself make stupid faces.
Haha! I should spray paint UP on the mirror.

Good day today, felt stronger than I have in a bit and everything just worked. Diet is all over the place and and I’m down 2lbs.
Still at the hood gym, found out today I shouldn’t wear blue in this neighborhood, suppose that’s good information to have.
Over all things are humming along. Got my eye on a meet in October but have yet to pull the trigger.

Not a great day. For some odd reason I couldn’t set the 95lb DB’s right to start the lift, left side just kept spinning to where was basically sitting on bicep and well below my shoulder. Tried it 3 times and couldn’t get it in position to attempt the lift and basically wore myself out trying. The BBB portion didn’t go much better. Took my ball and went back to work.
Decent gym day today, nothing to brag about.

An all squat day. Nicely done. I haven’t done it for awhile but I like doing a one exercise only workout. Squats,deads and clean+press are fun ones to use.

Thanks. that’s pretty much how all of sessions are lately doing what I can in 30-45 minutes. Yesterday was a bunch of sets of incline, tomorrw will be a bunch of sets of deadlift.
