Awwww.poor you. I never leave before 6! haha.
Also, you have succeeded in your title!! You still suck, but less. Are you going to do East Midlands strongest at PTS ? ?


Yea but I choose this low for the flexitime benefits. I didn't choose a career with stupidly long hours to spend the life complaining about them.

A few things have just been overrunning outside of my control a few days this week.

Yea, still planning on it. Will get back on events training in January when I'm less weak. Decided to just get a bit stronger.

Squats,
belt on,

Pausies,

facing out of cage for all Squats today. Good practice. , no mirror, focusing on no weird head movements.

Bench

need to think about form every set and not get lazy. First set sucks since I just pressed it, didn't think about tightness or leg drive.

4 second pause bench ,
92.5*4, 4,
nice. Pb,


slingshot,
92.5*8, 8, 8, got it in three sets this week. Happy

555.0 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq		In Crawley on a course with work.
In a bodybuilding gym out in the forest. Proper mans gym. They're all giant and terrifying.

All plates are metal and rattly and bars were thin with knurling in the wrong place.

Squats, belted,
137.5*6, 6, 6, 6,
Weird thin rack.

Bench, paused and belted,
87.5*6,6,6, 6. Fairly easy. Even with weird bar and floor.

Wide grip bench, no one to hand off or spot.
Did 60*8, unracking is a b**ch. Can't unrack 80 by myself wide grip. Lol.

Arms and facepulls. Lots and lots of sets.

I actually looked alright under the lovely down lighting in the gym. I gained 10kg lean bodyweight just under the lights then lost it all again when I left.
