I wish my calves weren't so but it is what it is.

Worked out because this was deload, but had to hit last week's squat 531 session plus the 5X10 DL for boring but big, then had a DL + squat BBB deload Wednesday and the squat + DL BBB today. My legs feel like rubber. But I caught up and got all the workouts in by going five days in a row.

Now I can start my new cycle on track Monday.

If this week was supposed to be your deload, I’d deload next week

Hadn’t taken a gym selfie in a minute. Sitting at about 210 right now. Gonna do that cut for 2-3 months and hopefully wind up around 195-200 and at about 8% bodyfat.

It was 205,nothing crazy, but he's like "I need help lifting off" ... OK. So he is grunting really loud and yelling "seven more, six more" while violently dropping the weight on his upper chest arms totally out almost to the hooks. I had to help almost every rep but he kept doing more. So he finishes and I go about my lifts. He rests a while, then asks me to spot him again, same thing four times.

I wish I had a video, this was the single worst lifting form I've ever seen. He asked how his form was and I told him that his right arm was stronger than his left, his left was coming back towards me, his grip was too far apart and he should lower the bar a little slower.

he continued slamming it down against his chest violently in the exact same way and I just let it be.

Would you guys critique someone's lift in that situation? This bro needs to just take all the weight off the bar and go back to square one.

I see a lot of form mistakes that I want to offer help on at the gym, but I don't since my advice isn't solicited.. this dude asked you though, so I would have for sure told him what was up, and probably have let him sit with the weight on his chest for a few second each rep so that he knows that you're pulling most of the weight off him instead of him actually pressing it up.

I decided to restart my personal program from Alsruhe back to the first DL day. I was completely gassed by the end and ran out of time to do the conditioning portion.

It's good to be back!

Standing calve raise machine is definitely lighter than the one at my old gym, so I'll need to go up in weight on that. Everything else was pretty standards. Barbell curls, hammer curls, the standing calve raises, then I had to do seated hamstring curls instead of GHR since this gym doesn't have one.. that was a bummer to learn, finished with leg press. Hit 8 plates plus a 10 on each side. I'll do 8 plates and a 25 on each side next time, and film it like I said I was going to this week. Being at the new gym last night had me feeling extra conscious of loading that much weight up if I'm not hitting full reps.
