I kind of don't want to have to change my training to peak for a comp. If I find that one fits in with a wave of training then I'll do it, otherwise it's next stop nationals :cool:

Missed logs of peace. I've been really busy so training has basically been stripped to the bare minimum. Back to normal this week.

Still having to use an alternate phaggy gym. Despite redoing and replacing almost everything, it's still ****. Lots of bars, but only one is straight and it has broken sleeves. The rest of the (quite badly bent) bars whip around like crazy. New plates, but nowhere near enough. Terrible, TERRIBLE crossfit rigs to squat out of. And the bench is still terrible.

Oh, and on the mirrors in front of the squatting stations there are tape markers telling you how deep to go for a "full" and "deep" squat. I don't even...

To top it all off, there is a high concentration of curl bros and utter douchebags.

But anyway, this is the last session there.

Short rests, RIP.
Some guy also came up to me and said, "oh so are those single ply knee sleeves?"

That was it, time ran out. Had to wait for a plethora of bros to finish waving stuff around in the racks, so didn't have time for anything else. Helped the staff tidy up because the place had been left an absolute mess, no "thank you" received :/

Can confirm those bars were the worst I've ever come across.

Fine on appearance but functionality? not even once.

Even the ones at my local DW that bend with just collars on are better.

Why don't you pinch your Eleiko when Iffley is closed?

This might be an option. I'd have to discuss it with the phaggy gym though.

I can imagine the delicious Bert stares now...
