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 )

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

I nearly posted here earlier today saying you better not be slacking! Glad you found a new gym to meet your needs =] OH press are quickly becoming my least favorite exercise.

 

Haha! If you notice me slacking, please do yell and tell me to get my ass moving

 

OHPs are so freaking hard! Some say that deadlifts are hard, but seriously! heavy OHPs get my head so red i sometimes wonder if it might explode, haha.

All of my lifts seem heavier than usual, so I'm still staying at my current weight. I suspect that bar at my old gym might actually not have weighed 20kg. Either that or the lack of consistency this last month might finally have caught up with me, haha. Anyways! I'm just glad that non of my lifts have gone down.

Post a video of you doing squats!

 

Maybe you could post it on the Squats topic in the Bodybuilding section and the subject would go back to Squats instead of pubic hair removal.

 

 

I just stumbled upon that thread the other day. It's a bit "out there"

Does your lower back hurt when you're doing them?

 

I wouldn't really call it a painful sensation, but it's something i shouldn't be feeling that's for sure. I'll try and get some decent footage of my squat next time

 

nice workouts xCx

 

are you noticing results ?

 

Thanks JW SS and SL are both really good programs. I've gotten much stronger and gain quite a lot of mass, so I'm definitely seeing good results.

Sick and tired of having to deal with my lower back I figured I'd try and change things up a bit. I know I should keep at it and try to correct whatever is making my lower back dodgy, but I don't have anyone to turn to for advice or coaching. I'm gonna try and get a vid of my squat, and hopefully some of the wiser learned squatters can give me some pointers to what might be wrong. Until then I'm just gonna have fun and try out the oly squat

 

Oly Squat

Warm up sets: 5x20kg - 5x40kg - 5x50kg - 5x60kg - 3x70kg - 1x80

3x5 90kg - This was ridiculously hard!! I never i mind my would have thought oly squats would be this tough and I damn near didn't get out of the hole on the last rep, so I might drop the weight a bit more. I'm not 100% sure I'm doing it right, in fact I might be doing some weird Frankenstein PL/oly hybrid squat, but non the less I was having fun learning this style.

A little training update from Cavallino.

 

I've managed to find a gym here, but it's pretty crappy though. There are no racks, only a smithmachine, so I bastardized the SS routine a bit.

How's Italy??

 

It's pretty sweet Coming from Denmark I'm just glad I get to see the sun, haha. Back in Denmark we're lucky if we get three months of summer, otherwise it's just clouded and rainy.
