 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | beer drinking and smoking is just not on mate. Chances are there is some others who dont like the way things are, you think you could just pair up with someone and get some focus on the training with that person? Good training partner(s) is a big part of solid good gains I think. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Looking at it, that's got to be 45 minutes to an hour between sets. You may as well not bother warming up! I like a chat and a rest as much as the next man and quite a lot more than most, but, like you said, that's f**ked up. | ||

 Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq | f**k that for a laugh. I constantly twist about having to train alone but its got to be better than a 3 hour booze and fag marathon. | ||

Member 86, 297 posts | Originally posted by Icepick... 01/07/06 Squats (half suit, Light wraps) 65x6,115x4,155x4,195x4 Was getting cold, got pissed off and left the gym, That workout took almost 3hrs like most of my workouts, which is fooked up given the low volume I usually do but this is what happen when you have 8 people of different levels sharing the same platform, too busy chatting, drinking beer and having cigarette breaks during training! Whist it can be nice training with a team, I'm going it alone from now on. yeah that sucks mate, even when theres a lot training with my team (8+ often) we still get through at least 3 heavy sets of Sq and DL each (plus warm ups) in about 2.5hrs... | ||

still a cock Member 55, 1213 posts SQ 50, BP 25, DL 55130.0 kgs @ 0.1kgs UnEq | 04/07/07 Deadlifts + chains 65x6,115x4,155x3,195x2,225,250x5F f**ked up my back on the last rep, so I dropped it, felt I was pulling a bit unbalanced so I reset the bar, in hindsight I should have just left it at 4 reps but I was amped up at the time, now I'm paying the price for it with a sore back. Hypers bw x20,20 Had to go without chalk as the guys that usually bring it are away for the european masters, though it meant the session went through quicker!! Going to stay with them for the deadlift and get my squats sessions elsewhere as the coach has a 320kg pb at 80kg bodyweight, and has really helped me with the deads. here is the vid fom my last set and here is my 18yr old training partner benching 170k x7, and pulling 225k + chains x 4 | ||

 Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | I dont think ive ever seen 170 look so easy !! I guess with chains its even easier to become unbalanced, looked very strong though mate | ||

still a cock Member 55, 1213 posts SQ 50, BP 25, DL 55130.0 kgs @ 0.1kgs UnEq | thanks mate, yea that is one of the dangers of the chains, it can very easily pull you off balance which can be great for building up your core or f**king it up in my case  | ||
