| I want a 100kg press really really bad! But I'm still failing 92.5kg attempts. I figure it might be a long road ahead for 100kg strict. I suck at pressing! | |||

I have to come back tonight and do my back workout as I'm away tomorrow and will be unable to train. Hopefully things won't feel quite as heavy - I plan to gorge on a load of food throught the remainder of the day  | |||

| It's inspiring to read how fast you're regaining strength after such major surgery. Good luck going forward! | |||

davycummings said: Not at all, as long as you have suitable procedures in place there is no barrier to having u16s in the gym. In a staffed gym it requires that staff have PVG clearence and in an unstaffed one they must be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them. I am sure there are considerations with insurance also. Obviously it is not apropriate for toddlers to be running around unchecked, but I see no issue with slightly older kids who have an interest in training being in gyms if properly supervised. Supervision is the important part. I have no issues with older kids wanting to learn to lift, I think that's a good thing. But with the toddlers, the level of supervision is somewhat dire. I'm not sure what regulations there are here as I'm in Sweden and recently moved there. It's mostly unstaffed as it's one of the 24/h gyms. It's only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs if these parents continue to bring their young kids and leaving them mostly unsupervised. | |||

| Of late a number of the members at the gym I train at seem to think it's appropriate to bring their toddlers around and leave them to roam about the gym. Only yesterday when I was about to attempt a max deadlift a kid ran past, very close to the bar. God only knows what would result if a kid did the same as I was dumping the bar. IMO these toddlers should not be allowed in the gym, it's a dangerous place. They'll start bringing int their sodding dogs next and letting them run riot. Rant over.  | |||

dr_hazbun said:I very rarely fail weights in the gym. Some may say that that's because I train well within my comfort zone but I've doing this long enough to anticipate a failed rep and not attempt it. This does mean that I can end up finishing a workout 10kg short of what I may be capable of or even replacing the bar 1 or 2 reps short of a rep PB but I've learnt to live with it. It's either that or no training tbh. that's pretty much the same for me, although the bench I use has some great adjustable catchers spaced less than 1" apart so I can set them at the perfect height. Squats are a totally different story with no proper cage - I stick with in my comfort range as I'm scared of dumping it and somehow screwing my shoulders  | |||

| Thanks to muscle memory and eating like a pig Although I Expect the gains to slow soon as I surpass me previous lifts and when that time comes I plan to go to 5/3/1 routine and see how it pans out. | |||
