It's been around 46oc here today, i'm still going to go to the gym!

Now, SHUT UP AND SQUAT

Hmm, negatives only for me in hot temps! Pushing up when really hot is not nice on the heart lol

 

[Andr3w]

Haha yeh, the constant sweat dripping down your face and then flying all over the place whenever you breath out heavily isn't very appealing, but it doesn't bother me

Final day before having a rest day tomorrow, I use it as a big compound day, 5x5 of power cleans/bench and squats

Pffft being the sweaty mess I am I can manage that in the depths of winter summer training is like sticking me in a wet room and turning on the shower. Yummy

*High Fives*

Chucks all the way. My other nike flats have been obliterated from squatting

There's a reason we own so much for being small fellows.
Genes? Nah
Natural talent? Nah
Supplements? Nah

Converse All-Stars!
Chuck Taylors are for pro's only hahaha!

Also I never knew so many people here were wimps!

It's 28 degrees where I am, I still went and did my leg day. My shirt is stuck to me from allthe sweat and it looked like I had my head under a shower from all the sweet.

We have no air-con and only 2 windows that can open. Suck it up lads and get training.

Never said i wasnt training Although looking at my post i forgot to write 'forward' so it may have sounded like i wasnt. Off in half an hour cant wait to be dripping with sweat It's just the people around me who might not appreciate it!

Good chest session in the gym just now. Managed a 115kg bench for a single so shouldn't be long to get back to 120kg for reps.

Legs tomorrow which i'm dreading already as I know i'll be useless lol. Anyway, knee seems to have rcovered from the injury I had so i'll se how it goes.

A small townl is your friend. Also whipe down after you use a bench.

No one likes a minger that leaves pools of sweat on equipment.

Indeed

sounds like tendonitis i have a similar problem, it goes away if i warm up properly by starting light and increasing the weight in small increments. if i jump straight into a working set with inadequate warm up, it burns like hell.

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Could be tendonitis.
Drop the weight and then do it and see if it still causes pain.

If it does, see a physio or doctor.

Love this weather. Makes me train like a beast

Final day before having a rest day tomorrow, I use it as a big compound day, 5x5 of power cleans/bench and squats

Pretty good session tonight

Warmed up on the rower for 5 minutes.

Power clean (Only to my chest/neck, didn't push them above my head)

5x50KG
5x52.5kg
5x52.5kg
5x52.5kg
5x52.5kg!

Bench:
5x50KG
5x55KG
5x60KG
3x70kg (Failed last rep)
5x50KG
5x55KG

Then I did 3x50KG squats, but using a smith machine, It hurts my lower back so I packed it in, can't wait till I get back to my normal gym with a power rack!

I am getting stronger, but I arn't getting any bigger . It was only two months ago my 1rep max at benching was 45KG, it's now 80KG, and my 1rep max at deads was 50K, it's now 110KG!!

On normal days I go to 8or10 reps, but today was a strength day.

Love this weather. Makes me train like a beast

You are a beast..... ohh errrr

 

[Freefaller]

Haha - not anymore, only 15st at the moment!

 

[Andr3w]

Pffft rubbish, more effort needed


Do any of you get shoulder pain when benching or afterwards? It's started to happen to me recently, it doesn't feel like my muscles, more like really deep inside my muscle close to the bone?

 

[Dj_Jestar]

Yup. Supraspinatus fatigue or even strain (I strained mine really badly a few months ago).

 

[Steedie]

Just shaved my legs in the shower. My sheer level of alpha is immense right now

Ah the orchestral words of truth.

Here's 2 different pairs of my nike's - Wrecked from squatting thousands of reps:

2 pairs of chucks to the rescue in the background

I've noticed hardly anyone sweats in the gym. It is air con'd but I'm the only one that has a soaking t-shirt after every session

Oh really? How did you correct it, and did it go away? (Try no to turn it medical)
