Just had some peanut butter on ryvita with some sliced banana on top. It was surprisingly nice.

Needs some Nutella for true awesomeness.

And less everything else

This is where it's at:

There is a special place in hell reserved for the people who do biceps curls at the ******* squat rack.

My hamstrings and lower back are still sore. That's the fourth day of DOMS now. I really need to do more deadlifts.

I think I'll have to give cardio a miss again today and work my upper half. Time to start doing some OHPs!

I have the same as you but it's only day two so far, got a new pb so that's good. But got back again tomorrow, I think it's going to end in literal tears.

and those that do seated ones on the bench rack because they cant be bothered to wait for just a bench to become free.

Some one ledt their shaker and stuff next to the rack the other day, then proceded to use the bike on the other side of the gym.........so I stole the rack.

Bloke came back and was like 'oh...'.

Well done, I got to the first milestone for my squat which was my own body weight of 80kg this week. The idiots I mentioned earlier about doing bicep curls at the squat rack again out did themselves by now doing shoulder press at the squat rack I think they want everyone at the gym to hate them.

Nothing wrong with shoulder pressing from a rack.

 

[Delvis]

I presume he means db pressing.....in which case its pointless.
Unless you have those weird db hook things UE used to post about

Them feels when you can't press in the rack. Pick up from the floor everytime! :/

 

[Delvis]

Which is arguably better for you anyway

No, they were using the bar used for squats, all the shoulder machines were free and they just set a bench up underneath the rack and used the bar.

 

[Chris1712]

I always shoulder press in the rack, as you should. You can't properly set yourself from the floor, getting tight and unracking are all part of the exercise just like squatting IMO.

I don't see a problem with that, if you want to concentrate fully on the press rather than arsing about trying to get it up to your shoulders then it's a good use of the rack.
