Looking good so far!

It's been one of those weeks again. Exams have been taking almost all of my time and this week i had to write a 40 page assay on ethics, so basically I've just been sitting on my couch reading and writing days on end.

So, what am I going to do now you ask? fucking sleep, that's what!! I'm so mentally exhausted that I can hardly focus on updating my log Nighty night!

The mystery of the missing squat rack have been solved. Apparently someone fell and busted his ass using the rack and our gym manager deemed it to dangerous for our gym, so the genius sold it

I'm speechles.. Who the hell sells a rack just because some meathead can't handle his weights!?! Christ! So now I'm on the lookout for a new place to work out..

I'd love to have my own rack and equipment, but I just don't have the space to fit it anywhere in my apartment

Ah that blows, i'm lucky, got the biggest room in the house.

That's some serious weight/reps on the Squats you had going. I'm looking forward to squatting my own bodyweight for 5x5 that's my first mini-goal. Hope you find somewhere soon so you can keep building on them!

Shit, starting from a dead stop. Hardcore Before I got my rack, I had the bar sitting on top of 2 chairs....I couldn't budge it. Had to clean/press it to get it on my shoulders (which was harder than the actual squats )

[xCx]

So, I've been taking some time off from my old gym.. The manager there just kept pissing me off and nagging me about how squatting free weights wasn't allowed, so for the sake of not arguing or punching the guy I joined a new gym.

The new gym is pretty cool. It's got everything i need. Also, i met another vegan guy there, which is pretty rare here in Denmark, haha. So right now I'm really motivated and ready to hit the weights hard!

I decided to stay at my current weights for my first workout at the new gym. Had to get a feel of the place and get comfortable with the new equipment.
