    Cable station occupied by kid doing "pulldowns" (basically weighing himself) so up and down the rack dumbbells AMRAP EMOM got up to 20kg, had to skip 15 as the kid hogging the cable station also hogged the dumbbells to do cheat curls with massive leg drive, while his friend failed to squat 90kg. Okay so the high bar squat is also know as the Olympic squat and they don't judge squat depth in the Olympic lifts, but it was still a pitiable display.

    Entered the gym to find a small urchin attempting one arm pull downs, covered in chalk. He'd sneaked a chalk bucket out of the crossfit area and covered his hands and all the nearby apparatus with chalk. His companion was busy trying to play percussion by banging two 12.5kg dumbbells together while lounging on an incline bench.

    Got a surprise in the gym today. A shiny new platform, half size. A sign above said "Deadlifts only on the platform". Does this mean that I can't deadlift elsewhere or that I can't do anything other than deadlifts on the platform ? x2

    Squat HB 20x5x2 40x5 50x2 60x5 70x5 80x5 90x5

    BTN 20x5x2 25x5 30x3 35x1 40x2 ouch, 37.5x6x3 massively easier than 40, which I did last week.

    DB row 22.5x12x3
    Seated DBP 12.5x15,10,12

    Lateral raise 7x15x3
    Face Pull 36x15x3

    So much for today.

    DL 20x10 60x5 80x3 100x1 120x1 130x1 135x3x2 125x4 115x5

    Pin bench 20x5x2 40x5 50x3 60x1 62.5x5 65x5 67.5x5

    Squat 20x5x2 405 60x3 70x1 80x1 90x1 100x2 and a calf muscle gave out on the way up, so I strapped it with a wrap and quit there.

    Gym entrance blocked by a young lady doing something like a sumo deadlift with a 5kg aluminium practice bar and a pair of ten kg bumpers RIGHT ACROSS THE FLIPPING DOORWAY! I would have pointed out the sign saying "DEADLIFTS ONLY ON THE PLATOFORM", but thankfully she quit at this point and did her stretching. This involved doing 'the wheel' thus pointing her camel toe straight at the squat rack I was using. Possibly a come on, possibly just very naive.

    Squat HB 20x5x2 40x5 60x3 70x1 80x1 90x1 100x1 105x1 107.5x3 105x5 102.5x3 (really messed up rep number 4) 100x3 calf pain stops play.
