The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Signed up for my first Powerlifting Meet in November. Pretty excited/anxious about it. Only have a little over a year left in the Junior age division to break a State record.

 

What’s your numbers look like? What weight class?

 

Current gym PRs S: 445 B: 330 D: 515.

Competing in the 82.5kg(181lbs) class. I'll be water cutting from current 194 for this comp.

 

Holy fuck. So these two newer power lifter guys started working out at the golds I go to around the same time I go. They either bench or squat three days a week depending on their program. God forbid I need to use the one legit squat rack or one of two benchs that day.

They were benching when I showed up yesterday, while I did a full 5x5 squat workout, more legs, and 15 minutes of cardio.....and they were still benching. I get taking time between sets but these two idiots are legit taking 10minutes rests periods between sets. An hour and a half bench workout is absurd.

I started at a new gym and now workout in the evenings so its busy AF.
I’ve litterally seen guys talking the entire time I’ve done my workouts taking up a bench or rack.
I’ve seen people take up a bench for 30 minutes because they can’t get off their phone.

Also... I think this new gym doubles as a club for the people with the most fucked up tattoos in the world.
Portraits of the two guys from Insane Clown Posse, a tattoo of nothing but blood splatter, a body hanging from a noose on a clocktower... WTF.

Yesterday I saw a chick working out in fishnets and knee sleeves...

I’m ready to join a cross fit gym.

 

It's fucking brutal. Yea they're both big dudes and can move some weight but when you're finish your squat workout and put 135 on the bar for a burnout you shouldn't sit on your phone in the rack for ten minutes before you do it.

 

I compete at 181 too, well at least my last 2 comps were. I’m toying with the idea of dropping to 165. I’m fat at 181 and walk around at 175.

Meet 1 (Feb)

Meet 2 (May)
S:419 (failed a PR attempt on my 3rd)

DL: 462 (failed another PR attempt on my 3rd)

 

Just ordered a pioneer lever belt to replace my nearly new rogue ohio belt. Now for the wait.

Excited to try a lever style.

 

The Ohio is the leather one right?

 

Yep leather single prong. I have the Velcro one too that’s for rogue. I think I’ve used that one twice maybe.

 

How do you like the Ohio? I have the cheaper black single prong rogue belt. I think it’s like felt or suede or something

 

Love my Ohio belt.

 

Me too.

 

What size is your Ohio

 

What did you order exactly 10mm, 13mm, custom or standard ?

 

Medium Ohio. Same for the pioneer.

10mm, 4”, lever, custom colors.

 

Guess who got protons?! Been out for like a week.

 

RIP this thread, it was good while it lasted.

 

I quit lifting. Did like everyone do the same?
Cause this thread has been slow...

 

I got fat. Does that count? #powerbelly
