first night at new gym

[jcp2]

nothing like the first night at a new gym, their were guys in shirts, a crew of about five guys hitting it hard, lead by a 750 bencher. As i look out of the corner of my eye i see a Monolift with the elitefts logo on it. A competiton bench, amazing how it makes the setup that much easier. All the necessities one could ever want, i almost had a tear in my eye when it was all over. It is a great feeling to have guys who are much stronger than me in the group, can't wait to be able to put the shirt on every week. The times are great, may do a meet in october, it is a full, but i may just do push pull and take a token squat. We will see.

Sounds cool. What gym is it? And where? Just curious...

That sounds slightly differnet from the gym that I just joined. I walked in last night and the power rack was being used by someone else doing squats. I'm new and I don't squat much weight yet, which doesn't exactly do a lot for my ego.

I was stunned when this guy took the weight off the rack to do his squats. I mean, I know that some people advocate only going down to parallel, but what the hell is the rational for only going down 2 inches?

I no longer feel any shame. Now I squat proud, with my ass nearly hitting the ground.

Yup, i am not deadlifting i need a week off i pulled three weeks in a row off a 3 inch platform. My back needs a little break, i am going to do all the accesory work though. I may do some light GM's not sure. I told Joel to bring his canvas suit, so we can see if he gets anything out of it pulling, i know a lot of sumo guys like it to pull in. See if he can get to the bar with the straps down. We will see if he brings it. Are you going to be their tomorrow. I joined the place so i will be their for good now.
