I've also left my training shoes at my place, so I trained in my nice leather work shoes, plus socks for the deadlift. It wasn't ideal, but whatever, first training in a week.

Found a university gym! My new housemate took me there, and what a pleasant surprise: it had 3 power racks, one with a platform attached to it, and bumper plates from 5kg to 25kg, a pair each. The bars are the thicker, cheaper kind, but what the heck, the rest make it up for that. The monthly fee is only 33 quid, so that's a plus, and it's close to the place I live at the moment.

Good to see you found a decent gym- now you can get back to setting new PR's!

[seti]

Yes, hopefully! I'll need to rebuild my strength though, as I have regressed, even though I've tried to train at least once or twice a week. Plus I have to get used to this thicker bar, that throws off not only my pull, but my press technique as well.
