Personal PR the otherday...

[JeSt3r]

just felt like posting..

(dont say do them out of the smith machine...i tried it...my gym bitched and moaned and said no to do them unless in the smith machine...why i dont know...i got too pissed to even listen to the guy...i told him to go back behind the desk and get off my nuts)

ok so...by this point i had already done all my back routine...pullups,rows,bent rows, the usual....so this fat ass pisses me off so i go in the smith machine and started with 2 plates...cranked out 15 reps figured lets show fatboy that he prolly wont beable to do this shit...so i threw on a 25 on each side...did 8 of those....figured...why the hell not...and put the 3rd plate on...315 for 3 1/2 reps....i know its not nessisarily 315 cause its in a smith machine but thats the first time i've deadlifted in about a year and i managed to break my previous record by 45 lbs =) so im happy....k enuff ranting from me

i know you said not to say it lol
you need to politely expalin to the dim witted people in your gym te smith is not a natural range of motion especially for deads..you can wind up injured..trust me..

anyway congrats on beating your old record it shows youve gotten stronger but please start doing tem on the floor or at least in a rack!!!

 

[JeSt3r]

yea i know bro...but the funny part is we dont even have racks...my gym used to be golds but switch over to "Planet Fitness" (The judgement-free zone) they got rid of all the DBs over 70 lbs...no more racks...but then again i knew it wasnt gona be anything good due to the fact i payed $100 for a year... lol

Absolute worst chain of gyms around. If there is another one around your area I would strongly consider switching.

yea i noticed...but i still got like 8 months left so i guess ill stay there until they decide im "getting too big" and want to kick me out....then ill just sue them for discrimination and make some money off them...lol

Whatever you do bro, like wnt2bbeast said, please don't do deadlifts in the smith anymore. Or squats for that matter.

 

[JeSt3r]

yea well i guess im going to have to adapt for now...the motion didnt seem to bother me at all

 

[super_rice]

why do people have to do deads on the smith? i'm sure even the worst of gyms have a bench... just grab the bar from the bench bros and deadlift with that...

 

[JeSt3r]

yea thats the problem they dont want us deadlifting on the floor...why i dont know i didnt bother asking the fat mess why...they prolly odnt want to take responsiblity if u fuck urself up....although its worse in the smith machine

 

[blut wump]

You don't really think they care whether you ruin your back do you? It's their precious floor that concerns them. They don't want you to be dropping a barfull of plates and making marks in it.

You can do reasonable shrugs in the Smith but stay away from heavy deads.

WD on the PR!

Find a new gym. Even if you have to get a membership at a local university, do so. 70lb dumbells?
